So, I’m not usian, but isn’t it better for the long term to show Dems that you will vote a candidate for what their policies are instead of just because they aren’t the other guy, thus making them choose candidates that at least pretend to listen to what the people want?

Voting for “not-Trump” just enables them and allows them to keep moving to the right, as long as the other guy is worse, like it’s being happening the last 20+ years. “You need to vote for the eating-babies candidate! The other one is advocating for eating babies AND puppies!”.

Trump: 👍

Anyway for mine the potato PC was low 5 digits (one was 15,000) of my currency

This is meaningless. 15000 pesetas are 90 euros, but in Spain the actual cost would have been the same before and after the Euro (if prices had been converted 1:1, of course) independently of it being 5 or 2 digits.

As a other European,

Being crass, our “leaders” aren’t super-overtly sucking off Trump because right now it’s not good PR. Von der Leyen is barely wiping the orange off her face as it is. Just wait until this simmers down just a little bit and they’ll be deepthroating him again.

“am I so about of touch? No, it’s the Russians who are wrong”

Yeah, it was the turning point of the war after all

they opted to stay out of it until it affected them …it goes against the narrative of the USA being a defendor of the world order and a moral authority.

Yup, 100%

Stalingrad was less about Russia, more about Hitlers hubris and general winter

I wouldn’t undervalue the Soviet peoples achievements and sacrifice. Winter affects everyone.

but the USA entering is what turned it around

The turnaround was the Soviet victory at Stalingrad

Yeah, it seems dumb having part of your population unable to communicate with another part of the population. Having a common language does not delete minority languages (although some measures to protect those minority langs, like making mandatory for any public servant to be able to communicate in them when working in their respective regions, should be put in place).

Edit: I skimmed the translation someone posted and I’m less favorable to this. Making education use the dominant language will erase the minority ones. Daily life should be in the minority language, and both should be taught in school.

I kind of don’t know what to do.

Rollback and go home

“See your honour, I’m just training my AI with all these books, comics, movies, music, general software and games. Totally permissible. Go fine Lars retroactively for keeping interfering with our training”.

5. I don’t want an automatic car! I love changing my gear!

This is me. I have a hybrid car and I miss the stick every time I drive it.

Long story short, Motion Twin gave the game to Evil Empire around 2019 (iirc) to handle its development, so they are the ones who made every update and expansion from the first dlc onwards.

After like 5 years of DC being developed by EE they released the “the end is near” update, but said that it was not the last update and that they were working on more stuff, including wrapping up the story.

Then Motion Twin announced a new game, and shortly after they cancelled any work in DC. The goodbye posts included some shutouts to the new game, so the cancellation of DC was seen as trying to kill any competition to their new game. One ex-dev said that MT were being a bunch of dicks to EE and claimed that the cancellation was indeed to give more attention to the new game.

Yup, just pirate it at this point. I’ll update that in the list.

Yeah, no prob

• Blasphemous 1 and 2
• STALKER
• Disco Elysium (awesome game, but the studio got into shady stuff and the game creators were booted. Just pirate it).
• Commandos
• Tzar
• Imperivm
• Tropico 3
• Noita
• Satisfactory
• My summer car/my winter car (I personally have not played them but they have good reviews)

Not very indie:

• Europa Universalis
• Crusader Kings
• Hearts of Iron
• the Witcher 1, 2, 3 (the 3rd one is the best)
• Cyberpunk 2077

Great game but Motion Twin are dicks.

I’ll keep them in mind, but I stopped using readarr because the sonarr/radarr approach didn’t work for me for books. I read individual books more than subscribe to everything an author does, and manually downloading them is not really a problem.

What problems did you have? I just put the services I wanted in a compose file, configured sonarr/radarr to use prowlarr and my torrent client and done.

Later I added lidarr and readarr but ended up removing the last one. I found it easy enough, and the modularity makes it easy to use only what you need.

But always voting for the lesser evil means that, as long as there’s a greater evil, the lesser one gets a free pass and does not really need to change nor fight anything the greater evil does. In fact, it’s in the lesser evils best interest to enable and nudge the greater evil into even greater evil, because it will let him do whatever and still be the lesser evil.
