You wish. Young people are far less likely to vote than older people. Sadly NBC is likely right.

For cargo capacity nothing beats a simple small business van.

Pickups are nothing more than a dick measuring contest that guys are desperate to justify to themselves.

Oof sounds like one employee there had a good idea (birds), but others were jealous and pushed to have multiple ideas and let citizens vote.

It's going to be birds, Karen. Stop talking about your beach and grains of sand.

Yeahhh that's not how diplomacy works. That's how edgy high school kids would imagine running NATO.

I can't imagine he's someone to strongarm. Nor would it be good for the alliance if members are forced into accepting things they don't want.

I'd imagine he got his desired concessions, or it was mostly just bluster for internal politics.

I wonder how bad it would be to just let weak companies collapse and weaker jobs disappear.

There's a bunch of dysfunctional companies and jobs that are mostly kept afloat by cheap money and parasitic behaviors. Would be interesting to prune the economic system and see if capitalism flourishes again.

Don't threaten the US with a good time.

Those are unusually low numbers. Did the Ukrainians take a day off? Were the artillery crew preoccupied watching Wimbledon? Or is the Russian army literally out of material?

Loeb is a nutjob. He'll claim anything is proof of alien life as long as it gives him media attention.

The idea of extraterrestrial life has been commonplace since the 1600s. Since then, there's been many waves of belief-disbelief in extraterrestrial life.

This won't be anything new for Christianity to ponder, and they'll have plenty of theological material to fall back on.

Likely around 8k-10k in total. So they're likely over 50% attrition on their primary means of warfare.

And keep in mind this is artillery destroyed; they will also have lost a lot of artillery through wear&tear, and have used up artillery pieces as spares for other artillery pieces. Plus they still need sizable reserves for the defense of their massive country.

Russian military is moving towards complete ruin with the war in Ukraine.

Meh it's missing a lot of QoL. It would have been nice if Lemmy had 'default subs' just as reddit did. Perhaps there are some Lemmy instances that do this?

I find it very hard to find subs to subscribe to (overview of existing subs is terrible), and the subs I did find are much less active than on reddit (even compared to smaller subreddits)

Plus the app I am using (wefwef) is clunky in its design; collapsing comments is clunky, downvoting is somehow ridiculously hard to figure out, and there is no consistant 'back' navigation item (switching between the android back-button in the bottom, and a cancel button at the top, without any consistency or logic)

Overall: if reddit would come back online tomorrow, I'd go back in a heartbeat. It's like the Lemmy developers are filled with IT people and lacking in psychologists, sociologists and UX experts.
