Betwixed and between
agree. but Hungary is in the EU, notionally at least. So this is a little like saying Hungarian’s are trying to influence the vote, of course they are. If I was a Polish I’d be invested in the Hungarian election outcome as it can impact my life.
polymarket, here we come!
yes, and then i forget the encryption password as i don’t use the laptops that much these days and now have it written on the lid
kidding :) or am I :(
ffs
“My name is Claude, King of Kings: Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!”
they’ll come eventually
The first wave where the tech bros were you can leverage $ off them. Car manufacturers themselves said they were initially going after the high margin paying customer. You cant sell a new car here in Aus without all sorts of passive monitoring stuff,so that’s an issue for a simple car.
now you’re at the family level, mid size SUVs are prevailing here in Australian the BYD Atto 2 and similar models from Geely and KIA etc. Telsas are still unfortunately popular and we only get the 3 and the Y
most people want connected cars, my gf loves preheating our BYD when she heads off on an early morning start before she hops in, seats and cabin have been prewarmed etc. she likes the 360 birdseye cameras and I must admit they are very good.
When it’s at a public charger you can monitor it while you’re away so you don’t get hit with idle fees etc albeit 90% of our changing is at home off solar panels. The biggest complaint from Cupra and VW EV owners in Australia is the lack of connected services though there is possibly a bunch of folks who bought them for that reason who aren’t complaining.
lot more assholes than you hoped there’d be in this world.
I know people who felt that both sides at least tacitly supporting the genocide was so depressing that for their mental health they basically checked out of politics.
to do that in a democracy is beyond shameful.
You don’t have to be invested at the grass roots or debating magats but you can still turn up at a polling station on election day, or do a fucking postal vote
Notice how almost none of the majour dems have really condemned the war in Iran, even though it would have been massively electorally advantageous for them?
in the recent election for MJTs seat, the D candidate lost. One of the reasons given for WHY was because he actively opposed the war, the winning R was all Fir the war.
looking at that, when offered a chance voters sided with the pro war ideologue. They don’t have to vote D next time but they could have this time.
Fundamentally a politician wants to win. As a voter, I get people being despondent when there’s no real choice but here voters had a choice. Democrat politicians would be stupid not to pay attention.
this literally reads like the Martin Niemöller poem
comment Africa comment in articles in the WSJ saying the US has only “fair weather allies” and it’s good they show how useless they are now so the US can discard them.
exactly 0 self awareness.
no, the adults killing people
perhaps the library, the philosophy section ? The 100 section is a place to start.
I’m in the “everything has been thought of and it’s all been written about” camp and a little less mind dump and a little more contemplative reading would be a good thing for most of us.
i am aware of the irony of suggesting the dewy decimal system as a “thought”
I’d say the kid was paying attention to what’s happening around the world.
I’m wary of happy people, they’re either not paying attention to the world, or they don’t care. Being content is ok if you’re not being bombed, have food to eat, bed to sleep in etc but happy means you’re possibly a narcissist.
what ? as a bike rider it happens to me quite often, the passenger hanging out the window yelling “get a car ya cheap cunt!” another time, fallen behind my gf for a bit, some dude hangs out the window and slaps her ass as they pass
Am Australian though.
i’ve run Mint and morr lately LMDE for nearly 3 years and not had that problem, AMD only.
we have a TV in the living room, it only goes on once or twice a week, has a n Nvida box connected. I’m retired, so there’s not enough time to watch much TV.
The US reelecting Trump.
