Can’t expect a lifelong republican to turn democrat all of a sudden, tho. There’s still a lot of nuance on both sides, but there’s only two sides to choose from.

Man am I glad at times l like these to have like 17 parties to choose from in my country.

good thing I’m critical, read and research a lot and keep up with politics.

apparently this post worked as perfect bait to out the tankies supporting modern day Russia hahaha

yeah, dude, you’re obviously way ahead of me writing walls of text. don’t waste your energy on this. you won’t change my views and I won’t change yours.

sorry for being not as left as you.

if you’d ever change your mind, vote for the green party. ecology is and will always be more important than any of this us vs them shit.

and now before my final goodbye

fuck putin fuck trump fuck xi fuck kim fuck netanyahu fuck despots and dictators

anyway, I’ll be playing the drums now, fine evening to you too

Russia attacked Ukraine. Putin thought it would be easier, though, but now faces the consequences of his hubris. I, as a European, can not support this. Period. Same thing with Trump wanting to take Greenland.

There’s two despots, Trump shoving more towards that definition every day, wanting to expand their borders by force. Just look at Venezuela.

You state that “you really hope Russia wins”. That it wins what, exactly? Ukraine? What’s their next step, then? Restore the former borders of the USSR?

Honestly, fuck that. Fuck leftists supporting Russia because they once were anti capitalist. I’m sick and tired. Be a conscious leftist and condemn both. What one was, is not anymore.

You’re critical towards their repression, but not towards their invasion of another sovereign country? I can’t rhyme that together.

Crimes of imperialism are terrible. Crimes of Russia as well. I know of no leftist calling to arms to take military action towards Russia because of their repression. I do know of criticism towards their attack on Ukraine, and rightly so.

Be reasonable. Call out any bad side, be it USA, NATO, Russia, North Korea …

So we’re gonna pretend Putin isn’t an imperialist dictator? If anything, Putin is as imperialist as his Western peers. And he’s a dictator.

Getting tired of this hypocrisy. You can be a leftist and condemn Western imperialism as well as Russian imperialism. Condemn it as a whole ffs. It doesn’t always have to be “the enemy of my enemy is my friend”.

Fuck the US. Fuck Russia.

I’m a musician. I swear by Beyerdynamic DT700. Fucking great headphones for like an insanely reasonable price

I’m more suggesting it as an experiment, not a full force state-of-the-art agent. Could be a great way to learn a new skill

you could always use it for some tech experiments! there’s lots of examples out there. retro gaming console, home server, run your own AI model (at least better than using big tech!), etc

every post about fairphone, there’s always one comment like this

who played who? I don’t even know hahaha

Agree that sport and culture have a lot in common, but at this point the sports-part feels like it’s merely a side event to the half time show

Imagine having the final of your favourite sport turn into an entertainment/cultural show …

Other than that, perfect platform to spread this message so yea

edit: the european mind can’t comprehend

would not say “hero”, but I did like a lot of Michael Jackson’s music when I was younger.

let’s not pretend he didn’t do anything just because he could settle/pay off everything …

rutte is so far up trumpywumpy’s ass, it’s insane

I was leaning towards this option. Any music apps you’d recommend? Got a Bandcamp catalog that could get a nice and worthy place now

Oh I’m not planning to do that! Don’t trust any piece of technology permanently plugged in to a charger!

Thanks! Lots to check out here. It’s 128GB tho, so the entire Wikipedia dump will sadly not be possible … hahaha The “useful useless app” phone might be the way to go. Other than that I was also thinking about using it as a dedicated (offline) media player

yes
