Soon, we’ll find out VW’s electric line is a scam and they’re actually somehow gas-powered. Somehow. I mean sure you never fill it with gas, but

I just figured it was an accident from typing Americanly on a Finnish keyboard. The Finns put the - where the American / is.

Now, though, your version frames the Finnish keyboard differently. It’s like the Finnish keyboard is *nix and the American keyboard is DOS.

Ford in the early days. Henry Ford practically was a Nazi.

Well, fair enough. You can maybe see why I was sceptical though. The source even says the statements are surprising lol.

Ask your doctor about Cellebrite.

Citation needed on the Biden quotation so, so hard.

Sure Russia could beat Finland in an invasion, eventually, but due to Finland’s army, it would be far more trouble than it’s worth. And let’s leave the USA out of this.

Buuuut for as long as we’re not leaving the USA out of this, it is worth pointing out that Mexico and Canada do not live in constant fear of being invaded. Finland does, and this fear of invasion is very rational.

These figures require sources.

No, I’m mostly saying it ironically based on the image of the British spy in popular media.

Sir Richard also said British spies were taking “covert action” against Russia to defeat Vladimir Putin and likened intelligence activity today in Ukraine to the “secret war” fought in the Second World War against Nazi Germany.

Well, if anybody can secret-agent their way out of this one, it’s the British lol

Somebody needs to tell this full doofus that most British police officers don’t even carry guns lol

Finland has a pretty absurdly strong military. It really is a waste of money. But it has this military because it shares a border with Russia. If Finland did not have such a military, it would be invaded. That is what empires do. Finland’s military does not start war; it prevents it.

Ideally, neither side would have to waste money on this military, but until Russia gives up theirs, Finland can’t give up theirs either. Good luck convincing Russia to do that.

Not long ago, I would have been in total agreement with you. The very idea of stealing land through invasion was so antiquated to me that I did not believe even Russia would do it until the moment their troops crossed the Ukrainian border. Now, I reluctantly am forced to conclude that not only is Russia that backward, it probably always was, and the only reason Finland has been safe all these years is because of the military that I thought was so absurd.

Those under 16 will definitely see this as patronising. In a way, they’re right. Social media is bad for everybody—not just young people. It needs to be destroyed.

What is the connection between kids using social media and kids opposing genocide? It seems to me like the exact opposite is more likely, among kids and adults using social media.

Assassinations usually make things worse. Just look at what happened to the string of coups in South Vietnam during the Vietnam war.

Or, can you think of a time when assassination actually did improve matters?

You don’t understand how leadership works, do you?

Look, I’ll talk with you, but not if this is how you treat me.

Can you give an example of a time when assassination produced a better successor?
