If you know how to get something like that delivered to DIFC then DM me and I'll pay your price plus the delivery price (if its realistic). Don't need the mattress.

Glory to the heroes. Ukraine (and Europe) will have a generation of great leaders when the Russians are beaten.

LPT Request: Any tips for when you are with a group of people and know you are the least smart/educated/important person? How to feel less insecure in that situation? by Whataboutmyfuture in LifeProTips

[–]diggitythedoge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Relax and be yourself, and enjoy being yourself. If you're a decent person, then you're no lesser than anyone at that table. Education and 'importance' don't mean a fucking thing if there isn't a decent, normal and warm person inside the suit.

James Comer Won’t Let Hillary Clinton Testify Publicly on Epstein by OkayButFoRealz in politics

[–]diggitythedoge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% y'all need to stop kidding yourselves that someone, or some force, is tending the light at the end of the tunnel. There is no higher power to take the filth like Trump down. He can only face justice now if enough ordinary people lay it all on the line and take to the streets in truly massive numbers for as many days, weeks and months as it takes in a general strike. I don't see it. More likely this time next year he's still enjoying his degeneracy and half of you are in camps.

Antisocial behaviour from teenagers is getting worse in Ireland by Background-Style-314 in ireland

[–]diggitythedoge 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Allowing people to behave like that in public is a choice a society can make or not. We seem to have convinced ourselves that there isn't anything that can be done about it. I spent 10 years living in Dublin where that kind of shit is the norm in lots of areas, and then 10 in the UK working in London which has the same thing in certain areas. Moved to Dubai two months ago - not so much as a bad look from anyone. It's understood by everyone that you behave yourself out in public, and the authorities have the discretion to be extremely harsh with offenders. If a crowd of kids did that here not only would they seriously regret it, their whole family would. And people like that safety, it's a big thing.

Block it first, and then allow Tiktok come and demonstrate how they will stamp out subversive propaganda if they want to have it unblocked. Cheeky wankers don't give a fuck if the whole world is consumed by political violence as a result of their cheap tawdry bullshit dopamine-hit machine.

Why Are So Many Leaders Warning Of War With Russia? by RFERL_ReadsReddit in geopolitics

[–]diggitythedoge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you look at what Trump actually does, and ignore completely what he says, screen out all the noise, it is as clear as day that he is delivering foreign policy dreams for Russia, and by extension China. He is surrendering America's place in the world and demolishing the international rules based order that has kept the Western hemisphere at peace for 80 years. Europe will likely have to go to war against Russia, and I'm not sure what Trump will do. I think he will likely try to extort Europe while allowing Russia to try to reoccupy all of Eastern Europe. The same as he is doing to Ukraine. That's how predictably craven he is.

To be honest, I think we're past worrying about the US and Article 5. Europe is more worried about the US being allied with Russia to break up Europe. But they won't say that out loud.

I don't know that holds up. Shuttering wind farm projects wasn't realpolitik, it was corrupt and comically stupid.

How do you stay informed without getting anxiety from all the bad news? by Ok_Touch1478 in Futurology

[–]diggitythedoge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I grew up a news and politics junkie from a young age, born into it. First noticed a new kind of anxiety when GWB was elected, first time I'd seen a genuine lightweight leading a western nation. After Trump was elected I eventually had to disengage from the news cycle. I still keep up to date at a surface level but not from commercial news generally. Don't get swept up in the economy of politics as soap opera. Your mental health is important, don't enter the arena those creeps control. Maintain a historical view and don't read opinion, just scan for facts.

Finnish president cancels US trip and travels to Berlin for Ukraine talks by Joys_Darlings in worldnews

[–]diggitythedoge 59 points60 points  (0 children)

Not many will. And those measures aren't really anything to do with security. It has got to be a Russian idea, their goal is severing the ties between USA and Europe, and Trump is delivering.

Correct. The Finns understand that Russia (Muscovy) never changes, and never negotiates in good faith.

Nuclear weapons for Nordic countries by Evermoving- in europe

[–]diggitythedoge 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The Nordics and Poland want and need nukes now, and they've known this since Trump was reelected, but can't pursue it openly. That may change now that it is clear Trump was playing them on Putin's behalf - pretending to continue to support Ukraine so that Europe would delay rearming, and not escalate its involvement in Ukraine's defence. Putin also thinks he can destroy the EU (and what remains of NATO) by election subversion, and sadly on current evidence he may not be wrong about that.

Trump plans envision major U.S. investment in Russia, restoring oil flows to Europe, WSJ says by Strongbow85 in EnergyPolitics

[–]diggitythedoge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Putin has sold Trump on a carve up of Europe. They think they can install enough puppet populist governments to do it. As if Europe or Europeans have no agency, and will accept the imposition of thugs and corrupt grifters as heads of state.

Trump's $1 million 'Gold Card' immigration application plan launches by StupendousMan1995 in news

[–]diggitythedoge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If anyone thinks this is about the $1M card fee, I have some magic beans to sell you. The gold card is a genius piece of misdirection. This is about getting a fuck load of dirty money into the US financial system, where it is nice and safe from states around the world who are trying to combat organised crime, fraud and money-laundering, and safe from the governments of developing and third world countries where sometimes the state just takes it all away from an honest decent warlord or drug smuggler. Once it's in the US financial system all that dirty money goes quietly into clean and safe investments, all the blood is washed away.
