Countries don’t stop having national interests by the virtue of being in EU or NATO. Neither is very firm on specifics of what a response has to be and Russia thrives in ambiguity, hence their hybrid warfare efforts.

I don’t see it any different, aside of that i don’t believe that influence was as orchestraded and planned out as the new plans are.

That’s a very naive way of thinking about the US, a country known for violently meddling with affairs of other countries. I think it’s your bias for one of the capitalist factions that makes it difficult to accept.

I’m not sure if being a tax haven is the greatest strategy to make friends Estonia will need when Russia starts poking it.

I don’t take politics this personally anymore.

euro adoption

And here’s an answer why Orban & Fidesz get so many votes. Euro will be a good idea when EU has a common budget, before that it’s a recipe for economic misery (see Greece in 2015).

We were subjected to decades of neoliberal propaganda which resulted in dismantling of public services which led to regular people voting for fascists. It is therefore quite easy to judge American influence as objectively bad.

There’s no reason to change outrage levels.

In my country, which is an American colony, it was quite telling which press outlets were squirming when Trump cut their financing - surprise surprise, it was all neoliberal „left”. You can’t say RFE was some small operation either, it’s a broadcast station operating since WWII. I know it’s uncomfortable to admit the amount of influence US exerted over Europe for decades now. All that changed is that there’s no rainbow coat of paint anymore.

Not sure why this is causing an outrage when previous administrations did exact same thing (see Radio Free Europe as an example), just for a a different brand of imperialistic capitalism.

Pretending something doesn’t exist doesn’t make it go away unless we’re talking about celebrities. Reddit is one of the biggest forums on the internet, of course this is newsworthy.

I’m so sorry that it happened to you.

I’m okay with title assuming readers have a basic awareness of world events like ongoing LLM mania and final stages of a bubble.

Clickbait implies that title leaves something unsaid so that you click through and see more ads. Everything you need to know was said in the title.

It’s the same title. AI growth = more stupid little babies writing emails with LLMs.

There’s no such thing as international law, turns out.

I kind of grew bored by season 2. Which is a weird thing to say about something from Schur. Weirdly unimaginative.

Charging, syncing and Bluetooth compatibility will be a bit of a challenge for most.

France definitely understands how to negotiate with the US of A-holes.

Investors predict that market for 60 second long strolls through a blurry AI vomit with 2s of input lag is going to be ripe this time next quarter.

Heavily subsidised by selling oil to less oil-rich countries. At least some money goes to people rather than a local monarch. Good for Norway, who also lucked on hydro power, but if they really cared about the environment they’d actually stop drilling.
