A far-right populist shocks Romania by heading into the presidential runoff
  • It's really more shocking to the media, who essentially ignored the guy because he was always trailing in polls. They all had him at 5% and then he suddenly shot up to 16% in exit polls and 23% in actual votes.

    The running theory is that the main party artificially boosted him through their votes to have an easier go in round 2 ( "vote for our candidate, not the extremist" ) and it backfired because they underestimated tiktoks ability to brainwash people.

  • I want to feel like a bad-ass wizard
  • Wayfinder. Recently discovered it and i've been having quite a bit of fun with it. It's a former live service converted to singleplayer/coop, so the story kind of blows. But it's a good ARPG - a Torchlight meets Warframe sort of thing.

  • In the context of the leaked Warcraft II remake, do you still trust Blizzard to produce good games?
  • I don't really expect anything good coming from them. To me the likes of Blizzard, Ubi, Bioware, Bethesda, EA etc are shareholder-driven companies, that stopped innovating a long time ago and now only produce and regurgitate the absolute bare minimum slop.

    I have been pleasantly surprised on occasion, like for ubi's Anno 1800, or blizzard's diablo 2 remake, but they're few and far between.

  • Detained in Romania, Tate brothers keep delaying court case
  • Not sure what you're fighting me about - I can tell you for a fact that we had local cronies ( in Cluj or Constanta for example ) get away scot-free after taking people's advance payments on new apartment complexes, never building anything and just delaying proceedings until the trial closed. Or politicians' sons that got away with vehicular manslaughter and DUIs simply because of influence. Now I don't know how much influence the tates have, but at the very least they could've hired competent local attorneys that know how to game the system. And the justice system here is laughably corrupt.

  • Detained in Romania, Tate brothers keep delaying court case
  • They learned from our local high-profile crooks that if you can delay proceeding for a couple years, the process ends. Or if you know people that know people you might get lucky and a judge retires, in which case the whole thing starts from scratch. Meantime they can continue to build their public image and pick fights with kermit or whoever on twitter. have very little hope that they will be prosecuted "to the full extent of the law".

  • French brand tops mercury contamination in Europe’s tuna.
  • Is it just that brand? I understood that they tested 148 cans accross 5 countries and they are all over the limit ( which, depressingly, is not related to the amount that the body can absorb but the average amount that was found in tuna at the time the rule was implemented )

  • Hungary: Orban compares EU to USSR, urges people to 'resist'
  • called on Hungarians to "resist" Brussels as they did Moscow in 1956.

    Imagine saying that while commemorating a Russian invasion, and while being best buddies with Russia who are again invanding another country! How he has not been egged or milkshaked yet is beyond me. Those poor bastards died for nothing, didn't they.

  • Serbia's president thanks Putin for gas supplies and vows he'll never impose sanctions on Russia
  • He said Sunday he expects criticism from the West of his conversation with Putin, but stated that “Serbia is a sovereign country which makes its own decisions.”

    He also thanked Russia “for providing sufficient quantities of gas for Serbia at favorable prices.”

    Ironic lol. Well placed paragraphs AP. And congratulations Serbia, you're on the path to achieve that greatest honor of overtaking belarus in becoming russia's top bitch.

    Still, I get why vucic is playing at both ends, Serbia is a hard country to run, and so far they've been ok-ish despite not having advantages like being in the EU, Schengen or the EEA.

    Belgrade’s nationalist authorities marked the liberation date with a display of the pro-Russian sentiment, with thousands marching through Belgrade waving Russian flags and chanting slogans.

    This I don't get though. For a nationalist government supported by nationalist serbs you'd think they noticed by now how russia treats their neighbors and vassals. If the russian border was on the Danube, you'd bet your sweet nationalist asses they would invade Serbia, because that's what russia has always done. They just take shit.

  • Scoop: Israel gave the White House its demands for ending the war in Lebanon
  • I wouldn't hold out too much hope for her. She will probably listen to her AIPAC overlords and will not stray too much from the policy. She might not be as bad as Biden the zionists still have a lot of say. I mean ffs, Bibi had the nerve to do a fucking tour of Washington, after months of pro-palestine protests on the US.

  • Russia to increase propaganda spending to historic high of $27 million per week.
  • That doesn't feel like much. In Romania the ruling coalition has been spending upwards of 40mil euro for "press and propaganda" every year since 2021. And this is in a country with an eighth of the population and 1/50 of the land surface.

    Edit: lol, it's 27 mil per week. Nevermind
