Airazz,

Her money was pocketed by private insurance companies. Blame them, not a poor country that’s under attack. US has way more than enough money to feed and house everyone, even if they quadruple the spending on Ukraine.

Airazz,

That’s how much the US was spending in Afghanistan per day. Every single day. For twenty years.

Airazz,

At the same time, everyone else is calling for genocide of Jews. Cool stuff.

Airazz,

I could feel that I was going out as I counted. It felt as if I slowly lifted an inch above the operating table and rested on a fluffy white cloud. I could feel them inserting catheter and needles but it didn’t hurt even a bit, if anything it tickled. Last sight was the grumpy face of this fridge-sized bald anesthesiologist.

Woke up a second later in Intensive Care unit, surprisingly well rested.

By the way, there was no tube in my mouth. They just put a mask on and it smelled sweet.

Airazz,

Wanting all of that but without the authoritarian bit should be called something else. I’m from a country which was occupied by communists (collective ownership was a thing) and it sucked big time.

Airazz,

There is no perfect system, textbook wonderland communism has lots of flaws too. In my ideal world it should be a mix of everything. Communal gardens or hobby workshops are great, communal workplaces not so much. I mean, people should be allowed to get rich if they can do it without abusing others. You should be able to start and grow your company, and get paid for it accordingly.

Airazz,

Except that they take shit very seriously at airports. Try jokingly saying that you’ve got a bomb while they’re checking your luggage, they’ll take you away for a few hours.

Airazz,

I’ve got four different countries, with different languages and currencies, within a four hour drive from my house. I only drive if the road trip is the goal.

Airazz,

You can download it, without images it’s just a couple GB.

Airazz,

Hamas intentionally uses civilian buildings and schools as ammo warehouses. Israel aims for the ammunition and ignores the civilian casualties. Neither side wants to avoid civilian deaths in Gaza.

Airazz,

In some countries you must submit a letter of resignation a few weeks or months in advance, otherwise you don’t get resignation bonuses and your employer might even take you to court for lost productivity. Of course, this only applies to people who are simply quitting for personal reasons.

Airazz,

Don’t pretend like Hamas are the good guys.

Airazz,

They resist ethnic cleansing by raping and torturing hundreds of people, even children?

Airazz,

They’ll all get hacked sooner or later. Ironically, a physical paper notebook might be the safest option right now.

Airazz,

It’s to combat ticket resellers.

Airazz,

US spends more on healthcare per capita than any other country. The reason why you can’t afford medical bills is because of for-profit health insurance companies. They pocket billions every year.

Airazz,

Or you could just get rid of predatory insurance companies.

Airazz,

Talks about serious military spending increase are on the rise in Europe, because of Trump. US is no longer a reliable ally.

Airazz,

I’m sure russia would care a lot about your strongly worded letter if they decided to take Alaska back.

Airazz,

In my country electric scooters are classified as bicycles, so they must use bicycle lane if one is available. To clarify, E-scooters like this one, not like electric Vespa or something. Their top speed must be limited to 25 km/h.

Airazz,

You’re just making shit up.

Everything you’ve mentioned is done either by taxi, or by delivery guys with a van. It’s not the US, elderly people can call an ambulance to go to a hospital, they don’t need to pay for Uber while having a heart attack.

Airazz,

The only difference is that the paid one doesn’t have ads. I don’t know what’s going on, but my free version doesn’t have ads either.

Airazz,

I use Small Cards layout and it looks like there’s a bug (it’s not a bug, it’s a feature) where it won’t show ads in this layout. It will in other layouts.

Airazz,

This is a measurement unit. A bit unconventional, but it’s not any worse than using three grains of barley, dry and round, placed end to end lengthwise, or the length of King Henry I’s foot.

Airazz,

No London buses?

Airazz,

In specialised subs you can find genuinely good advice.

Airazz,

Lemmygrad is full of not very nice people. You guys should stay off this evil gay western internet thing.

Airazz,

Huh indeed, I’m pretty sure I come from lemmy.world and I’m not a vatnik or nazi.

Airazz,

You can have a gun in any county in Europe, you just have to get some training and pass a test first. Also, Hungary isn’t all that great right now, with their totalitarian president, pro-russian views and huge brain drain. Looks like Slovakia is moving in the same direction.

Airazz,

This is hilarious.

So russia has mandatory military training, each year a certain number of men are called, this has been happening for many years, it’s just standard boot camp. Shoigu assured everyone that this year’s conscripts won’t have to go to Ukraine, training will be done as usual (on russian territory only) and then they can go home.

Looks like he changed his mind.

Airazz,

Renewable power is now a huge business too, naturally there are corporations which will happily lobby and shill about it. Looks like you’re doing exactly that, claiming that wind and solar is without faults and basically a miracle.

The most basic proof of that: wind power isn’t safer. Way more people and animals are harmed by it than by nuclear.

Airazz,

Chernobyl was a freak incident and it happened fourty years ago. We don’t build reactors like that anymore. Don’t use it as an example of something that happens all the time.

Meanwhile, wind turbines do fail, sometimes they catch on fire, sometimes while a worker is doing maintenance up top.

Don’t get me wrong, renewable power is wonderful and solar is really catching up but it’s not a miracle and they’ll never entirely replace other energy sources. There’s always a base load that needs to be satisfied, and nuclear is the cleanest, safest way to do it. It’s even safer than lithium batteries.

Airazz,

Lol, going straight for ad hominem here, aren’t you. Yea, you’re just a shill and a naive kid who thinks that he’s objectively smarter than literally everyone. I’ve met plenty of people like you before, you’ll argue just for the sake of arguing, ignoring all facts.

Airazz,

You don’t understand how the power grid works.

Airazz,

Yes, obviously you should cut supply lines, duh. Why would you supply products to someone who isn’t paying for them.

Airazz,

McD has zero vegetarian options, besides some very sad salad.

Airazz,

They continue operating in russia as if everything’s fine.

Airazz,

Looks like they’re vegetarian but not vegan, because flavouring includes milk.

Airazz,

Have you tried them both at the same time? You need good coffee, obviously.

Airazz,

They might not exist yet. You can create one if you wish.

Airazz,

I signed up here a while ago but continued using reddit because Relay still worked. Now it’s asking for money and there’s no chance in hell I’ll give even a cent to spez.

Airazz,

There were many small subs with genuinely knowledgeable people but many have shut down after the API change.

Airazz,

How did you patch it?

Airazz,

I was born in a shit country and everyone here worked hard over the past few decades to turn it into a decent country, with help from developed ones. That’s how.

Airazz,

Ok, and what’s your point? Some people don’t get the same opportunities, therefore they should all move to countries which are doing well? What are they going to do once they arrive? Most of them are uneducated, don’t know the language and don’t have any valuable skills. How are they going to survive in these crowded, overpriced cities?

They can’t all live on welfare payments.

That’s why I support helping their home countries develop, funding education and healthcare, sharing agricultural and manufacturing knowledge. It’ll be better for everyone if they turn their poor countries into developed economies.
