headed by the gal who cleaned up Romania.

While Kövesi did a bunch of good stuff and got some convictions, Romania is far, far from clean as far as corruption goes.

Such a restriction on qualified investors is not the norm in most countries.

Yes and this isn’t necessary because the two sides are completely identical. No differences in pieces or terrain or anything so there’s no need to change a piece to make it stronger or weaker.

Yep, totally fine with it. You look, who knows what you might see!

I don’t know about this case, but private companies also have shares and can sell them out/issue them to other parties just like public companies. It’s just that it doesn’t happen via a stock exchange and a lot of what they do doesn’t need to be publicly disclosed.

This is good imo. Blizzard’s been rotting from the inside for years, and for this Microsoft deal to bring real change they need to let lots of the older employees go. Let’s see how it plays out.

Upvote for comma splice hatred.

Nope. Ukraine was a lone wolf and Putin thought it’d be easy pickings (though I’m sure he realized pretty soon how much he fucked up), but no way he’s going up against nations that are part of actual defensive pacts.

Except that’s not true, and Russia had precedent already from 2014. Oh and also Ukraine is not in NATO or the EU. So not really that surprising that Russia tried something.

There is quite literally no chance of this. If it happens, I’ll buy you a year’s worth of beer.

Yeah, total dick move given that working for Riot games is a fundamental human right. The bastards!

I hate that you don’t have more upvotes.

That’s an unfair comparison.

If someone hands you a gun that by all accounts should not be able to fire a bullet that can injure or kill, in a highly controlled setting with a professional armorer, and that gun kills someone when you didn’t even pull the trigger you should not go to jail.

The gun was apparently modified and had real bullets, both of which were the fault of the armor (the mod was seemingly done by someone else but the armorer should have caught it). Sure, you can speak about blame over hiring an incompetent armorer on everyone involved on the production and certification side, but that’s a different matter and not what’s being discussed here.

Not the guy you replied to but central Barcelona was like that in 2020 at least.

Yeah. “I have to drive for 15 minutes to access an endless range of fresh produce. Food desert!”

Did you mix up your buzzwords?

I find it amusing and ironic that the overall sentiment seems to be “just leave your comments around or delete them all manually, which may not work; who really cares?” given the backlash reddit has received and continues to receive around account/comment deletions (and forceful restorations). And especially given the downright clinical paranoia around privacy that seems to permeate many areas of Lemmy.

Don’t get me wrong, I’ve stopped going to reddit altogether over the fiascos of last year, so I’m in no way suggesting they’re any better (and are arguably worse).

Seek help.

Yes it is… a thing the poster you replied to mentioned.

Finding out the cause of something is typically a good pathway to fixing the problem.
