@troed What are the positions that people tried to convince you of?

The hard truth is that USAID, with its constant support of often violent leftist regime change, caused a lot of death!

@voidedintern Reminds me when I went to a "strict" japanese restaurant, that had the same policy, and I asked for soy sauce.
I had to argue with the staff for 2 minutes before they finally got me some soy sauce.

@palmerluckey Ahhh.... but check out how many people die globally due to _cold_!!
This is the secret that must never be publicly discussed! 😎
@echo_pbreyer I find it fascinating how uninterested the mainstream media has been. I did read an article or two about chat control, but no one cares about the risk of slipping it in through the back door through age verification.
@Incal There is scientific evidence that affirmations (prayer if you so want) does have a positive effect on performance, as does visualization.
I am not religious, but when I do feel a need to express gratitude for my life, I do "thank" the universe in general and think about how lucky I am to have food for the day, a great family and a roof over my head.
Gratitude also has some scientific evidence in favour of it, and it does correlate with improved psychological health.
@remixtures Excelent! Can't wait for the AI crash. Will be delicious!
Over time, open source AI (self-hosted or not) will become good enough, and hopefully the madness will then end.
@lain This is the truth! A word of advice... focus your search for women in the south and the east. Women in the west and north are completely destroyed by woke socialism, and are a liability and not an asset.
I don't think I have any friends who are married to west/north women. All of them went for south and east, if not south america or asia (even better!).
@remixtures I hope that the EU will join the war soon. If they did, the war would be over in 3-4 months, at most, and 100s of thousands of lives could be saved instead of letting it drag on.
The Wagner group almost took moscow. That's a small group of rebels. Imagine what a coordinated, full scale attack would do ,now that russias forces are tied up in Ukraine! 😎 🇺🇦 🇮🇱 🇺🇸

"These are tricky times for Russian President Vladimir Putin. The “special military operation” he launched against Ukraine in 2022, intended to last a few days until a puppet regime in Kyiv could be installed, has now gone on longer than both the Soviet fight against Nazi Germany and all of World War I. His forces have long ceased making significant gains on the battlefield; some data even suggest that Russian forces lost territory in April and May.
What gains the Russians have made have come at enormous cost: Last month, Anna Keast-Butler, the director of British intelligence agency GCHQ, cited new intelligence indicating that Russian war deaths had likely reached almost half a million; various Western sources put total Russian casualties at significantly more than 1 million.
In relative terms, the attrition losses are even more staggering. By some accounts, Russia is now incurring eight men killed or seriously wounded for every one lost by Ukraine. With average monthly casualties running at more than 30,000 this year, the Russian army is struggling to replace them with fresh recruits. It is offering sign-up bonuses as high as $80,000, and up to $140,000 in debt relief to encourage more men to enlist.
Those who do have little to look forward to. According to Russian military bloggers, the average life expectancy of a new recruit—from arrival at a training ground to death in a combat zone—lies somewhere between 10 days and three weeks. Once they are sent onto the battlefield, Russian fighters survive an average of 20 to 35 minutes."

@Orkin_Awk This is incorrect. If the country is owned, completely and privately, by its white citizens, you can have both, because there would be no un-owned area immigrants could move to.
@sambia Good stuff! I only wish that europe would join the war full force. Then it would be over in a few months.
@north @mullvadnet Article published in flamman, an extremist left paper. That's all you need to know.
Örebropartiet and Markus is one of the good guys trying to save sweden. This makes me respect Mullvad even more!
@jon Excellent, a crushing victory!
@cocaine_owlbear delta chat.
@mathieui I think delta chat is the state of the art at the moment.
@houseoftolstoy the telco markets, there were several competitors involved, and this has led to a price today for cellphones where you get unlimited minutes and messages for about 10 USD per month. I'd argue that it is potentially among the lowest prices for a cellphone in europe. This is privatization done right.
@houseoftolstoy Ouch, this is very sad. Those libertarians actually harm the libertarian cause. Because you need to introduce freedoms, and deregulate government carefully, and there are dependencies involved in successful deregulation.
If everything just disappears over night, all h*ll breaks loose.
Prime example... sweden privatized the electricity grid by creating private monopolies. This is stupid and has led to several 100% price increases.
Countering that, when sweden deregulated
@ThatCrazyDude Yes... this is the sad truth. I have a wireless pair that I only use for watching TV at night when the wife sleeps, and I experience the same thing. When it thinks the battery is about to run out, it shouts "BATTERY LOW". Very annoying. I would prefer if it just started to blink the LED:s or something like that.
