How TikTok Fueled The Rise Of Romania's Far-Right Presidential Candidate Georgescu
  • Romanian here. In surveys, it seemed like he was just another independent. It looked like another year of PNL vs PSD (natinal liberal vs social democrat).

    Calin Georgescu had a lot of publicity on tiktok. I don't use that app, so i had no idea, but the man has nearly 300000 followers on tiktok, which is enough people to go from 2nd to 1st in a country with only 9.2 million voters, and a pretty close election.

    At the same time, a lot of kids (mostly 14 and over) are now begging their parents to vote for the other candidate to make if to the 2nd round of voting, Elena Lasconi. She is backed by a small party, and is more or less just a puppet, but it beats mandatory army.

    The candidates from PNL and PSD, by far the two biggest parties, got angry and just quit. Marcel Ciolacu was the first presidential candidate from PSD to not reach the 2nd round of voting.

    The way I see it, all the candidates this year were shit, but this asshole's by far the worst.

  • How to spend less rule on YouTube??
  • I had the same problem 2 weeks ago. I uninstalled it. Fixed it. If you don't want to uninstall, set a timer for 0 minutes a day, if you have that feature.

  • All the other brands went along
  • It's beautiful.

  • That's pretty cool

  • Netscape browser is back... as a shitty Chromium fork.
  • It's actually owned by AOL, which is owned by Yahoo. So you get tracked by Google, Netscape, AOL, and Yahoo

  • How to get away from owning a smartphone
  • You're probably right, I've only used old nokias with symbian, so I wouldn't know.

  • How to get away from owning a smartphone
  • There are kaios phones, which are basically very weak smartphones (like 512 mb of ram weak) that run kaios, which is android. They perform poorly enough that you wouldn't want to use for social media, and you can run whatsapp on them

  • Tapeworm rule
  • Damn, if only...

  • Can you recommend a pirate minecraft launcher
  • Alright so, TLauncher is owned by a big bad Russian company, buuuut they were a pillar of my early-ish childhood thanks to free Minecraft, so yeah, your choice.

  • What was your last refund? Why did you get your last refund?
  • The crew 2 was $1 on steam. I use linux. The game has anticheat :(

  • Bystander shot in head as New York police tackle fare-evader
  • Tom Donlon, the city's interim police commissioner, ordered a full investigation but added: "Make no mistake, the events that occurred... were the results of an armed perpetrator".

    These spineless fucks can't even admit they shot two innocent people, one in the head, for, like, $3. It's not like the guy with a KNIFE could have shot them .

  • Youtube or Spotify?
  • Tidal is actually THE highest paying platform for artists if I remember correctly.

    However, tidal adjusts it's prices for the country's gdp, so it's half the price here in Romania. This also means the artists payout is reduced, so that's worth noting.

  • Knights of the static table rule
  • I meant hz, sorry

  • I have tinnitus. It manifests as a sharp sinewave as well. For a week however, the frequency of the sinewave dropped. It sounded exactly how a medium frequency sinewave from my phone, at around maybe 500 mhz( actually its hz) , and it could go down to around 400. It was just for that week, and then it stopped.

    Your comment reminded me of that, and I thought it's an interesting enough story

  • Regain Control in my ass
  • That's good to know

    Edit: I've kinda fallen in love with the app

  • Regain Control in my ass
  • What app is THAT? I'm really curious

  • Regain Control in my ass
  • I'm so exited for the album. I can't wait to see what they do next!

    And as for my answer, I saw the post right during the crossfade period between two songs, so I'll let you choose:

    Midnight Sun in my ass

    Or

    Demonic Future in my ass

  • Does your Duolingo app icon look sick? You're not alone
  • Yea but (on reddit at least)you get the option to change the icon. It doesn't change automatically

  • This Google Photos popup
  • Yeah, forgot the name
