If Putin had any desire to conquer Switzerland, all I’ll say is good luck. They’re:

• Heavily fortified, with hundreds of bunkers dotting the countryside
• Highly mountainous, which would heavily slow down a ground invasion.
• One of the few states to still practice mandatory military service.
• Pretty lax with gun ownership, to the point where citizens have a statutory duty to bear arms in the event of an invasion.
• A substantial player in the banking sector with many oligarchs using their service. Any freeze they’d put on Russian assets would likely go above and beyond what NATO and the EU managed, just because of how synonymous their banks are with the wealthy. They would probably send the Russian economy into freefall long before they could even get anywhere near Zurich.
• Surrounded from all sides by NATO and EU member states, and would likely have plenty of time to prepare their own forces in the unlikely event that Russia mounts a full-scale invasion and takes over the rest of Europe.

Does Trump want to fuck with the impenetrable banking fortress nation that is Switzerland?

Ever since Spez took over, Reddit have been incredibly heavy-handed when it comes to enforcing their rules against inciting or glorifying violence, even if such a comment is directed towards people that are objectively hated, like nazis, pedophiles and child murderers. To that I’m not even remotely surprised that you got banned.

Even posting that Nazis deserve to be punched in the face can get you a permanent ban from Reddit… You know… the people who over 80 years ago were responsible for gassing 6 million Jews, 6 million Russian POWs and thousands of homosexuals and political dissidents.

Spez has gone so far beyond being a mere cuck. He’s a goddamn cuckasauras.

I miss the early days of the internet when it was still a wild west.

Something like I hate you myg0t 2 or Pico’s School would have gotten the creators cancelled if released in 2025.

I think France is more likely to turn Fascist.

Your comment almost gave me an aneurysm from how nonsensical it is.

Aren’t the AfD only doing well in parts of East Germany, which had previously been under decades of Soviet rule?

This would be a more substantial counter-protest if it occurred in Leipzig or Dresden.

Truly a “leopards ate my face” moment for American Muslims.

Tildes (a closed garden Reddit alternative) frequently love to reminisce about the days of small forum communities. Maybe we need to bring them back.

Still, it’s a crappy justice system if literally running an international drug cartel thats administering adrenaline to torture victims (so they don’t fall unconscious), skinning them alive and hacking off their limbs with a chainsaw until they die gets you a lighter prison sentence than being a Libertarian web developer who ran the “Amazon of illegal narcotics” and went down what I can best describe as a dollar tree Walter White style descent into criminality.

And that’s just one of the cartel’s many torture and murder methods. They are mercilessly brutal and an incredibly good reason to stay away from huge parts of Mexico.

I’m not saying Ross didn’t do anything wrong (he certainly did) but there are worse convicts in the criminal justice system who are getting the chance of parole that Ross was denied.

I think Ulbricht received a disproportionately harsh sentence for his crime of running an online dark web narcotics marketplace. El Chapo only got one life sentence, plus 30 years for his role as a drug cartel kingpin. And last I checked, the Sinaloa Cartel are responsible for torturing and murdering hundreds, likely thousands of people through some of the most brutal and sadistic methods known to man. Ulbricht’s body count by comparison? Zero, unless you count the two attempts he made to hire hitmen.

As for why Ross got pardoned… A few months ago Trump visited the Libertarian National Convention on his electoral campaign and pledged to commute Ross Ulbricht’s sentence to that of “time served,” which suddenly made an otherwise-booing Libertarian crowd erupt into cheers.

Good on him for actually keeping to his word. He could very easily have flipped the middle finger to the Libertarians who voted for him based on that pledge.

1. He wasn’t charged with murder for hire.
2. Two of the DEA agents that solicited this actually tried to steal millions from the seizure, and each received custodial sentences for it.
3. The other time he tried to hire a hitman, it was a crypto scammer.

Nah, they’d learn Toki Pona, because it’s an amazing interlanguage.

If they think Dollar Store Hitler is going to stand up for small businesses then they’re about to have a rude awakening.

Every handheld outside of the Steam Deck, like the ROG Ally, Legion Go, and MSI Claw all use Windows, which can make the experience crippling for non-technically minded users.

Clearly this games journalist has never used Linux because despite the monumental efforts Valve have made to make thousands of games run on SteamOS and improve the UX through Proton, it is still an inferior experience to Windows for anybody that isn’t incredibly tech savvy and the kind of person that lives and breathes command lines.

But then again, what did I expect from an industry where people are genuinely paid to talk out of their butts about games.

Speaking as a Steam Deck owner, SteamOS works a lot of the time and that’s perfectly acceptable. But there has been the occasional ‘Steam Deck Verified’ game like Cthulhu Saves The World which soft locks on a black screen after battles.

Also, Linux is ideal for the kind of people that buy budget handheld devices like these. They are phenomenal emulation devices.
