I somehow doubt that couple of days is enough for prosecution to make a case or for judges to go through the evidence. Due process traditionally allows for appeals too.

I’m from Poland where previous populist right government set up constitutional court with their own politicians and it will take time to replace them legally. Currently that court is a laughing stock because they rule on everything, mostly outside of what they actually can, seemingly on their own and at moments notice.

What Romanian constitutional court did sounds kinda similar and it worries me. Are we throwing away democracy because otherwise we get fascism? I’m not sure if we’re not going to end with fascism anyway, just with liberal aesthetics.

Those people knew and voted for that guy regardless so this is not fixing anything and looks quite bad for the democratic process, especially to them. Do you believe mainstream parties don’t do the same internet influence campaigns? Suppose this Georgescu guy is guilty of various campaign financing issues but where’s the due process?

This is not going to rebuild trust in democratic institutions for those that voted for Georgescu. This is just kicking the can down the road.

Anti-LGBT propaganda in the mainstream has been mostly the doing of PiS affiliated media, Catholic Church and teenage edgelords. Say what you will about PiS, they are not pro-Russia, and their homophobia looks tame compared to what was happening in the 90s. While there is some external interference on the fringes, we can be shitty on our own.

Polish homophobia doesn’t require stimuli from abroad, we’re doing well on our own. When we decriminalised homosexual acts in 1932 it was already decriminalised in then-Bolshevik Russia so I wouldn’t look into historical context that much. If I had to blame any external factors it’d be turning Poland into ethnically homogenous country after WW2. Allies did a real number on us then.

It’s anti-LGB hate speech bill. Gender identity was quietly removed from the bill draft couple of months ago.

Same but both seem to be quite inspired by old Desktop Dungeons so I’m interested anyway.

Cancer seems to be less of an issue with biologic DMARDs and with NSAIDs there are bigger cardiovascular issues to be worried about. But either way it’s trading bad outcomes.

My observation of online communities for chronic diseases is that there are some people that read new research papers and share new findings because there’s so little else they can do. Knowledge in those communities spreads fast (but so does bullshit unfortunately).

It’s a little bit of good news for folks with autoimmune diseases. I’ve been reading a lot on spondyloarthritis / psoriasis over the last couple of weeks (being tested for both) and this doesn’t appear to be common knowledge.

Done, thanks for pointing this out.

It sounds like you need a desktop computer or a docking station.

It’s a repost of a 6 year old Reddit post.

They meant big boobies.

Usenet costs money but has been most hassle-free once I got it going. I pay around ~€10 monthly on average by extending my subscriptions and stocking up on block accounts during sale periods (like now). Subscriptions are usually offered as bulk deals with VPNs too.

Usenet still works well enough too and doesn’t require a VPN. Bit of a pain to get into but that’s probably the best thing it has going for it. Every easily available source seems to be closing these days.

The title is quite confusing. It sounds like the last time all top 10 spots were occupied by sequels was 50 years ago. What they actually meant is that over the last 50 years numbers of sequels in top 10 was gradually increasing (starting from 0 in 1973/1974).

Obviously it’s not possible to block everything but subjectively speaking it blocked quite a good deal. While taking cytisine tablets all that nicotine does is make you nauseous and even if it does anything it’s not enough to offset massive adverse effects of smoking that you’re suddenly feeling. This effectively stops you from being able to enjoy nicotine at all.

I meant that you won’t be getting anything out of that nicotine while taking pills.
