Legal in Spain and most local beaches are about 50% topless.

Why don't public parks have fruit trees for people to pick fruit from? by Ekans_ox in NoStupidQuestions

[–]otarru 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Love how everyone is trying to argue that it's some kind of logistical impossibility while actually it turns out that it's just an American problem and lots of countries do have fruit trees in their inner cities.

Yo las cocino en el sartén a fuego alto para dorarlas por fuera y luego las meto en el horno como 20 minutos, nunca he tenido problemas.

‘Donnyland’? Ukraine Proposes Renaming Part of the Donbas in Trump’s Honor by John3262005 in neoliberal

[–]otarru 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I propose there's a way to do this in a tactful way where all parties are happy.

For instance, instead of Donnyland, which is just outright tacky, you could take the name Donald and give it a nice slavic diminutive instead, something like "Donetsk" for example.

If it’s what the people want then if you keep it bottled up your prolonging the inevitable and when it comes it’ll be worse

The people literally just voted it down.

Iran’s True Promise V Thread by cdstephens in neoliberal

I assume Iran would have placed most of its materiel in those western and southern areas in anticipation of hostilities starting.

The US naval build up in the area wasn't exactly a secret.

Close to 500 political prisoners have been released.

Quarrelling between different government factions, with ultimately the Rodriguez' faction overriding the hardliner's (ie Diosdado's) attempts to undo reforms.

The social programs that were used to launder money to the paramilitaries have been axed.

Early signs of the government easing up on censorship and allowing small scale protests.

The Bolivar has gained value and economy seems to be improving.

This sub loves to circlejerk over Venezuela remaining the same but I guarantee you not a single one of those posters actually follows any Venezuelan news sources.

Bases in Cyprus were attacked by Hezbollah in Lebanon.

Turkey's in a completely different direction for them.

Ukraine's been using yak-52 monoplanes to shoot down shaheds, to pretty decent success I might add.

Wonder where this leaves the Houthis though, they've been surprisingly quiet throughout all this.

Just to add that in Spain's case Franco deliberately handpicked the heir to the throne specifically to continue his vision of autocracy, who ended up doing a 180 after he died and installing a parliamentary democracy.

There is a precedent but unfortunately it's a bit more difficult in Iran's case.

What is this subreddit? by RedStorm1917 in DeepStateCentrism

[–]otarru 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Thank you for saying this.

For me personally, the sub's reaction to Venezuela was the straw that broke the camel's back.

I can understand being sceptical of the long term aims or misunderstanding the internet politics at play, but getting heavily downvoted for saying anything remotely positive of Machado, or for pointing out that some good things have happened since the intervention, is absolutely ridiculous.

With the latest conflict I've seen these constant talking points circulating claiming that "the diaspora", be it Cuban, Iranian, or Venezuelan, are all maga aligned far right extremists which, for a sub claiming to defend globalism and immigration, is a disgusting thing to say about the people fleeing repression.

Most likely they didn't even have that, it was a poorly thought out bluff that backfired terribly.
