Could you link the vote you mentioned? AFAIR Poland blocked it several times, including in 2015 and 2021. I googled a bit and couldn't see any EU vote in which Poland supported Nord Stream 2.

No, they did it bilaterally (with Russia) because France didn't mind. This is the problem with EU.

It worked for Putin (see Nord Streams for example) so Trump wanted it too :)

> That kind of situation is already sickening, but the creation of fake nude images adds another layer of transgression. Wouldn't it make it less of a problem? At some point people will just assume all of the photos are fake.

Putin will die one way or another and Russia will have to exit the war and try to return to normal economy. Nawalny or another similar leader is their best shot at that. They created nadiezdin for a reason, they kept nawalny for a reason, t

Well he's murdered now. He was trying to position himself as "reasonable" during "Crimea is ours" euphoria, I'm not sure but I'd expect him to return all the annexed territories if he got in power after th

Russians actually believe both Majdans were CIA. Putin actually believed Ukrainians won't resist the invasion because all the protests were staged by USA. It's inconceivable to them that a civil society is a thing. NGOs in Russia

Now imagine 9/11 hadn't happened and USA invades Iraq after denying it for months. What would be the response of the opposition voters? :) In USA it's about 50/50 on almost every issue. It's nothing like Russia. In

It's not, and westerners who think they agree don't actually agree, they are just edgy. It's hard to even explain what it would mean to internalize this belief system. Let me try. We're you ever on an amateur IT conferen

The agreement of "regular Russians" is a very curious thing. From talking with Russians they weren't expecting or supporting a war with Ukraine even a week before it started. It was a western lie that Putin wants to invade Uk

It's also the reason going back feels much faster despite the fact you're exhausted and probably walking/biking slower. You know the route so you switch to automatic more often and remember less.

If smartphones were the root cause - it wouldn't diverge between USA and Europe. The insanity of driving trucks instead of compact cars in cities is a big factor.

What would actually happen is less suburbs and more cities connected with trains. Distance to the closest city decreases preserving the agricultural productivity, and the proportion of people living in the cities inreases - wasting less ene

Nobody argues against motorized public services. Over-reliance on individual cars and car-based urban design is the problem.

There's a feedback loop - if not for cars the population distribution would be different, and public transport would be more economical. BTW rural living uses a lot more energy per person and wastes a lot of time for commute. I don&#x2

Without cars these people would have lived near public transport or in cities where their companies are - potentially forming high-creativity groups of people that interact more often and are thus more creative. I find it very weird how peo

It's great classical sci-fi. Reminds me of Lem, Watts, Dukaj. Ideas and science matters more than special effects, action and characters.
