Do you know what a rhetorical question is? No need to answer.

Huh, well I was confidently incorrect. TIL.

Ok, so lies by omission. If you’re playing semantics rather than good faith discussion at this point, it’s clear you don’t have a point to make.

I wish you the economy you voted for.

I do not like that man Ted Cruz

In America and prettyuch worldwide. Inflation was a result of both Trump and Biden policies during covid and similar government policies worldwide. Not to mention, the pandemic itself. Trump didn’t get inflation under control. He’s risking a recurrence.woth tariffs.

Well, actually, it’s “just desserts”.

I did not like him on a trip.

Varies between airlines. Usually the non budget airlines are slightly better service and amenities but the difference is shrinking. However, the. Udger will have extra costs for everything, including luggage etc. so it depends on the cost difference.

No point saving $20 then paying $10 for luggage check and $10 for a snack.

Generally best to look at what’s going to suit your schedule best unless the price difference is enough to change your plans around it. 6am departure can mean a 4am rise. You’ll be tired at your destination. 9pn departure, you’ll just sleep when you land and need to pay an extra days accommodation.

Like a train station?

So pyramid schemes on both sides?

Lol, so NATO provoking Russia is saying that Ukraine could enter at some point. Russia invaded them as in the future, they may not be able to invade them?!

At no point has there ever been any indication that NATO countries would impact on Russian sovereignty without provocation. Russia doesn’t want more NATO members as it wants to invade and control their neighbours when it wishes.

Democratically elected? Do you forget that Victor yanukovich had his competition jailed. Yulia Tymoshenko was democratically elected and was pro eu. She then lost a run off to him and he had her jailed.

Lol, they can’t remember all the things they are outraged about. If you’re expecting consistency and logic, you’re talking about the wrong group.

Yesz a refugee application is a legal path to entry. Just coming and ignoring border co trolls makes him an illegal alien.

Yes, they are just data, but commonly that data encodes a url.

I agree, it could be made more secure, but getting rid of url shorteners and trackers that obfuscate real urls would be a step in the right direction with no new software needed.

So, why did they Annex Crimea and invade Ukraine?

I don’t think Europe should be spending 5% of GDP on defence. That doesn’t mean Russia is not a threat. You’re saying that Russia is a threat, but from a intelligence and misinformation point of view. What makes you think much of the new spending won’t be on that?

I’ve had one recently that used a similar site. It now has an ad and a click through to get to the site. I think it was meant to be a menu. Enshittification at every point.

Good for you to abandon dark patterns, however, people prioritising socialising might lead to less dark patterns in general.

Australia did too. QR codes are probably the least invasive tracking you can imagine. You can open each one in a clean browser, like Firefox focus, if you like. They are just a shortcut for entering urls. If china wants to track its citizens, it’s not with QR codes as they track so much more from the data already on your phone.

Most places with public transport have moved from cash to card based payment. It’s all traceable already. Sure, some places, you don’t need to register the card and can cycle through some, but many places you need to register to use one, or register for reduced fares.

Nobody expects Russia to march to Berlin. They will selectively annex or invade wherever suits them if they don’t face resistance. This article seems to say we should abandon Ukraine so German industry can have cheaper power from fossil fuels. Merkel also treated Russia like a normal trading partner when it was clear they were not trustworthy.

No, Germany decommissioned its nuclear plants as an act of foolishness. Ukraine should not pay the consequences. If Germany wants less war, it would be easy to stop supporting genocide in Palestine, while continuing to support Ukraine.

Germanys economy is suffering, but it has turned the corner. Likely trade with America will affect it more than Russia.

Yep, I agree. Yet some things can be kept apolitical when there’s a will to do so.
