What is a Lemmy Original Meme? Is that you on the video?

Don’t get me wrong, I love it.

Edit: I found it this is the source meme: https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/guy-slamming-credit-card

The most communist part is that the whole process is fully managed by the government tax office, not some 3rd party private company.

The not communist part is that it takes unbelievable amount of corruption to program and maintain these services under the hood. They figured out that it’s hard to measure how much human work needed to develop such a thing, so they can just invoice whatever unbelievable amount they want. American companies help with that as well. Windows and Office license for state offices 3-4 times higher than the normal price for consumers, because for some reason they can’t buy it directly from Microsoft, they have to buy from local appointed dealers… Actually MS was fined for this for USD 8.7 Million, the local party in one of this deal was promoted to higher government position afterwards.

So actually this doesn’t exist for making the peasant’s life easier, just to have jobs to steal from… It’s just accidental that our small life becomes a bit less miserable during the process.

I tell you how it works in my shitty eastern european country:

• I get an email that my report is ready, I have to go to a website where I can see it.
• After logging in I can see a list, where I worked last year, how much was paid, if I should pay anything more or I can get back something.
• If everything is alright I can hit OK. If something is not right I can open an issue on the same website, but I never had to do that ever.

That’s all. Usually takes less than 5 minutes for the whole process.

It seems like you accidentally moved your mouse to the side of the screen, let me introduce you to some unfogettable deal, I’m pretty sure you didn’t wanted to leave yet.

Oh, you clicked on the back button, but fortunately we can override that, so you can enjoy another popup before we allow you to go back to That other website.

TIL Cyriak still makes the same kind of videos 20 years later. I feel old

That game was good, thank you for reminding me. They added local coop with one of the updates, I should replay it again.

Who is pat? I guess it’s Patrick Volkerding, bdfl of slackware.

The diagram is the search interest for the “new” name? There is a new movie titled similarly. (I don’t follow superhero movies since Superman 3. That was perfect, I’m not interested in new developments.)

Russia doesn’t need Hungary specifically, Russia needs someone in the Eu, to destroy from inside, and give internal info and passports.

If there would be a way to kick Hungary out, most of its current support would go to some other country, nowadays Slovakia has a Russian friendly government, between 2017 and 2021 Czechia had a definitely not Russia spy as prime minister and a lot of other countries has more or less successful far right parties with russian ties. There are a lot other options, not as convenient as the Hungarian messed up captured state, but still an acceptable replacement

I have a lot of photos of bios settings. Bios updates usually sets everything back to default, and my handcrafted fan curves and overclock profiles are super important.

If you tell this joke in a linux community, its funny. If you tell it to someone who doesnt know what linux is, its not

Your Flash Player version: not installed

It’s been eons since I’ve seen those words.

Last time someone took in a lot of Palestinians en masse resulted in a civil war: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_September

It’s more complex than that, but usually that’s why a lot of countries don’t want to help that way.

ok it seems like this unhealthy strange flag mania is not a us only thing? I thought it exists only on the left side of the ocean, Who cares about this things. You waste so much time debating about unnecessary things

if you want to burn it, burn it, if you want to drop it on the floor drop it, and fold it the way you want. it’s just a fucking flag, a piece of cloth

How could they light that flag at all? There is this video of a guy trying to light an eu flag. But he can’t do it because of eu standards of making flags from inflammable material: https://files.catbox.moe/smydgl.mp4

I forgot about them. For me olympics was always a tv show

It’s just two weeks, and they are young, healthy sportsman and woman. The symptons won’t even show up on most of them during the games. But when they arrive home, it will be fun

Who are the people on the bottom image. I guess they are amerikan politicians?

What do you mean, what is the point of your comment?

Thank you for finally replying my question. Not everyone living in amerika, and we don’t know who said something about USSA being “too big”? I have no idea who said that because you are paraphrasing something from your US based bubble. Do we have US defaultism here on lemmy?

What is even USSA, I thought you mistyped USSR… There are a lot of tankies here, I thought we are debating about the Soviet Union again.

Oh and your comparison, it seems my reply was correct. The US grid is by far “bigger” than this former SU grid, but not in geometrical mean,

The current population density of U.S. in 2024 is 34.77 people per square kilometer

https://www.macrotrends.net/global-metrics/countries/USA/united-states/population-density

The current population density of Russia in 2024 is 8.42 people per square kilometer

https://www.macrotrends.net/global-metrics/countries/RUS/russia/population-density

Siberia is HUGE compared to anything.

The US eastern grid alone generates more than two times electricity than the former SU grid, and they are both dwarves compared to the chinese one. What do you mean, what is the point of your comment? Most of russia is just taiga forest, it’s big, but doesn’t need electricity.

The part about the texas crisis made me think it’s about why the USA is not a single grid, while Europe is one.

Iirc one big reason made the crisis that severe was their grid is separate, so they couldn’t buy electricity from other states.

Also if that’s the case than using screenshots from that webside is quite misleading. That site uses live data, so if the 2 screenshots were taken at the same time, one of the continents was at night, so solar panels were not working… An avarege or aggregate map should be used, not live data
