People read headlines only, that’s a fact, just look around (like Lemmy in general). Simultaneously headlines fight for your attention because that’s the only chance to show you more ads. This is an incredibly toxic combination even if it looks okay on paper. People are kind of dumb but that’s more of a character flaw that we all share. We need to be a bit more aware of that because there’s no cure without a proper diagnosis.

This guy fucks.

Important detail you might miss. Conscription is not mobilisation. This conscription is biggest in some time but not that much. Euronews and other media know this is clickbait.

Putin did this to sow fear in Europe - he knows media will do everything for the clicks. Politicians who base all of their decisions on polling („centrists”) will act accordingly. This is how we are played.

It’s the N^eoliberalism word being at fault for all of this again.

The Russian way of freezing your own ears off just to piss off the libs.

It holds up pretty well too. I’ve been watching it for the past 2 years on an off and I’m on season 5. Sometimes it meanders but then you get slammed with 3 great episodes in succession. I don’t want to skip trash though because MASH is my before bed TV that can run in the background.

I don’t think it went under the radar of the TV studio because it ran for 11 years and got a Golden Globe for the best comedy series.

[edit] I took the bait, didn’t I? This thread is now about MASH. Well played.

SC2: Wings of Liberty was very good but they definitely overdid it with expansions and couldn’t work themselves out of that hole.

I’m not sure what do you mean by Microsoft quality lately. Just recently Black Ops 6, Hellblade 2 were received very well and Indiana Jones is a GOTY territory. Avowed was mixed but some of target audience seemed to like it a lot.

You don’t even need to go that far to see this technology in action. In the Eastern Europe we got microcomputers pretty late but that also meant our journey through the technological advancements from 1990 to 2010 started with a trickle of obsolete western stuff but then became a wild rollercoaster ride. At close to 40 I remember games being transmitted on the scout radio. You could also get games from magazines which simply printed source code.

I don’t need to be convinced that Le Pen tried to cheat in many different illegal ways. I honestly don’t see her being different to many mainstream politicians but I know the type and they are usually guilty of something. One thing to worry is that this ruling was law being applied selectively,

The other worry is that Le Pen family has been in the game since the 70s but their political movement got parliamentary representation only somewhat recently. In the meantime both Le Pens made it even to the presidential runoffs. That simmering anger is very authentic for them which is a very powerful political force.

I don’t think you can diffuse this situation by taking the opponent off the board, especially given that their voters will be even more pissed. To me doing this is like kicking can down the road. Those kicking the cans are personally prepared for what comes next by enriching themselves but as a regular guy I’m kind of worried.

Now the trickier question is, is Le Pen or National Front really far right? They just voted for enshrining right to abortion in French constitution, something many liberal Eastern European governments would be opposed to. If not then what is it that’s she’s being persecuted for? French are not that concerned with Putin and would probably stomach their own Berlusconi type. Those traditional divisions make less and less sense these days but we keep reverting to those old labels.

After what I wrote I would consider myself to be concern trolling so let me end this with wishing plagues upon Marine Le Pen for aligning herself with Putin.

As soon as we let them. So pretty soon probably.

That’s how Nintendo made money since Game Boy at least. That worked fine for them for over 30 years now. It’s the Gameboy people remember and not the Game Gear or Lynx despite technically being inferior.

It will not restore the confidence in those who voted in her so you’ve convinced people who are already convinced. Le Pen is a symptom and a new one will raise in her place until actual issues are resolved. See Romania and unknown candidate catapulted into spotlight in just a few months. They’re playing whack-a-mole now and that can’t go on indefinitely. And no, Russia is not the cause, they just exploit circumstances of our own making.

This is Foreign Affairs published so this piece was directed to European elites and having a peek at that discussion is worthy of posting. It’s also ridiculous to downvote unless you want to know less about your own reality.

Authors suggest that elites should prioritise nuclear nonproliferation as a strategy that benefits them the most (or trades the least amount of risk). Ukraines interests don’t necessarily align with this and it wasn’t supposed to be advice for Eastern Europeans.

Not sure where this idea that I endorse what I post comes from, you’d think I endorse earthquakes and technofeudalism.

That doesn’t really drive its current price though. It’s a fetish for some people who have a problem with current monetary systems in general.

I imagine fines repeat and increase if non-compliance continues. €150M is a baseline ;)

The most radical cuts proposed affect the CSDDD, notably trimming the definition of supply chains to include only direct suppliers. This change could fundamentally undermine the concept of corporate responsibility throughout supply chains. Additionally, the liability provisions are significantly weakened, and the Commission has proposed entirely removing a review clause designed to reassess the controversial exemption of the financial sector two years after the directive’s implementation. In essence, this omnibus aims at permanently shielding financial institutions from accountability for the environmental and human rights impacts of their investments.

Oh, something I deal with currently.

If a client deals with sanctioned entities or does anything matching suspicious activity scenario then that transaction will still be screened anyway regardless of what they self reported as their suppliers. If the client transacts with a restricted entity outside of the bank and we rely on self-reporting then that’s a redundant illusion of control.

The Killing and The Bridge are fairly well known and even remade for other markets.
