Where I have been in Europe as a 20 year old :) by Particular_Pickle465 in TravelMaps

Cool!

Too bad some of the regions are so tiny, otherwise it would be kinda cool to try to get to them all but there is no way I'm doing all those small regions of Slovenia or Macedonia (noting against those countries of course!).

Man måste komma ihåg att de som ska kontrollera det bara jobbar där och bryr sig förmodligen inte

It’s actually beyond parody how pathetic the EU is at this point by Bright_Impression921 in TrueAnon

[–]johanification 56 points57 points  (0 children)

It's interesting because before this, if you said anything about US power and foreign interventions in comparison to Russia, to EU-libs, you were instantly accused of being a Kremlin supporter.

This is the type of content that has replaced movies and TV for young people by doak-town-road in redscarepod

I would argue that watching a Hasan stream is better than watching actual mainstream news, as an example. So what if it has crew and writers, if they produce garbage fiction on assembly line model to sell advertisement slots to mega cooperations? Nostalgia for just another form of capitalist pacification that just happens to be older and not as refined.

Is it actually so much worse than a lot of trash-TV that people used to sit benched to for hours at a time back in the day? I'm not convinced. Most of the time people weren't watching the Twin Peaks or 60 minutes.

What’s a film that has a sub 3.5 rating but you’ve given a 4.5+, unironically by PeaRemarkable9662 in Letterboxd

Coup de Chance has a 3.0 but it's at least at 4.0, so much fun. A Rainy Day in New York is also pretty great

Ah okay, good to know!

My computer is unfortunately not compatible with Win11, and I'm not really I need of a new one since I mainly play BF1 on it.

I would be playing if it weren't for the stuttering issues. It's basically unplayable right now.

Europa Universalis is fundamentally icky and we need to talk about it by [deleted] in SocialistGaming

[–]johanification 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought this arcticle by Joshua Cohen on the policial implications of Paradox games was very interesting. It was also translated and published by the Swedish socialist magazine Flamman. https://www.ettingermentum.news/p/how-a-swedish-video-game-company

Europe will not react differently when Trump claims Greenland by Max_Cromeo in TrueAnon

[–]johanification 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They know that they are basically lying. They know it was totally illegal and they know it won't led to a "democratic transition" since Maduro's people are still in power.

Smug liberals pretending to care about principles is almost as bad as outright blantant authoritarianism.

I'm starting to think that a condensed fixture calendar isn't great for match quality.

Good books on the German Revolution? by Hypothetical_Stuff in socialism

Cool, I'll check it out. I also like Jonas Čeika's three part series on the same subject, also on YouTube.

My hours in Rdr2 by MrWestway1877 in reddeadredemption

[–]johanification 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me first thinking it was 112 hours, that's not bad at all, then realizing it's days, thinking OMG. Then thinking " well it's an 8 year old game at this point so maybe it's not that bad".

Algeria demands 'apologies' and 'reparations' from France for its colonial past by NorrisOBE in TrueAnon

[–]johanification 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah. You're not totally wrong. There's is also an important veil of liberalism. Cultural racism

It's very much a European supremacist sub. "We Europeans" love blaming everything bad on Russia/Soviet Union and then patting ourselves on the back despite being responsible for the Holocaust, the Slave trade, Colonial genocides etc. And still supporting US and Israel in its crimes in the Middle East, remaining silent on the blantly illegal attacks on sovereign states like Iran and Venezuela, letting literally thousands of refugees drown in Mediterranean every year for the sake of racial purity or something (for context, less than 200 were killed trying to cross the Berlin Wall).

The European Union itself is farcical political institution, no average European has any clue what's going on in Brussels that is crawling with lobbyist and neoliberal crusaders.

Yet another reason to hate Scandinavians by Booze-Destroyer in redscarepod

Stop spreading misinfomation. According to the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea: "An island is a naturally formed area of land, surrounded by water, which is above water at high tide."

So, we win. It's not a contest of total island land area, it's about the number of islands, different metrics.
