He’s just asking the European right to not make excuses.

How young are you?

It’s completely different, Trump wants cut the interest rates and put at least 10% tariffs on all imports. If he actually follows through the current dollar denominations are going to be cheap toilet paper.

Google doesn’t sell their private data collection. They use it to target ads so it’s the most valuable thing they have (or as they would call it their “unfair advantage”), so selling it directly is out of question. There are multiple data brokers that also have very comprehensive lists that will happily sell it to anyone.

Since Hungary is letting russians in unchecked amidst a wave of sabotage and terrorist acts by russian agents, they can use article 29 of Schengen Border Code to suspend them.

The other countries can just sign other agreements outside of the EU framework to bypass Hungary. Or maybe they will grow a pair, kick Hungary out of Schengen and make the border crossing painful enough to crash Hungarian exports.

And agricultural products would also be the obvious place for the EU to retaliate too, so if Trump goes ahead with his harebrained plan to impose ridiculous tariffs they can forget about exports as a viable business model.

Their lack of a patent for controller vibration prevented Sony from having vibration on Sixaxis - notice that despite all the BS that it interfered with motion sensing, Dualshock 3 came out just a few months after Sony managed to settle the suite with Immersion.

Since there’s no penalty for making a patent and not using it, it’s probably cheaper for Sony to pre-emptively register everything that comes from brainstorming sessions.

Sony patents random stuff just in case all the time. It doesn’t mean it’s ever going into a an actual product.

The easiest way is to co-opt NATO by ignoring and replacing the US as much as possible. Recreating all the NATO structures and deals with the UK and Canada is something that could be done in a fair weather environment, with a war on our doorstep that’s not realistic.

AfD is far behind the CDU at a national level, and if the center left vote was united they would also be comfortably behind that hypothetical coalition. The problem is that with current opinion polls the government would probably need to be an equally unstable coalition between CDU, SPD, and Greens.

That’s a common problem in places where humans eliminated the existing predators. Herbivores evolved to reproduce in large numbers to account for the predators and this is a disaster if suddenly there are none.

That, along with Russia not congratulating Trump are the only things giving me some hope Trump might pivot with the right push. “We made an amazing deal, Ukraine will cheaply dispose of our old weapons and punish those filthy ungrateful Russians” would be very much on brand for Trump if you insert a bunch of rambling in the middle.

What’s your opinion about lend lease on WW2?

To be fair, he said he would fix the elections not remove them. Lots of nice places like Russia and Belarus have elections without all anxiety of not knowing the results beforehand /s

I also like nice graffiti but even those end up covered by a bunch of ugly and lazy tags. As for cities being soulless without it, I guess you never went to a city that is not a glorified parking lot.

Spray paint should be taxed high enough to pay the cleanup of all the ugly tags.

It can also be a very conspicuous way of showing that you have more money than anyone should be allowed to have. Rich people love their metaphorical peacock tails.

When you are trying to compete with another application, speed matters a lot.

I don’t know if replacing Orban with someone that supported him until early this year is going to change much. Remember that even Lukashenko successfully pretended to be an anti-corruption champion while in the opposition before making Belarus is personal fief.
