Yea, industrialization improved things in like every country that did it but saying the USSR was not imperialist is wild to me. Resources from the annexed territories were being shipped to Russia on a regular basis, literally one of the reasons that made the Holodomor so deadly in Ukraine while Russia itself was mostly spared. Smuggling was insanely common here in the Baltics to ensure the locals could keep what they make and not suffer from famines as well.
Sony already stopped selling their games in my country due to them not wanting to put Estonia in the PSN country selection list but I guess I’ll pirate their games even harder or something.
Sims 3 seems more limited by it’s own engine than the hardware. Like I can’t get it into a playable state with a Ryzen 5800X3D and a 7800XT while using all the recommended performance tweaks and mods. It still has massive stutters and freezes while according to the FPS counter running at a stable 144 FPS, it like stops for a solid 5 seconds with no FPS drop. I love the systems in Sims 3 but at least Sims 4 is playable.
I’m not so sure it would. Like, yea, the US has enough military to take on like the other top 5 militaries in the world and win but NATO doesn’t really need that. It’s mostly about defence and the only country currently invading countries in Europe is Russia which can’t seem to beat Ukraine alone. The biggest issue if the US pulls out is supporting Ukraine but defensively NATO is fine without the US I think.
Not really, NATO as an organizational is made of of the military and equipment of all members. Also NATO and US bases are different, if the US pulls out it’s not taking NATO bases with it. Also I’m pretty sure the US doesn’t use NATO bases for its military operations but their own bases but I’m too lazy to look that up. Also also NATO countries defence strategy has been more like “If you attack one member you attack everyone” so no one really has.
Jaywalking is another thing I first heard of like a month or so ago that sounds both ridiculous as a law and as a word.
Don’t the US have a range that your speed can be in? Like here you can be a bit over that’s within the margin of error of your speedometer (Can’t remember how much exactly since I haven’t driven a car in like 2 decades)
After seeing the photoshoot Trump got from this I hope Europe can pull our collective shit together once Trump pulls the US out of NATO and stops helping Ukraine.
