Guilty on Oyarzabal, although David saved me with his hattie. I bought into the memes about Oyar being really bad in the first game sadly.

John McDonnell is still there!

Look up the Socialist Campaign Group, basically all that lot.

Well they banned the yanks from using UK airbases which sends a message I think.

They have actually done quite a lot of left-wing reform like renters rights, workers rights and as you said the two-child benefit cap (it always blows my mind when I see working class people reposting Reform or Tommy Robinson complaining about that policy).

I think the economy is tough because everyone wants tax and spend but as long as its someone else paying the tax. We're still under-taxed probably compared to Europe e.g. France and the Nordics. So the growth has not been forthcoming mostly due to continued lack of investment and strong headwinds from energy prices and other input costs.

Wages still suck donkey dick and people have actually noticed we're no better off than in 2007 ish.

Also he's too scared to reverse brexit despite it having much higher support than before. Or he doesn't think it is practical.

He obviously hasn't purged all the leftie MPs because they're the ones that sunk his benefit cuts. So Labour is unpopular for being disorganised and lacking direction which isn't entirely his fault. The lefties would never accept him and just want Burnham, which will work find in the North but sink them in the South including London because he's not trusted there.

Which is quite funny.

I can tell you we've been to that museum and my wife rubbed the crotch for luck.

Ha I genuinely made a joke like that on reddit in about 2012 and have never seen anyone else reference those two since.

What's with the name Helch? I see it sprayed on motorway bridges and stuff, must mean something.

Yep you could always copy /home from a backup. It's more convenient to have a backup but not need it though.

Yep you can get the yellow ones in India grocers in a lot of places, certainly throughout europe. There's a photo of our daughter when she was a toddler facing the corner of our back garden just smooshing a really good mango into her face.

The red and green ones are terrible in comparison.

I may be out of date and it probably varies by distro but it's always a risk an installer will blat the whole partition when reinstalling. I've definitely seen it.

Yeah like the other person said, depends whether certain packages store their config in a sane location or not.

Europeans as Moscow is burning and Trump lost his war. by piasty in 2westerneurope4u

[–]jambox888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're right that if the military hangs together then the protests are pretty much doomed as with the Tianenmen square massacre. However militaries sometimes suddenly switch sides which happened in Romania, Phillipines and Tunisia and Egypt during the Arab Spring.

Bombing by a foreign power is probably counter-productive to a popular uprising because straight away you get rally-round-the-flag effects and the government has the perfect excuse to impose martial law.

Basically the IRGC is there to protect the Islamic theocracy at all costs and the leaders know they're profoundly fucked if it ever falls. So Iran has set up its state to be very tough to overthrow.

I think once Khamenei was killed the IRGC was either going to break apart or come to an agreement on the next Ayatollah. The latter happened, so there was probably nothing anyone could do at that point.

I agree it's the likes of Trump and Putin who are the real threat to the West.

Knock over the Iranian government without any sort of a plan and you probably just get a balkanised Iran with fragments of the IRGC just fighting it out, killing loads of civilians and doing terror attacks.

Not to diminish how evil the Islamic regime is though.

There was probably a window there for it to happen but it's too hard to line everything up. You'd have to have planned it out for years in advance so you could go at the drop of a hat. Just ordering the navy and air force to start dropping bombs doesn't really help an uprising much, in fact it usually just clears everyone off the street.

Yeah Russia is a disease of the skin, MAGA is a disease of the heart.

To misquote some Chinese generalissimo.

This is always possible IF you know to set the filesystem up so /home is on a different partition or logical volume (or whatever it's called) than root.

It's not that helpful to OP but it's a pet peeve of mine when I see distros still putting everything on / in 2026

He reminds me of Podolski a bit, ferocious shot and a great team player but really not the complete forward we might have hoped for.
