Don’t forget Trump has only ever won once - in 2016 - and even then he lost the popular vote by 3 million. Every single major race since then - the 2018 midterms, the 2020 presidential election, the 2022 midterms - he or his endorsed candidates either outright lost or failed to live up to expectations. Don’t get me wrong, I’m as anxious as anybody else and I’ll believe it when I see it, but if I were to place a bet I’d bet he’s going to lose yet again.

Perhaps you moved from Europe to the States in the interim like I did.

Edit to add: sorry if this came off as snarky, was not my intention. Just wanted to point out that it’s not always so clear-cut. I created my Reddit account in 2008 when I lived in the Netherlands. Then I moved to the US in 2016 and became a citizen in 2019.

Nice work OP! Can you name a few of those 70s/80s Euro space comics you like best? Would love to check some out.

Navalny most certainly wasn’t stupid. He understood what he was getting into when he got on that flight back to Russia. My guess is that he hoped his arrest and detention would spark an uprising, which sadly didn’t materialize.

I would not have made the choice he did, but I’m also not as brave as he is. Fuck Putin.

Funny thing you should say that because IIRC there actually is a Starbucks on the left right around the corner (though with a traditional facade at least). Source: wife and I were there last year.

Are you me? Because that sounds just like me. I can’t make it through the day without an afternoon nap and have heart palpitations at night. All this started after a bout of covid in early 2021 right before vaccines were available.

In OP’s defense, it’s kinda hard to tell nowadays if someone’s joking or not. Satire is dead and buried.

Edit to add: there absolutely is a non zero chance that the guy in the pic literally and purposefully peed his pants, thought that was a flex and subsequently bragged about it on the primary social network for professionals.

Good. They stole this man’s life. The evidence that exonerated him was available to the people involved with his protection 30 years ago. Insane that it took this long.

This stuff just makes my blood boil. Those 3 assholes on the parole board are complete sociopaths. There’s absolutely no justice here.

This has been tested by our humming the current closing theme at any time of day, and then watching him run into his crate.

That’s adorable

I disagree, in neither scenario the open source dev owes him anything. You get to use and modify the software for free, but the flip side is you are entitled to nothing.

Malware is not usually open source.

appel, 3 months ago

Usually it is? But ultimately it’s still your own responsibility. You did not pay the dev, the dev does not ask you to pay them, ergo the dev owes you diddly squad.

Yeah, it seems there’s an automated profanity filter which I was not aware of until recently. I wish you could toggle this on and off as a user, but hey, I’m a guest on this platform so who am I to removed about this, am I right?

I think I had that one as well. With the fireworks and everything? Yikes dawg…

The game is “Street Fighter II”, in case you have a senior moment like I did.

Since no one in this thread mentioned it: Thunder is also great, open source and free.

Sure thing!
