I had to try so hard to contain my laughter.

I get that it's probably satire, but I still think it's too cringe to be left alive.

TFW you see a post so cringe you want to block the person outright.

Stop, drop, and roll.

It's been many years since I've used Mint. I never really felt comfortable in it. Felt like I was using archaic software. Like using Windows 98 when even XP was nearing it's end. Didn't help that their repositories were getting old and the Wine version they had was useless.
That was when I moved from Mint to Xubuntu, and it felt miles ahead.

Can't say I disagree with anything here, but this merits some discussion: "but they still want to keep disarmed populaces."

There are probably 2 main things that lead to this.
1) it's a historical thing. Populations were clearly disarmed during communism, and indoctrinated to hell and back, so you simply have a problem of people not even understanding what human rights are, let alone be able to comprehend gun ownership as an extension of the right to self defense.

2) it's a general culture thing. Romania at least doesn't have the issue USA has with rural households being stuck in the middle of nowhere, with no police in sight. Our rural communities are either so well tight knit and peaceful that you don't really have much of a crime problem (it's hard to be a thief when everybody knows you and your family from 3 villages away), or if there is a potential of crime, you'll probably have a police station at walking distance.
And I highly doubt the situation is that much different in other Eastern European countries.
As for urban environments, you do get more crime, but still not enough violent crime to where people feel the need to be constantly armed.
The stereotypical gun owner over here is either a rich ass hunter, for his yearly wild boar hunt, or a gypsie mobster.

By that reasoning we shouldn't provide Ukraine with financial or weapon aid, but we do. There's no obligation, but NATO members could still have decided: "ok, we're stopping this" if they wanted to, just like they've decided: "we'll just give them some money and weapons so that no one can accuse us we didn't do anything".

@icedquinn @beardalaxy
I'm strongly indifferent towards Ukraine. I don't hate them, I have no ill will towards them, but I'm not necessarily crazy about them either.
Still, I believe Russia's invasion is a great injustice that is being done to Ukraine. I think the morally right thing to do is to help them, but I don't believe just giving them money and our old weapons is actually helping them. Basically I think NATO should have either gone guns blazing with everything to scare the shit out of Putin, or shut the fuck up. I don't see how this half-assed approach is doing Ukraine any good. If someone did the numbers, I bet less people would have died if no one helped them and Putin managed to make them kneel in a week.

WHY DO YOU KEEP DELETING THIS POST! This is the third time I'm trying to reply to it!

In any case, yes Jews are awesome. I keep trying to tell people this, but so few of them believe me. It's really sad.

Moldova has been independent from Romania for decades, so once again I'm baffled... Maybe they've issued some new declaration I hadn't heard of, but doesn't change anything. We've always acknowledged them as a separate nation.

As for relocating... I have no knowledge of any significant Russian minority on Romanian borders ever since WWII (when there would have obviously been Russian soldiers). Maybe gypsies did migrate from Moldova here, that at least sounds plausible.

As for the win-win cause no borders with Russia... a lot of us are still hoping for some kind of consensual unification with Moldova, although on bigger time scales. The current cope is that we will be unified via the EU. In either case, if you think Moldova is much of a buffer, unified or not, you're mistaken. And considering Moldova is still full of politicians who favor Russia, it's not exactly the most stable of buffers.
We really don't place our faith in Moldova preventing Russia from fucking us up. Our only hope is pretty much that NATO does what it promises, and we constantly try to get americans to reinforce their military basses on our territory.

I love that people here keep giving the benefit of the doubt to Russia. Interesting to see fedi not being dumb enough to believe western propaganda, but still stupid enough to believe Putin propaganda.

Not exactly sure what Moldavian agreement you mean.
