Yeah, I know nothing about Romanian politics, but:
It noted that the country’s constitutional court had already banned her from standing last November for making declarations “contrary to democratic values”.
Seems like it could be used against anyone, for any reason, in the future. Sure, I think I agree with today’s results, but tomorrow?
I’m laughing at all these posts bagging on online education. Likely from the same people who think WFH is obviously superior to RTO. Some of the same issues apply here people.
no socialisation
Between missing in-person schooling and social media, we have an entire generation that are, socially speaking, idiots. I see posts on here everyday that remind me of that.
Right here! Best I can do is shoot them through the door when they come for me. Exactly what else can I do?
And be damned glad so many of us are armed or the fascists would be cutting through us like butter. Their next steps will soon be limiting or taking guns from the left and minorities. This proposal is part of that.
More pizza delivery drivers get shot than cops.
Pretty certain that stat is from America. Also, pretty certain my post was the opening to one of the most famous cyberpunk novels of all time.
Heinlein experimented with loads of governmental and social structures, Starship Troopers was one such experiment.
Trust me, STFU and stay strong. My wife watches stupid crime shows every night, and every night it’s a bunch of white trash happily talking their dumbasses off to the cops. Makes me want to scream.
LOL, I got over that early. Dropped a cousin on her baby head as a child.
Getting a catheter with a broken femur was that situation for me. Scared of that since I saw my poodle with one as a child.
I’d like to try you out on the swamp down the street. You can see the bottom almost everywhere, it’s that clear. But there’s at least one gator in it and certainly cotton mouths along the shoreline.
(Given their typical territory, probably only 1, maybe 2, gators. They’re shy as hell in any case, have barely glimpsed it.)
At least you’d get a long look at the elephants before you splatted on the turtle.

This is America. People do whatever the f*** they feel like doing, you got a problem with that? Because they have a right to. And because they have guns and no one can f***ing stop them. As a result, this country has one of the worst economies in the world. When it gets down to it–we’re talking trade balances here–once we’ve brain-drained all our technology into other countries, once things have evened out, they’re making cars in Bolivia and microwaves in Tadzhikistan and selling them here–once our edge in natural resources has been made irrelevant by giant Hong Kong ships and dirigibles that can ship North Dakota all the way to New Zealand for a nickel–once the Invisible Hand has taken all those historical inequities and smeared them out into a broad global layer of what a Pakistani bricklayer would consider to be prosperity–y’know what? There’s only four things we do better than anyone else:
music
movies
microcode (software)
high-speed pizza delivery
A judicial sentence might read that one is to be hung until “dead, dead, dead”. That’s all I got.
You’re touching on where “dad stength” and, uh, R-word strength comes from. Our brains limit us from tearing ourselves to pieces.
Our old guy brains still think we’re 25 and act accordingly, and we fuck ourselves up. People with Down’s don’t have the limiter, so they appear to be super strong.
Paul Harrell (RIP) for guns. His presentation style was a masterclass on how to convey information in a unbiased manner. Anyone who teaches anything to anyone should take notes.
He was entertaining without trying to be entertaining. If that makes sense? The man was demonstrating and testing hypotheses without giving two shits about likes and subscribes. Loved his dry humor, sometimes caught me off guard. “Wait! Did he really just say that?!”
Nailed it. If Heinlein loved fascism because he wrote Starship Troopers, how the hell does one explain Stranger in a Strange Land?!
Maybe he was simply a fascist, tree-hugger, authoritarian, free love, socialist, commie, right-wing, left-wing nutcase? I grok a wrongness.
Nazi car has Nazi reputation
I’m happy to hear that the free world denounces Nazis and Nazi products
Not seeing the issue with that post.
Stumbled into a little water moccasin hissing at me like this the other day.
“Bro. You’re twitching your tail and hissing. Not buying the upside-down head thing.”
