Friend of mine played enemy territory competitively. They turned the graphics all the way down so grass and smoke didn’t get in the way of their field of vision.

Not condoning what he did in any way, shape or form, but Dutch TV adds a little more nuance not covered in foreign press:
It was explained that this happened in the UK when he was 19, and the girl was 12. The sex was consentual, but in the UK sex with a minor is always considered rape, because a 12-year old is never considered mature enough to consent to sex. He served his sentence partly in the UK, then was transferred to the Netherlands. In the Netherlands, consentual sex between a minor and an adult is “fornication” and illegal as well, but the punishment is less than for rape. He is now 30, and has a family. In the interview he says he is a different person than the teenager he was 11 years ago. A grown-up with a family instead of a teenager. The thing that bothered him more than being booed (he says he blocked it out at some point) was that at one point people went to attacking his volleyball partner and his wife and child.
I can’t find the full interview online, but here is an excerpt: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fXyNaldd0qg
Nikki Hayley is an opportunist. She sees Trump potentially losing and is shifting herself into a position of plausible deniability. If Trump were doing better she’d be completely on his side like she was when she was his spokeswoman. She knows he won’t live until 90 and is positioning herself to become more powerful in the republican party.
Is anybody writing this down? Sounds like an excellent roadmap to me.
The problem with rcs is that it needs to work without a data connection like sms. For that to work, every single mobile operator needs to support it and route it. For that to work they need to work together. The problem is they don’t and there are different implementations, some don’t support it at all. Even when they do, the phone needs to support it. Google is now at a point where they have rcs capable messaging on every recent Android version. Apple is now also integrating rcs into iOS. They are circumventing the operator problem by enabling rcs over wifi or your subscription data. But that’s a workaround, because it requires data, while sms just requires a cellphone signal. Until operators start working together to enable and relay rcs messages, Google and Apple habe the monopoly by having rcs routed directly to their messaging apps over the internet instead of directly to the device like sms does.
That’s how you know you voted correctly.
One guy from the Netherlands is cleaning a lot of that shit up though. Look up Boyan Slat. It’s not only about stopping the pollution, but also about how to help cleaning it up.
Seriously though, isn’t that exactly what a new Trump administration now can and probably will do?
One if the few newspapers left that criticized the Russian government. They operate from abroad now, and still publish online.
I think in general the u.s. journalists are not really critical. So much extreme things are being said and done and no one seems to be questioning how and why.
Where are all the real journalists at?
Let’s go. Either him or AOC.
They are using your knowledge and talents to profit immensely by selling or using it. Selling it right back to you and everyone else. I have a problem with that.
It would be fine if it was free.
According to gdpr it is not allowed to use people’s data for purposes other than the ones they agreed to. I had an e-mail discussion with them and I filed a complaint with my countries gdpr enforcement agency. They take a while to investigate and react, but hopefully if enough people complain they will take it seriously.

Well, that is currently changing as Ukraine is now able to target military targets inside Russia, disabling their supply lines. Ukraine has been restricted to use the supplied weapons systems they got. They should be able to use the full force of these weapons and drive the Russians out. NATO is being way too restrictive with an invading county bordering on our territory. Russia has shown they are not to be trusted. We should supply Ukraine with a few tactical nukes, for defense, and see what happens when the kid that’s been bullied suddenly also has the same big guns.
Russia has repeatedly promised not to invade Ukraine, right up to the point where they did. First in 2014, then in 2020. There is no use signing any kind of treaty with a government like that, or else the Ukrainian people are going to go through this again in a couple of years.
When Ukraine joins NATO this will end. Let’s get that done asap.
Of course not. All it takes is for Putin to disappear (metaphorically or physically) coining a change in government. Remember, Russia used to be quite a prosperous country when they were tackling their internal problems rather than trying to invade their neighbors constantly.
I think we are not too far from that point. Hundreds of thousands of young soldiers killed, economy in ruins, shunned by a large part of the first world. The only way to counter that is a tightening grip on his subordinates and the population. That works only temporarily.
And of course there’s the NATO bid. As soon as there is a truce, Ukraine can join. Exactly the reason that Russia demands that Ukraine doesn’t join. I would say the exact opposite is happening. Russia is losing and is now trying to at least block Ukraine from joining NATO.
Because hexbear users would never do that, right? You’re fighting your battle on the wrong battleground.
