A Finn from a Finland. The same Tuukka as on piefed.europe.pub, piipitin.fi, kbin.melroy.org and social.porotokka.net :))
I hate the electric toilet flush handles used in Tesla, but I must admit it did feel impressive when I encountered it the first time. I was hitchhiking and was allowed in a car. The door handle was kind of visible but… not really a handle?!
So, I kind of put my hand near it in confusion and “bzzrt”, it came out of the door, allowing me to open the door. It was a cool experience.
Still not one I’d be ready to risk my life for, though.
The word “celebtate” fits the comment surprisingly well!
EDIT: The celebtation is over. Now were back to merely celebrating. Ah well, guess that’ll do.
In the video you can see that this didn’t happen in reality.
They can put anyone in the “detention centers” if they have suspicion that the person is illegally in the country.
Of course the person can show passport or other sort of ID, but the SA goons can just decide they never saw it. Then that person is an unidentified alien in a “detention center” and will stay there until they disappear.
Hm, I should have actually quoted just the sentence “I respect and appreciate Lend-Lease, I can’t tell if it saved the war” because that’s what I was actually referring to. Sorry :)
Because it is very clear that it did save the war. Having lived in Germany, Finland, the Russia, and Ukraine, I hear a lot of that “~Soviet Union~the Russia did it practically all by itself”, which is extremely contrafactual. And hurts the Russia, as they don’t understand what their “možem povtorit’” actually holds to it…
But, it does seem that you and me very largely agree about things, so all in all things are just fine, no worries :)
I respect and appreciate Lend-Lease, I can’t tell if it saved the war, but it certainly saved hundreds of thousands if not millions of lives by providing much-needed humanitary assistance in hunger-struck WW2 USSR.
Almost all of the trucks used by the Soviet Military were US-made trucks delivered through that lend-lease program. I would guess that the ability to bring fuel and ammo to the front did help the Soviet Army quite some bit!
It is of course possible they could have won bringing the ammo to the front with horses instead of trucks, but honestly – I doubt they would have made it.
And obviously you respect especially Belarus and Ukraine, because it was them that did the heavy lifting in that, as you already somewhat mentioned, right?
Ah, good point indeed!
Largely true.
But the ambassadors don’t really have the luxury of that. Their job is to represent the United States and they are required to generally support what their country’s leadership says. So, their job is to make some semblance of sense of what Trump is saying. Or, alternatively, they can quit.
Not just any random escalation, though.
The narcissist has a plan they are following their game. If that escalation is part of their plan, that’s is absolutely not how you deal with them. Escalate, by all means. But only in a way that benefits your situation.
EPA could absolutely just ignore the law when making regulations. It wouldn’t even need any congressional authority. It just makes the law and when someone sues them, the judge says “nah, it’s okay with me” and that’s it.
He’s saying “if _ _ _ and _ _ _, you’d be voting for him”. Would someone in USA, really? Do people really vote for that other guy mentioned because he’s a murderer and therefore seen as a hero?
To me the whole argument is absolutely bonkers. Both what the guy is opposing on the video and what he is demanding on the video.
Snowing isn’t possible without clouds, and clouds warm up in the same way a blanket does. It might be something like -20°C on a clear day, which is uncomfortable indeed, but a snowy day seldom gets colder than -10°C, might be more like -7°C or so. Not all that bad, really :)
