Lots of countries want to pivot closer to the EU as a hedge against a mercurial America or authoritarian China…

I’m definitely a fan of closer ties though I’d be a little wary about fully joining an organization where decisions can be held up by a recalcitrant Orban or Le Pen.

It’s free and using it means I don’t have to support American tech companies.

I’m not sure about emissions per activity rankings but if you’re concerned about the emissions from a post, but surely that means someone watching a 4k movie on netflix is akin to a warcrime?

“Are we going to negotiate these with your Supreme Court or…?”

In both the US and the UK women account for more than 50% of Reddit users.

That is a twist I did not see coming.

I dunno, I babysit my friends’ toddler and she has way more self awareness.

“Calls are being made on social media” - In other words, the same accounts that were already calling for boycotts are continuing to do so.

Talk is cheap, more so online.

Really? That’s your actual response?

Honestly, if all your friends and friend groups are using safer and encrypted media, it probably means you just don’t have that many friends. (Which, hey, no judgement, some of my favourite folks only have a handful and damn do I feel priviliged to be among that small happy few!)

That’s… Not how friend groups work?

The most recent large thread has 21 ppl, all of whom presumably have their own sets of networks etc. It would be unreasonable to demand everyone else switch because of my superior taste and equally unreasonable to demand everyone message me separately about anything I might find relevant.

I need one for messenger to work and I have a set of friends who prefer to use messenger to coordinate.

Tarriftopia complaining about “protectionist and exclusionary policies that bully American companies out of the market” is amazing.

The best thing Putin has done is to bring the verb defenstrate back.

I don’t play many games etc but just wanted to say congrats on finishing it!

Also, cool subjects material!

That’s bold!

Ha, completely. I’d just figured that was a Ukraine war switch but I imagine you’re right.

Of course Buffett hopped off the ai train before it was cool.

Does he actually not remember he tried this less than 6 months ago and already had to back down?

If Norway just created a Noble Prize, would he notice the difference? And if you surprised him with it in person, no one could ever point out that it wasn’t the Nobel prize as trump can’t stand to ever be wrong so he’d say that’s the one he really wanted all along.

Problem solved, someone can nominate me for the second Noble prize.

So it took that dumb fuck 9 months to realize that Putin’s the bad guy, Ukraine isn’t to blame for being invaded and that Western support could win this war?

Imagine how many lives would have been saved if he’d just listened to every goddamn adult in the previous administration.
