Yup. I think Șoșoacă is a complete joke of a person, but that decision was absolutely atrocious. At this point, you might as well straight out admit that EU is a fascist superstate, and all speech against EU government is illegal.
You can't possibly say about a state that it is independent if it is not allowed to decide on what alliances it makes with other states, and how can a state make those decisions if the elected politicians are not allowed to have opinions about such alliances?
>but it's in the Constitution, and the president is required to ensure the Constitution is upheld
Yeah, and the Constitution can require change and improvements. The president is also required to able to be smart enough and competent enough to recognize if that's the case and issue recommendations.
We don't elect politicians to blindly uphold laws put into place years or decades ago, we elect them to be able to change things when it is needed.
Instead, the Court basically forbade politicians from ever looking to improve the fundamental law.
What a fucking joke...

I'll be honest, I don't remember exactly how it was taught to me in school, but I think it was more of a "this electron bumps into and pushes the next electron over, which bumps and pushes the next one, etc".
@nugger @VD15 @Jens_Rasmussen @themilkman
That makes it about 1% more cool.
It's hilarious to see how foreigners deeply misunderstand the political situation in Romania, and how transparent they are in trying to use Romania's shit for a propaganda video against EU. And a bad propaganda video at that.
Some Indian sounding bloke is trying to convince the world that a single Court of Appeal ruling against a decision of the Constitution Court has any merit.
To put it in a context Americans can understand, it's the equivalent to how your courts tried to control how Trump conducts immigration policy. Basically the Appeal Court has no power over the Constitution Court. In fact, no court and neither any other state institution have any power over decisions made by the Constitution Court, just like nobody has power over what the US Supreme Court decides.
And in fact, by the time this stupid video came out, the decision of the Appeal Court was already overturned, and the judge responsible for it is being investigated by his peers (a council of other judges that we have as an official institution) to make sure his decision wasn't influenced by corruption or political bias, or something like that.
There's a lot wrong with what happened at the end of last year, and this year, in Romania, but doing bad propaganda, and trying to use our country for your right-wing grift against EU, isn't helpful.
It serves only to discredit the people here who are upset with the cancelling of an election without a valid motivation, and evidence to back up the reason.
There's still the potential of a foreign cyber attack, or some kind of EMP disturbing the network, but the government will NEVER admit to it if it is the real cause. Best evidence for an attack would be if authorities keep saying they don't know the cause a few months after this.
They're not gonna admit that green energy left the energy grid unstable and caused this either. But if this is the cause of the blackout, you can expect the government to silently take measures to reinforce the grid, measures that are designed specifically to address this weakness. And there will likely be non-governmental providers and investigators that will be able to prove it over time.
So basically, I think people will need to be patient for the truth on this one, but also be careful not to forget about it, and allow their government to escape scrutiny.
Best and most reasonable explanation I've heard so far for the Spain blackout.

Cool story bro.
So quick question, why are we allowing the CCP access to work on the biggest OS that powers so much of the western internet infrastructure?

@maxmustermann @reddit_lies
Yup. Also completely invalidates their research and the whole purpose of these bots in the first place. They tried to argue that the bots were good at changing people's minds, but what they were doing in fact was reinforcing people's belief system.
But what can you expect from social scientists. They can't even formulate their experiments right.
@reddit_lies @maxmustermann Reminder that the AI bots were "changing" the minds of Redditors by using far-left rhetoric. Basically they programmed bots to be even more radical-left than Reddit is. Good job Zurich!
What they did was the equivalent of me going to a Poast user who says Jews control America, and telling them "no, you're wrong, Jews control the entire world!", and then the Poast user "changes his mind" and says "you know what, you're right, Jews do indeed control not just America, but the entire world".

Are you suggesting decades of feminism hasn't encouraged women to be just that?
@Alex @VD15 @Jens_Rasmussen @themilkman
Yes. This is pretty basic stuff. 6th grade, so about 12 years old stuff.
@Jens_Rasmussen @VD15 @themilkman
Whatever nation you're from then, has a shit education. This is not something hard to teach or understand, and it's not something you just forget once you understand. Doesn't matter how long ago you last had physics classes. It's been as long since I had them too. And I'm not some physics major either.
@Jens_Rasmussen @themilkman
I'm constantly stunned of how bad the American school system is. How do you not know this? @VD15 already posted the answer. It all depends on whether you tie them together in parallel or serial. In the picture, you see that the batteries are attached in serial, thus increasing voltage. 8*1.5v=12v.
@KK954 @BasedLunatic
You're literally just using different words to describe the same thing I said.
You don't go out on a three hour date with a fling. You meet him in a club or a pub, see that he's handsome and you immediately go and fuck him.
And I already mentioned about the guy on the left that he doesn't look like someone obsessed with lifting. To quote myself: "when they think about someone they want for a long term relationship/marriage, they will pick the guy on the left, who is still decently fit, but looks like he'll do other stuff with his life other than lifting weights, so he's more likely to be a good provider."
@icedquinn This is scary for how true it is. Jesus...
@LukeAlmighty
Before 2015, I consistently used to rewatch the original trilogies every couple of years at most. I don't think I've watched any of them since 2015. What Disney did just put me off from rewatching them anymore. Even if they put them in theaters here, I wouldn't go and give Disney money.
