  • Ukraine’s Top Military Leadership: We Are Starting to Win, Russia Is Starting to Lose

    Jump

  • It's not that they will run out of people. They have people, but to keep recruitment levels so high and equipment manufacturing so high they are overcharging their economy. Right now in Russia there are three types of jobs if you want to make money afaik, work in the military complex (arms manufacturing), in the gas extraction industry or directly in the military.

    It's Dutch disease x100, if the state at some point stops being able to fund the war machine, their economy collapses.

  • Ukraine isn’t invited to its own peace talks. History is full of such examples – and the results are devastating

    Jump

  • I was thinking more about their history of being occupied for the last millennium, invaded by the mongols, then occupied and partitioned by many states, including the Polish-Lithuanian commonwealth, the Ottomans, the Austrians, then finally conquered by the Russian tzars, then having their independence dreams being shattered by the Soviets, then being invaded by the Nazis and now by Russian Federation, with the latest nail being Trump's actions.

    So yeah, superpowers plural

  • I'm pretty sure Ukraine is already used to being invaded and picked apart by superpowers without any real say

  • I bet you say the same regarding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, right? Trump's plan to end that war and build villas in Gaza should totally be "welcomed and anyone preventing that from happening investigated" /s

  • A fediverse app to empower coops and smaller taxi companies and allow them to reach users could actually be a pretty good idea and a great way to reduce Uber's power

  • Arabia went from being under Ottoman rule to being under the house of Al Saud, it's never been colonized by a western "liberal" country.

    Their rules are still insane.

  • Wasn't china in the 19th century a literal empire?

  • European workers didn't get their rights from being imperialist, they fought hard against the imperialist elites to get where they are now, and China's elites are being just as imperialist today as any European or American elite has been since forever.

    China and India is apples to oranges. There are a myriad of reasons why their paths diverged. There are other East Asian countries that did better than China way before China, while starting from a much more similar point (or even a worse point).

  • You could say the same about every developed nation. It took a bit more for most nations, but these nations had to literally invent concepts like public health and education, welfare and even socialism.

    But yeah, every western European country has already eliminated the worst kind of poverty and on average European citizens are better off than Chinese citizens. Working conditions, working hours and safety laws in Europe are much better than the Chinese average.

    The US is doing its own thing with extreme capitalism, and I'm against that, but let's not kid ourselves, China has taken a lot of pages from the US's economic model

  • 🤌 means "what the fuck" or "the fuck", as in "what the fuck do you want" or "the fuck do I know" and stuff like this.

  • TIL Coca-Cola still produces $3 billion worth of pure cocaine per year and sells it to opioid manufacturers

    Jump

  • Once upon a time Coca cola used to sell coke in glass bottles that you would then give back to them, they'd wash them, sanitize them and sell them again. You'd pay a small deposit on the bottle that they'd then give back to you. They had bottling centers all over the place.

    They switched to plastic bottles because it was much cheaper to let the government handle the garbage problem

  • I'm pretty sure that the Chinese government has direct unfiltered access to byte dance Chinese servers, there's no need to "attempt" to obtain data, they don't need a judge or an injunction, they can just do it. It's a different system from the American or European ones.

  • So you just make pasta with bechamel and parmigiano and drink caffè macchiato. You're fine, really.

    Aside from the fact that, imo, there are better sauces for your pasta, you are not doing anything egregious, plus you can call Alfredo whatever you want. Nobody knows what it means anyway.

    PS: coffee made with a moka pot in Italy is just called coffee. Espresso is made with an espresso machine that works at high pressure.

  • Carbonara

    Jump

  • Original Alfredo is pretty much an American invention. There is a restaurant in Rome that makes "pasta al burro e parmigiano" but that's pretty much it. Americans took the dish, put cream and shit in it and gave it that name. They can keep it imo.

    In Italy pasta Alfredo is more of a meme than anything else, and "pasta al burro" is made pretty much only when you are sick.

  • You joke but in many languages they do that, for instance "statunitensi" or "estadounidenses"
