USA is a very violent country, and I suspect you are right. Anecdotally the decades of refusal for stricter federal gun regulations indicate that very many Americans want violence.

There are lots of Americans I like very much. USA has some very exceptional people and many good people.
Unfortunately they are not the ones in power, and the ones in power are not just a little bit bad and a little bit selfish.
They are lead Trump who is a flaming malignant narcissist, with a White House filled with Sociopaths. It’s an absolutely insane government that doesn’t give a shit about causing harm or breaking up old alliances if they think they can profit from it.

As gravitas_deficiency wrote, the US government is forcing our hand, and we can’t treat USA like 2 countries, we have to treat it as 1 country. Last time with Trump we waited it out, but Trump has made that an impossible option this time. And the American people has made it an impossible option by electing Trump twice.

only if you believe Russia was a positive force once in its history.

I don’t, but they had a chance to change for the better when the Russian Federation was formed. And for a while it looked like they would, until Putin completely ruined it.

I know it’s not all American, but unfortunately we have to treat USA as a collective, when the collective is acting like an enemy.
I hope somehow USA will come to their senses, and not elect a raving lunatic again, after a period of sanity.

I am not, I was misinformed by what OP wrote to think we were talking about actors that were visibly 18+ years old.
I only later found out we are talking about Japanese cartoons, which traditionally have that child like look.
I absolutely do not condone sexualization of children.

Thailand should definitely be in top 10!

From what I have heard, that seems right.

It’s kind of sad to see all that potential Russia had after the fall of the Soviet Union go to waste.
But for now the worse it is for Russia, the better it is for the world.
And in particular Ukraine, who is a completely innocent victim of the insanity of Russia.

the US was never the champion of democracy.

True.

No Scandinavian countries among top 10?
That doesn’t seem right.

Jeff Bezos doesn’t want the Ukrainian angle to the war!
This reeks of helping the Trump White House with their anti Ukraine policies.

Fuck USA for not standing with democracy!
And Fuck USA for not standing with their closest traditional allies!
USA alone it is, at least for my part it is.

I’m talking about comes pre-installed

Apart from Steam not being a standard installed item, it is very feature full.
For 32 bit you also need to enable multi-arch.

But apart from gaming it is in no way bare and very very far from “super bare”. Ans Steam is pretty easy to install.

I did not say it was not great or popular.

You wrote it was mostly for servers. Which although it is an excellent server distro, it is most definitely developed at least as much for desktop use.

This is not the dunk you think it is…

I don’t think you really understand the implications.

Super bare. 🤣🤣🤣
Debian is probably Thee most supported distro with the most packages available.
Debian is also among the absolute best among Linux desktop options, and actually quite popular.
There’s a reason Debian is still the most forked distro.

Nazi Tyrant complains about not being allowed to be a tyrant.
I bet Musk finds that it limits his freedom that he can’t have slaves. The mans mind is so toxic and distorted, it’s astonishing it doesn’t kill him.

Absolutely true, but the problem for Russia is that they are destroying themselves too in the process.
And when this is hopefully soon over, the Russian economy will be worse off than the Ukrainian.
It’s absolutely horrendous for Ukraine to have to go through this, Russia on the other hand, they chose it for themselves.

Seems like Russia is determined to destroy itself, and they won’t stop until they are.

No there are not, most economists when invited to major news channels claim that we shouldn’t expect the Russian economy to crack anytime soon. Mostly based on official numbers.
But when evaluating the Russian economy from news we get from other sources, the picture is quite different.
The official inflation in Russia is stated at 7-8%, but some independent sources estimate it at about 15%.
We know Russia has financial problems, and companies are prevented from going bankrupt, banks are simply not allowed to declare the companies bankrupt! And these companies often can’t pay their workers. But how widespread is this problem really?
Russia is doing many nontraditional things to keep the economy going. And it seems like the “experts” lack the necessary knowledge and understanding about what is going on to give us a reasonable picture.

I predicted already a year ago that at this point in time, Russia would begin to have very serious problems, because of failing infrastructure and failing harvest and failing distribution and also failing economy of course. And the Winter could be the final straw that break the camels back. These anecdotes could be examples of what I was expecting.
The difference lies in how widespread these problems are, and whether they are also bad for the middle class and not only for instance pensioners, that for a long time now have been unable to manage without help from friends and family.

I follow several news sources that specialize in news from Russia (and Ukraine), And to say there are plenty good reports is very strange.
We know some things, like Russia has exhausted their national reserve fund, that they make only a fourth the profits on oil exports compared to 5 years ago, and the banks are very strained.
But the degree to which the bills aren’t paid is camouflaged in so many ways it is very hard to get a good picture, all we know is that it is a problem.

I actually feel really sorry for the career attorneys who make the representations in court on the political apparatus’ behalf,

Don’t, they are 100% part of the problem.

Why is this upvoted? It’s a completely unrelated story to the headline, and it’s completely unrelated to this sub

No, you can’t simulate 1 particle using only 1 particle.

Yes, I shouldn’t have written that, because that’s kind of moronic. 🤡
