Do elderly women have to stream videos to pay for cancer treatments? My father has cancer, and all his bills this year add up to €0. Well, sometimes I leave the car in a paid parking lot; in the whole year it’s probably been around €20.

One of the things that shocked me most about the pandemic was that no country had plans in place for the situation. I had always imagined the basement of some boring government building filled with folders containing plans for all kinds of contingencies, how naive of me.

If you make plans on calm, pleasant days, you’ll forget things; if you make them on the fly in a panic, it will be complete chaos. And it wasn’t just one country, it was everyone; nobody knew what to do. From what I can see, we’re still the same.

I don’t use it for privacy, I would never use a free VPN for that and even less one without a paid version (where do they get the money for the service?) I use it to bypass regional blocks or blocked pages in my country (due to piracy in most cases) and for that it works quite decently.

Yes, I think that at least part of the property is owned by a Chinese consortium (I think not 100% of the company) it also uses Chormium with everything it implies and as I said the VPN is free which itself should make anyone suspicious. I didn’t mean to say that opera is perfect as a browser, but this specific service provides it better than firefox and despite its problems, for me, the work boards function is what makes me use it by default

Opera’s VPN doesn’t require registration and has no limits, So it’s a free VPN, don’t use it for anything important, but at least it’s not an obvious scam.

what a great book, what a waste of a movie

Any possibility to make it for android?

What fraction of the total users is that?

the wave function collapses when the markets open

Thank goodness we don’t have rules against low-effort memes, because reality provides us with ready-made jokes.

Forcing me to defend a religious leader, Trump’s evil knows no bounds.

Think the American economy isn’t doing well? Just wait until this autocrat takes control of the currency. Argentina’s 1990s economic crisis is coming.

Hopefully this war will be limited to droids vs clones

I understand the hate in the comments, but I think the important part is something else, How can the world deal with a country that only wants to commit genocide with all its neighbors? and not the government, the population in general. What can we do with this? How do we get out of the cycle of violence with people like this?

and? What does that change? It does not invalidate my previous point at all, there is already American material on the ground and American aid to Ukraine (it does not matter who pays for it in this case), it is normal for Russia to do the same with Iran (help that you also do not know if Iran pays like Ukraine does) and increasing it will only make Russia increase its aid to Iran, what do you gain from that and where do you set the limit?

On the original issue of the shipment, the US recognizing that Russia provides intelligence support to Iran is not going to change anything or benefit anyone in any way. Apart from the fact that if the US does/did it with Ukraine, with what argument are they going to even ask Russia to stop doing it?

The US is already sending a large amount of military material to Ukraine and if it sent something more forceful to pressure Russia, what Russia would do is send long-range missiles to Iran and then what? Do you keep climbing waiting for someone to do the chicken before you get to the nuclear thing?

And don’t forget the old lobbying to push for greater persecution and criminalization of torrents and VPNs

I hope JD will actively campaign for all the far right parties in Europe. It’s the best thing that could happen to us

I still don’t understand the importance, what change in strategy should the United States make knowing this? does they need to confirm it? Because for me it is obvious that Russia shares information with Iran, it was obvious that it was going to happen before starting the war and there is nothing at any level that the USA can do beyond saying, oh boy, what bad luck is mine

I have seen this topic before and I don’t understand what the importance of the issue is. Isn’t the USA sharing intelligence with Ukraine? I suppose that Russia sharing information with Iran is what is expected in the situation and what could anyone do to prevent it?
