Thanks, I’ll try that! Does it even save if the PC freezes solid? Because that’s what usually happens.

Mine breaks on its own once I sit down with my food to watch some videos.

I fucking swear it knows when I’m eating.

I probably have a faulty CPU, though. I wish there was an easy way to tell (after several flawless RAM tests and two different GPUs),

Smokers routinely light up at bus stops, elevators, parks, restaurants and even hospitals.

Even in Western countries there’s not much you can do. I keep seeing jerks smoking at bus and metro stops (or right next to/outside those), but what can you do? You won’t call the police for such a small thing, and even if you did for some weird reason, the smoker would be long gone.

Sure, you can ask them to not smoke there. One: good luck with that; two: not like they would stop doing that from then on.

“My mother told me not to meddle in others’ business, even though she has lung cancer,” Ms. Zhang said in an interview.

Yeah, once they smoke under your nose in a place they shouldn’t, they make it your business, as well.

I had to re-read it 3 times to realize that BUM wasn’t meant to be an acronym (which is also a new method) or nether regions of the body, but >>!BAM!<< in their own language. We also say ‘bumm’, but with a long ‘m’.

Dammit.

Just for context: during the previous Pride he stayed away and went abroad, and deliberatery had been avoiding the topic of LBGT stuff until the elections.

I guess the problem starts when two other cameras are watching the same area the first camera is in.

That’s totally true. I just thought of the possibility because I grew up where not every toilet was civilised.

Not necessarily in the defense of single sex toilets, but I imagine not all men are gentle, and women (maybe even anyone else) would choose not to get peeked at from above by a nasty weirdo. I know, I know, not like only one gender could do it, but if I had to find a reason why one would want to have single sex toilets, this would be the reason that makes the most sense to me.

Or, you know, people being religious fanatics stuck in the 18th century, but who would be like that in 2026? /s

I bet it’s not available on Jupiter.

I’m almost sure that over time we will see that it’s not a black and white picture, but FUCK it feels so good to watch the changes at the moment!

From the government media showmen’s face melting while watching the results, to the announced politics of the new government, to the current interviews featuring the old talking heads either confessing or getting cornered in their own lies, to the Ukraine support finally getting the green light.

I know already that, politically speaking, I’ll be missing these months (hopefully, years) for a long time later in life.

And replace them with AI 🧠🧠🧠

Indeed. However, they’ve been pumping public money out of the country via money front institutions for quite a while: the ex leader of the National Bank embezzled 650 billion Forints, which is about a metric shitton even in such an inflated currency (update: just a little shy of 1.8 million EUR). They were seen moving their stuff in literal shipping containers to Dubai. I haven’t a single doubt that all that will be used to fund their return with whoever playing as Orbán’s hand puppet.

Magyar is just proposing a modification of the constitution (well, it’s not literally called the constitution, but imagine something similar) so that nobody can be the prime minister for more than 2 terms.

And it isn’t even a crazily rare surname! We also have plenty of these:

• Tóth, which used to mean Slavic, Slovakian or Slovenian (today: ‘tót’)

• Horváth, which means Croatian (today: ‘horvát’);

• Németh, which means German (today: ‘német’)

• Szerb, which means Serbian; Rác, which used to mean Serbian

• Bolgár, which means Bulgarian

• Lengyel, which means Polish

There might be more, but these 6 came from the top of my head.

UPDATE:

• Török, which means Turkish

• Cseh, which means Czech

Well, I’m gonna be honest, we’ve been watching the results with my brother and we were both uncertain until the last moments. News were coming in about the system going down for a firewall update(“yeah, this is when the manipulation happens”), the threat has been there from the beginning because of the GRU members… But we’re both rather relieved.

Now comes 4 years of uneasiness, because while we’re both happy, we’re still ahead of a Pandora’s box.

Except the polls are showing a much more and consistent opposition lead, and discontent is much higher now due to many factors (but in my opinion it’s mostly the economy, highly affected by global economy).

I’ve been thinking of similarities as well: his daughter & family suddenly moved abroad back then, as well, and some institutes were getting ready for a regime change, similarly to this year. However, this time it can be seen in more places, and there has been a scandal about every other day in the past two weeks.

I’m aware of the hopium effect, and they might as well keep their position (although more likely not with 2/3 majority anymore), but as things are at the moment, if they still get some serious majority then it can only be because of their shady business around the elections: bribes, blackmail and assistance from Russian political actors who have had influenced other elections before.

There will be elections next weekend. After 16 years, this is the first time there is an actual chance to remove Orbán from his seat. While the opposition party leader isn’t a cup of marshmallows, either, it might still be possible to stop Putin’s butt plug very soon.

He (and his party) has amassed shittons of government money, funneled them into private equities, made a rule about not having to publish what happens to that money, and used it for whatever the government wouldn’t be allowed to. One of his cronies (none other than the ex leader of the National Bank and the minister of economy) was reported to have moved an astronomical amount of valuables to Dubai in literal containers. He also replaced basically everyone in important institutions with his bootlickers.

Just because Orbán gets removed from his seat, it doesn’t mean he still won’t have near infinite wealth and influence to try and get back as hard as he can.

Or, you know, basically everything that he did or said regarding Ukrainians in the past. If the political figures Putin has just sent the other day won’t be enough to rig the elections then there is a good chance he will stop being a PM after the April elections. I can’t wait. It won’t be an immediate cure for all the troubles he is causing and had caused, but it’s a good start.
