Not if you already don't look at the keyboard while typing, plus you use multiple layouts

Nobody really expected global politics going down the drain as it does, either - just as South Park production stopped because there was no sense in parodizing reality when it's weirder than what they could come up with

In short:

  • In the beginning he won an election with supermajority, since than they changed election rules so it's harder to get them removed (rules favor the single strongest party, so they can be beaten in 1v1 only, but the opposition has several parties)
  • Many young people who had enough left the country, but it got harder to vote if you emigrated
  • They introduced a public work program that local mayors use to threat people to vote for them
  • Orbán realized that leaders in the EU stopped believing him, so he made new friends with Russia, Kazakhstan, etc
  • He uses the only power he has - he can pose as the leader of an EU county legitimizing these autocracies, and
  • vetoing EU decisions un favor of his New friends
  • EU was created with a good faith, a county cannot be kicked out
  • So the only lever they have is closing the money tap that would dry up his guild of thieves - that is happening right now

Wasn't that a phdcomics strip originally?

These are nice, but on the other hand there's the case where you have a limited time slot somewhere and windows randomly decides that it's time to update, pop up a window to upload your data to "the cloud", reboot, and bang, you're f*cked.

As far as I know there would be, it's just that nobody is using them that way

Where's enlightenment and windowmaker?

What I don't get is why anything these guys are saying makes the news. It's changing every day, and it's always a lie. They know it, everyone else knows it, it doesn't make any sense to write about it.

I don't mind bashing Musk for a second, but as far as I know China follows a startup mentality with electric cars - the government supports the industry so they can sell cars below their actual price, and once they killed all their competition they can increase.

There's no fair winning against this policy

I don't want to be the bearer of bad news but 1998 was 26 years ago.
