    I was just about to get to the point of asking it in a post here, which would probably be removed, since it’s not aww material.

    I wonder if people know how counterproductive this is. If you need to explicitly add that your content is not AI then we’re in a sad little reality where everything is fucking AI otherwise. Even though it clearly says in the rules

    AI posts must be labeled [AI] in the title and are limited to one per week.

    Can we just fucking stop making AI sound default now?


  • Except the polls are showing a much more and consistent opposition lead, and discontent is much higher now due to many factors (but in my opinion it’s mostly the economy, highly affected by global economy).

    I’ve been thinking of similarities as well: his daughter & family suddenly moved abroad back then, as well, and some institutes were getting ready for a regime change, similarly to this year. However, this time it can be seen in more places, and there has been a scandal about every other day in the past two weeks.

    I’m aware of the hopium effect, and they might as well keep their position (although more likely not with 2/3 majority anymore), but as things are at the moment, if they still get some serious majority then it can only be because of their shady business around the elections: bribes, blackmail and assistance from Russian political actors who have had influenced other elections before.




  • He (and his party) has amassed shittons of government money, funneled them into private equities, made a rule about not having to publish what happens to that money, and used it for whatever the government wouldn’t be allowed to. One of his cronies (none other than the ex leader of the National Bank and the minister of economy) was reported to have moved an astronomical amount of valuables to Dubai in literal containers. He also replaced basically everyone in important institutions with his bootlickers.

    Just because Orbán gets removed from his seat, it doesn’t mean he still won’t have near infinite wealth and influence to try and get back as hard as he can.






  • While I still eat meat occasionally, I try to choose vegetarian/vegan stuff when I can. I have only tried one chicken alternative plant based something, and while I could definitely tell the difference, I really don’t mind it: it’s tasty, even if in a slightly different manner.

    What I can totally switch to without skipping a beat is Beyond Meat “beef” patties. At least the ones I had back around 2021.

    Back when I was a kid we raised our own chickens, so I’m still waiting for a proper substitute, but I haven’t tried everything yet.
