How dreadful! For many trans people it’ll endanger their lives.

It all reminds me of what was happening in Russia over the decades, just smashed into an impossible timeline. Small steps lead to irrevocable disasters.

I believe the results mainly reflect the anti-immigration sentiment.

I’m a naturalized immigrant in Germany myself and don’t understand the trend at all. I imagine that supporting certain immigration groups might stretch the social support system in the country, but it’s the faulty of the system itself, no? I get the vibe that it’s the immigrants who are the problem, and that we are somehow worse humans than the natives and set our minds on causing problems just for the fuck of it.

Can someone explain why immigration is a problem for Europe? It seem to be the good old xenophobia… Or maybe I’m biased.

Exactly! So many people fall in this Russian trap, not even understanding that it’s only goal is division and destabilization.

What’s mysterious about it? As it’s said in Russian, it’s a fight between a toad and a snake.

Sounds like something Russia would be very invested in - I mean the right-wing propaganda and causing chaos across Europe. It terrifies me those idiots are being played just like that:(

Thanks a lot! I looked into it, and it seems it doesn’t run the last version, but works fine with the old ones. I’ll look more into it!

Not really. To be open, I don’t live in Russia for over a decade. There were minor incidents even before the big war, like people abruptly stopping speaking to me upon hearing my nationality, or asking why I support (I don’t) Putin or why I don’t stop him. One guy explained to me very matter-of-factly that all Russians are intrinsically evil and deserve supervision because of it… Didn’t know how to answer that one. Very rarely I was thrown insults in the streets. But other than a very few incidents, all people I know outside of Russia were always welcoming and supportive. Recently, I received more threats and hate speech from my pro-putin compatriots than I ever received anywhere else in the world.

I’m a Russian, hold my beer.

I just went to my favorite hairdresser, and it’s always a pleasure. Finally feeling relaxed.

Wow, what a list of achievements!

Thank you for the reply. I need to run Rhino 8, and apparently it doesn’t reliably work through wine. It’s my main software I use professionally, and moving to something like Blender is unfortunately not an option.

I’d go for Lunix, if the software I need for work would I run on it. Thinking about keeping Win 10 on a separate disk, since my laptop is not eligible for Win 11.

Yay Deutschland! 💪

Dictators would live forever.

Wow, thank you!
