Ugh. Nazi salute is with hand raised up front and steady. Not a sideways wave.

Whatever the case may be , Europe is not ready to defend itself and if we are abandoned by the Americans we will suffer very very badly in a war we might not even win
we are culturally unable to actually fight
I am European. Not everyone in europe is globohomo. If push comes to shove Moscow will burn. Ankara too if it comes from the south.
Now we may have to execute majority of current elites and do some nasty stuff with the refugees, but it is doable.

Would you be ok with Trump disentangling from NATO if the Russians decide to attempt to get a chunk of estonia?
As a European - yes. GTFO please. Europe should be able to defend yourself. And Russia is pathetic foe anyway.

but most men would love a relationship where their woman is exclusive to them while they can sleep with other women on the side
Anecdata of 1 but when I have really strong chemistry with a woman, I don't have eyes for any other. As in not interested.
When I don't have it - I could see situations in which it will be very tempting and what the hell.

Who are they accountable to? Not the presidents, not the congress and before the fall of the Chevron doctrine - not to the judiciary. Who can tell the head of the EPA or FCC what they should do?

Trump just wants/is entitled to the same level of obedience and ideological alignment that Barack Obama and Jill Biden enjoyed.

an overrated series
Shrek 1 and 2 are classics for a reason. I almost cried during the first film Hallelujah and wanted to join the fight during the second's I need a hero.

Right now, it looks like DeepSeek and XAI are ahead.
The meltdown on hackernews about Elon delivering is quite something. EDS seems to make even TDS pale in certain circles.

Because we are talking about books. It is very easy to judge a book's length by its physical size.

I would recommend to read the tomb. it is a nice horror. It is not critical to the next books, but there are some references.
The keep is also nice to read, but once again not critical.

I read the first two books and was underwhelmed.
I paused for a month around book 2. Mostly because I guessed who the big bad is from the beginning.
Third starts better. I would strongly recommend you the repairman jack series as something in similar vein, but better executed. It starts as a thrillers with some supernatural elements and then moves on.

It might be because I haven't seen as many children's movies recently, but I honestly cannot remember the last time a kid's movie explored its theme with as much maturity and complexity as this movie.
Give puss in boots - last wish a chance.

Anyone that can comment on the claimed 1.6B USD box office? As per wikipedia. I find it absolutely impossible.

Don't open it. There is enough land to build houses already.

"Thirteen kids from 4 different women - he really is african american" is the best joke I have heard so far.
anyway - worth it only for the replies to this tweet.

They have absolutely no geopolitical conflicts. The current way of thinking is mostly a relic of the cold war. Especially since the US is getting ahead of Europe and Europe now is like the German confederacy too strong to be easily conquered, but too disorganized to be a threat to anyone. And the US will probably start to view it as a liability soon. China with Russia and Kazakhstan (as my geography teacher called it - a gem of natural resources) is invulnerable. Trade embargoes just doesn't work.
The first cold war was won by the sino soviet split, another Russio-Chinese split could solve the second.
Benefits - better control and exploitation of the soon to be thawed arctic, denial of arctic to the Chinese and encircling of China.

One of my country prominent liberal politicians called the Ukraine army the best in Europe. Deadly serious and with a straight face. In a fit in a response to the USA actions lately.
Do you think there is any merit in that or early symptoms of USA derangement syndrome?

Do you think that Russia and USA are natural allies for the 21st century and that the upcoming Riyadh talks are a first step of it?

A quote from the ever wise Heinlein
You tickle trout by gaining their confidence and then abusing it
Feminists are easy prey - because the modern feminism is so entangled with safetysm and not safety many of them have no proper instincts where the real danger is.

A full quarter of defense spending is salaries
I would go the other way. Salaries should be a bigger fraction of the military budget.
There could be massive savings also in Medicare and Medicaid if they only stomp their feet and use their massive scale to cut costs.

We have very rich liberals in Washington. And wiring money takes less than 24 hours. If people cared as much as they whine about it - someone would have picked up the slack already.

SS, Medicare, Medicaid, and defense amount to amount to $3.5T. do you really believe that "easily" 30% of that is waste?
The US is definitely getting as least bang for their buck with military contracts. Any reason to believe that the other are different?

The toxic gas is carbon monoxide ...
Potential spikes in AIDS-related deaths and a resurgence of untreated infections if access to antiviral drugs continues to be frozen by the US
I wonder why EU, china and Canada didn't pick up the slack. Or private persons. It is not as if Bill Gates doesn't know how to write a check.
Trump and Putin to begin talks on ending Ukraine war
From the signals Trump administration sends - on terms that Zelensky probably dislikes.

I can go there with a sling and shoot down the Mauritius airforce if push comes to shove. If they have something heaver you may need to add one Australian with a boomerang.
This teams looks diverse and inclusive to me. Hope they have enough equity in the project too.
On a more serious note - this is like rediscovering the wheel. This formula has proven track record. And I am willing to bet that they will be quite accepting of women if they manage to survive the initial hazing period.
