  • Huge turnout for Budapest Pride despite Orban's threats and the official ban

    Jump

  • I find it plausible that Orbán and the average Orbán voter sees the Russian invasion of Ukraine as a godsent opportunity for Hungarian revanchism on parts of Ukrainian territory.

  • US to withdraw from NATO under Republican bill

    Jump

  • Yep, the USA likes to complain about Europe being security freeloaders, but the only member to ever invoke Article 5 was the USA.

  • Steam Summer Sale is on! Discuss deals in the comments and recommend some great games!

    Jump

  • Europa Universalis IV 90% off. Alan Wake 90% off. Prince of Persia series 80% off. Devil May Cry 1-4 67% off. Various Hitman games 90% off - the original is going for 79 cents. I could go on but I dunno what you'd be into. They have more recent games too, like Baldur's Gate 3 20% off.

    Anyway, mostly they're the same discounts as on Steam at the moment so I dunno if it counts as "of note". I just mention it because if you buy with GOG you get the game DRM-free, plus some people prefer to spend their money with the EU (as opposed to the USA) these days for obvious reasons.

  • Japan says no fentanyl seized at border in six years after US smuggling report

    Jump

  • Yeah all governments have a tendency to sweep problems under the rug, but Japan are a whole other level. They NEVER admit to anything ever being wrong.

  • Steam Summer Sale is on! Discuss deals in the comments and recommend some great games!

    Jump

  • Note: GOG is also having a sale

  • What are some great retro games that I can play with my 5yo?

    Jump

  • SNES:

    • Harvest Moon - this can lead into allowing the kid to plant something IRL and having them water it regularly, allowing them to "be a real farmer". Incidentally this is also a great way to get a child to eat vegetables, as a child who refuses to even consider eating a vegetable will change their mind when they grew it themselves
    • Super Mario Kart

    Mega Drive:

    • Dr Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine - simple puzzle game with humorous characters from the old cartoon

  • Canada ‘urgently seeking more information’ on death of Canadian in ICE custody

    Jump

  • Nah, photos show a white guy. He probably had memes on his phone or sassed an ICE agent.

  • "New theory proposes time has three dimensions, with space as a secondary effect" -- now you get three detentions for being late to high school science class

    Jump

  • Can you support that?

  • 95% of Hungarians oppose Ukraine joining EU – Orban

    Jump

  • Every time somebody tries to bring up the "America is just as bad as Russia" argument, I like to look at and compare South Korea vs North Korea and West Germany vs East Germany. We basically have proof that America isn't trying to conquer the world. It practices catch and release.

    America's done lots of horrible things but Russia seems to ONLY do horrible things. America helped Japan rebuild and then gave it its freedom again. Russia still refuses to let go of Southern Chishima. America is not as bad as Russia.

    Having said all that, I would prefer if NEITHER of them were global hegemon.

  • Pro-Israel countries to block Irish efforts to sanction Israel at EU summit

    Jump

  • If we ever actually pass that bill. The OTB or some version of it has been on the table for most of a decade, and the cabinet keeps rejecting it. I see no reason why they'd grow a spine now.

  • Petrochemical Industry urges Lagos Government to reject disposable plastic ban

    Jump

  • I mean, would we expect anything else?

  • Orbán: “Ukraine is not NATO member and I intend to keep it that way”

    Jump

  • Orbán does just enough for farmers to keep them voting for him. Keeping Ukraine out of the EU is part of that - if Ukraine were a member, Hungarian wheat prices would plummet.

  • Orbán: “Ukraine is not NATO member and I intend to keep it that way”

    Jump

  • What makes you think they will?

  • Britain's migrant crisis fuelled by Russia in secret plot to destabilise Britain

    Jump

  • Well, duh.

  • Bazzite founder might shutdown whole project if Fedora drops support for 32 bit packages

    Jump

  • Can't Bazzite just permanently branch away from Fedora?

  • Damn Fox, you didn't have to turn me on more.

    Jump

  • I'd genuinely be interested to know how many human beings need to work a 40-hour week in order to produce and distribute enough food, medicine, clothing, shelter and education for all 8.2 billion humans, and how many of the rest of us are really just building follies purely just to keep everyone busy.

    If tech billionaires insist on continuing to make jobs like "taxi driver" and "checkout operator" obsolete via automation while also refusing to share the proceeds of that automation with the humans whose expertise was used to train said AI and then got replaced, then the question of "exactly how pointless do the new jobs (I mean, 'influencer'? Really?) need to be before we accept that money has ceased to make sense as the way we incentivize people to not have more kids than the global industrial output can sustain?".

  • Trump says Israel and Iran 'don't know what the fuck they're doing'

    Jump

  • Trump is out of his depth

    Ehehehe

  • Trump can pull the plug on the internet, and Europe can’t do anything about it

    Jump

  • Ah yes, I hadn't intended that part to be considered a continuation of the Columbus point. "Sometimes idiots like Columbus get things done that nobody else was gonna do because everybody else understands just how monumental the task actually is and are deterred from doing it" is a separate point from "often even when a project was more trouble, time and effort than bargained for, it's still worth it". My apologies for the confusion. I've edited my other comment to make it clearer on that score.

  • Irish man here; I've never been to a funeral that was open casket but I've also never been to a removal that wasn't.
