SPACE!

Best of luck to you. Looks like there are really nice farm grounds there to enjoy your own separate housing, workshop and animal keeping for personal use.

Not now John we gotta get on with this.

Oh no, not at all. First, you need to download the dependencies tho. Start with downloading more ram.

Tbh, uBlock Origin + brain.exe has been carrying the heaviest load for years for me. Windows Defender would catch 80% of the occasional slips where brain.exe wanted some risks, too.

Well, if you allow CELL to gobble up that one android…

Thanks a lot, this makes a whole lot more contextual awareness for the situation.

Thanks for the detailed explanation about publicly traded companies, but what I wonder is the privately owned ones being forced to sell out, if there is such a thing.

For example, lets say Proton is owned by a few shareholders or just one, and it is not openly traded unless the shareholders make personal agreements to sell out or anything like that. If Google came with a truckload of cash and told these shareholders to sell their shares to Google, can they simply refuse the offer no matter how big is the pile of cash or the benefits of the offer, or do they have to find a legal reason to keep their shares? I mean, even the question sounds stupid and the answer should be “yeah you can just keep your share and run the company however you like, as long as you don’t go public listing”, but with all the concerns about the buyouts talked all around this last few years, the premise looks like it is hard to hold out.

What is this buying out talked about something not escapable if not some legal reorganization is made? It has been being talked about other companies, too, and it sounds like if you have a form of a company, you can’t legally refuse monetary offers from someone to buy your company.

Is there such a legal mechanism that forces an owner to sell out if an offer is made, or is this more about proofing a company against CEO/shareholder personal sell out decision?

Is it hard to interpret running to Russia has the core benefit of not being extradited to the U.S. almost certainly, or at least with higher probability than any other country?

Me omw to risk catching a mindless bomb or a shot in the back to use the internet. Maybe if I’m lucky, I’ll have a chance to surrender without either happening.

Now bodies touch each other instead of just hands.

See ya, then o/

7h past or not, you can still edit the post to better convey the frustration part.

Whatever happens, happens.

Whistles away

What do you get if you multiply six by nine?

I really would love to feel proud about this as a Turkish citizen, or feel good about this as a person in this world witnessing this current instance of the continuous oppression and genocide, but I really have more doubts than these feelings when it involves Erdoğan and caring about human lives/rights or sincerity.

The move expands last month’s restriction on some Turkish exports to Israel, as President Recep Tayyip Erdogan steps up criticism of the Jewish state and tries to consolidate support among conservative voters at home.

The last part is the most likely part, because he is doing jack shit to alleviate the already abysmal living standards by meaningful approaches like utilizing taxes and national resources for people’s prosperity instead of filling his unborn grandkids’s pockets further down a millennium. Anything other than addressing this issue is just a smokescreen to goad disgruntled and hungry right-wing nationalists into voting for him again, especially after his party AKP’s crushing defeat in local governments and municipalities.

Besides, I’m sure he is lining up for another bribe into his pocket as he most likely did with his stance on the NATO accession of Sweden, which he similarly shouted and cried about cutting off monetary activities of PKK there for about a few months before timidly accepting a international-politics-wise verbal “okay we accept”, which was promptly called back after the accession was accepted.

Another likely and probably concurrently-running possibility is that he is sucking up to his Qatari sugardaddies, who as everyone knows house some of the high ranking Hamas leaders. Erdoğan has been forming very very close ties with Qatar in recent years, from mutual military personnel training programmes to selling ports, mountain assets, energy tenders, etc. at dirt cheap prices and long leases, to begging money when the Turkish economy he singlehandedly ruined heads to another steep dive into abyss every few months.

So yeah, it will definitely hurt Israel both in economy and reputation at some level, but don’t expect anything with sincere concerns as the reason behind Erdoğan’s actions.

And weapons form the US and cheers from Germany to do it.

Every time I see this meme, I just have a good chuckle. Not just because the flag, and the patrick and parachute visuals look similar, but also because of a Turkish saying: “Yiğidin malı maydandadır”, roughly translating to “Stalwart person’s possessions be in open/visible”, with the double entendre of both putting merit into being a transparent person and also meaning a sexual joke of not shying away from one’s genitals in slang. The slang meaning, for me at least, applies quite well in this situation.

This is the most wrong hill to die on.

We have a lot more problems with the English-speaking countries’ double standards on how they reflect or view anything about us. Like how us closing the Bosphorus to Russian and Ukrainian warships when the war broke out and the European internet dwellers calling us assholes or the rogue element of NATO, even though the action is completely lawful, actually an obligation by international law, and obviously very much in favor of Ukraine. Or how this time Tayyip didn’t bow down to the U.S. pressure for focusing on just declaring Hamas as terrorists as a distraction and show of unjust solidarity behind Israel when the latter, at those exact days, had started bombing hospitals, “safe” evacuation routes, ambulances and aid convoys, while all European leaders just did that and kept sending weapons.

The UN accepting the change and using it officially is one thing; it shows the acknowledgement in official capacity. Calling ordinary people to adhere to it is something else. People show this change willingly, by earning the respect through might used in service of justice and protection, tendency to make compromises on cultural connections, investing in beneficial and noble pursuits -or simply meritocracy in the basic sense-, willingness for mutual aid in both crisis times and in peaceful times. Just working up on trivial things like how other citizens call a country or how they don’t find our kokoreç to be up to health standards is just showing unwillingness for compromise or tolerance in even the most basic disputes while there are matters of human rights and international affairs to pursue.

Having this half-U.S. puppet-half-wannabe-dictator of a president is already putting us in between a rock and hard place. Don’t try to police people’s pronunciations while you should discuss how to find a solution for both of these.

Sorry if it sounds harsh or over the top. I just wanted to provide an (unsolicited but needed) explanation for the downvotes you take.
