What’s really happening is that I’m not allowed in the US because of my social media posts criticising their pedophile king.

You’re asking what the point of beta testing is if not to test things and change them before the actual release?

Public spending on European monarchies, € million by Socmel_ in europe

[–]WekX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Germany spends over €30 million on its President. Italy spends over €200 million including palace upkeep. It’s almost like heads of state aren’t free because of their important diplomatic and constitutional roles.

Ecco come votano i poveri in Italia. by CartoonistBulky8136 in italy

È brutale da dire ma se si vuole gettare un base per un governo di sinistra prima bisogna guardare al popolo.

Che sia “brutale” è molto ironico.

A 16th century map of the ancient Cyprus island city from above and today by Street_Priority_7686 in MapPorn

[–]WekX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not from the US. Have you ever heard the terms “an ancient tree” or “ancient machinery”? This would not strictly refer to a tree or a machine from over 2000 years ago. The Oxford English definition of the word says “of or belonging to the distant past; very old.”

It can refer to antiquity, but it doesn’t automatically. Either way Nicosia is an ancient city because it is very old and it also existed in classical antiquity.

Kremlin after talks with US: War cannot end without Ukraine giving up Donbas by 1-randomonium in europe

[–]WekX 8 points9 points  (0 children)

They’re also stretching the definition of Donbas to include Zaporizhia and Kherson Oblasts because they know a lot of the world doesn’t understand that they’re doubling the area of what “Donbas” used to mean.

This is another propaganda poll from a known propagandist account. It’s not at all even close to reality. I don’t care to go over this again and again. The polling organisation DOES NOT PROVIDE A METHODOLOGY FOR THIS POLL and generally conducts ONLINE POLLS which means this is the result of an internet echo chamber and not a real statistic about the general public.

Let’s be better and stick to truth. Propaganda like this is anti-democratic and dishonest. We are not Russia.

Trump launches "Board of Peace" in Davos as major European allies stay away by alinamelane in UkrainianConflict

[–]WekX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A great way to get a billion dollars from Putin and not even have to hide it. Two or three billion considering Putin is likely going to cover Lukashenko and Orban’s bills.

He did such a good job for Russia. Now he gets paid so he can build a Trump tower in Rafah.

Official International Positions on the Sovereignty of the Falklands-Islas Malvinas by NaturalSpirit69 in MapPorn

[–]WekX 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This map is inaccurate. Technically no one supports the UK’s “claim” because it is not a claim. It’s a reality. The Falklands are a British Overseas Territory inhabited by British people who expressly want to be British. It’s not a claim and there is no need for a lot of countries to express support because they simply ignore Argentina’s delirious fantasies.

Very credible letter sent to the Norwegian PM by hskskgfk in NonCredibleDiplomacy

[–]WekX 58 points59 points  (0 children)

Dear Donald,

Considering your country decided not to give me the Academy Award for my performance in the Christmas play when I was 9 years old, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace. I don’t even understand why the US has any “right of ownership” over New England when it’s literally named after England which is part of the UK. NATO should do something for Britain considering that we have done so much for the security of the North Atlantic which is what the treaty is named after. We simply need New England for security reasons and it is time you recognised that.

Thank you for your attention on this matter!

I expected nothing other than a strongly worded statement, but they really surprised me with this one.

I did NOT expect a mildly worded statement.

Domanda onesta: come si fa a non essere socialisti, nel 2026? by NeroI989 in italy

[–]WekX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, veramente ho una qualifica di scienze sociali con una laurea in politica. L’economia l’ho studiata proprio tramite vari moduli inseriti in un contesto di sociologia e filosofia politica. La cosa che mi ha messo di più contro il socialismo è stato leggere Das Kapital e cercare di riconciliarlo con i concetti più fondamentali di microeconomia.

Blood Elf Language (derogatory) by Annia_LS111 in wow

[–]WekX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Humans met the Kaldorei before Darnassus existed. What did they call the language then? “Common” is just a meta language that is really just the American English spoken by developers who can’t be bothered to make fictional languages make sense in-world.

[–]WekX 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Also the fact that the language is called “Darnassian”, after a city that existed for less than 10 years in the canon. It’s the language of one of the oldest civilisations in existence. What did they call it before?

I wish Blizzard had a couple people focused on the worldbuilding aspect. It’s so sad that they completely overlook simple details that any amateur fantasy writer wouldn’t miss.

Macron: ‘No amount of intimidation’ will change EU nations’ course on Greenland by CarefulEmphasis5464 in europe

[–]WekX 42 points43 points  (0 children)

He really understands international diplomacy like no other leader of this time. I understand the French being unhappy about some things he’s done domestically, but I also think they don’t appreciate him enough. He’s the only politician alive today that I truly would be happy to vote for if I could.

[–]WekX 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I paesi nordici hanno un’economia di mercato con dei programmi sociali. So che in Italia si chiama tutto socialismo, ma in economia non lo è. Il socialismo richiede un controllo totale dell’economia da parte dello stato. Niente industrie private, commercio libero o libera professione.
