  • I wish, but the US still hasn’t sent Ukraine the much needed 60bn package due to political fighting, which is already affecting the forces on the ground. And if the orange buffoon becomes president again, it will only get worst.

    Unfortunately Russia has the means to keep this going and make it worse for the Ukrainians, while Ukraine is entirely dependent on US and EU support (with the EU lagging behind).

    Biden is not a saint, but I really hope he wins and grabs a majority needed to support Ukraine in the next few years, otherwise we risk Russia getting in a much better position, and the West losing all credibility.







  • All my adult life I have been living under the rule of Orban, more than a decade now. Your hope decreases year by year, as he always wins his most important domestic and international political battles against all odds. It’s incredibly exhausting.

    Now I live in western EU, because I gave up on the hope that Hungary will ever change. Yet my tax money will still continue to fund the infinite apetite of him and his friends.

    At least I hope the EC didn’t become his bitch (again) for free, and Ukraine will get the needed funds.




  • Yes, around a decade (or a bit more) ago I also found him interesting, based on a few short youtube videos or things I’ve read. Was never a fan, but as some other comments mentioned, young men were/are looking for these types of belonging and guidance.

    Then I of course grew up, formed my own opinions of the world, and the same time he went further and further to the unhinged side, so yi can’t take him seriously anymore.

    Everything is paywalled. I’m leasing a less than 2 years old BMW, and now everything is included (e.g. phone app, carplay, guarantee), but after a while these run out, and you have to pay for even navigation.

    This is also why I think it’s not worth to buy these cars, lease/rent it at the most. If you want to own smg, buy a reliable Jap/Korean option - when looking at used cars I’ve seen Mazdas hold their value incredibly (unlike the fancy German cars).

    I heard of a guy who tuned his already 500 hp Benz to get it over 600 (now he is under arrest in my country for street racing).

    They also do this a lot with BMWs, e.g. the 318i and 320i engine is the same, so if you just change/hack some software setting on the 318i, you can get more hp out of the same car.

    But these are of course the minority of people, and mostly targeting sport cars, not luxury sedans.
