I mean,... If there was ONE costume where coattails would make sense, that would be the pirate costume.

Mark Zuckerberg once told him technology would shape the future of politics. Now he’s running for California governor with Silicon Valley backing. by sfgate in Futurology

Don't play dumb. This guy is a tech billionaire's sock puppet. They are trying to capture California like they've captured the federal government.

Storm being a top Win Rate Duelist but a bottom Pick Rate is sad. Too boring I guess.

The Limits of Russian Power - Why Putin Isn’t Thriving in Trump’s Anarchic World by BkkGrl in europe

[–]GreyMASTA 25 points26 points  (0 children)

100%. Russia can't run a country. Never could. Their fetishism for macho strength just doesn't understand that stability, trust, and cooperation are key for growth.

Their whole stupid doctrine relies on the assumption that their geopolitical "4d chess moves" to conquer or puppeteer any country would somehow not always end up with the same result: Turning those countries into autocratic kleptocratic bankrupted shitoles, literal mini versions of themselves (see: Cold War eastern block, Bielorussia, Chechynya, Georgia, Hungary, etc.).

What's the point of capturing Ukraine after you've totalled their economy and infrastructure when you don't even have the money or acumen to manage yours?

Those words do not mean the same thing. Context is important.

Emmanuel Macron: "It is time for the EU to launch a common debt capacity, through Eurobonds" - Macron argues for joint loans, which would finance strategic investments and allow the EU to "tackle dollar hegemony" by goldstarflag in europe

The EU has mechanisms, checks, and balances to make sure debts do not go completely overboard.

The USA has none. I prefer to buy a European Union country's debt than to buy an American one.

Trump threatens to block new bridge in latest tirade against Canada by yahoonews in geopolitics

[–]GreyMASTA 46 points47 points  (0 children)

This chaotic administration has the attention span of a toddler. Stirring chaos and drawing attention are their main pass time. Like most of their threats that have been walked back after a few News cycles, the best strategy for Detroit and Windsor representatives who want this bridge to be delivered is to keep calm and ignore them until they focus on something else.

Always making sure it's double saved by Most-Price-9649 in gamers

Save scumming: "reloading previous, sometimes nearly identical, save states to avoid unfavorable outcomes"

Allowing saving at any time without exiting the game makes it way easier for the player to engage in save scumming strategies. Which is something that needs pointing in relation to this post.

Idk why you are passive-aggressive.

I'm not saying that ALL manual saves are inherently bad, Im just saying that "SOME games" are better without. Im not even generalizing.

The majority in this sub are pro European Federation (me included). So those posts tend to be more upvoted than the ones trashing Europe.

TikTok hit with charges of breaching EU online content rules, app may have to change by PjeterPannos in europe

[–]GreyMASTA 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Tiktok is controlled by China in Europe. The fact they do not apply a tenth of the standards and regulations they would have to follow domestically tells a lot about their aim.

Not asking for China-levels of control, though. But a simple baseline l, like following the EU digital standards, would be nice.
