Bringing peace to the middle east by getting stoned out of my mind in the desert listening to EDM

Any Trump wins on foreign policy come from him being incompetent. Openly starting a trade war with China to snap them out of their liberal funk is one of the greatest self owns of the empire.

There is no good option here, Smer might be the most anti-imperial party in central europe but they are still very socially conservative and as useless as any establishment SocDem party. I’m not saying the Progressives are any good either as they’ll try and hand over the reigns to the EU who totally won’t see them as another eastern european country to reap profits from but they are nominally pro-LGBT and not anti-roma.

The pro-EU/pro-Russia debate overshadows how awful all those options are, 3 former failed PMs in the running. The EU liberal leading the Progressive is probably the least terrible option although he’d probably be the one most for handing over power to the EU entirely.

One line of police dialogue referring to the game’s Scavengers faction has been altered from the English “Couldn’t all these assholes bite it out in the Badlands?” to a Ukrainian phrase that translates as “Couldn’t all this rusnia bite it out in the Badlands?” As Tarasov explains, “‘rusnia’ is a Ukrainian derogatory term for russians. Scavengers are the stereotypical Eastern European gang in the game’s universe.”

Adding new slurs to own the russians

She just died? Wow.

One thing that really helped me overcome that complete lack of a stress response and learn how to study after avoiding it until college was putting myself into the right environments for certain things. I had no issues actually getting stuff done in class but at home there’s no external motivator to getting stuff done, I learnt i’d have to force myself to walk to the library every week at the same time to get any studying done.

Works for a lot of facets of life, if I want to workout I know I have to drag myself to the gym every week because i’m not going to workout regularly at home, if I want to watch a movie i’ll go see it at the cinema because i’ll pause it every 15 minutes if I watch it on TV.

He’s trying to straddle the line of looking like a general without actually stealing valor in a uniform which just ends up in him wearing nazi merch shirts and $600 JJJJound New Balances. Traoré however aces it with the beret and neck gaiter

It’s a shame the first guy since bringing military drip back into the world leader repertoire is a guy who has no actual military experience larping as a military leader

Demand for weight-loss drugs Ozempic/Wegovy is so large that the government of Denmark (where drugmaker Novo Nordisk is from) now has to publish GDP data excluding it Since the first half of 2022 (left), headline GDP growth has been 1.7% (blue), but ex-Pharma it’s -0.3% (green)

Reminded me of folks in the news megathread talking about Denmark juicing their GDP a while ago. Pretty funny that it’s inflated the figures by so much now that separate GDP figures have to be published to show that the economy sans-Novo Nordisk is still contracting.
