All these “news” about him going down, any moment now, are super annoying. All just for the clicks and people, even here on Lemmy, gobble it up.

Mate, even the AI slop from Google gets that right:

Christmas originated as a Christian holiday celebrating Jesus’ birth but was strategically placed on December 25th by early Church leaders to coincide with and transform existing pagan winter solstice festivals, like the Roman Saturnalia and Sol Invictus, absorbing traditions like feasting, greenery (holly, mistletoe), and gift-giving to attract converts and give them new spiritual meaning, making it a blend of ancient winter solstice customs and Christian theology.

They made everyone call it Christmas, but the holiday was there before that.

I think the socialist part of that has thoroughly proved to not be successful given the recent struggles on top of all prior ones.

The same argument applies in every other voting system and that is simply not how it works. If you never vote what you actually want you will never get what you actually want. Saying all need to change at once is nonsense, a gradual shift is more than enough. But people argue exactly like that and so never vote what they want, that is the core issue. Other voting systems still see few % parties get nothing and the argument people use to not vote them is exactly the same. The has to be some cutoff below which you get nothing and there is no way to prevent that in a real system with integer numbers.

They have them, they just don’t vote them. The big brain argument is “because nobody does”.

Did you not read the definition above? It is pretty much the opposite. Just because 2 nations are formally at war with each other does not mean shit, there is a wiki article with absurd examples.

Those are perhaps hostile actions, but that is far away from war or “war campaign”.

A state, let alone a union of lots of states, are not at war because you feel like it. wiki: war

It is generally characterized by widespread violence, destruction, and mortality, using regular or irregular military forces.

So what makes you think the EU is at war and why are all the implications that would have missing?

Note that “being attacked” is something different than being at war, as per above, but I am not going to start a new discussion before we have not finished this one.

The EU is not at war.

Just note that you can not calculate like that. At war the whole economy switches over, instead of only a tiny fraction.

That is not passive, they have to “translate”.

Shitting over Trump is not serious? Hmmm!

Why did you have more than 1?

They get their good grades for free. Then have no competition getting stipends based on these grades alone, while other countries don’t just hand out 100 % willy nilly.

Perhaps also stop giving stipends to Chinese students solely based on their grades when they essentially get them for free.

Waiting is a good option.

I really really hope people are capable of telling a tiny cat poop apart from human poop. Unless there are tigers or other big cats around.

439 voters! Wow! Let’s jump to conclusions!

I got 2x32 GB for 200 € in April. Seems okay for something I am going to use for 10 years again. It was a i7 4790K to Ryzen 9 7900X transition.

Wow, you stayed way cooler than I would have. Lemmy is extremely anti-LLM or AI in general.
