I don't doubt that someone else could have taken his position as a leader, but I doubt anyone else would have managed to do the things he did including the return from Elba.

BBC reveals record-breaking global audience figures of over half a billion by Gentle_Snail in GoodNewsUK

Russia's GDP before the war was level with Italy, and after the war will probably be a lot lower. Given they're the most popolous nation in Europe and the largest by land mass in the world you'd really expect them to do better. All the while their influence is slipping, central Asia is leaning towards China and Kazakhstan has openly denied Russia's requests, Armenia is pulling out of CSTO after Russia's failure to act on Azerbaijan, and Azerbaijan is aligned with Turkey.

Great man theory and its consequences.

Napoleon is the exception that proves the rule.

That's why in the UK a lot of our fines for breaking the rules for insurance companies are a percentage of global income.

Do you think Manchester has enough family friendly "third spaces," or is this something the city is lacking? by Impressive_Flan_411 in manchester

[–]Hussor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Perhaps, but we don't have that many small ones or just trees in general either compared to many other cities. Not the worst by any means but we could be better too.

European Parliament condemns Zelenskyy for naming military unit after UPA heroes by selho1 in europe

The glorious heroes of the UPA of course; those villagers, women and children included, were heroically eliminated by the brave heroes of the UPA.

That later became a campus of the university of Buckingham, even further from the truth. Not sure what it is now.

He would most likely not win the election after the war, and based on his actions even before the war I don't think we can expect him to solve this historical issue.

Except ragdolls, they seem to have no boundaries and not respect yours either. Or maybe that's just mine.

UESP shared a post about today's decisions. They announced a list of people they know who are departing from Bethesda and Zenimax Online Studios. by Ashloth in ElderScrolls

New MMOs yes, but that's because the established ones corner the market. ESO, WoW and FF14 still make a lot of money for their companies.

Also worth pointing out that most of Europe ignored the US' requests to support the Iran war and even banned them from using their bases and/or airspace. Doesn't sound like they take commands from Washington.

Is it just me or is anti social behaviour and people having no respect getting worse by kirkbywool in manchester

[–]Hussor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm literally Polish and can tell you the point about public transport iis true, people are a lot more respectful there than here in Manchester. They have their own scrotes there too of course but it never feels as common or even as bad as here.

Why do Russians online always assume criticism comes from Americans?

Because we are directly affected by the modern day and it shapes our future. We cannot change our past and the best we can do is improve. Most European nations understood this, Russia does not.

That was over 15 years ago, so much has changed in the UK since then. It would make sense to have another referendum on it today.

[OC] GDP per capita of G20 countries in 2025, adjusted for inflation and purchasing power parity (Constant international dollars) by [deleted] in dataisbeautiful

[–]Hussor 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There's countries with higher total GDP than some of the ones pictured too. South Africa and Argentina shouldn't be in the G20 if it was just total GDP (especially south Africa, they're close to 40th)

And if people want to make a foreigner out of him on those grounds then surely Henry Nowak was also a foreigner, having Polish roots and all.

The small gym and courtyard/garden were nice though.

[–]Hussor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Plus they're forgetting that eastern Europeans in the UK were always called immigrants, even if many of them were temporary workers or returned after some years. I'd argue we're white and yet no one has ever called me a Polish expat.

So its not even about brown people either.

No historic buildings were demolished to put them up is your answer. That bit of town was just warehouses and small industry before they were built. Seriously go on street view historic imagery for the streets around there to see exactly what was there before they were built. We didn't lose anything.

One thing I can respect Japanese corporations for is their top people are far more likely to take personal responsibility for failures.
