@neolatyno Kaliningrad Oblast is overwhelmingly inhabited by ethnic Russians. Neither of the neighbouring countries has any interest in adding a million Russians to their population.

Königsberg is Europe 🇪🇺
Should it belong to Lithuania, Poland, Germany, or form a new Baltic state in the European Union?

Russia destroys everything it touches 📍 Königsberg

For the first time, a non-European nation has taken part in the European Political Community Summit.
It was an honour to represent Canada in Yerevan, Armenia. In an era of great power rivalry and increasing division, we’re focused on creating more peace, security, and stability in the world.

@estherzelda0514 Stardew Valley is a funny example to use though, both because the player base skews heavily female and because "plays a little when (s)he has free time" is, uh, pretty far from my experience of how that game is usually played.
English
This is one of the common female icks I don't completely understand. Like, what is going on here? Do the women who have this opinion hate playing video games themselves? Have they tried them or not? Are we talking about a guy that occasionally plays Stardew when he has free time or a man that pisses in a bottle every night while yelling at people over Twitch for hours? I just assume that everyone my age has played video games and enjoys at least some variety.

I know this is unpopular, but it will always be unattractive for a grown man to play video games. Some women might be understanding or pretend like they don’t care that you spend hours playing, but they do. It is extremely unattractive to women and will never not be. 🤷🏼♀️

@LizzieMarbach Joke's on you, my wife plays more games than I do.

@estherzelda0514 If you're not into gaming at all, then a partner who games might not be the best choice for you, sharing, connecting through and understanding each other's passions is an important part of a relationship. Its just dumb to generalize like that when about half of gamers are female.

@Antikeburg Far-right parties being pro-Russian is at least ideologically consistent. Far-left parties being pro-Russian is peak anti-Western brainrot, Putin's Russia represents basically everything that Leftists claim to be against both socially and economically.
English
@Antikeburg Current-Day Russia is a far-right wet dream - a hypermilitaristic, nationalist, chauvinistic, imperialist, regressive dictatorship with a leader deeply inspired by 20th century fascists, that persecutes LGBTQ+, decriminalized domestic abuse and spreads hyperracist propaganda.

I’m sorry but like 90% of Pro Russian movements in Europe are Right Wing aswell

@MFeldenkirchen Das einzig kritikwürdige daran ist, dass ein U-Boot versucht, unentdeckt zu bleiben, während Herr Mützenich ganz offen für russische Interessen und gegen deutsche sowie ukrainische Verteidigungsfähigkeit opponiert.
Deutsch
Rolf Mützenich „ein russisches U-Boot“ zu nennen, halte ich für böswillig. Unter Demokraten sollte auch berechtigte Kritik Maß und Mitte haben. Das hier ist zu schrill.
Marie-Agnes Strack-Zimmermann@MAStrackZi
Wenn ein russisches U-Boot bereits seit vielen Jahren in den Reihen einer Regierungsfraktion sitzt, braucht Russland keine eigenen Spione mehr. Wie praktisch für die russischen Kriegsverbrecher. Unverantwortlich und realitätsfremd.

@Anarcho_Econ @AdamSinger Around 3% of French jobs and 4% of Italian jobs are in agriculture, compared to 15-20% white collar jobs, so the latter are far more representative of the "average" person. And meanwhile in rural France, they're having five course meals for dinner every day.

@AdamSinger If you think this is how the average European lives you’re actually brain dead. Ask a fucking French or Italian peasant instead of some Paris dwelling email-job-having state-funded parasite

@speechboy71 Don't think there's anything particularly damning about Sullivan's record on Gaza, but Ukrainians really, really don't want him back, he was the main factor in slow walking military support for Ukraine during the Biden admin and allowing Russia to regroup, entrench and mobilize.
English
Yes turn Democratic foreign policy over to people who have no diplomatic experience and ignore the people who built the international coalition supporting Ukraine in its war against Russia.
Just an idiotic suggestion … honestly, a complete lack of understanding of the Gaza war has melted the brains of Democratic activists
Adam Carlson@admcrlsn
I have a lot of respect for Ben Rhodes and hope they follow his lead, but any foreign policy org that includes Jake Sullivan or others from the Biden administration that had any modicum of decision making authority around Israel & Gaza has no place in the next Dem administration.

@UkrainianAna So much Jew Hatred in Ukraine that it's the only country in the world other than Israel that has had both a Jewish President and a Jewish Prime Minister, at the same time no less.
English
Israel:
Does not join international sanctions against russia.
Remains "neutral" and does not send Ukraine lethal aid, refuses to sell it and blocks other countries from doing so to maintain a relationship with russia.
Netanyahu actively promoted Orban, russian puppet that actively sabotaged EU aid to us.
Buys our grain russia is exporting illegally from occupied Ukraine.
Israelis: We were so nice to you, how dare you?! Shut up about your grain! Nazis! Bluh bluh bluh.
P. S. "Unmatched genocidal Jew-hatred" though? Seriously? 🙃
No competition in that department?
At all?
Are we sure?
Katya Sedgwick@KatyaSedgwick
Israelis and Jews everywhere had this fantasy that they can be nice to Ukraine and Ukrainians will be nice back. We always have this fantasy; it’s time to learn. Plus, Ukrainian history of genocidal Jew-hate remains unmatched.

@PalmyrPar Americans trying to defend their bread to Germans is a bit like Germans trying to defend their Mexican food to Americans. You will find occasional rare exceptions where it actually is good, but in 99% of cases the quality really is worlds apart and you just sound ignorant.
English
Ameribros, I love you, but you guys need to accept that, in SOME cases, you don’t have the best things. Your bread really is that bad and lacking in variety, at least in the stores people generally use.
krus🪖@krus_chiki
Europeans be like “American bread does not have ze required amount of saw dust, oats, and crushed nuts to be considered bread in mein country”
English
@noodlebrett @affairemayaling I would rather tell them to stop packing it up because bagging bread in plastic is a horrible practice (ruins the crust and makes the bread soggy) and, unfortunately, exceedingly common in North America.

these are in almost every supermarket chain here. this is what we mean when we say you don’t have bread in your grocery stores.

@karaokecomputer @PeoplesForumNYC Those... are all extremely sensible and based positions, and consistently anti-oppression and anti-genocide (especially regarding Hamas and Russia). Where's the problem?
English
Kat Abughazaleh repeatedly condemns Hamas, actively supports genocidal NATO, compared Russia to Nazi Germany, and advocates for providing arms and Naval support to Taiwan against China. She is the definition of a coward and @PeoplesForumNYC should be ashamed to platform her.

@BanhmiBrieoche I casually went to a Champions League game in Dortmund on a Wednesday evening while living in Berlin, 500 km away, by taking the train at 4pm after work and a night train back. How many MetLife goers come in from over 500km away for a weeknight game?

My favourite part is them thinking they're covering vast grand unthinkable distances in their cars while you can just take a gentle stroll from Paris to Warsaw and that Europeans just can't conceive of the distance
You're not too big! Your cities are just poorly designed!

@JBDgames @TheCityMentor Spain's population density is lower than both New York State's and New Jersey's, and roughly the same as New England, California or the Atlantic South. Most New Yorkers don't regularly commute to North Dakota, and most MetLife goers aren't coming in from West Virginia or Maine.
English
@TheCityMentor Now do the difference in total land area of the USA and Spain. The USA isnt a phone booth like the the countries you Euros live in where you need to cram everything together lime a sardine can

Difference in parking space between Camp Nou (99,000 capacity) and Metlife Stadium (82,000 capacity)

The brits are right. Instead of building a stadium 9 miles* from Manhattan* we could’ve just chucked the whole meadowlands complex in Central Park!

@taxspendlib FWIW, that's 50% for Liberal PMs vs 29 for Conservatives. Harper just did a better job consolidating Conservative-leaning respindents aa the only Con PM in the last 30 years, while Libs are split between PET, Carney and Chretien.
The 1% for Turner are genuinely hilarious though.
