“both sides are the same” for example. Do you really need me to list all the propaganda they repeat? Just go to .ml or grad and you’ll see. The discussion is not pointless because ignoring them and not responding to their bullshit isn’t gonna work.
Defending and arguing that the two parties aren’t the same isn’t the same thing. Just check out last week’s news involving trump. Just last week. And then multiply that by 50. Nobody said the democrats are good. Just that the republicans are 10 times worse, that’s all.
So you propose ignoring the propaganda and hope it’ll go away? Doesn’t sound like a very good plan.
He’s got a good chance of being the least worst president so far. It’s a low bar, tbh, but still. Anyway, here’s to hoping he surpasses that :D
Depends how much propaganda they’ve ingested.
From my own research, there’s two things that people are holding against him:
One is his refusal to sign the authorization for the building of a children’s oncology hospital (his explanation was that they want to build it in the center where there’s barely any parking and it’s overcrowded as it is, and he finds the location illegal for approval, he’d have no problem with a different location), after some increased pressure, he finally signed.
The second being the issue of (hot) running water in Bucharest. An acquaintance has actually spoken to an employee of the hot water supplier and apparently the 60 or whatever year old plumbing that was being used was in horrible shape and it really needed changing. To me that seems more of a problem that has been ignored by previous administrations and should never had been allowed to reach that point. Imo, it’s actually a point in his favour that he had the balls to cause so much trouble for the people in order to solve the issue.
Beyond that, he’s praised for fighting corruption and stopping illegal constructions that had ties to some mafia and whatnot.
And lastly, a few years ago, we had a referendum to amend the constitution to change wording from “between spouses” to “between man and woman”. Same sex marriage isn’t legal in Romania, but this was an attempt to make it harder for the law to change in the future. His party wanted to vote on which stance to take or something like that. And apparently he had promised when he was elected to remain neutral arguing that it wasn’t an issue that needed debating and that remaining neutral would avoid division. He said he won’t renew his party membership if his party takes a stance and since they did he’s since been independent. And whenever he was asked about his vote he said he voted but not which way. My guess is that he’s pro same sex marriage but knows that admitting it would cost him a lot of votes since Romania is still very conservative, as proven by the millions that voted for Georgescu last year and Simion this year.
Because Lemmy was drunk when he went to bed with the chick and couldn’t consent, obviously!
I think he’s taking a page out of trump’s book and is gonna claim stolen election and stuff.
Seen it in Europe as well. It’s good stuff, can confirm! (Altho I guess you’re German and you know that already, but still)
How come gog doesn’t get the same hate if it’s all steam fanboys and it’s all so unwarranted? How come it’s all focused at EGS? Are you sure it’s not because you’re mistaken? Maybe you’ve got a rage boner for Steam and you can’t see past it.
Yes, but the propaganda says that he’s backed by “the system”, so it doesn’t matter. He’s still a conservative and has his issues, but he does seem to want to do good things and work to solve some of the corruption issues. We shall see what he can do.
You’re unironically defending EGS and calling me a troll. If you think that’s how a store with 7 years and a billion dollars invested (Sweeney’s words, not mine) should look like, that’s fine, that’s your opinion and you’re free to use it. Personally I’m not a fan.
Yeah, poor multi billion dollar company has only had 7 years until now to make a decent games store. That’s definitely not enough time and money.
Exactly. The app has been shitty for almost a decade now. How much slack are we supposed to cut to a multibillion dollar company?
Haha, that’s cool. Thanks for sharing<3
Huh, interesting. That’s what the huntsman does to the wolf in little red riding hood, actually. Or well, in the version I’ve heard when I was a kid.
I see. I thought people were arguing facts not just word usage. The argument was “water isn’t actually wet, that’s just a saying people say that isn’t actually true, same for abortions killing people”. If we’re just saying that people say stuff like “water is wet” all the time, then yeah, I agree with you. Don’t need to go to the ends of the earth for this discussion :) have a nice day!
In Romania we have a story about a goat with 3 kids written by a famous author.Source.
Shortened version: She leaves the kids at home and tells them not to open to door for anyone. Wolf comes, the 2 older kids open the door cause they’re idiots, small one hides. Older kids get eaten and the wolf leaves their heads by the window.
Mom comes home, young kid tells her what happened and she decides to invite the wolf to a meal. There’s a big hole where she puts hot coals or something and covers it with a bunch of twigs or something and places the table on top.
Wolf comes, eats and eventually falls in the hole once the hot coals weaken the twigs enough. Goat and kid throw some stuff on the fire to weaken it and then kill the wolf by throwing big rocks at him since he can’t escape the hole.
So if enough people start saying that the earth is flat does it automatically become true? Is usage what determines facts now?
Ye, it’s pronounced like Q. That’s why toilet paper is often shortened to pt (papier toilette) but also to pq (papier cul)
