    I am open to difference of opinion, but I am not tolerant of plain dishonesty and bald-faced lies. You are entitled to your own opinion, but not to your own facts. While twitter merely adding disclaimers to certain people, it did ban Trump, along with thousands of bots. Dangerous misinformation...

    War

    Fancy words don’t change the fact that Russia invaded Ukraine, destroyed its cities, and murdered its civilians. Ukraine did not attack Russia first, and is never a threat to Russia. I’d like you to tell Ukrainians who lost their family members that they’re just ignorant of the geopolitical...

    According to Russia and China: There is no proof it was the Russians Ukrainian Nazis did it to make Russia look bad She’s still alive, her death is fake news It’s NATO and America’s fault Your mom * half sarcasm *

    The official CCP line is that all the problems are America and Europe’s fault. An internal propaganda video paints Putin as a hero. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/04/04/world/asia/china-russia-ukraine.html I miss the part where America and NATO threatens Putin so he invades Ukraine against his...

    Dialog doesn’t work with people paid to spread propaganda, like Putin bots and wumaos. Their livelihood literally depends on spreading lies. It doesn’t work with flat earthers and trumpers either. Have you ever tried to convince a Christian that the Resurrection did not happen? Me neither. I...

    I keep reminding myself that engaging trumpers, Russian bots, and wumaos on social media is unproductive. Downvote or/and report. It’s getting tougher though when I see civilian bodies piling up and these shills keep spreading lies.

    There is a deep socialist streak in Indonesia, despite being strongly anti communist. The majority expects the government to control the price of basic necessities and keep it somewhat affordable. There’s actually a constitutional mandate for it. An Indonesian government that allows gasoline...

    What compact SUV should I buy?

    Yeah, late VW cars don’t have the greatest reputation for reliability, so you gotta be vigilant. I had expensive issues with my Passat and Jetta, so I’m leaning to other brands today. They are fun though, the Golf defines the Hot Hatch category. Now imagine the 2014 GTI model sold here. Same...

    War

    This could be an Indonesian thing, but I was often annoyed by the mindset that everything is negotiable, that making peace is not hard. Too many Indonesians rush to advocate for peace regardless of the principles at stake, then feel insulted when the suggestion is not accepted. If two parties...

    What compact SUV should I buy?

    Sounds like a great deal! In USA 1.4L (even with Turbo) sounds low, but in Jakarta you’ll be outrunning 95% of cars on the road, probably. It’s roughly equivalent to a naturally-aspirated 2.0L engine. I shied away from VW because repair cost is high over here. Did you have to spend much on...

    What compact SUV should I buy?

    I’m basically middle aged too, and I’ve been enjoying my turbo. A 1.5 liter CUV is a point-a-to-point-b vehicle, a 1.5 liter turbo CUV is a smile inducing toy. With that spec I estimate 0-100 Kph around 7 seconds, which puts it in the neighborhood of far more expensive cars like the BMW X2 and...

    What compact SUV should I buy?

    Hyundai Kona is a direct competitor to the HR-V here in America, but unfortunately its gasoline model has been discontinued in Indonesia. I have the turbo model, and it’s a zippy little car. Probably useless in jalan macet though. It has less room than the HR-V, but again, faster for the same...

    National Bank of Ukraine has two accounts accepting transfers for the purpose of defense and humanitarian effort. Armed Forces account: https://bank.gov.ua/en/news/all/natsionalniy-bank-vidkriv-spetsrahunok-dlya-zboru-koshtiv-na-potrebi-armiyi Humanitarian assistance account...

    This is a very interesting story from the front lines. Ukrainians are able to hold off the numerically and mechanically superior Russians because they are highly motivated in defending their homeland, their military adopted western command doctrine, and they have a decent amount of modern...

    War

    Just to be perfectly clear, I’m not incapable of seeing nuances. I’m bothered by the lack of outrage when Syrian opposition is getting bombed by Assad with help from Russia, and their refugees are getting rejected and limited all over Europe. Meanwhile EU members trip all over themselves to arm...

    The guy’s stance on vaccination, among others, is a good indication of his credibility. There are so many more intelligent sources, yet you picked a crackpot to quote. Why? Because you can’t find a reasonable person to support your points. It’s not hard to find a random tukang becak on the...

    No, it is you who said that we think there’s no credibility or truth whatsoever with trumpers etc. There’s a saying that even a broken clock is right twice a day. Nobody is 100% wrong all the time and nobody is 100% right all the time, but that does not mean there’s no difference between 99%...
