@fu RT is literally state propaganda of Russia. With lots of fake news and half coverage about anything. If you’d ask me to choose 2 news sources to get rid of from the face of the planet, they would be RT and Sputnik. They’re not just propaganda about Russia (which is what TASS and other state media agencies are), they’re simply Russian propaganda about anything.
Tatra T3 or T4 indeed
@TimewornTraveler where are the dreco memes though?
@late_night what vehicle? My train’s leaving, gotta go, bye!
@alyaza seems like this is no longer a fantasy.
It will be a huge blow to the world if America basically splits apart, with shockwaves going all around the planet.
I do not think that the states will hold their place on the global rank though. Most of the states economy is aided specially because of the fact that they are a part of the same federation. The fact that the “states” are basically just provinces of the same country and you can travel without internal border checks. Otherwise, in a scenario where states are going to be real countries, companies would also need a presence in each of the said state. And this is not something most will be likely to do, hurting the states economy in the process.
And this is just the tip of the iceberg!
Yeah, I also tell her to fuck off right away instead of flirting with her. Seems much more simple!
@fu Thank you, yes, I randomly thought about all those Sent from my iPhone tweets from back in the day so I decided to adapt it and specify.
@schizoidman if the alternative to corporate owned social media is a platform of the CCP then we’re pretty much all fucked.
It’s a Mastodon post and the person just wrote everything in one paragraph. Lemmy uses the 1st line as the title for networks that do not support titled posts (like Friendica for example), but it seems that when it exceeds 200 characters it cuts the whole thing and uses everything as a description too.
@Libb I managed to replace the battery of a 2016 phone 2 years ago, so I do not think that should be an issue. Plus, it’s a Pixel. In the worst case scenario you’d just get it back the way it is rn.
@along_the_road Their existence is threatened anyway, so they are rightfully so. Plus, I do think their intelligence services know a thing or two about their arsenal, especially if it works or not.
@Libb this, or maybe take it to a repair shop to replace it’s battery and maybe the USB port as well.
@schizoidman highly likely imo. Nuclear weapons are generally a sensitive thing for all the countries that have them. Perhaps they did not want to set a precedent or something, or maybe China’s businesses in Europe would have been affected if a nuclear explosion occurred anywhere on the continent.
Who knows…
@Powderhorn these seem only temporary blocks (at least declaratively). And as far as I remember, no state imposed border checks along its entire border. So you could i.e. bypass the blocked border by just changing your route I think.
Anyway, the fact that we, bulgarians, and by extension also greeks and hungarians had official border checks made things much more dificult in the region. One prime example would be the fact that many Romanians go on holidays in Greece or Bulgaria because the prices and conditions are terrible in our the sea resorts. Hungarians also shop in Romania because of the lower prices. And examples can continue.
@SweetCitrusBuzz well, they freed their speech, now they gotta silence the other’s.
@fu I do think it’s Ground News who decided to cut it. I don’t think Russia would be sad if they receive any exposure at all. Not really sure, but probably they wanted to set a threshold on how much of the propaganda/bias they would allow on their platform at all.
idk, my 2c.
