The funny thing is. EU can deregulate food safety but good luck in enforcing it in each country. Even if Brussels would agree individual members could just say, they will not agree. One good thing about having a strong farmers lobby. XD EU being loose and not central used has funny consequences.

Simple. There are often no real alternatives. For years, many countries in Europe, reduced their arms production capacity in tge name of savings.

I like that you are bringing demographic because China can have less people than they reported before. Much less people.

And again. Everybody being busy with Ukraine is also a plus for China. If they want to keep the USA and Europe distracted they have no incentive to end the war now. They really can get as much for cheap as they want without a neighbor that is completely destabilized and dangerous because of it.

I really don't see getting anything good from negotiation with china other than getting exploited in some way.

Another thing is, that Kraut correctly says, that no matter what, China already got what they wanted from this war. And if you go to them with some offer, you'll get squeezed, not the other way around. The only thing you can get from this is being played as China is here in a position of strength.

And this is exactly why I wrote about the USA not being the same as China. Both can be superpowers, but one of those will fuck you only 80% of the times and the other 100%.

If it's signed in Beijing we are cooked.also it would mean Ukraine is cooked and would be rebuilt by Chinese companies with no European or even Ukrainian workers involved. It would be just a different type of catastrophe.

If peace is signed now, Trump will claim it as his victory.

I'm still sceptical. As not giving Trump even an inch of victory is more in line with China's MO.

And in the worst scenario it would be a situation like from a joke about Soviet Russia. "In communist China the wood chops you".

There is a Polish proverb: "Zamienił stryjek siekierkę na kijek". Loosely translating to exchanging axe for a stick. If European leaders think that China will be a good replacement as a partner, instead of the US they may get a bit disappointed when they try to chop wood.

I wonder how he wants to make that happen. The longer war goes on, the more Russia gets addicted to Chinese help. So I don't see a point unless he wants France to get trapped in some kind of deal for nothing?

Let's just remember the main theory was that Epstein was recording his guests. The client list was something more plausible and not that damning as it just meant having a connection. Recordings while committing a crime, that would be a problem for many.

Other thing is that... then you just have like 200h in just couple of strategies, like Crusader Kings 2 or Civilization.

Still... I would not be surprised if my whole Steam library was worth more than my current bank account is carrying XD.

A lot of it is just buying bundles at some time. When you could have a 10 quite good tittles for like $20 it quickly spiraled out of control. Humble Bundle was really good when it started. Also, some of those games are chapters of some adventure games.

And this reminds me why Steam dominated gaming market (I'm not only talking PC now), as it just has a better service. It's not even about being perfect. It's about just being so much better than anything else.

Other thing. Remember about steam refund. You can refund the game as long as you haven't played it for more than 2 hours and you 2 weeks hasn't passed. Steam has a quite based customer service.

I think there was a family share option where you can connect your library to his and he can play in those tittles when you aren't using it. Also, another story when he is a fucking retard.

So as long as they gain cash, the game may be bad, mid, or whatever. There is more to that. A lot of people that work in bigger studios will not be able to tell if something is bad or good. It's just a job. I know people who don't play or like games and still work in the industry
