Veikkaan että Orpolle käy ihan mikä tahansa, kunhan vaan EK:n tavoitteet ammattiliittojen kurittamisesta saadaan kirjattua lakitekstiin.

The minister in charge of these issues is a religious homophobe and the "party" he represents is more like a loose protest coalition of confused conservatives and racists.

Our prime minister "would have liked Finland to join the initiative, but the ministers have the authority in their own cabinets". The racists have our prime minister's balls in a grip, since the government would dissolve if they got offended and decided to leave. And since the current right wing government is the only chance to crush the labour unions' power, prime minister Orpo seems to be more than willing to suffer one humiliation after another to win this prize for the corporate sector.

Yes. I'll happily pay extra if it goes to Ukraine.

This is the core doctrine of Russian warfare.

1. Armies fight armies. Unit casualty rates over 50-60% are completely acceptable.

2. If decisive victory cannot be achieved by fighting, begin systematic destruction of the opponent's infrastructure and society to crush to their morale.

3. If 1 and 2 should fail, use of nuclear weapons to achieve the preset goals is the next step.

This is what has been taught to their generals for a long time.

This is the way.

I solely used Netscape Navigator since it came out and after it fell I chose Firefox. My interface has always been modded to look permanently like Firefox 3.6.

Everything is where I want it to be and everything works perfectly.

Many moons ago my employer tried to force us to use only Internet Explorer / Edge for reasons they were unable to explain - since there were none, technically or otherwise. I rebelled and remotely installed Firefox with Adblock / uBlock Origin to every personal computer (I was the unofficial IT guy) and told my co-workers to try it out.

At the next meeting we were told that the use of Firefox is not only approved but recommended. The magic of an "ad free browser" had taken hold, people found it vastly superior and had been vocal about their newfound dislike of MS browsers.

To my surprise I wasn't even reprimanded in any way.

One kid sniffed lighter gas and jacked off during 9th grade chemistry class. He passed out and fell off his chair and hit his head to the floor with his dick still clutched in his hand.

The teacher was so terrified that she couldn't do anything but stutter and shake violently. Me and a couple of my friends dragged the idiot outside to get fresh air while waiting for the ambulance.

The sniffer came back to school the next day like nothing had ever happened. This incident was never again discussed in any way by the teachers or other faculty members.

There were lots of totally crazy shit happening on a weekly basis. The early 90's were pretty wild where I grew up.

I remain baffled by this. But since I can barely differentiate red and green in optimal lighting conditions, it does not come as a surprise.

I set X-Wing Alliance up for my 13 year old son some time ago. He absolutely loved it.

"You had games likes this back in the dark ages?!"

Wow. That was far better than most of the official sequels.

True.

I think I've reached the age where finding out I've been wrong about something isn't all that bad. Accept and examine the presented facts and you just learn something new. And there's no shame in that.

This is worse than terrible. Now Trump gets to play martyr and it rallies up his base, even the ones who were in doubt after his conviction.

And as the chaos ensues, Putin is laughing at his throne.

Yep, after comparing both images more closely I am now certain that I was wrong. The structural dissimilarities are simply too great, even for a heavily modified model.

This is a good reminder for me to keep my facts straight before I start claiming truths online, based on just memories from quarter a century ago ;)

Thank you for kindly showing me my mistake!
