The singular point of the UN isn’t to prevent conflict, there’s been plenty of armed conflicts since its inception, but one important part of it is hosting a forum between countries and especially giving the countries who are otherwise typically underrepresented (e.g. South American and African countries) in international discussions a means of making their voices heard.

It also hosts a number of organizations that allow international cooperation for common goals, with or without the US, that is usually more effective than any country doing it on its own.

There are issues and this recent visible regression to “might makes right” rhetoric is absolutely dangerous, but the UN shouldn’t die because the three biggest nuclear powers are assholes.

The problem is that for the time being, US support is pretty much a requirement for continued Ukrainian existence. I don’t like it any more than anyone else, but the situation is pretty shit at the moment. I’m not suggesting that doing anything Trump wants is the way to go either, then he’ll just demand more and more until the EU is dissolved, but I understand why politicians tread carefully.

I’m hoping that increased European defense spending can start making up the difference, but right now it’s an issue, and taking a hard stance that may hurt the people of Ukraine feels more like their call than ours.

I just switched to an AM5 board and at least on mine there’s a setting that enables HD resolutions, but the input works noticeably worse than on my mobo from 10 years ago.

I also get that perception, at least what they’re showing outwards, but it’s starting to feel like the EU is actually starting to plan for a future that has at least a much smaller dependence on the US.

I think for the pragmatic diplomats, it makes sense to show you’re willing to go back to the old way of doing things because it might make the transition less painful, you get to keep at least some of the benefits and goodwill while you prepare to move away from them.

However, I also think there are unfortunately a lot of spineless (and greedy) people in power who would go back to, for example, a president Newsom in a heartbeat despite the risks it poses.

What is a hëlp and how do we cover it?

Be the change you want to see in the world. Beautiful.

You’re not missing out, in my opinion it was not a good movie in any sense.

…do you mean C++ or just C? Cause, sure, you can poke around with pointers and references in C++ but it can also be used just like any other OOP language, whereas in C it’s absolutely necessary since it’s not an OOP language.

Well, that could make the popup unusable depending on screen size. I think the wording is pretty clear, the issue is just that there’s no followup and not clear enough incentives to avoid skirting the rules at the moment.

Not “make it easy”, it’s “make it as easy”, meaning it can’t be easier to accept than to revoke, much clearer bar.

That’s already part of the GDPR, companies just aren’t complying with it.

From the official GDPR site:

To comply with the regulations governing cookies under the GDPR and the ePrivacy Directive you must:

• Receive users’ consent before you use any cookies except strictly necessary cookies.
• Provide accurate and specific information about the data each cookie tracks and its purpose in plain language before consent is received.
• Document and store consent received from users.
• Allow users to access your service even if they refuse to allow the use of certain cookies
• Make it as easy for users to withdraw their consent as it was for them to give their consent in the first place.

That’s an odd way to troll but you do you, I guess.

Well, typically you should at least initially address the actual owner of the vehicle.

Cheap construction and poor maintainability is more expensive in the long run, I think it’s possible to create affordable housing while still having longevity and a reasonable access to amenities in mind.

…what?

Society survives because of all its members, if women just stopped providing then society would collapse. They have been coerced using oppression and force to keep providing despite discrimination, not thanks to it.

How is it undesirable for any reasonable person, man or woman, to have equal rights?

Sure but thorn itself was getting phased out some 300 years later, so I think if we’re reintroducing letters then we might as well also reintroduce ones that differentiate between different sounds.

Shouldn’t it be “ðe world … wiþ your attitude”?

I think there’s a difference between the problems with leading a nation stemming from the natural ails of very old age versus what minority someone was born as.

Because women are not a homogenous group that all care about the same things, all share the same vision, and are all willing to destroy their lives and the lives of the men and boys they care about for a potential chance that maybe somehow sometime in some unspecified future things can get better.

Yeah, I’m keen to agree with you, since for me it’s the complete opposite: My armpit hair seems to trap humidity against the skin even when air can get in there, and the smell of the sweat sticks to the hairs so if I sweat even momentarily a few times it’ll start to smell whereas it evaporates better if I keep it shaved.

I use an electric razor so it’s more like a really close trim than a clean shave though, practically never have problems with ingrown hairs, so that’s something I’d recommend.
