Market movements in crypto are irrelevant to me because I'm only holding stable coins with a guaranteed 1 on 1 conversion. Downward fluctuations in ma...

This is in principle less risk because it's irrelevant what the markets do, whereas index funds will crater during recessions.

Why exactly should a country accept that another country or group of countries limits its possible actions? If we accept countries are peers, this is ...

So the West should lose then?

That entire post is build on the predicate that the West is a power for good. Which it mostly only is when you actually live there. For the rest of th...

I'm on a stable 9% return per year so far without leverage and trying to divine what the crypto markets are doing. The only thing I have to worry abou...

I agree that parties should be negotiating if not peace at least an armistice for the winter. But I'm afraid Ukrainian hardship will be used as levera...

Maybe you should look what "context" means in a dictionary? What other "action" than a further escalation was he alluding to according to you? Christo...

Yo miss!

I was trying to be charitable by assuming there was a language issue, especially since you got the meaning of good faith wrong already, but we can go ...

Anyone who thinks making a living out of hiring themselves out for contracted murder is a good idea, is insane.

out of arguments and back at ad hominems I see, how novel. It's obvious for anyone who can read using the common sense meaning of words in the English...

I meant a translation of his whole speech and we can do this in your native tongue.

It's nice how you deny what happened. Mook claimed the Russians hacked to help Trump. That was called collusion in the media, and that's what was repo...

I don't trust my own politicians so that's the wrong question. Whatever. I get you're not a native English speaker and the finer points of the transla...

I already mentioned to Christoffer that in the context of that small speech it's quite clear what he means.

The term "good faith" has a specific meaning quite devoid from "faith". It's a legal term of art which nowadays is also used in common language. Your ...

I understand from your reply you didn't read the Mueller report. Collusion isn't a legal term. He looked into conspiracy and it didn't reach that leve...

Errors aren't fake news. Fake news is the deliberate pushing of falsehoods. The majority of the stories had a) alternative versions on other news outl...

He waves with the spectre of Russia attacking Poland and the Baltic States in a similar fashion as Ukraine and you're thinking about a no fly zone and...

So your interpretation of "Action is needed" is Zelensky wanting a no-fly zone? Have you seen the entire address where here comes to that conclusion? ...

I don't know why you go through this process as a reaction to my post as it's not very relevant to the point I'm making. Zelensky called for action as...

You have an interesting idea of "good faith" which is actually to the total opposite. What Zelensky believes is irrelevant; he needs to have reason to...

Thanks for the... cash? I guess.

So across a multitude of news outlets (New York Times, New York Post, CNN, MNBC, NPR and probably more) she found 157 falsehoods about Trump since 201...

Let's assume that's true. On the basis of belief but not evidence, because that's difficult to get by according to you, he thinks it's perfectly fine ...

So it was a Ukrainian missile. Which I'm sure the Ukrainians knew but blamed on the Russians any way. Either Zelensky is optimistic about escalation n...

They might have fought and Ukraine would've been Russian in the first week. You seem to forget western support was there well before the war started.

Agency entirely dependent on the weapons of others, isn't agency. And pointing out the influence the US has over this conflict is hardly anti-American...

Retaliate against whom, anyway? There's an assumption these were fired by Russia but latest news is this is unlikely given the trajectory. We need to ...

Just found this great website: https://goodonyou.eco/

And yet you're not pretending there are right wing communists. Seems like we're perfectly capable of distinguishing left and right based on a more the...

Since when are left and liberal related and when did the Democrats deserve the moniker left? It's a right party on any European spectrum. There are no...

Not a superpower though. Watch me be a lot less worried about Bolsonara :yawn: as opposed to the spectre of Trump. :scream:

Not because he thinks it's a good idea for the US but because it is an imminently bad idea. If even Putin recognises that, you'd think it was a hint b...

It's funny how no one anywhere but in the US would ever consider voting Republican. The US political system is a tragedy.

I'm boycotting. I won't watch any game.

Still fits the frame. You're just more likely to argue it's worth the cost because you see benefits outside of the protection of human lives at the ex...

I think the discussion about legitimacy is irrelevant. Do Ukrainians deserve to be protected against Russian aggression, answer: yes. At any cost? No....

Emission gap report: You Fucktards Aren't Doing Enough.

This also reads like fiction. I really think people here have a tendency to extrapolate all sorts of stories from a minimum of facts. We have seen an ...

Well, actually I think that's the problem, we have no way to interpret it other than establishing it happens. My gut feeling is pretty optimistic this...

I thought Giorgia Meloni was a pornstar. Turns out she's a racist politician without decent melons. :sad:

I'm banking on Russia imploding from the inside as the most likely way of this war ending in favour of Ukraine (eg. land returned, possibly even Crime...

Biden classified what you had for dinner last week when his turd spelled an "M".

I just love how 7 months ago everybody was like "we need to make sure this doesn't escalate to nuclear war" and now at least in the UK they're enterta...

She doesn't say how she feels about it though.

It wasn't my point. I was pointed there as support for a Russian identity of imperialism, which I didn't find particularly if nationalism is just a po...
