  • I have mixed feelings about this. On the one hand, this pretty much confirms that the leading parties have been colluding to manipulate elections. The ideal situation would have been him getting his ass whoopped by being voted out. On the other, there was a non-zero chance that he might actually have won.

    Either way, the shitshow is not even close to being over. These parties make up 32% of our current parliament, and they’re likely to grow after this stunt, so we’ll have to deal with this crap again during the next election cycle, or sooner.


  • This is so sad. I thought the whole paper mail infrastructure was essentially eternal due to its importance.

    Letter numbers have fallen since the start of the century from 1.4 billion to 110 million last year.

    110 million is still A LOT of paper letters. Shame the service will be gone.

    PostNord has weathered years of financial struggles and last year was running a deficit.

    Again, I thought this was a national strategic resource, regardless of profit. Over here in europe’s armpit the national post has been running at a loss for nigh on 40 years, and it’s still kept afloat, for better or worse.




  • Can’t say I’m surprised. There were credible rumous that the US pressured our gvt to release them. Word on the street is that they “traded” handing these two over in exchange for the US shutting up about the arrest of the russian puppet candidate. These both happened in the same day, so there may some truth to that. Honestly this wouldn’t feel like that bad of a deal - one manchurian candidate for two instagram pimps. It’s immoral, cowardly and corrupt, but these are the times we’re living in.

    Just remember this every time a US official blabbers stuff about other countries’ election interference.











  • Wow, leave it to redditors to make change without actually making change. A few of those subs had open discussions on instituting a ban and they discovered x links were in the dozens per year. Musk is definitely gonna feel that. What they should have done is ban all twitter images as well, those fuckers make up 3/4 of posts on /r/popular. Or ban/restrict musk news, because it feels like the remainng 1/4 posts are “news” that cover musk, including dozens of discussions on whether the nazi cheated in fucking videogames or not ( same as here come to think of it ). But no, they’re addicted to those and unable to make meaningful changes, so they’re left with these halfcocked “bans”.




  • I’m loving the balls on studios. Yesterday we had “experts” suggesting it might cost 100 bux, and today it’s already the beggining of a trend. And the game isn’t even out. In fact, we only have the trailer for the game and they’re already predicting prices.

    My prediction is yes, they’ll ask 100$ and more, and yes, people will pay it.

    But the nerve, I swear. “Yeah, our games have gotten sloppier every year. And yes, we fired tens of thousands solely for profit reasons. But line must go up, so you better start paying”
