It would have cost you nothing to refrain from posting this

Because the clumsy crops and editing are amusing and charming.

AI slop is just dumb, low effort, and often unnervingly weird in a bad way.

I mean she upholstered herself according to Vance’s predilections. She knows what she’s doing.

The EC can do whatever it damn well pleases vis a vis Russia and Russian citizens. Russia has zero capacity to dictate terms to the EC. Much as America has zero capacity to dictate terms to the EC, despite recent efforts of our regime and mega corporations.

It’s be great if you actually tried to have a debate on the actual merits - or lack thereof - in the articles you post, as well as the potential biases resulting from their provenance, instead of immediately falling back onto jingoistic lines straight from the Kremlin paired with comically inaccurate ad hominem attacks.

But you do you.

Outstanding (despite the outlet you’re using to present the story)

I’m curious if you think this is a good or a bad development. I have my suspicions on your sentiments, but other users should see which way you’re leaning.

There’s just the one

milk for the Khorne flakes

lol straight to the ad-hominems, as per usual <3

So your source is implying that Russia is allowed to do shit like that, but Russia’s geopolitical adversaries aren’t? Fascinating. Or is this more along “don’t believe your lying eyes” lines?

Where’s all the Russian sources you like to quote? Because theres a very similar image one could put together to illustrate how comically dogmatic you are.

There is real bias in many, if not the vast majority of, western sources. But your insistence that it’s a one-sided issue is very obviously disingenuous and incorrect.

I don’t care about educating the trolls. That’s not a productive activity. I do it so other users don’t see his content and just blindly accept it since there are no counterpoints in reply. Lots of people have OP blocked, but I like to counter their wildly unhinged assertions and articles that are primarily from media outlets that are known to be more or less direct Kremlin mouthpieces (primarily for the above reason, but also because it probably annoys OP, who is a pro-Russian-authoritarian troll)

And let me guess: this is “legit”, while this one is “western Russophobic fearmongering”, right?

Lmao in what world would that “fallout” have any fucking impact outside of Russia, where hardly anyone is doing business anymore?

All true.

Also, I respond to OP with data to disprove their statements fairly often because they’re a giant Russia shill - check the post history.

lol

Nah, this is a blatant mischaracterization.

Hungary had three and a half years to figure out a solution. The writing has been on the wall, and the regulations had been established, for a while now. Hungary just flatly refused to accept the reality, and banked on the idea that the EU would fold on this policy front (to be fair, the EU sometimes does do flip-floppy things), or that they and some other country aligned with the Hungarian regime’s tendencies would let them block/veto the matter indefinitely, in a procedural sense.

They lost that bet, and this is just Orban et al whinging about the consequences of their own actions.

Hey so just to be clear: a 200k comp package nowadays is the equivalent of about 81k in 1990.

Put another way: I am doing a good bit worse than my dad was at my age, despite being a pretty solid and experienced software engineer, with an EECS degree, and a lot of devops and system design experience.

This is the collapse of the American social contract. Even people like me who are ostensibly in “great” jobs are treated like code monkeys, and adjusted for inflation, it’s flat or worse than 30-35 years ago. We are doing worse than the generation before us. The American Dream is a nightmare.
