Could the US lose in Vietnam? Of course not, they just got bored and left

This is what GPT was invented for

It’s actually a certified UNIX even

BUT THE WEST

First off there is support by European countries and the US for Ukraine, though I agree that the decision for giving up their nukes should have come with harder guarantees; second Ukraine wasn’t as connected to the EU or the US as Iran was to Russia.

Russia is in no way legally obliged to help, but we’ve already seen what happens if they are (with Armenia not officially withdrawn, but having stopped paying membership fees and not participating in the CSTO). Russia is projecting weakness and offers no incentive to align with them for other countries, their words in this matter are not only hollow and hypocritical, but also embarrassing because they presented themselves as a military power, yet they only talk once an actual military power attacks an any.

The fact that Zelensky is still alive after four years while Chamenei was killed in the first night of the war (both a result of intelligence) is a very hard reality check, regardless of what one thinks is right or legal, which my post isn’t supposed to claim anything about.

Translation: Russia got embarrassed again as the world’s biggest Mafia state-run gas station that can’t protect its “allies” for shit

All these empty words from a terrorist state that’s practically incapable of more than bombing civilians. Absolutely pathetic.

Always with the “we stand up to the West” and as soon as one of theirs gets attacked, zero aid or action. No substance whatsoever.

Iran already made concessions, and it’s hypocritical to demand someone won’t do something you already do

She’s in it for herself.

Blending in perfectly with the rest

And do actual work?

Left exactly three days she was eligible for her congressional pension.

If her constituents who voted for her weren’t so stupid, they’d be upset.

Except for that child sex trafficking thing, which is a total non-issue

They’re probably right

I mean the article literally uses a picture of Ursula von der Leyen, there was no point in history where she radiated competence or integrity

Ukraine is running a leftover buffet of export variant jets against a domestic S-300, so the results might not be comparable when roles are reversed, which was the case in Venezuela. Surely other factors were at play as well, but the US probably has other means at their disposal for dealing with air defense. But let’s see, I’m only armchair generaling and hope none of this becomes relevant

Used against the US? When was that?

Wouldn’t rely on these too much, we’ve seen them in (in)action in Venezuela

I guess it just boils down to how much you accept a company to push you around. For me, the writing was on the wall with Windows Vista, even though I did have a Windows 7 machine/ partition later that actually worked well.

I also gave Windows 8 a chance when it came preinstalled on the notebook I bought, but I hated it. So I finally fully switched there, and no Windows since then (excluding the machines my employers provide, IDGAF about them since I get paid to use them and don’t have to administrate those). There is way less need for Windows nowadays, back in the Windows 7 days, you could basically only play Linux native and OpenGL titles, PulseAudio was iffy, Vulkan and by extension DXVK didn’t exist, AMD drivers weren’t great (AMD had just begun releasing documentation late 2007 and fglrx was a pain), so there were a lot of things that just wouldn’t work, and yet switching was possible.

As the author notes, there are way fewer blockers nowadays, and most people are just looking to excuse their complacency. And I think it’s fine to be ok with Windows, but then you shouldn’t complain too much. Microsoft under Nadella only cares about numbers.

The situation with cocaine is really fucked though. I think what could be a solution is to allow the sale and trade of coca leaves, but not the extracted substance.

Alcohol has serious issues as well and regulations are too lax. But cocaine, as opposed to cannabis and the popular psychedelics, has serious health risks regardless of your own preconditions.

Anyhow, prohibition has never worked anyways, so there’s that.

It’s Ford’s Quantum Computer, it will factor any number you want, as long as it’s 15.

I only know this joke for Norwegians
