I didnt say they were good or bad. I said why they exist in the first place.

If you came to the conclusion that makes them good, well that's a journey you took all on your own.

They're not flying the jets anywhere near the limit on airshows. For one it's just not safe for the public. And secondly no one wants to reveal the actual limits to enemies.

And yes. I think it's entierly possible. Seeing as she's taken her jet for a whooping 40 second flight just to get from one side of LA to the other.

Seing one operating in person and seing one on display are two very different things.

But military airshows are not just for ordinary people to be amazed. It's an opportunity for the manufacturer to market their airplanes.

And while it does burn a lot of fuel. It's nothing compared to all the private jets flying around the world.

I'm pretty sure Taylor Swifts jet burns more fuel in a year than all airshows combined.

Their argument seems to be that snus is easier to market for young people with flavors and whatnot.

So if that's their argument, why not ban the artificial flavoring of tobacco rather than the product? Since they dont want to ban the product in its other forms.

Well, for one, EU isnt a country. It's a Union of countries. So any such deal would have to be negotiated with an individual country.

And secondly, there are very few countries in the EU that would want to assist the US deporting their "illegal aliens" to Europe.

We've been dealing with the continued aftermath of US preacense in the middle east. And been quite busy with that for the past 25 years.

First of all. To declare my bias, i am Swedish. I do not use tobacco.

Tl;dr In my opinion. If they want to ban Snus, then they also need to ban cigarettes and vapes. Snus to many Swedes is what Cigarettes are to Germans and French. Imagine the revolt from those two if EU were to ban cigarettes everywhere.


They mention that Snus can be a gateway to cigarettes, but in all of my life, I've only seen the exact opposite. People who want to stop smoking, switch to snus. So, it's the cigarettes which is a gateway to snus.

I truly hate those that just throw discarded "prillor", used tobacco, on the ground, but that has been reduced a lot since the pouches now often come with a space to discard used ones. And at least i don't have to breath in someone's snus. So it doesn't affect me.

This government will always stand on the side of Swedish snus users

While i don't like snus or any tobacco at all for that matter. Obviously our trade minister is going to be on the side that benefits Swedens freedom and Swedish trade. That's kind of literally his job.

If EU decided to ban Cigarettes everywhere for everyone. Well, guess how happy France or Germany would be about that.

You know the saying, Double standards are twice as good.

Then i do regret to inform you that this isn't news. The US signed similar deals with Honduras and Uganda in 2025.

[–] Atomic@sh.itjust.works 12 points 3 days ago (3 children)

The US also have similar deals with Ghana, South Sudan and Eswatini

Because the US have a deal with Congo. They can send deported people there, and Congo get compensated for each person.

Yes. I am well aware. 6 ÷ 2 * (2+1) = (2+1) * 6 ÷ 2 = (6 * (2+1))÷2 = 6 * (2+1) ÷ 2

What he wanted to do is 6 ÷ (2 * (2+1))

But this just comes down to if you treat 2(2+1) as one or two expressions.

And honestly, i don't blame anyone for thinking one way or the other. Because i think most people understand that we wanted to write (2(2+1)), just that the overall parentheses is implied

Why i deleted that first comment within seconds was because i saw i had misread the meme as (6÷2)(2(2+1))

So I use it mostly for soulsgames. I set up the right track pad as mouse. Like I'm rolling a ball that slows down. That's just how I like it. And then I use the left track pad for moving. Left stick is my Dpad.

I also use the dual stage triggers a lot.

 

When will people learn? Seriously. They keep touching fire and act equally surprised every time they get burned.

No Man's Sky. (Great now but holy hell was it a shit show)

Cyberpunk

Diablo IV

Far Cry 6

StarField

And now this latest Assasins Creed: Mirage.

Probably forgetting plenty of recent releases too that just faded into nothingness.

Personally, I'll be starting Batman Arkham Asylum this weekend. Heard it was pretty good. Should keep me busy for a while.
