You wish. Young people are far less likely to vote than older people. Sadly NBC is likely right.

Don't threaten the US with a good time.

I can't imagine he's someone to strongarm. Nor would it be good for the alliance if members are forced into accepting things they don't want.

I'd imagine he got his desired concessions, or it was mostly just bluster for internal politics.

Likely around 8k-10k in total. So they're likely over 50% attrition on their primary means of warfare.

And keep in mind this is artillery destroyed; they will also have lost a lot of artillery through wear&tear, and have used up artillery pieces as spares for other artillery pieces. Plus they still need sizable reserves for the defense of their massive country.

Russian military is moving towards complete ruin with the war in Ukraine.

Loeb is a nutjob. He'll claim anything is proof of alien life as long as it gives him media attention.

Yeahhh that's not how diplomacy works. That's how edgy high school kids would imagine running NATO.

Those are unusually low numbers. Did the Ukrainians take a day off? Were the artillery crew preoccupied watching Wimbledon? Or is the Russian army literally out of material?

I wonder how bad it would be to just let weak companies collapse and weaker jobs disappear.

There's a bunch of dysfunctional companies and jobs that are mostly kept afloat by cheap money and parasitic behaviors. Would be interesting to prune the economic system and see if capitalism flourishes again.

Meh it's missing a lot of QoL. It would have been nice if Lemmy had 'default subs' just as reddit did. Perhaps there are some Lemmy instances that do this?

I find it very hard to find subs to subscribe to (overview of existing subs is terrible), and the subs I did find are much less active than on reddit (even compared to smaller subreddits)

Plus the app I am using (wefwef) is clunky in its design; collapsing comments is clunky, downvoting is somehow ridiculously hard to figure out, and there is no consistant 'back' navigation item (switching between the android back-button in the bottom, and a cancel button at the top, without any consistency or logic)

Overall: if reddit would come back online tomorrow, I'd go back in a heartbeat. It's like the Lemmy developers are filled with IT people and lacking in psychologists, sociologists and UX experts.

Wtf how is this even possible? Are the Lemmy devs smoking crack? If you're going to run a reddit alternative, it may be wise to sanitize the fuck out of everything posted on there.
