“CD labeling pen” They sold permanent markers with thin tips specifically for writing on CDs.

tja.

My name is Friedrich Trump (aka Frederick Trump) and I already did that and even had a nice hump.

Zelensky should have brought a carton of eggs to the oval office.

It got better, that time was peak responsibility.

The scary thing is - ignoring these protection guarantees kills nuclear non proliferation.

Ignoring Ukraine for now, with a few French nukes we don’t have enough in Europe to do nuclear deterrence. The US not being a trustworthy partner anymore and with Russia on our doorstep that means long term we simply need more of our own. I hate the thought, but can’t find a way around it.

Goodwill? Yes.

But as long as the US political system is as it is and as long it will only flip-flop between democrats and Maga every few years, there can not be any trust anymore.

The US proved to be an unreliable partner.

How can any other country go into any. negotiations with the US without knowing the US can changed what they do at any time?

There is no basis for a deal, anymore.

I read what happened, and after I knew I watched the video clip.

I’m still under shock.

The world is turning, this is an important point in history. I was in disbelief for a long time, but we Europeans can’t trust the US anymore.

This might be a good thing after all, we need to wean off the American teat and decouple ourselves. We need our own tech stacks, we need our own EU troops and we need our own whatever Nato once was.

We need to jump in and cough up the money to replace the Ukraine Support the US did.

I’m fucking afraid, the risk of
an even bigger war just greatly increased.

But whatever will happen we’ll never be able to trust the USA again, even if things get better there’s no guarantee the same shit happens again 4 years later.

The only rational thing is to isolate ourselves from the sick patient.

Being 55, I agree.

Some of them want to use you, some of them want to get used by you.

Batman is a rich man.

I imagine being in a date and my mind panicking and coming up with the Kamasutra first.

Tell your mechanic the indicator fluid is leaking.

Tesla just needs a new slogan or a good marketing campaign.

Something like:

Tesla - power by joy

Or “Kraft durch Freude” in German.

All that would perfectly fit the brand image.

Having a step dad from Buenos Aires, I’m offended you forgot Argentina. But they have their own kind of crazy MAGA there, currently…

Look, there’s president Musk and the first bro.

I shared the link to this to friends a week ago or so.

One tip when you have kids: If all the accounts are set up correctly as family accounts you can control playtime right in the settings. The PS will then log out the kids after (say) one hour of play automatically.

Using the PSN website you can grant an extension day by day. When my son had done his homework before playing I would regularly grant another hour. “Can I play more? - Have you done your homework? - Yes - No problem”

In the long run that conditioned him to do his stuff before playing. (And I did trust him, when he said he was finished with his work)

When you have kids it’s really worth finding out how to set that up. And it saved us sooooo many “turn it off now” discussions.
