When in danger, just shout HEMP!

If there was enough light coming from the screen, it wouldn’t look like this. Therefore, we can conclude the guy is looking at a powered off TV.

I’m almost sure that over time we will see that it’s not a black and white picture, but FUCK it feels so good to watch the changes at the moment!

From the government media showmen’s face melting while watching the results, to the announced politics of the new government, to the current interviews featuring the old talking heads either confessing or getting cornered in their own lies, to the Ukraine support finally getting the green light.

I know already that, politically speaking, I’ll be missing these months (hopefully, years) for a long time later in life.

Nice! Thanks.

Good question. It’s a combination of words that doesn’t make sense to translate directly (unless ‘fashion whim’ sounds naturally English, which I doubt). I guess I would just stick with ‘the new fad’ or something similar - I wish I was better versed in the language (either, to be fair).

I know it doesn’t need to be a straight translation, but ‘hóbort’ is closer to something like ‘whim’ or ‘fad’ in meaning.

No no, the article says it’s mosquitos.

And replace them with AI 🧠🧠🧠

I might easily be wrong, but isn’t punctuation just part of grammar (along with spelling, which I used to confuse with grammar)?

What the hell does your axolotl run on?

It might not live there, but it pays a regular visit about every other week.

I went to check the other bogus reviews and found that page 2 says there are no reviews. Out of the 14.1K reviews on the products.

Yeah, the same goes the other way around. Don’t get me wrong, quite a good number of Hungarians do read about world politics, including the US; they are just not your average Orbán voters (not saying those people don’t; but the majority doesn’t). Oh, and the ones that do browse the Internet for news: your average Hungarian mostly browses Facebook where everything is tailored to keep you in your bubble. Younger people tend to use other sources, of course, but FB is still the default social media site there.

Oh, don’t worry… most Hungarians that exclusively watch Orbán controlled media (imagine Fox news from most freely available channels) don’t know much about the US - especially not about the struggles of the country. They might see things like Trump meeting a political leader or shaping world politics (like ganging on Zelensky with Vance), but media almost never covered negative things about the government or its friends (but happily threw shit at opponents, of course - even as far as straight lying to smear them).

Cures hiccups.

I know it sounds bullshit, but I haven’t had a long hiccup session (read: longer than ~4-5 hiccups) in more than a decade, possibly two: I chill the fuck out.

The instant it starts I take a deep breath, relax my esophagus/larynx/whatever, and put myself in the most Zen Buddha state of mind I can. I keep taking long, relaxed breaths. If another hiccup slips through I still remain a ketamine sloth, believing that it’s just the one or few passing hiccup.

Most of the time I don’t get a second (third) one. It’s over in a matter of a few seconds.

My brother keeps bringing up parking wardens and no matter how I’m trying to put myself in their (employer’s) shoes, I’m unable to convince him.

I’ve been afraid of this since Magyar started his party (the first time I got worried was when he avoided a question about forming a possible coalition with Fidesz in case of winning the elections), but this far things are looking good: he wants to change the constitution (it’s not literally called a constitution anymore for (Fidesz) reasons, but you get it) so that literally nobody can be a prime minister for more than two terms. I understand this doesn’t prevent puppets and such, but if, IF, IF he is truly against corruption then considering everything else up to this point, there is a good reason to believe he won’t continue (most of?) Orbán’s policies.

I just heard from a non-Hungarian colleague yesterday that in fact, they have been planning to skew the results - I guess they hadn’t invited those GRU agents from Russia for no reason. However, everything around them seemed to have claimed that either Fidesz was in the lead or there was only a slight difference, at best. This happens when you’re surrounded by yes-men.
