Finland is again ranked the happiest country in the world. The US falls to its lowest-ever position
Can relate. Am I secretly a Finlandian?

That woman on the bull is Europa (Ancient Greek Εὐρώπη, Eurṓpē), daughter of the Phoenician king Agenor, lived about 2000 BCE. The bull is the shapeshifted Zeus that is kidnapping Europa. They had sex and sired Minos, king of Crete. Minos is the one who feed the Minotaur by sending children into its labyrinth.
Yeah Greek mythology is weird.

Libgen.is is back online
An alternative is plain old school irc. I'm not kidding.
Connect to irc.irchighway.net then /j #ebooks then !search <author and/or title>
Receive search results via xdcc which gives you the commands to download that stuff.
Or query one of the bots (e. g. @bsk) and get a list of hundreds of thousands of books that are available and search that for what you want.
I prefer that over ad infested one click hosters with countdowns, link shortener cascades and captchas. I find and get the stuff much faster by using irc.

Anon sets up a prank at school
In university we were taught C programming. We started with simple things like loops and stuff. After a while the topic processes, threads & stuff came up and of course we were instructed to use that.
In the computer lab there where only thin clients so everything actually ran on the server.
A good friend of mine - not know what was about to happen - entered:
while (true) {
fork();
}
Astoundingly it took a whole minute until the server froze. 🤣
That was the same server most of the school stuff ran on. So nearly everything went down. 😂
He got scolded by the sysadmin the next day but nothing serious happened.

More than 150,000 Canadians sign petition to revoke Musk’s citizenship
While I don't think it's possible to revoke his citizenship it might be possible to try him for treason against 'his' country.

The first exit polls for the German federal elections are out
Reply in thread
Germany will probably get a centrist-right (CDU/CSU) government with a centrist-left junior partner (SPD).
Centrist-right is far left in US terms.
I expect stagnancy in German politics for the next 4 years. -_-

Moscow says there will be a 'price to pay' for the Western companies that left Russia after it invaded Ukraine
There will be a price to pay for past decisions
Yeah, that price is that no sane economy will invest in Russia as long as they are scum. They have proven that they don't care about contracts, sovereignty, territorial borders and human dignity.

Hahahahahaha. Doesn't he realize that the original Nazis would have refused to call him a human? They'd call him ape just because he's black.
Anyways don't travel to Europe with that shirt. You'll get beaten or jailed the moment you step out of the plane.

Armin Laschet ist nach Raserei seinen Lappen los
und begründet seine Fahrt mit der Angst vor Verfolgung.
Das ist doch ein guter Grund, den Lappen abzugeben. Paranoia macht keinen sicheren Fahrer. :p

Nato 'might have to get involved' in US takeover of Greenland, says Trump
The mighty US of A needs NATO to invade an island with 56,000 inhabitants?
Is Wakanda located on that island or what?

Texas lawmakers file FURRIES Act, targeting animal roleplay in schools
Licking oneself or others for the purpose of grooming or maintenance.
Good luck trying to enforce that. Most people lick a small wound on their hands an fingers. It's our subconscious that triggers that.

Damit kann man perfekt leben.

The issue is not space, but how we move through it
Why building something on it instead of converting it into a park? People love green stuff, you know.

Donald Trump is not joking about making Canada the 51st state, Justin Trudeau warns in hot mic comments
I'm an outsider.
Do you think the military will comply with an order to invade Canada? Usually the higher ups are pretty sane people (in the West).

FCC chair says US will defend Big Tech against European watchdogs
he FCC chairman said Europe's regulations against US firms are "excessive" and "incompatible" with American values.
What values? Greed?
There are some extremely greedy Europeans no doubt. But the most of us pursue a happy life instead of a rich life.
He believes that these laws (...) are suppressing free speech in the EU.
These laws are there because companies feast on them illegally. Is this dude fit being the chairman of the FCC if he can't get that right?
It remains to be seen how the US administration will choose to defend Big Tech against the numerous lawsuits in the EU.
They can do exactly one thing: Nothing. The judicial branch of the EU is completely independent from the other branches, unlike the SCOTUS. Our judges don't care about what nonsense Trump is spouting.

Are Dating Apps Getting Worse?
Those apps are like Google search. They are designed to keep you occupied, to make you pay for subscriptions and click on ads.
They are not designed to find you a good partner.
