You certain? He's a fairly small person at around 170cm. I consider myself short at 173 and I was always near the tail end of the roll call at PE, sorted by height descending (it's an eastern block thing).

I get that it's a dig at the orange turd, but...

Either way, I don't think Zelensky has any self esteem issues.

Since at least 2006, possibly earlier.

There are tons of protests.

What's your beef here? Some personal vendetta against Hungarians? You missed out on cheap Lake side property around Balaton or something?

Hungary is not the Orbán government.

Just stay close to the border and slip through when they will start interring other Asians.

Come up north.

If it's a free market within the country, the vaccuum created by the wealthy leaving will be filled in by smaller business servicing the same industries.

Big corporations that have wealth concentrating with the top brass and share holders do not add anything of value to the market over cooperatives and other worker owned incentive structures.

Sensationalism.

  • The woman had a car-sick two year old on her lap in the driving seat.
  • The woman was still driving the car herself.
  • The toddler was not steering the vehicle even if they had their hands on the steering wheel.
  • The woman was not driving fast. They were just driving to a fast-food restaurant.
  • The woman was not driving to the fast food restaurant because the kid was sick.
  • The woman was texting and driving.

So there's really two egregious things here only:

  • child not in their seat
  • texting while driving

Based on the headline and first paragraph I was imagining a scenario where the toddler was driving the car with auto-pilot on while the woman was on her phone playing Balatro.

Edit: re-reading the German article, she was indeed driving to a fast food restaurant because the kid didn't feel well. Understandable though. Döner withdrawal symptoms are life threatening.

Not unrelated at all, I've been doing the same for my kids, playing rainfall or boat creaking for my kids on YouTube music to their boom ox via BT. They love it and fall asleep to it quick.

Our grandchildren will learn Chinese, lol.

I doubt this will happen to our grand children, or even their grand children. China has a receding population, losing 100m(!!!) between 2025 and 2050 alone and projected to accelerate further.

I suspect instead it will be a mix of English and the service industry dominating Hindi, or "Indianish" (English spoken with all its Indian quirks?)

The kingdom itself the centre of the world. OP meant that because it's called "Central Kingdom" or something, he imagined it to be at the center of the world.

I see it as a win-win. I only have to open the app for a bit while on the loo. I don't give a damn about hemorrhoids, this is my shitposting time!

Pre-sleep bedtime screentime is now reserved for Balatro (likely equally terrible to social media feed) or light reading (probably miles above those, but pales in comparison to paperback).
