Why are you like this?

I present to you, the Romanian equivalent of an ahegao shirt. I actually saw a guy wearing one of these the other day. I think I would have cringed less if it actually were an anime shirt.

I decided against posting this earlier, cause I thought it was kind cringe. But I changed my mind, cause I'm a bit pissed off by EU right now, so I'm gonna rant probably.

These are the results from the first round of presidential election do-over.

The guy in the first place is the "sovereign" "far-right" candidate, that took up the mantle of the banned candidate Călin Georgescu. AUR is a newish party, with a reputation of being loud and obnoxious. Not particularly bright either. George Simion is quite a fitting leader for them.

2nd and 3rd places are the pro-EU candidates.
Nicușor Dan ran as independent, although he was given support by the USR party (who basically back stabbed their own representative and party leader, Elena Lasconi, which came in 5th). He also used to be head of USR party, but they broke up at some point, don't really know.
The party itself is considered the "progressive" one, though they're kinda viewed as anti-establishment here, and they're not as well entrenched with the Bruxelles crowed as...

Crin Antonescu is the representative for the alliance of the old guard, the establishment, the main political parties with which EU is used to deal with here: PSD, PNL, and UDMR. UDMR is a minority party, of magyars (Hungarian minority), so it's not that big, but PSD (left-wing) and PNL (center-right... supposedly) are the big guns. They're the Tories and Labour of Romanian politics. And they've been eliminated from going in the second round.

However the second round goes, it really isn't what EU would have hoped for.
But for now, my bet is that they're gonna get the worst outcome for them. You see, I skipped talking about the 4th placed guy, Victor Ponta. The guy is a joke these days, but he ran on a similar platform to the #1 guy, George Simion. Which means... in round 2, most of his voters are expected to go to Simion. If you add the votes together, that's up to 5 million votes, or 53% of the total votes...

Not only has the pro-EU side been trounced, but the "sovereign" vote has actually increased since the cancelled 2024 election, when this camp had "only" 3.4 million votes.

Back in December, the pro-EU side still had a reasonable shot at banding together, uniting their forces and winning the 2nd round fair and square. Now they are severely fucked.

They can try to cancel these elections again... there's been a bit of mass media prodding to see how people would react to it. But there's nothing they can reasonably do that won't backfire immensely.

Right now, they may very well try to outright tamper with ballots and steal the election in the 2nd round. It has happened before, and even USR has been a part before of covering up some shitty business at local election level. But with this result, and with an even more disproportionate support of Simion in our diaspora (where they voted 60% in favor of him), it would be a figurative bloodbath if anyone even smells fraud.

This will be two interesting weeks for us.

Imagine how broken this movie has to be for it to end up being funny in German of all languages.
Cause everyone obviously knows Germans for their joyful humor. /s

Man... was I ever lucky watching the vod just in time. Also, fuck Sony so fucking hard.

I just realized that people who are old enough to vote might have no idea who Steve Irwin is... damn...

I.... am STEVE!

CHICKEN JOCKEY!!!

Damn... they fast.

I randomly got curious if any vtuber had their "birthday" during... this year's Easter... Now I'm wondering if any of these people know...

Give me one good reason why they couldn't have hired her for Snow White.

Highly trained professional!

I'm in utter disbelief... A Romanian grandma apparently read and reviewed Attack on Titans. The channel's name is literally "Grandma's reviews". It seems she's been reading all kinds of books. GRR Martin, Tolkien, Frank Herbert... some of the biggest names.

Man, was I ever wrong....
I assumed they would be using AI voices for these, cause that's all the rage now. I didn't try to open the video, cause who wants to watch some German thing. But no. They're voiced with Google's shitty TTS.
The one time I thought YouTube would be doing something somewhat cool, and they blow it.

YouTube is putting new features in I see. Pretty sure that's AI generated.

This is why I HATE the free software (or open source, or whatever terminology people prefer) fanatics. The point of GOOD software is that you DON'T need to stalk random forums to find notes for a potential solution to your problem. The point of GOOD software is that you don't encounter problems. FULL STOP.
You're not advocating for good software. You're advocating for people to torment and torture themselves with shitty, incomplete, buggy and messy software, just because it serves your deranged political views on computer code.

I take good software in whatever form I can get it, whether it's free software, open source, or proprietary. I'm not interested in bugs, I'm not interested to spend days having to configure things via text documents, I want software for humans.

This is so fucking cursed...

Accurate.
