It’s so sus that our own defence has been dismantled for 20 years
Yeah that was a big fucking mistake.
Sweden is not like Finland where NATO has had an 80% support since Russia started their war against Ukraine. For understandable reasons – mainland swedes have pretty much never been at risk from Russia whereas Finland has no risks except Russia.
But I think still a good 60% support NATO, right?
If someone is confused: NPD are actual unashamed nazis. Nobody likes them in Germany.
AfD are populist alt-right creeps, but they are enjoying a >20% support in Germany. I find it unlikely that their funding will be affected.
But … they cannot just withdraw that money after they gave it to charity, right? The money isn’t theirs anymore.

Why is there no kind of information on how many Hamas operatives have been killed in this war? Is this because there’s no way to tell them from civilians? Does Hamas itself even know?
Which EV maker has a model whose range doesn’t diminish in cold weather?
Why would Belarus, a Russian vassal, co-operate with NATO? This doesn’t make any sense. Are they claiming an actual change in politics and an attempt to get away from Russian influence?
I think the calculation is pretty mathematical here. It just makes incredibly good geopolitical sense to have Israel in there, sapping the strength of all its neighbors.
It has been an incredibly successful strategic move. For the last 80 years, Near East has been directing their power struggles mostly inwards instead of towards Europe – like they often did before WW1. Given how Russia is being offensive against Europe, this would be a horrible time for Europe if Israel would fall.
There are a few things to consider.
She’s just 8, so you have an easier time controlling what she does (I say this with the experience of rising 2 children to adulthood)
She might not be susceptible to these things
You just might be a better parent for any arbitrary reason
So as an anecdote your situation is valuable, but as a guideline to how the whole society should handle this problem possibly not so much.
Do you really have nothing of genuine merit to be proud of? All you have is your thermostat?
No, that’s it. That’s my whole identity and existence. Spring is coming, send help.
From the River to the Sea, Israel will be free.
Ok, sorry for leaving them out. Americans and Brits cannot science.
I watched the first generation that got personal unrestricted mobile phones for themselves. Somehow I thought it was a good idea at the time. It fucked them up mentally, and then Covid-19 came and doubled the effect.
Now I think that a parent who gets their under 12 year old kid a smart phone should be treated roughly in the same way as if the parent gave the kid cocaine.

Ooh, ok. That makes quite a lot of sense. Especially if one uses the miles/km number to show battery state, people are gonna get screwed by the cold. I changed that thing to percentages pretty soon after I got the car.
I honestly don’t understand why people are buying EVs if they don’t have the option of home charging.
Yeah, that doesn’t make much sense.
I was initially confused but after remembering how Americans cannot science and 0F =~ -18C this made a bit more sense.
My Tesla worked fine through several days of -35C though, but the battery efficiency was a bit shit. I think I spent something like 6-8% just to get the cabin warm, but starting the car or driving generally speaking was never a problem.
