The USSR committed horrible atrocities but they weren’t as bad as the nazies, obviously. No idea why I have to clarify this, I never even mentioned the nazies.
I have no idea why ML always jump to double genocide when anyone mentiones bad things the soviets did.
An ML not knowing what double genocide theory is is equally unsurprising. It’s the claim that the USSR committed atrocities to a similar scale as the nazies. I never even mentioned the nazies.
Many gulags were forced labor camps, also known as slavery.
Yea, the first link was just how people felt like a while ago when a lot of ex soviet countries were still struggling over a decade ago. That would make sense too, if an economic union collapses your country is fucked for a while. Like if the EU collapsed it would have even more severe consequences and any poll would give similar results for decades to come.
I don’t know why they would vote for socialism suddenly during the votes for independence. If Russia couldn’t do that with 60 years of killing, imprisoning, slaving and deporting political dissidents, artists, scientists, gays, jews and people not ethnically russian than a referendum for independence ain’t gonna make socialism happen either. I guess giving people the ability to vote was rather new but yea, it didn’t make socialism happen either.
True, if you wanna play games with really high requirements you need to cough up mu h more than 700 euros, I’m just saying the Steam Deck is better value than a PlayStation.
You mean the vote that was boycotted by 6 of the 15 soviet occupied countries due to how it was phrased among other things? There was no independence option in the referendum, just how should the USSR be preserved.
Also most of the Easter European countries voted to declare independence shortly after.
I was around 20 at the time and in one of the boycotting countries. We later had a vote for independence, I think the support was around 80% or 90%.
Except the bottom picture is Singapore…
Or a steam deck. The cheapest option for that is like a bit under 400 I think and it doubles as a PC while having a massive library of games plus emulation.
I’m not gonna do work to buy their games, I’ll just pirate them if they make it more annoying than buying.
Inflating money only loses purchasing power if it’s tied to the value of something else as I originally said. That was literally my original point.
And what do you mean by USD debt?
So what makes the stuff stores buy more expensive? Like you can create a chain of price raising as far as you want but ultimately it’s just someone deciding to raise prices and that creating inflation.
Again, only a handful of countries own US debt and I don’t even know how US debt interest rates are going to connect to inflation in other countries. Like China and Japan are the largest debt holders and their inflation is vastly different.
There are a handful of currencies backed by USD but most are not. I only know of Belize dollar, the Hong Kong dollar and the Dirham as backed by USD, as far as I know those are the only ones.
Do you think stores look at the inflation and raise their prices accordingly or do they raise their prices and inflation is calculated based on that? One of those is correct.
I don’t think the federal reserve is active outside the US. Also printing money was the cause of inflation when gold was backing the money, now the worth of money is only governed by what you can buy with it. Like you can double the amount in circulation but if no one raises prices there would be no inflation.
Yea, that’s what I did and mean by searching Steam. It’s probably not available in Estonia like every other Sony game.
I never heard of it and searching for it on Steam doesn’t give any results so I’m guessing it’s not even available here.
The article doesn’t mention how it compensates for different keyboards. Like wouldn’t different switches and wear change the sound?
Oh I have been banned from lemmy.ml like 6 times but only temporarily. Lemmygrad and hexbear just went for a permaban for just arguing with their users on a separate instance.
I got banned from hexbear and lemmygrad like a year ago without ever even posting in either community, just for arguing with some of their users under a post on lemmy.ml
Good luck to Ukraine in their special military operation to save the people of Kursk from the nazi government of Russia
Did anyone seriously thought carbon credits helped poor nations? The only purpose of those is for companies to avoid regulations and stick a carbon neutral sticker on themselves while fucking up the planet.
Claiming the USSR only sent fascists to gulags is ridiculous. Like a good example is my grandmother and her 6 kids, my mom included. The oldest kid was 10, a bit young for fascist. My grandmother and mom were the only survivors. My granduncle escaped that fate by hiding in the mines of kiviõli. Their crime was being jewish.
Also gay communities were regularly dubbed fascist for being gay here. Several Estonian writers and artists were sent to gulags as well. Jaan Kross for example was arrested by both the nazies and soviets and held in the same secret police building both used. Though he was later sent to a gulag where he was for 10 years.
