But… do you pay subscription for Steam that they can just jack up any time they want and there isn’t anything you can do about it other than straight up quit and lose all your stuff?

No. That’s why.

You think the entire populations of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were military?

Also, entire cities in Southern Germany were entirely wiped out. Munich was re-built from the ground up.

No, my comment was questioning whether a political party would bus protestors in to protest their own party, not claiming that there weren’t any protests at all.

EDIT: I was assuming these protests were happening for months. That said, I can see that they could be protesting the election results, so the time between the election and the swearing in.

Yeah except those protests were not astroturfed, just people with valid complaints.

And they were right.

Fair. Argentina’s politics are complicated. I was there in 2002 and remember groups of people sitting in circles discussing the political situation at the time.

I love Buenos Aires btw, hope things get better.

Uhhh… Milei’s been in office for what, a week? Are you saying the “Peronistas” were driving people in to protest their own government?

Well, except the article is about Paris and cars in the US are not small or underpowered… at all. Kind of a ridiculous statement, actually. The average car in Europe is much smaller than those in the US with a much smaller engine. For example, the most popular car in France in 2022 was the Peugot 208 with a 1.2L engine with around 74hp and a length of 4m, while the most popular car in the US, the Camry has a engine options ranging between 2.4L-3.5L, around 208hp and a length of 4.8m (almost 3’ longer for you yanks).

I mean, they have to be. European fuel prices are double or more and most countries/cities have proper transit and were not built for US size cars (or any cars for that matter).

I get the feeling you’ve never been outside North America if you think cars here are small.

Canada has a killer track record for housing dissident diaspora communities. Just ask India.

Holy shit. Jokes aside, if this is real it’s a damn shame. It’s actually insane that he would get killed for a scientific experiment. Why would anyone want to be involved in science in Russia if this is how they deal with failure? It’s no small feat to land on the fucking moon.

Not since Reagan was the president of the actors’ union in the sixty’s.
