Actually rational take?? Holy hell

The country, meanwhile, is the uncanniest Mr. incredible, but instead of black and white, it’s orange and white (We love Fidesz)

This is flipping amazing. UX beats big corps hands down, recommendations are greatly innovative. One little thing: can we have a back button? It’s a bit clunky when I have to go to the top of my browser every time I go back from a post. Other than that, it looks great!

A web app is just a fancy name for a dynamic web page. Change my mind.

Here’s the way: look at the little “crack” on the middle of the plug on one side (the vast vast vast majority have one) – that should be facing down. I haven’t used a vertical plug in a while but I think it faces left there.

For the forsaken anguish of God, microUSB, it’s reversed, so crack up.

Well first a new voting system would be required because Orbán, after winning in an unproportional system, decided to make the system even worse. So now, even if he only gets 45-54% of the vote, the same exact 68% supermajority is guaranteed.

Zwischen uns.

No no, Orbán doesn’t want to be a dictator, he wants Fidesz to be the only party. You know this because he would hand over the PM post to Máté Kocsis any time and you know he would because Máté acted like a sack of shit in the pardon scandal.

But yes. The govt is bullshitting its way through being a dictator.

Hungarian here. tf??? Tbf, basically everyone here says “haha the western dollar-media doesn’t understand our government/people/culture und und und”. Even Opposition voters.

Also, Orbán is only the third or second worst option. We also have actual Neo-Nazis in parliament, thankfully not yet to AfD/right extreme FPÖ levels.

András is actually from my home town. I think that’s beautiful.

Exactly. As in “if I were you”.

Did this sad blob of cells just say that illegal immigration is an invasion? Did he just quote a dissenting opinion as a basis?

What the actual fuck. This sounds like something Orbán would do. Oh wait, they like the sound of that…

For young people, No. 1 is becoming pretty clear, although parents influence is a thing.

For a bit older people up to gen X, it’s “yeah sure but the opposition isn’t better” (which it is, but everyone is homophobic) or “playing two sides is smart” not realising how fucking cynical that is today.

For even older people, ie retirees, it’s that Fidesz ramps up retirement pay close to every election like a pet-owner playing with their dogs.

Note that what is now the Opposition had a speech recorded in 2006, where the party Leader, Ferenc Gyurcsány, openly said “We have lied through the last eight years” and “We fucked this [very vulgar version]. Not a little, [we’ve fucked this] a lot”. Orbán is obviously lying way more but he doesn’t say it out loud (Or is smart enough not to get it recorded).

If you want ice scraped off the pavement in russia, just write Навальный [Naval’nyy] on it.

And today I learned that people should joke around more with statistics.

How the hell did you get 0.5 cars going right on red? Did a car just plow through multiple houses between going straight and turning right at an intersection?

republic /rɪˈpʌblɪk/ noun a state in which supreme power is held by the people and their elected representatives, and which has an elected or nominated president rather than a monarch.

from one of those Oxford ones

Also any sort of privacy redirector, specifically to go to nitter instead of xitter, is a must have

Bypass Paywalls Clean is fantastic, need to install from xpi though

Yeah, they really should pop open one of those dictionaries – if they know what those are – and look at the definition of republic.
