If I ever make a thing that is popular enough to get one. I would just refuse. This feels like it has more Hollywood guys orbiting it than game creators at this point. The award part is so.koniscule that getting an award feels like an insult.

I feel it just should be called E3 and the awards part should be cu. Really I could not care less about the industry awards. It's more like a long commercial.

I also saw some ideas from the USA, that people should be screened on their social media before getting on holidays to the country. Will it be made by a border guard on the border:"let me see your x account,sir."? So this would mean, they could keep you out because the guard did not like your twitt

Also it just creates a dangerous precedent that can be easily used to block movement of anybody with any different opinions. And the problem is that who will judge those opinions and how. If you build a weapon, expect it to be used against you in the future.

And now imagine someone trying vibe code, not knowing a programming at all... Good luck fixing the code when nothing works and you have no idea how shit works.

If this is again about the free speech thing, then the UK is a complete outlier and it's probably the country with the most stupid censorship in this side of the West. And again, I feel that Europe being so decentralized helps with it. Controlling narrative here is hard.

The funny thing is. EU can deregulate food safety but good luck in enforcing it in each country. Even if Brussels would agree individual members could just say, they will not agree. One good thing about having a strong farmers lobby. XD EU being loose and not central used has funny consequences.

Simple. There are often no real alternatives. For years, many countries in Europe, reduced their arms production capacity in tge name of savings.

I like that you are bringing demographic because China can have less people than they reported before. Much less people.

And again. Everybody being busy with Ukraine is also a plus for China. If they want to keep the USA and Europe distracted they have no incentive to end the war now. They really can get as much for cheap as they want without a neighbor that is completely destabilized and dangerous because of it.

I really don't see getting anything good from negotiation with china other than getting exploited in some way.

Another thing is, that Kraut correctly says, that no matter what, China already got what they wanted from this war. And if you go to them with some offer, you'll get squeezed, not the other way around. The only thing you can get from this is being played as China is here in a position of strength.

And this is exactly why I wrote about the USA not being the same as China. Both can be superpowers, but one of those will fuck you only 80% of the times and the other 100%.

If it's signed in Beijing we are cooked.also it would mean Ukraine is cooked and would be rebuilt by Chinese companies with no European or even Ukrainian workers involved. It would be just a different type of catastrophe.

If peace is signed now, Trump will claim it as his victory.

I'm still sceptical. As not giving Trump even an inch of victory is more in line with China's MO.

And in the worst scenario it would be a situation like from a joke about Soviet Russia. "In communist China the wood chops you".

There is a Polish proverb: "Zamienił stryjek siekierkę na kijek". Loosely translating to exchanging axe for a stick. If European leaders think that China will be a good replacement as a partner, instead of the US they may get a bit disappointed when they try to chop wood.

I wonder how he wants to make that happen. The longer war goes on, the more Russia gets addicted to Chinese help. So I don't see a point unless he wants France to get trapped in some kind of deal for nothing?

Let's just remember the main theory was that Epstein was recording his guests. The client list was something more plausible and not that damning as it just meant having a connection. Recordings while committing a crime, that would be a problem for many.
