Thank you

European here. Is a third term actually illegal/unconstitutional or is it “just” defacto illegal/unconstitutional?

The situation is that whatever the cool kids are doing is cool. It might be looking at TikTok, it might be not looking at TikTok. It’s going to change depending on where you go and what the cool kids do at that school.

Who knows what’s cool these days. Best advice is to just do what you enjoy and hope for the best. I certainly wouldn’t want to be a teenager all over again. They’re ruthless for no reason. And I wasn’t any better. I’m not proud of it. But that’s why I can tell you, it matters little what you do, it’s all about who does it.

I got little cousins that are much younger than I. And from what I gathered. It’s not much different now.

No, it didn’t feel much different beyond that i could legally get drunk. You’re still the same stupid teenager, with the difference that your actions now have potentially more severe consequences. So sometimes. It’s probably a good idea to pause for 5 seconds and think about what the consequences might be. Easier said than done for sure.

I’m now 32, and the most important thing I can say is take care of your body and your body will take care of you. Work out, eat your vegetables, stretch your limbs, maintain your cardio. And the next 20 years ahead of you will be even better.

I have friends my age that move like seniors. You don’t want to be like that.

There is a difference between colors you see from reflections, and from a direct source.

Your t-shirts is light hitting them, and reflecting back to your eye. Depending on what is reflected and what is absorbed, you will get a colour.

But that will not be the case from screens that emit their own light.

I did use a winding contraption. I don’t hate it because it’s annoying to remove. I hate it because it’s terrible for the animals that get injured by it.

The amount of people saying it’s because other world leaders and businessmen are implicit are idiots.

Not because that can’t be the case. But because it has nothing to do with how this works.

There is no legal basis anywhere for such a demand. Even if you can prove that one of the victims is from your country. That doesn’t give you the right to access their investigation. It doesn’t give you the right to conduct an investigation inside a forgein country.

You can make a request. They might say yes, they might say no. But that’s all you can do. Demands are different from requests. Demands have an implicit “or else” attached. It’s not something you throw around lightly.

one: because it makes you look weak, and two: you need to be able to back it up if they refuse. EU is not going to start another round of trade-war with the US over their child trafficking ring. It’s not our problem. It’s theirs.

I know I has nothing to do with your story. But I just spent the weekend removing barbed wire fencing. And I just want to say, fuck barbed wire. Whoever thought it was a good idea to put that shit up should be wrapped in it and pushed down a steep slope.

And by whoever I mean my great grandfather. But also everyone else involved. All the way to the factory making it.

I think it’ll have the opposite effect. Knowing the hardware won’t change in the next year, they don’t have to worry about making it compatible with the new cards. They can focus on building upon what they already have.

And as someone that helped pick out a fantastic PC for my little cousin in dec last year, she paid ~500$ for pretty decent hardware, and so far, she hasn’t found a game in my library her PC can’t handle. Including “wh40k Space Marine 2”

There’s plenty of hardware for younger people that want to get into the hobby. You don’t always need the absolute latest.

The US in a nutshell, Fool me once, shame on you, but teach a man to fool me and I shall be fooled for the rest of my life.

No wonder European states and companies everywhere are looking into detachment plans. Germany is switching to Linux. And I’m sure they’ll be able to sell their infrastructure and knowledge to other countries looking to make the switch as well.

The reason US isn’t “happy” is because they are worried the tanks will be unsustainable by Ukraine. They require more fuel than other tanks for one. That’s not a major issue for the US because they got plenty of oil themselves. Ukraine on the other hand…

Thank you. I didn’t know that.

I’m not arguing for oil. Yet the current production costs for lithium batteries, compared to their lifecycle, rivals that of combustion propulsion. That doesn’t mean we should stop researching and finding better methods. But it’s far from as “environmentally” friendly as you think it is.

Oh, and Europe have oil. Plenty of it. Where would you like start? The coast outside Norway? The vast natural gas reserves in western Russia? The ocean outside of Scotland, maybe it just happenes to be a shit ton of oil under Greenland which is 100% unrelated to why Trump wants to own it.

I’m still not arguing for or against oil. I’m saying Europe isn’t following the US, and Europe isn’t interested in following China either. Europe is interested in carving out sustainability for themselves without US or China.

Yeah, they just found it late last year. And still working out how they should bring it up. They’ve made estimates on the amount, i’m not qualified to verify their estimates.

If they can actually bring it up we have security in the materials required to make the research worth it.

But no, we have not dug up all of the ground to get oil. Oil is a lot more liquid than lithium ore. We can pump up the oil without having to excavate the entire surrounding area.

I’m not saying that to defend oil. But the funny part about it is that if they had dug up all of the ground to get it, they would have found their lithium deposits sooner. Because they found it in an oil-field.

You can research all you want, but the periodic table is not changing, and Chinese R&D is decades ahead of the West.

What does that even mean? Do you have any idea how long ago it was since we found the last naturally occurring element? Should we have just stoped all research I the early 1900’s because “the periodic table is not changing”. Dumbest shit I’ve heard all years. And yes, I did hear about Trumps email to Norway. You still win.

It is a lot more complex than “Europe is actually following America more than China in this”.

Europe have very limited lithium deposits compared to China. Europe is trying to be as self sustaining as possible, especially now that the US have shown themselves to be a highly unreliable partner.

So exchanging one dependency for another is a poor lateral move at best.

You can’t just start digging up the entire ground and make car batteries out of all lithium you find.

European universities all over are researching alternative battery technology that doesn’t rely as much on lithium.

There’s this really neat thing called nuclear reactors that produce an enormous amount of energy. It’s only been around for ~70 years but they look promising.

"I didn’t expect this,” Jesse Weldon said.

Why would you Jesse? The only thing that would be more disturbing than a kid shooting their parent, is if you as an outsider expected it might happen.

It could also be solved by everyone putting the seat and lid up, what’s your point?

I’m still not going to argue with you about how you percieve the phrase “you do you”. And why you so desperately want to double down on that tangent is beyond me.

It’s a new level of arrogance trying to tell me what I mean when I say “you do you”. When i already explained what I mean with it after your initial confusion.

You got 2 brain cells, both fighting for third place. God bless and good luck.
