It's because we are depressed nihilists who have given up on pretty much everything, running on gallows homour to a point where we are meming youth slang. Don't worry, we're fine haha... Ha...

And punishable by prison in Germany

You know, what Trump is doing, pretty obviously even, is trying to extort Ukraine for their natural resources, by threatening to cut support and let Russia do whatever. More even, he is badmouthing their president and parroting Russia's narrative, opening up the possibility for overthrowing the government if it doesn't meet his/Russia's demands. And on top of all that, you can bet your ass he will graciously offer Ukraine to buy US weapons, even if they take the deal. Probably also doesn't mind doing some business over there, using shock doctrine to its fullest to exploit the Ukrainian people.

This is the kind of peace you can expect from Trump.

I think it was something along the line of their stonework seeming almost too good to be true. Historians apparently dismissed the idea, but some engineers insisted that it seems near impossible to shape (some specific types of) rock as perfect as they supposedly did without precision tooling. There are explanations historians came up with, but apparently these were dismissed by the engineers and no one replicated and mastered the proposed methods.

But maybe the Egyptians were just amazing craftsmen that invested crazy amounts of ressources/time into a very intricate manufacturing process. I'm no expert on these things. I just like the idea that they found a random Pyramid in Egypt and spend the rest of their days building geometric shapes in the desert, because they thought it was pretty neat 😄

Da nimmt man schon ein Tier, was rein zufällig eine Musterung haben könnte, die so aussieht wie die Buchstaben C, D und U, und man entscheidet sich für Grün...

Moment, Grün? DIE GRÜNEN ✊🤬

Heard their CO2 emissions are expected to be around their peak, meaning they are supposed to decrease from now (give or take some time).

I have little respect for the CCP, but that's a feat I do respect. Especially given their economic circumstances

Entirely possible, or they existed so long ago there's not much of anything left. What's the possible time span since humans spread over the world? Thousands of years?

Edit: I just realised that it's probably tens of thousands.

What's way more interesting, imo, are the theories about lost civilizations.

Allegedly, some advanced civilization(s) existed before recorded history. I heard they found some artifacts in Egypt, seemingly made with tooling and techniques too advanced for the old Egyptians. Moreover there appear to be records suggesting some pyramids where there before the Egyptians build their own.

Very cool stuff, definitely more plausible than aliens, but I never looked into it any deeper.

Literally never had EndeavourOS break in any way.

Last time might have been the GRUB issue that affected all of Arch. If you use GRUB that is, since it's not the default on EndeavourOS. Next time might be old package repos being shut off, but only if your install is older, plus there's already the second announcement with simple instructions regarding that on Arch News. Also, it will just block updates.

I've put two people without any prior knowledge on EndeavourOS, didn't hear any complains either. I myself had no prior knowledge in Linux and hopped from Kubuntu to OpenSUSE Tumbleweed to Garuda Linux in short succession. I only switched to EndeavourOS after Garuda repeatedly broke. Been on it for 2 years without an issue I think.

I know this is not a representative study and as a computer scientist, I do grasp things quickly, but I strongly oppose the notion that EndeavourOS is not beginner friendly.

I'm waiting for that one guy explaining how sex with spiders isn't all that bad

Large presences are not really all that necessary. A presence that is in the way and a reason to respond if they are harmed already goes a long way. At least if our government doesn't cut defense spending again...

Absolutely agree, I think what Trump and his henchmen are doing will ultimately be good for the EU, whether that's their intention or not. (I think it's not btw.) What he seems to completely ignore is that it undermines their influence.

If Europe now bets on it's own chips, military tech and strength, currency, etc., this means the US loose economic and geopolitical weight. And on top of that, the perception of the US as an unwavering ally is lost. The US are now perceived more and more hostile. This means he can expect more opposition from the EU when he tries to do whatever random shit he comes up with.

He's so incredibly arrogant, he thinks everyone is so dependent on the US that they can't refuse them anything, now and forever. I'm not sure I'd want to take that bet while I don't have to.
