Well that’s definitely the thinking of an Infantino.

No, look closer; that’s an edit. Someone recommended it and they edited it in.

I don’t think that’s realistic if the sanctions on them are even remotely worth their salt. Do you have a source for that?

What does that have to do with anything? There’s still no way for Iran to profit from Trump’s chaos.

Not quite “any nation;” it’d take a significant bloc within the EU for it to really sting.

I sincerely doubt it. The EU has consistently dropped the ball on this, with or without Orban.

The U.S. is now the enemy of the free world.

Correction: The “free world” is the enemy of the free world, because that’s how late stage capitalism works. The EU seems poised to follow in America’s footsteps, if anything. Also if the “most heinous war crimes” part was a dealbreaker NATO never would’ve existed.

What? Iran isn’t profiting off anything. They’re hoping they can undo their pariah state status, and they might even be able to do it, but so far they haven’t actually gained anything.

Maybe they’re channeling their inner Romans and just keep building more fleets?

Uh… that has nothing to do with what I asked? Is there context that challenges the framing of the article? Because the article treats the bill not getting out of committee as adding insult to injury rather than a boring event.

Okay not to your extent but having been thrown into the deep end in a foreign country with zero survival skills I can relate. First yeah I don’t think most people have this kind of trouble. The key I’ve found is to beeline towards the thing closest to instructions (written or verbal) you can find. While getting panicky probably isn’t normal (no judgement though, fuck normalcy), not knowing how to do things is perfectly normal and there’s 99.9% going to be someone or something easy to find for people who have no idea what they’re doing. Well, in the developed world anyway, but you don’t exactly give me “I’mma go to Mozambique” vibes so you should be fine. Anyway yeah, I for one can say that help desks and clear signage absolutely hard-carried me through my first (and second, and third…) time at the airport; just don’t be afraid to ask for help, look things up and pay attention to signs and you’ll be fine.

Basically, it didn’t get a hearing to get out of committee.

And how does that not confirm the point of the article? No, seriously, I have no idea how the whole committee system works; who would’ve been responsible for getting it to a proper vote?

I have absolutely zero faith that Obama would do anything to meaningfully help Mamdani, but let’s watch and see I guess.

Phew.

I expect once the [new] Tisza government is in place, that would be one of the first things the EU would like to push

I’ve learned not to expect nice things from the EU, but hey maybe.

… Wow. I’m going to hope for the sake of everyone you’ll ever meet that you’re just 14 or something.

I hope you have the same opinion regarding philosophy, pure math and string theory, but also: Then don’t fucking answer the question. Clearly some people, including the OP, see value in discussing beings whose existence cannot be verified in reality.

You could say she added some Polish to it.

I’ll see myself out.

Because nobody actually answers the question. “Because it’s bullshit” is the least interesting, least informative answer you can give to a question like this, and it does nothing except make the commenter feel clever. It gets especially annoying when legitimate answers are buried under dozens of “because God doesn’t exist I’m so smart.” Now an answer could reject the premise that a creator exists and still be interesting, but it’d have to do better than the armchair anthropology everyone here seems so fond of.

So first, asking religious questions on the Fediverse is a fool’s errand, but that aside: Why not? Hell, if anything it’d be the other way around: An all-powerful being without emotion wouldn’t create anything, because they wouldn’t gain anything from doing so. Any creation by an omnipotent being would have to be an emotional affair.
