They could just use random names that conform to their beliefs.

Not sure for the office suite, but there is at least a vsc version on flathub.

For me there are plenty of posts, albeit not all very recent. Must be your federation settings

She’s a feminist and animal rights activist, yes. She is also pretty islamophobic and racist, also noted on the wiki page.

I used a program called spotdl to download all the music in my playlists and then ditched the whole thing.

I have a couple people tagged, mostly in negative ways since they have to make a really bad impression first.

Make sure the game uses your actual GPU and not the integrated one.

Use lutris or bottles to set up and install battle.net automatically, from there install the game as you would under windows. Works just fine for me.

And what would that be? I think i was pretty clear. I want russia to stay within their borders, for all I care they can oppress each other until the end of days. Though I would, unsurprisingly, not shed a tear if the country collapses. Same goes for the states.

I also already gave you a reason why I don’t believe it a worthwhile use of my time to engage with this literal whataboutism on a serious level.

BUT WHAT ABOUT THE STATES GUYS, THE STATES

Fuck them, i have no love for them either.

That this simple truth is even in question to you entirely dismisses any point you are trying to make.

I don’t need to engage with you over this. We fundamentally disagree on a moral absolute.

There is no scenario where a country can unilaterally help themselves to the internationally recognized territory of another. That this simple truth is even in question to you entirely dismisses any point you are trying to make.

Russia has no claim in any way shape or form to any territory that is not currently internationally recognized as theirs, doesn’t matter if the country was in the SU, Warsaw pact, russian imperial sphere, has russians living there, has russia feel “encroached upon”, or any other imbecilic pretense apologists like to bring forward. It isn’t theirs.

God forbid a sovereign nation can choose its partners…

I could imagine they would be bonding, yeah. The Afrikaners are probably also able to speak english, and then you have a bunch of white people wanting to live in a racist system with them as the ruling class and the only real difference being their dialect.

Remember that being white didn’t include many races we consider white today, the most absurd example being the Irish who are on average even more white than the anglogermanic “original” ones.

When push comes to shove they are still white people and ideologically very similar and will band together against the liberal scourge

You sure you don’t know why trump wants to take in the remnants of the apartheid regime’s constituents?

South Africa used to be what american southerners dream of when they fly the confederate flag.

Why don’t we split that shit up? Russia is so large and has so few people in comparison they might as well be a bunch of smaller states who can’t threaten their neighbors like that.

Interesting, I hadn’t thought of that.

Although I would argue that such “unrealized” profits would still count as being given overseas, since the money is not available to the european economy any more, no?

They just keep it parked in some kind of inflation proof financial construct until needed (at which point they might have to pay taxes on however much of it they need to withdraw, but still).

Well okay but where do the profits go? That’s right, overseas

Insert homer and pantsless ashamed Bart meme: "Greatest depression so far ☝️

Fair point, but assuming they manage to get orbital weapons up there, is any government willing to drone strike some replaceable executives if the threat of a nuke looms overhead? Even if they can’t hit terrestrial targets for now, shooting down rivaling satellites and other comms infrastructure (or even shuttles?) seems a pretty powerful deterrent to most developed countries because they are so dependent on it.

I’m thinking mid to long term here. International waters are nice and all, but not really an ungoverned space. If these people have true megacorp ambitions, as in, toppling governments; establishing corporate ruled fiefdoms, commanding private militaries etc. A ship at sea is just another target for the enemy.

Seems more sensible to use this current period of virtually exclusively private space travel to ensure space becomes a privately and not government controlled domain by deploying their tech first and fast, before legislation can catch up.

What are the governments gonna do if google quickly brings a reactor powered data silo into space, and then some defensive satellites? Slap some ICBMs on there or maybe a railgun. Before states and nations are even able to act as a sovereign in space, those corpos will have claimed it already.
