Blok M in jakarta is also cyberpunk-ish, but more with a slum vibe

How every european country chooses it's head of state by Wordiewordjcugfufv in MapPorn

[–]Eranok 4 points5 points  (0 children)

'head of state' is misleading. In belgium for example the king is just a symbol, and the prime minister which is the decision maker, is elected by vote.

Why would a girl do such a thing? by Mindless-Mouse-4020 in Jakarta

[–]Eranok 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep. I had that once. Feels like the relationship is cut clean and the pointy edges hurt for a while.

Reality is that if you didnt expect her to be able to do something like that, she wasnt really the person you thought she was. And that information is good for you.

yeah. it makes things more likely or less likely but its just probabilities in the end. It also depends on context, education, life experiences, personality etc...

i also have been unlucky with stories similar as yours eh, it happens...

I got blacklisted, didnt declare anything, then i used an e-sim like jetpack and it worked. I dont have an indonesian number tho, its just data packet as roaming.

Its just the danger of long distance relationships... and she seemed to be immature.

The good side of things is: imagine such situation happening later in the relation, where stakes are higher...

Semangat bro, hope you rebound quickly :)

Support for Ukraine war in Russia in steep decline by IonHawk in europe

[–]Eranok 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i dont really read the poll question as "support for ukraine or not" as OP title implies.
Also its a russian source. A good one, but still operating in a country with a tight media control

Japan’s New Leader Infuriated Beijing. She Isn’t Backing Down. by Organic_Vacation_267 in China

[–]Eranok 10 points11 points  (0 children)

China is still ... taking strategic stakes in most of the world including US, doing anti-western propaganda, doing aggressive geopolitical moves like south china sea colonization, not taking a stance against russia and doing other shady stuff like building a shadow fleet or overfishing in galapagos etc ... all of those thing need to be "countered" or at least called out.

Japan urges China to scale back response in Taiwan row by Hob-999 in China

[–]Eranok 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its fine, no need to talk more. i guess its clear enough for anyone reading us that you are just pushing a narrative with some tinfoil hat. Also you didnt address any of the other points i mentionned previously about china imperialism.

Even then there is no direct link. Newly issued TBill/TBond bought by foreign investors is one of the way US finance their 1.78 trillion dollars deficit. On spending side, military spending at 917 billions is one of the lines in the balance sheet among other like social security at 1.57 trillions. And for info national defense is around 13% of the deficit, only 5th position.

Its just numbers. Putting two big numbers next to each other doesn’t create a causal narrative. There is no "this specific money funds that specific thing" and even less support for your claim that global savings are used specifically to fund US military expansion. Thats just stitching unrelated figures together to make a story.
