r/Europe discovers that Ukrainians are not keen on going to the meat grinder
  • Putin being a batshit insane lunatic ready to kill another few hundred thousand young Russians for his ambitions doesn’t make the situation easier.

    They still think this war is because Putin woke up one day and decided to invade because he’s just crazy and evil like that.

  • Dear Democrats, I'm just saying...
  • Since he was born in America he’s a natural born US Citizen and thus theoretically eligible to be President.

    (But he hasn’t lived in the US for at least 14 years so he isn’t actually eligible at the moment.)

  • Is it possible to love and hate someone at the same time?
  • I (romantically) love my only friend (he doesn't reciprocate) but in general he's kind of an asshole that only cares about himself.

    I recently told him about a major life regret that directly relates to my current mental problems and he responded "regret is a ridiculous emotion since the past cannot be changed".

    He's autistic (as am I), but that's just too far. It's fucking obvious that that's a shitty thing to say but he doesn't really care.

    I hate him half the time and would be much better off not in love with him but it just won't go away.

  • Putin addresses Ukraine with Russia’s first public ceasefire proposal: Ukraine must withdraw troops from DPR, LPR, Kherson, Zaporozhye regions+notify NATO it will not move forward with alliance talks.
  • They’ve probably been offering this deal privately for more than a year now. I guess at this point they feel it’s been long enough to demonstrate that Ukraine can’t kick them out even with NATO weapons. They’re making the offer public to put pressure on Zelenskyy and make him seem less reasonable with his completely unrealistic hard position of pre-2014 borders.

    How well it will work I don’t know.

  • CenterValues

    It’s a parody of 8values and LeftValues. No idea what the ideology of the person who made this is (probably centrist I think), but it’s funny either way, in different ways. Some of the intended jokes hit though, but maybe not in the intended way. Either way this post is a dunk on centrists.

    Apparently Apple and Google decided to drop all the family emojis in favor of generic icons.

    Shown is a man, woman, girl family, but every 2 adult 1 child family now shows the same, with similar icons for the other numbers of each.

    Actually it looks like Google still represents women and girls in the new ugly icons, but man and person (gender neutral) show up the same as do boy and child (gender neutral).

    This is literally no steps forward, many steps back. Especially for Apple, wiping out both sexual orientation and gender representation. And Google conflating male and gender neutral is pretty bad too. I see no good reason for this change, not even a profit-motivated reason. I think it might have something to do with representing race. i.e. a silhouette is more race neutral than yellow. But they could just support mixed race families instead.

    Microsoft on the other hand supports all the possible family combinations of both gender and skin tone, which Apple and Google never supported. Here's the built in Windows 11 tool to make a family. Each person's gender and skin tone can be changed.

    Tangent: on the other hand, Microsoft refuses to support country flag emojis for some reason which is annoying.

    Libs updating their signs after Biden’s SOTU speech

    It’s actually from a couple years ago but hilarious how apt it is.

    If you can’t see it

    the crossed out text is “no human is illegal”.

    Intergalactic Russian nuclear weapons pose huge threat for US

    The Ukraine war was just a distraction all along. Russia has developed FTL travel and now has nukes stationed in Andromeda, waiting to strike the US.

    Also lol at showing Crimea as unambiguously part of Ukraine, but also showing Ukraine bombing Crimea. I guess Ukraine is bombing itself.

    Absolutely unhinged thread from the worst lib account you've ever seen

    https://twitter.com/saladshooter9/status/1741985174709997980

    The first 4 points (not in the screenshot, in the full thread) aren't horrible, depending on what calls of ableism they have in mind, but it's just way down hill from there.

    Their bio: > Brunch lib. Basically a KHive/Bonds Dog amalgam. I stand with 🇺🇸🇮🇱🇺🇦🇬🇾🇹🇼🇦🇲

    Just the worst collection of flags, except 🇬🇾 and 🇦🇲, but I'm guessing 🇬🇾 is just to follow the State Department line on their territorial dispute with Venezuela.

    I so want this to be a parody, but they have a lot of threads about how horrible various 91° media pundits actually love Trump.

    (Not that all their targets are undeserving, ♫Michael Tracey Crypto-Fascist♫ is definitely not.)

    lmao there’s going to be a “Capitalism and Economy Fest” on Steam

    Organized by some third party, but hosted on Steam.

    https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/marketing/upcoming_events/themed_sales/economy_2024

    > Games that are about capitalism, economy, or money grubbing are allowed in this event. It doesn't have to be real money—cookies count as a currency!—but the entire goal of the game should be to make money.

    lmao at the not at all subtle beg for Cookie Clicker to be part of the fest. I hope it’s not.

    > Games that are mostly about trading or bartering are not eligible for this event. Sorry, this is an event for Capitalist titles only!

    Trading and bartering is economy. And an economy isn’t necessarily about maximizing money earned. If they just wanted capitalist stuff they should have left the word economy out. It literally says capitalism or economy in the description.

    I’m guessing it’s just brainworms who think economy = capitalism.

    Anyway it would be hilarious if Workers and Resources applied to be in the fest.

    > Construct your own republic and transform a poor country into a rich industrial superpower!

    > Economic simulation. Prices of resources on the global market are changing over time as you play –one day you can sell or purchase steel for a $100 per ton, but in a few months the cost can rise to $200 or decrease to $50. The price of everything is connected to the cost of work and resources.

    See, it’s about making money and economy. That’s what you were looking for, right?

    Or what’s some game that critiques capitalism by having you take it to its logical end? The organizers could probably be tricked into accepting it.

    The Sims 4 Landleech Expansion Pack: Official Reveal Trailer

    > Property Management

    > Property owner Sims can be present property managers, living among their tenants, or they can live in a separate residence while generating income from several property investments. Watch out – if property owners don’t keep their Unit Ratings high, they could face a Tenant Revolt.

    "Tenant Revolt" sounds cool though. Multi-family housing is cool too.
