4·20 hours agoEngage with communities here. The politics and tech communities are lively enough, but niche communities are lacking. Give people a reason to come here who aren’t politics/tech junkies.

Rubio is a cretin. I hope Europe’s help is enough to let Ukraine end the war on Ukraine’s terms.
May they grow sunflowers in Russia’s own land.
Decimals are the devil’s work.
I’m not sure it works on me. Not because I’m some super human resistant to advertising (I’m not) but because I’m so bad at math that when they start asking me about anything involving small change I tune out and overestimate by 50% rounded into nice whole numbers.
“This is 19.99”
“Okay so it’s basically 30$.”
It gives me nice surprises sometimes when I get my receipt.
Well, certainly not thrilled about the prospect of Merz, then. Hopefully this position ends up shared amongst the other candidates, though.
He also said the other day he’d do deals with Trump. Whatever those are supposed to be.
tbf, everyone is saying that, in part because “One of the biggest nations in the world just elected a moron we can’t work with” is considered undiplomatic, whereas “we’ll do deals” gives the illusion of hope and an out if Trump demands something ridiculous (as he inevitably will).
Is Merz really Trump-level bad? I know only the basics of German politics (what each party roughly is)
Hell, I’m in support of Merz selling his own mother if it means more support for Ukraine.
… I may be in a dark place right now.
“Look here dipshit, you already lost the US to Russian influence, the least you could do is let the leash off Ukraine.”
Don’t put any faith in that. Trump lies as reliably as he breathes. Which is, on both counts, unfortunately far more than it should be.

It’s a neat photo of the 70s, and it may not even be that any of the participants in the photo meant it in anything but a joking way, but I definitely get why, in context, some may find it… uncomfortable.
Of course. I’ve donated before. It’s just that the US government was a very powerful ally with vast resources which can no longer be relied upon, and it’s… on us, Americans, that it is no longer so.
Thank you, Europe. Please, help Ukraine where we failed to.
