Pretty randomly. I'm very picky about what I listen to, I'm very reluctant to listen to stuff recommended by my friends etc. I mostly stumble upon new stuff. Either I hear a cool song on a tv-show, like Golden Brown by The Stranglers in Clarksons Farm, or a collaboration with a artist that I already listen to, like happened when I found out about Têtes Raides through Yann Tiersen.
But me being weird about how and when I find music is a pretty pointless thing to talk about since I think most people don't do things the way I do. I'd recommend making a Last.fm account. Not only does it make lists of what you listen to, it has that "similar artists" thing. I use it mostly to have a list of stuff I've listened to, because I like lists. My last.fm account is the oldest account I have (now that google doesn't let me use my gmail anymore lol), I've had it since 2005. Its pretty fun to go check what I listened to in February 2007 or something. I can see where my teenage relationship breakups were, based on HIM being the most listened to artist of a month lol
Because people are arseholes, psychos and horrible creatures. Some people are just fucked up in the head. Like some people think that hurting a kid because they made a mistake is acceptable. Not everyone is a loving and caring person.
Thats why I cant use my google accounts anymore. No gmail, no youtube. Because they want my phone number. Fine, I'll use Freetube and Protonmail. Thats completely fine for me lol.
So I guess we've just completely given up on how to use acronyms and abbreviations. I've noticed that a increasing amount of people will just use them without explaining it, they just expect others will either already know what it means or will do a search and figure it out. As a non-native English speaker it drives me up the wall. I find my self asking what a acronym/abbreviation means at least once per week, sometimes multiple times a week.
I thought that explaining the acronym on the first use, and then using it as is was the common and courteous way to use them, WTF (what the fuck) happened to that, I do wonder.
The problem with your moronic hypotheticals is that Ukraine focuses on military and oil infra, they are not like russia and aiming at civilian infra.
And how about we let Ukraine decide what they want to do. If they want to keep fighting, we will support them. If they want to surrender, we will have to support them.
I recommend you take a history lesson before you suggest stupid shit like we appeasing genocidal dictators. I'm disappointed to know that theres stupid fucks in Lemmy as well. I guess its impossible to escape you guys.
The one thing FIA did correctly was not tither about the decision to cancel the russian GP and Mazepin's racing license when the 2022 escalation happened.
Though the fact that the russian GP happened at all when Crimea and shit was happening was a farce of its own... So +5 and -20 points to FIA for all that.
I'm glad to hear it. And I would be very glad if my pessimism turns out to be false. But I really don't have much hope anymore. I remember when the games were in Brazil and everyone was raging about how Brazil was cleaning up the areas with force and about the corruption etc... and then it turned out to be one of the most watched games (I may be misremembering this part but they were wildly popular).
Same thing with F1. So many people said they will stop watching because of all the Saudi, Qatar etc. races... But the sport is more popular than it has ever been.
But, I guess there is still hope. Trump has proven to be such a massive arsehole cunt that he might actually pull off a ace out of his shitty diapers and make the games be a massive failure. I really do hope that happens. But I'm a pessimist. Plaargh.
Do we have any examples where one nation vetoed something and it was good?
Like the opposite of Hungary using a veto to block Ukraine aid. Like Finland using the veto to prevent Sweden from exporting surströmming or some such thing
