Bomb someone. Immediately call “total ceasefire” so they can not retaliate. Art of the Deal.

Oh, he stopped? Why?

Is it working on Linux?

Sadly, politicians across Europe spent decades catering to car manufacturers, treating them as untouchable moneymakers. The industry in turn grew lazy and saw no reason to innovate. We’re stuck with outdated combustion engine cars that hardly anyone wants. While European companies were asleep, China moved ahead and built up its own electric car industry. Now Europe finds itself needing rare earths and has to hope that cooperation still outweighs competition.

It is sadly no surprise that intelligence agencies act as if they are above the law. In some cases they shockingly are.

On a completely different note: How absolutely adorably British are those judges in their fancy dresses?

If you run your own server you can have a look at bazarr.

Da könntest du recht haben! Die sehr vielen Kommentierenden, die den French toast als geeignet für den Geschlechtsakt oder sogar für die Ehe erachte, sorgen dafür, dass ich ihn bald erneut probieren muss, um mir eine neue Meinung zu bilden.

This is the way. Waffles and pancakes are in a different league compared to French toast.

I mean at some point the number doesn’t matter anymore as most trade will just stop.

Interesting, I had a very similar experience. I loved exploring the world, gaining new powers to unlock even more areas and growing stronger along the way. The world felt alive and authentic. Traversal was fun and combat was fair. I also liked how the characters you randomly meet have their own journeys, making the world feel dynamic.

But as the ending approached, it lost some momentum. With such a vast world and so much to discover, getting from A to B to C took time. I never actually finished the game but somehow that felt fine. It was more about the journey than the destination, which is rare for me.

If the initial reviews are good, the sequel might be the first game I buy at full price in a long time.

It did pitch.

I had the same hope the last time this clown was president (welp, there goes my US visa). It didn’t happen. Maybe this time it’ll be different but as long as conservatives have any saying in EU politics I’m very much sceptical.

Wait, from what Nic Cage movie is that snippet again? Is it the one where he becomes a vampire?

But… But… But, nobody’s buying european cars anymore!! We have to destroy the planet so that manufacturers can make some money at home for a few years after basically not innovating for at least a decade.

I’m not saying NATO would but they did intervene in Kosovo. That was not defensive. There’s some wiggle room in being a defensive pact.

I prefer if you refer to procrastination as “working in mysterious ways”. That’s what I’ll do from now on.

I agree with you on that, late stage capitalism in full bloom. I was thinking about the time multiple decades ago, at the beginning of the last century.

It is really sad to see that we as a society are past our prime in multiple areas. At least when looking at it from a “western” perspective. And when I consider the political climate it seems that things have to get a whole lot worse before they can get better. I resonate with the shower thought.

That has always been the case. I’d even say it got easier in the last decades, in general. That does not mean people are no longer struggling, of course.
