I remember the Ukraine Association agreement. My EU country held a referendum over it and voted against that. The agreement included sending military aid to Ukraine, which should have nothing to do with the EU, since EU defense is non-existent and only done individually or through NATO. But I believed this was pushed by the UK, who kept seeing the EU as a tool for NATO expansion.

That the EU was morally better than the US. The posts got longer and longer. I gave up after realizing my latest post would be over 4000 words long.

You go live in the UK or one of it’s settler colonies instead.
Reality is not going to be kind to you the longer you stay in the EU.

This is more like Texas seceding on good terms, then after a couple of years a communist coup happens and the new Texas president joins the Latin American Nuclear Defense Organisation aimed against the US and supressess the non-Hispanic population of Texas prompting a small civil war within Texas by people not wanting to be part of a pro-Latin American government, and then the US helping and ultimately invading the parts of Texas that was never part of Mexico ever and then Mexico calling that a full-scale invasion of Texas that must be defended at all cost.

The core complaint is for femwashed stories, where the male lead has been replaced by a woman.

It’s very similar to Hollywood movies taking movies from Japan or China and then turning the Asian lead to a Euro-American.

The level of hatred for this type of content is very strong as it feels like a farce or fraudelent, like someone is trying to sell you a fake designer brand item. Everything that made the item great is absent in the fake one.

On top of that, there’s a clear fascist takeover in the US from the rainbow liberal, evangelical and social capitalists. Fascists have weird superiority and inferiority complexes including towards women. But don’t worry, Chinese movies will become popular soon, so both sides of the US political aisle will have to adjust.

Considering the Bowling for Soup’s song 1985 from 2003,
I’d say around 2013, which makes Bowling for Soup also classic rock.

1. It matters as some distros have one maintainer or will offer you something ideological at great sacrifice, but you seem to already know that.

2. No, the biggest difference is package manager, community forum in case you meed troubleshooting, default DE (eases troubleshooting), and release type.

There are three big families of distros: Debian / Fedora / Arch. Any distro that is a derative of either of these three use their package manager.

3. Drop tuxedo and take a look at endeavourOS. It’s arch-based and arch has the best package manager of all. Also KDE is their main DE. I use Manjaro because I prefer Xfce.

In case you do use EndeavourOS, one warning, DO NOT USE THE ARCH FORUM FOR TROUBLESHOOTING!!

(If you’ve heard of ‘Sheldon Cooper’ from the tv-series ‘Big Bang theory’ or ‘Young Sheldon’. This forum is run by a real life version of him and you will get banned there immediately or very quickly, unlike other forums. Rule #1 of many is that any user troubleshooting admits that the issue is occuring on any OS other than Arch, including the closest deratives, will get banned.)

4. No. Don’t know what HDR is.

5. Tinkering with the DE is definitely fun and you should play with it. Be careful though, because the freedom you’re allowed also allows you to break things. But tinkering with the DE isn’t the worst thing you could break.

Very likely.
But the Netherlands has been exceptionally trusting of the US over all other nations.

They could, but they didn’t want to.

1. A war of liberation is not a war of aggression. He didn’t start the war. He’s ending it. It’s a two-partial-nations-in-one-country civil war that he’s now splitting off from the part that demanded secession with Ukraine and acession with Russia, since they’re Russian Ukrainians and don’t want to join an anti-Russia alliance.
2. This was a private military contracter who just failed a coup attempt for a military junta made from his own private army, and a product of the libertarian period of Russia that’s being reigned in. He should have been arrested legally for doing so, but in this case that probably was considered too risky in terms of consequences. In any case, it’s a much better idea than putting such a figure next to the president’s chair as a kind of mayor of the palace.

Trump, sure, but why would Putin be dead?
Because you don’t like him?
Because he replaced Boris Jeltsin who was similar to Javier Milei and pulled the country out of economic misery?
Because he wants to join an international payment system that’s fair instead serving US debt?
Because you hear about CIA paid figures like Navalny from USAID paid news articles, the type Trump is accused of being, but unlike Trump, aren’t billionaires, who would never be elected if not for foreign donors who expect something back from it?

Trump seems to not understand the language of Putin and insteads opts for the language of Medvedev.
