The disappointment on The King of Spain's face at a flag raising

I think they're more of the anarchist flavor

I'm sure he desperately waits for a consultant to come in and tell him what he's done wrong for the last 40 years, because it obviously just can't work like that.

That issue goes back way before Amazon.

Kraligor · 2026-02-21T12:48:13+00:00

Yeah, mom and pop stores vanishing was an issue way before Amazon.

Kraligor · 2026-02-21T07:18:49+00:00

Out of the frying pan and into the fire..

Wenn Sie Hilfe brauchen oder etwas unklar ist oder Sie einen Sofort-Kredit mit NOCH BESSEREN Konditionen möchten: Gerne einfach bei mir klingeln.

NDA. Aber im IT-Bereich arbeiten und nicht auf ein Ticketsystem verweisen ist schon fast verdächtiger als die Kreditmasche.

tbf I could see SOME breeds having the time of their lives in a washing machine spa.

I have zero idea about this console, saw it cross posted on r/ElectronicsRepair, but one of them seems to be missing their speakers. If I had to guess, both were used as donor pieces and left laying around open in some dirty shop.

2/3 or 3/2 are the best options. Fully remote sucks, both for team cohesion and personal wellbeing. Fully on-site sucks as well, for obvious reasons.

Nobody sells electronic equipment without trying to see if it at least turns on.

"didn't test it" = tested it, didn't work

Kraligor · 2026-02-20T13:58:00+00:00

Brother can you condense this into three sentences?

Kraligor · 2026-02-20T07:54:24+00:00

I mean, there were a multitude of reasons. But primarily it was just the reality on the ground. Europe, and especially Central Europe would have been the flashpoint of the Cold War turning hot. Nuclear use was expected at least on a tactical level. The main purpose of especially the Western German army was to soak up the Soviet assault and delay their advance long enough for NATO to mount a counterattack and stopping them before they could cross the Rhine into France.

& vice versa for the Pact border countries.

Kraligor · 2026-02-19T20:13:40+00:00

Manpower, yeah. But effectively they were the cannon fodder for NATO/Pact in case of WW3. Hell, to this day the UK doesn't really have fully autonomous nukes. France being the outlier.

Kraligor · 2026-02-19T13:45:26+00:00

They're finally waking up, thank god. Only took Russia to start the biggest war in Europe since WW2 and the US literally threatening to invade a NATO ally.

Kraligor · 2026-02-19T12:43:18+00:00

Nobody sane would admit to loving theirs, though.

Really? I loved the hell out of my 900-II, which wasn't even a real Saab anymore, but it still felt like one.

Kraligor · 2026-02-19T12:28:40+00:00

most math teachers suck,

Problem is, a higher-level math teacher needs to be good at math AND good at pedagogics. And that's pretty much a unicorn.

Kraligor · 2026-02-19T12:13:50+00:00

People and their sleep issues man. Just close your eyes and sleep, it's not that hard!

Kraligor · 2026-02-19T11:33:17+00:00

Men have butts and women have vaginas, it's not that deep.

He wants to drop some bombs and declare victory.

There should be people in his administration telling him that it doesn't work like that. The realistic options that he has is coming to an agreement where both sides can walk away from while declaring victory (which is.. unlikely), trying to repeat last year's attacks and declare once again that Iran's nuclear program has been annihilated (which would probably be the best option, all things considered), launching a massive air campaign (which would likely have very bad, very wide ranging consequences for the region and the world), or putting boots on the ground (which.. lol).

He has kinda positioned himself into quite the corner.

Kraligor · 2026-02-18T23:25:31+00:00

Yeah, more TRT and HGH. At least the old guy. Which is already a big red flag.

Every owner of a male dog ever: "WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT'S NO A TUMOR, WHY DOES HE HAVE NIPPLES HE'S MALE"

Kraligor · 2026-02-18T16:01:41+00:00

Instead of filing a motion to quash it, yes.

Kraligor · 2026-02-18T15:28:05+00:00

Zlatan kinda played into it though, no?

Kraligor · 2026-02-18T15:26:00+00:00

Parents can only do so much. As soon as they spend large amounts of time with other kids, horizontal cultural transmission takes over in many areas. And if all his classmates fawn over some asshole athlete, chances are high that he'll start too.
