In Kosovo the majority is Albanian so they would say Merkure.

So when faced with facts you just turn away. I mean, I’ll even concede that some of the member states didn’t hold elections and therefore, we have no statistics on them. Not every facet of your enemy can be unreasonably demonized. Not every element of Soviet life was as bad as you think, and it’s totally fair to say that the lower socioeconomic class was harmed by the dissolution.

In the aftermath of the dissolution oligarchs did dismantle a lot of the social security nets that existed and concentrated a lot of wealth.

I can just as easily shit on how Norwegian social security has been harmed by for-profit initiatives on the back of 8 years of Høyre and Frp rule.

It’s not revisionist what do you mean? It’s a very normal fact that is literally even easy to wiki.

I mean… the Soviet Union was illegally dissolved and as far as I remember, the people didn’t want the dissolution to happen. A lot of tomfooleries happened after that and many former soviet countries did lose protections for their least economically safe population.

This is not a defense of the Soviet Union, but dealing with the first statement you wrote.

I don’t particularly agree. Publishing is a tricky thing in the private sector, and we’ve seen a lot of scientific suppression by companies. Peer review literally requires the field to assess your work, and doesn’t end with the publication, but is a process that continues forever. Reproduction is a major issue, especially in fields proximal to mine (neuroscience , Medicine and psychology) and the whole process of open science with this type of review process makes it much easier to create papers that are reproducible.

The external influence is basically a given to produce science that holds up.

I installed PopOS this week. Let’s see if my experiment works better than this experiment from Microsoft.

Bro we got a lot of career politicians that have had their families intrinsically tied to our political sphere for ages. Also we have an insane revolving door of people being in politics and doing “lobbying” depending on the way the wind blows. There was also a bigger article with the actual stats on how often this has happened but I can’t find it. Anyway …

Bro spittin truth

Republicans and random democrats somehow saving the Biden presidency from missteps, cool cool.

Can’t focus on any useful bills, btw.

Fantastic adaptation. Finished God Emperor earlier this month and had a blast with this. I think most of the changes were good to remove the campy nature of Alia going full on demon baby.

So many beautiful shots, and it felt amazing to see the first sandworm scene for Paul look exactly like I expected it to.

Bravo

my sapphire brain instantly got braille ptsd

I got a samsung galaxy s23 ultra. Battery and stylus are dope, camera is fun to use, but it’s slightly too big.

If they are voting in the primary, I doubt they will skip the general election. It’s more than likely a reminder to the administration that their voter base is not happy with the current decision making. If they are protesting stuff like this, they are most likely D voters anyway (over 90 % of D voters are pro-ceasefire vs 53? % for the R voterbase.

Yeah, like the sad case with the teachers a few years back. Confirmed my personal view that Rødt and maybe SV are the only parties I’d like to vote. AP really betrayed LO and the teacher’s unions in general.

Should be possible to add to steam as a non steam game etc? Sucks to do it in a roundabout way, but yeah

Maaan can Serbia just recognize Kosovo and be done with it. The war was like 25 years ago at this point fuck off…

Honestly everytime I have to feel proud for sailing I dance like an idiot while the magnet links are being being pasted on the real debrid

Good job ifixit! This should be a cause for outrage. Pretending to support the right to repair while also softwarelocking repairs is not just two faced, but actively harming the consumers.

This is a farce how do they call the pen after all that lmfao

I went to lemmy and my up to 5 hour of reddit use on and off every day is reduced to literally 0.

Lemmy even keeps me more sensible with the use for some reason. Wins all around for me
