Imagine having a choice in an election.

US vote rules were updated last time in 1965, here rules change before each election, usually 3-4 month prior.

I noticed recently that they stopped publishing 23:59 laws. You know laws which are published on the official website one minute before midnight, and they are valid from the next day. I dont know why they stopped, maybe they did this because it was during a state of emergency?

Migration emergency is still ongoing since 2015, last time they extended until 2024 sept. We had covid emergency and inflation emergency as well. I think the "there is a war in a neighboring country" emergency is still ongoing. I don't know because the "WAR" billboard ads were replaced with "join the army" and "Orbán is PEACE" ads, I dont know if they are related to this

Lol they have debates there, in television. We had debates, last time it was in 2006.

I'm looking forward to the 2026 elections, its possible that something will change, lol

Before the EU election each opposition party got 10 minutes to speak in the state television. This was an improvement from the 2022 election, they got only 5 minutes each that time. They cannot get any other screentime between elections.

But because of my work I met with guys from Tanzania, and some were coming from some *stan, (maybe kyrgiz? I dont remember) so I know from them that it could be even worse

It's the circle of life

Be the change you want to see.

But a meme fits better within food and random images than news about war and politics

amogus

I live in an even shittier country with even worse future prospects, so for me they are still positive messages, and i'm in ave that they are on a totally different level on the maslow pyramid

You could only get some French out of me with a gun pointed at my head... It actually happened to me...

The best part of this ad, is that there are no lies in that. Advertises a VPN with a legitimate usecase, instead of deliberately mixing up https and vpn features.

London vs City of London

I've never seen one. Can you link an example? I want to see good ads.

This is the first time I hear about this guy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_Riel

"Marrsi" sounds like "Merci" in French, meaning "Thank you"

Thank you for notifying me about the end of the transcription, so I could stop reading at the perfect moment, and I didn't got accidentally too much information. But for even more clarity I recommend an RFC 4716-like formatting, something like this:

---- BEGIN TRANSCRIPTION ----
Image transcription: a pair of black fingerless gloves 
with the Internet Archive logo on the backs.
---- END TRANSCRIPTION ----

Good bot

Are you really a bot?

They wear out if you write data on them, reading doesnt matter. if you just need them for install, you just write once and you can install the same arch on millions of computers

On Russian warez sites the button says CKATA or something like that, that's the only word I can recognize in Cyrillic.

The Hungarian word for turtles (both land and sea one) translates to "frog with a bathtub"

Ass-man of Szeged, in Hungarian 'Szegedi Picsaember'. He wears very-very tight jean shorts. Even during winter.

Here is an article about him: https://444.hu/2013/05/03/holgyeink-es-uraink-a-szegedi-picsaember

One of the writers is not native English speaker, maybe she chose the word? Here where I live we use the word pejoratively for circlejerk gatherings like this one, maybe it's also common in other parts of Europe.
