The "Orange Revolution" was to keep the corrupt Yanukovich from power who supposedly stole the election, only for their guy Yushchenko to be so corrupt and backstabbing his allies that Yanukovich became president after him anyway.

In his final days in office he then pulled this banger.

This notorious fact of Ukrainian politics was instated by a president whose approval was in the single digits.

I'm in the same boat and so I find such charged characterisations pretty jarring. I at least appreciate people imagining a futurist aesthetic that isn't Silicon Valley minimalism, the "Society if" meme or grimy cyberpunk. I ignore any political programs that people tie into it.

I can only imagine how great that must have felt. As a kid I didn't like the beach at all, I found the sand annoying (anakin-padme-1) and it felt like a body show, which felt awkward and made me feel worse over how pale and skinny I am. And that's without any gender anxiety.

But in recent years I have nurtured a wish that my life and self-esteem improves to the point that I can have an experience like this too. It's become a kind of final proof of how much I would have grown as a person.

The term itself precedes World War 2, Raphael Lemkin coined it in the wake of the Armenian Genocide, I'm pretty sure.

An imperious golden bust of Musk stands nine feet tall outside the town. A plaque on its pedestal reads “ELON AKA Memelord”.

If we take this graph at face value (it's boxed in by the US party duopoly and the nost extreme young men probably weren't interested in a poll about their beliefs) it amounts to a political divergence between the genders and young men being relatively more conservative:

Gen Z men, Deckman noted, have “reverted to the mean of men”: while they’re not necessarily more conservative that most men, they are more conservative than their millennial counterparts.

French government ministers late last month called for the European Commission to immediately suspend the regulation on CO2 emissions from passenger cars, warning that it could result in billions of euros going to Chinese manufacturers and Tesla, “whose CEO Elon Musk is openly attacking European regulations and values.”

Bruh.

I came across this game myself recently and a few Steam reviews mentioned that the developers are from the Hong Kong diaspora in kkkanada and that the game was a metaphor for the events of 2019, which killed any interest I had in it.

I heard once that it gets so bad in November in large part due to farmers in Punjab and such clearing their fields by burning the dead crops on it, something like that. Is that true?
