How dare they say anything bad about the greatest ally. Or anything bad about the you know which tribe

The plot thickens as the Romanian constitutional court just annulled the results for the first round of the presidential election. Now it has to be redone from scratch. While I still am suspicious of Georgescu, this is just wrong no matter which side are you on.

A candidate who didn't exist outside of TikTok influencers. And the guy reported to the electoral authorities his campaign had 0 funding. Yeah nothing suspicious at all, nor the fact that he was in all sorts of globohomo bullcrap like the Club of Rome and the UN that his supporters conveniently ignore.

The gypsoid Simion is unironically better than this guy

So it's not even a one-time payment, they continue to chase you for money for life?

The Netherlands saw that the IRS can get away with it so why not? Hell the IRS is even worse because foreign banks do deny services to american citizens/greencard holders because of FATCA.

Americans simply don't need passports in the same way Europeans often do.

Not even, most of europe is in the EU and you don't need a passport to go to other EU countries, just an ID card(Hell some non-EU countires do accept EU ID cards in lieu of a passport if you're just visiting).

but actually have some of the best consumer protection laws.

Sorry but Australia is the king in consumer protection laws and enforcement. The EU while it does have a set of consumer protection rights it's up to the 27 consumer protection agencies of the member states to enforce these. And who knows how interested the Fr*nch(where Ubisoft is HQd) are in enforcing the law against their big corps

At least one advantage of being a landwhale is that even your organs are worthless to these vultures.

Answer the charges and let the courts decide.

Putin didn't either, so he could very well just ignore the thing. The greatest lapdog already doesn't give jack shit about the ICC

Huh, the writing is slightly different and explicitly mentions you were banned by the devs. So maybe in OPs case it really was Valve's moderators and my comment is slightly wrong.

Sadly, it all comes down to who is in charge, and that's leftist Steam community mods.

Each game's community tab can be moderated by the game developers too. So it could very well be Bioware's DEI team doing overtime to keep the narrative. However unless you're banned from ALL community tabs in one swoop there is basically no way of knowing if you got hit by Steam moderation or dev moderation AFAIK

Yes, I know that's hard, but you can transition to Discover and American Express for most things. Do not fund your enemies.

At least you americans have other options. For me the only other option is to just use cash because no bank in my country issues anything other than Visa or MasterCard.

Steam was founded on the concept that piracy was a service problem, not a price one.

Back in the day the main reason was to undercut Sierra and other game publishers, and it was hated because why the fuck would you need an online connection to play Half Life 2.

Nowadays the philosophy behind it is indeed the one you mention, and the 3 letter stooges can fuck off

Muh Russia stole the election incoming

NotCreativeName 9 points ago +9 / -0

Give them a break, they're currently focusing their energies into stealing the 2024 election \s.

Russia is not able to rig elections in freaking Moldova

Oh don't worry, there were already indictments against citizens for receiving bribes to vote against joining the EU. So some fuckery DID happen, at least according to the Moldovan government

The big business in Romania, wants the cheaper labor of the Moldovans

This argument doesn't make much sense once you go to any big romanian city and see them filled with jeets doing food delivery and other service jobs(the only thing missing is them reconnecting with their lost "brothers" and getting into the euronigger trade). And it's not even going full force yet because businesses haven't reached the 100k/year limit for non-EU sla.. ahem workers, so I can see it become a LOT worse.

I’m interested in how that works - is it much like how NIrish residents can get it through having had previous generations of relatives in the Republic..?

If you can prove your ancestors(up to great-grandparents, or grandparents if they willingly relinquished it) had Romanian citizenship(which during the inter-war period, also meant being born in today's Moldova, some parts of Ukraine and Bulgaria) you're entitled to regain it. Though given the soviets' efforts to russify the region a sizeable chunk of the population is not eligible.

I don’t even know how Cyprus manages that (presumably they’re just not in Schengen?),

Cypurs is not in schengen and until the Northern Cyprus dispute ends probably never will. Not sure about how cypriot citizenship works in that circumstance, if it's more like Romania or more like the baltics(where russian minorities who didn't go through naturalization are granted non-citizen passports that bars them from any EU rights they might be entitled to if they had full citizenship).

If we're pragmatic about it Moldova joining the EU isn't worth it(even if you exclude Russia not approving it and troonistria chimping out) since most Moldovans have Romanian citizenship too and get all the EU perks the average Radu(mainly free movement to the western EU countries) gets with none of the drawbacks.

Weren't some studies published that all this "foreign aid" is just a giant grift that does more harm than good?

Why rise above savagery when whitey keeps dumping free food bought from their friends at absurd prices

Trusted flagers, if I read the law correctly, is a glorified moderator approved by one of the communication agencies(FCC for americans) of a member state. And forces companies to prioritise reports from them.

A. Nothing says the companies can't reject them for being frivolous

B. Companies can (at least theoretically) report to the approver that the "trusted flagger" is a giant faggot and only spams frivolous requests to at least get them suspended until they investigate themselves and find no wrongdoing

Of course, by the nature of how these guys are approved is completely nonsensical.

The titles don't matter that much as they can be all powerful or completely token on the whims of who actually runs the country. If you take China for example, Deng Xiaoping who was the leader after Mao was neither General Secretary nor President during his leadership.

Commies love to say "General Secretary" is because "president" is too bourgeoisie for them(though they will use this title abroad to seem more "normal").

I'm not even sure what Godot is, but it looks like a pixel editor?

It's an open source software for primarily making 2D games.

Can someone ELI5 the Godot thing?

Their X account posted some woke shit, people got mad because they do that instead of improving the engine, commie manager starts blocking users who complain, board starts defending the commie manager

honestly what pisses me off the most is how obsessed these nu-coders are with weirdo fucko package abstraction layers

And the worst part is, these fucko package abstraction layers are the perfect breeding ground for supply chain attacks. It only takes ONE packager to push a malicious update to a dependency and watch the malware spread like wildfire. Hell node-ipc did this before, by pushing an update that (I kid you not) if it detected you had an Russian or Belarussian IP address it would wipe the fucking computer and plaster ukrainian flags all over your computer/server's filesystem.

So if you used node-ipc or a package that depended on it(which you wouldnt know because everything has fucking nested dependencies), you got fucked.
