That is indeed sweet, the rest about this timeline is fucking insanity though 🤪

@SuperDicq @kaia
Not mine either — mine can barely move the flaps of their fans (one of them even start with "fan error" unless I blow into its exhaust hole😅), if there was a way for them to run hot, they'd be fried by now.

@urlyman
Centrist parties in Europe indeed fail to deliver — and at times fail to act at all — this is reality, and I can fully agree with that. People get disappointed and this pushes them to the open arms of right wing populists, that is also a fact. I just don't think that these parties not being left enough is the problem, and I also don't believe that labelling everyone who is more conservative a Nazi helps fix that.

@urlyman
This point usually boils down to "centrist parties in Europe today fail to deliver, therefore centrism is wrong", in essence it's the same as USSR was an utter failure (that I can tell), therefore the Left are always wrong. Indecisiveness is not some intrinsic quality of centrism, nor is taking the middle ground — it's about making decisions, no matter where they lie or are perceived to lie on the left-right spectrum. At least it is to me.

@urlyman
But the article does not condemn centrists, "Now, in saying this I’m not damning all centrists". It criticises the inability of centrists to act and reinforces that with real and historical examples — which I can neither support, nor counter as I'm not British. The only thing I can tell is that Labour is the least sympathetic entity to me — that does not mean I would support the likes of Respect and it does not make me a conservative.

I'm not sure how this article would fare being automatically translated, but I doubt MT would ever do it, and I'm just a lazy ass enjoying my beer so I'm not up to the job either:

In any case, THIS is the true crime of Stalin — I hope after Russia crumbles, a public lavatory would get erected on top of his grave so people would be quite literally shitting on it!

@itsmeholland @urlyman @aral
True. But at least that is what I do being a centrist — centrists aren't some guys who have headquarters telling them what to do at least not in my case.
I often see people proposing or supporting things that seem good in current context, and they do it in good faith — but they often don't seem to realise the challenges that come with it. We have to act carefully — it's a long game, that's what being a centrist is for me 🤷

@urlyman @aral
The message is not about standing in the middle, just letting the good guys win isn't enough — "good guys" tend to turn bad overnight when left unchallenged — it's about keeping the system of checks and balances in place — no matter how much you like the ones who come to power. Yes, this involves giving voice to those you might not like, but it might suddenly become relevant when "good guys" at the helm suddenly turn bad.

@newt
Also, now that I think of it — outside our "being a rascal" game — you can genuinely borrow chicken eggs from your neighbours and not go to the store. They probably wouldn't even mind 😄

@newt
Is IVF still an option? 🤪 Oh, shit — I mean finding eggs in neighbours' fridges and putting them into yours?

(No we do not call that "stealing eggs" on here)

@Merc
Were you given the genes of a cluster lizard? 🤨

@kaia
Miles Davis — Bitches Brew
Check it out — it's complex enough if you enjoy classical music, even more so.
Then… one day you will find yourself enjoying hip-hop like I did. Give it a try — really widens the horizons 😅

@lain @kaia
> Maybe it’s different things altogether.
I believe they are! It's not ungrounded, but IT people ≠ autistic people 😂
Among the former there are lots of those who are self-diagnosed to be the latter and at the same time, probably due to higher salaries — there are lots of those who cosplay they do not belong to the latter. It's really skewed 🤪

@nyanide @Fash-E
Isn't it some kind on anniversary? 🤔
I've never even played HL2 (hate Valve), but it was on the news.

It's like Florida, but the whole continent 😂

(OMG, it's indeed Florida, but truly autonomous — scary 😨)

@schnedan
Oh, man, come on, of course it will — EU is *CONCERNED*!!! 😱
