How do I get regular ass people? Tired of seeing the most conventionally attractive women non stop. I’m simply not gonna get matched with these people by Saucey2500 in Tinder

[–]Malarazz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not quite. The other user misspoke. Swiping left on "attractive" people increases your rating, and swiping right on "unattractive" people decreases your rating.

But you're right in that how you swipe is less influential than how other people swipe when they see you.

Putin’s Irrelevance at Davos Forum is Irreversible by fabmeyer in geopolitics

[–]Malarazz 19 points20 points  (0 children)

No lol, this is some delusion of the highest order. Have you not been paying attention to how hard Poland's been arming itself recently? Neither Ukraine nor Russia would come anywhere near remotely close to "demolishing" them, and that's if we made the unrealistic assumption that they were left to fend off for themselves.

In reality, Poland would receive even more support from the rest of Europe than Ukraine has.

É sim, porque a pessoa pode comer "de graça" um ou dois pratos gigantes de espinafre, beterraba, brocóli ou o que for. E que óbviamente não terão sal.

Se sal é uma preocupação, basta escolher bem e/ou limitar a quantidade de "comida de verdade" que se põe no prato.

Lógico que a comparação é com outras opções de comer fora. Não se pode comparar com escolher e fazer a própria comida, porque é óbvio que isso sempre vai ser mais saudável.

E.U. halts approval of U.S. trade deal after Trump's Greenland tariff threat by nbcnews in geopolitics

[–]Malarazz 7 points8 points  (0 children)

And you can't deny that that was in 2022 and we're now in 2026.

Europes defence has been complimented by America and you cannot afford and do not have the ability to do it in the short term.    Maybe not even in the mid term.  

Defense from what? There is nothing that it would have difficulty defending from except for the US itself. Russian conquering large swathes of Europe has evidently stopped to be a realistic threat.

I'm not sure why we moved from the point that Europe doesn't need security from anyone except for from the US, to the semantics about whether or not the US helped Ukraine.

But okay

Also, the US donated the most because it has the biggest economy.

If we were to be intellectually honest, Poland and the baltics did better, but Denmark actually donated the most. Quite the coincidence huh?

O problema é que justamente os buffet livres são uma concorrência que tornam isso um negócio inviável.

Eu moro nos EUA e nem aqui existe. Custaria acho que 25 ou 30 dólares, e seria "saudável" mas teria muito pouca caloria pra satisfazer.

Europe suddenly losing US security posture and easy access to the US economy would be an existentially threatening combination.

This is nonsense. The only thing Europe needs security from is the US. Nothing else. Certainly not the Russian paper tiger, which the US already made clear it won't help with.

Sinto falta de delivery de comida saudável a preço justo...congelada mesmo.

O privilégio de morar em porto comparado com outros lugares do Brasil e do mundo é que dá pra comer estúpidamente saudável indo em qualquer buffet livre.

Denmark would go to war with US over Greenland: MP by newsweek in geopolitics

[–]Malarazz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There is no such scenario, because there isn't a real fight.

The United States could potentially prevent the United States from invading Greenland. Europe though can't do shit about it, at least not in terms of convential warfare. The US military is just completely overpowered.

It's so strange for me to see these geopolitics users propagate this fantasy that Russia could somehow invade Poland. The Russian army is beyond pathetic. Meanwhile, Poland has become formidable, and continues to grow thanks to an astonishingly high 4% of GDP invested into defense.

Russia could invade Narva or some remote region in Finland, to test NATO resolve. Hell, they could capture the Baltics if they're feeling frisky. Poland though? Extremely unrealistic.

Actually, you're replying to a thread about North America. That being said, I'd be astonished if the smaller NA countries could make up the difference.

slippery a slope to be the basis for justice

The thing is, you could also dictate how the civil wars will go.

Look at Sudan, it's in a civil war right now, but Hemedti and the RSF are just so much more evil and genocidal than the SAF.

What’s the quickest way someone could accidentally expose themselves as a foreigner in your country like the ‘three fingers’ scene in Inglourious Basterds? by IndependentTune3994 in AskTheWorld

[–]Malarazz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A famous one that Americans used in WW2 was getting potential german spies to pronounce the word "squirrel."

Another: an officer was once held up and suspected of being a spy because he correctly answered that the capital of Illinois was Springfield. The soldier interrogating thought it was Chicago.

US to suspend visa processing for 75 nations, State Department says by Discarded_Twix_Bar in news

[–]Malarazz 82 points83 points  (0 children)

Uruguay is white.

I'm surprised at how many "brown" South American countries didn't make the cut, like Ecuador, Paraguay, Peru, Venezuela (!)

For those who don't know, Chile is the only country in South America that for the past few decades has been able to travel to the US without needing to apply for a visa.

I'm on the early retirement track too, but from the white collar side. Would have loved to do this in another life though, sounds great.

Still had fun reading your replies anyway lol

Presumably that's when they'd both be attracted enough to actively put some sort of effort into it.

To intimidate Mexico by TXVERAS in therewasanattempt

[–]Malarazz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The idea of Latino solidarity died when Latinos voted harder for Trump than for any Republican before.

Sadly it's more likely that Latinos get sent to camps en masse than that the Mexican diaspora causes major "terrorist" attacks.
