One month in and still unsure whether we're looking at a decade-week summer, the summer of Kamala or just maybe a classic white boy summer? What's it gonna be?
How does the AI know what hexbear is?
Training data. Probably a couple of Reddit posts or something like that.
Not true. Germany famously denied paying even small pensions for forced laborers 50 years after the event, while gladly paying such pensions for Belgian Waffen SS members.
So Ukraine should probably apply for compensation for their Nachtigall banderites or something.
Receive double bonus units when allied with Polish or Lithuanian civs, but units gifted by Teutons, Franks or Britons have only 50% HP.
Trump reelected, storm begins, Hillary Clinton executed by firing squad, Lavrov "Genocide Joe" UN speech, Germany defaults, EU starts dissolution process
At the rate this is going we'll probably get to play the Ukrainians as the hot new civilization in like the 12th Age of Empires DLC releasing in 2026. I see farming bonuses and their special tech will be "decommunization" or something.
News mega has seen better days
Yeah, I mean, it's still the same guy posting them, for more than a year now! Bring in some fresh blood, mix up the USP, it's basic marketing folks! You "cummunists" probably never heard of that did you!
The German defence minister's name is really Pistorius?
Yes, and he's the most popular politician in Germany right now with like 50% approval (lol).
He came in one year ago to replace a lady who refused to send tanks to Ukraine and didn't want the stress they put on her for that.
Pistorius just talks tough a lot and promises to thow money at the many problems of the armed forces. For that he was mocked a little and called "Pistol-ius" at first, but that's gone now. I have heard people at work - boomer PMCs, like educated people - worry about Russia launching missiles at Berlin. These guys must love a show-off like Pistorius.
If it helps, this won't be true in all likelihood. Part of the terror of the Iraq war was the annihilation of infrastructure, whereas my understanding is that that's been specifically avoided by the RF.
There's some truth to that, but I don't think we can really say Iraq was worse, looking back.
Iraq in 2005 was less devastated than Iraq in 2011, or Iraq in 2017. Regarding destroyed and maimed human lives, Ukraine may already be worse than Iraq 2005, that's two years into the forever war. Europe's economy cratering and Europe going full fascist might just be around the corner, there's your regional blowback. ISIS expanding to Syria took 10 years, who knows what we are going to see in the coming years.
Man was not meant to have this kind of power. Unplug and repent!
This year, we talked about the economists and how they brought our society to the brink of collapse.
Kadiivka is in the town featured in that Russian tank video from June 2022 where a bunch of T-72s roll into the setting sun on their way to Popasna while blasting Crimson Lada from their loudspeakers. Did the rounds on the usual sites back then. Extremely vibey tank footage, can upload if anyone is interested.
Watched it again this weekend and was smiling and chuckling the entire 2 hours of the movie. Even noticed some new details that I didn't get before, like how Johnny basically accepts his role as meaty cannon fodder but still is all gung ho about it in the last 30 minutes.
Wonderful movie.
Two years after Ratimir Poopin' personally invaded The Ukraine, Germany legalizes marihuana in a desperate attempt to shore up stoner support for democracy.
Hard to convey how big this is - sure, smoking weed has become as normalized here as anywhere else in the west, then again the repercussions for doing it are at least theoretically quite insane, like for example you automatically lose your drivers license for 6 months if you're caught DUI with any amount of cannabis in your piss.
The legalization itself is very German: it's 180+ pages of legalese, you have to register with a "smoking club" where you grow and share your weed among club members, 500 members per club max, no public or pharmacy dispensaries, no smoking within 500 yards of any school, playground or kindergarten, buying on the black market is still technically illegal and so is stashing more than 40 grams per adult... you know, rules-based stuff.
But at least it's mostly legal now, cops can't take it away any more and you won't get into legal trouble. Oh, I mean as soon as the lower house passes the bill, but they kinda have to apparently. I think this is the first time that I'm actually kinda happy about my government.
But it will get old real fast I bet.
believe the guy’s name or moniker is also Lenin lol
It's called "nom de guerre" dad, and it's a far superior concept to a "moniker"!
What if we all voted for Joe Biden and he was not Joe Biden, but more like LBJ and FDR?
Everytime they fly close to where I live, I get a heart attack because the engines are so damn loud.
Damn shame, I'd probably climax.
