Languages I can speak: Hungarian, Lisp, Broken Engrish
Manjaro should have its own even lower tier
I checked the websites of the recent presidencies, wikipedia has a nice list: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Presidency_of_the_Council_of_the_European_Union#List_of_rotations
All of them has a detailed program and a custom logo, some of them just highlight the core points from the program, some of them has slogans, all of the slogans are just big meaningless words:
This is EP and local government election, parliamentary elections will be in 2026. Orbán is expected to get 40-50% today. On a parliamentary election that could still result in a supermajority, or close to it. Orbán wil be ousted by colesterol, not by election.
They wear out if you write data on them, reading doesnt matter. if you just need them for install, you just write once and you can install the same arch on millions of computers
I’m a big fan of most of the teachings of RMS, but his views on sexuality are a bit questionable. Parrots are ok though
The parrot story from 2010:
A parrot once had sex with me. I did not recognize the act as sex until it was explained to me afterward, but being stroked on the hand by his soft belly feathers was so pleasurable that I yearn for another chance. I have a photo of that act; should I go to prison for it?
Its url is also very nice: https://stallman.org/articles/extreme.html
On the source it says this data is reported by countries, it’s not some central calculation. Maybe they expected data from the grey countries but didn’t get it? There is data from Serbia and Montenegro, and they are not part of the EU, nor candidates.
Eurostat is not only for EU countries, it has a lot of agreements with other European countries: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eurostat#Geographical_scope
This map is outdated, since latest election slovakia is also russian friendly/influenced: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fico's_Fourth_Cabinet
We don’t really know the actual power mechanics, but Orbán is populist, he just do whatever the best for him. Usually that’s the same as Putin wants, but last time he let other EU leaders send money to Ukraine, while he went out for a coffee break: https://www.lemonde.fr/en/international/article/2023/12/20/olaf-scholz-s-successful-coffee-break-strategy-with-viktor-orban_6359543_4.html So it’s not as clear.
From this current NATO deny, some speculate he wants money from Sweden. Most EU funds are blocked, Russians don’t have money anymore for him, local population don’t like Chinese battery factories they planned, and other Chinese investments are also slowed down because too much was stolen.
Hungary is basically a one man state since 2010, Orbán is the god-emperor, all other people in government just talking heads. Novák was a second line random politician before elected as president, noone understood why she was selected. In Hungary president is elected by the parliament where Orbán has supermajority, he can do whatever he wants. It’s his decision Sweden is not in Nato yet, noone else’s
From wiki:
She has been criticised for being too lenient when granting presidential pardons. Two of the more controversial cases happened in April 2023 when she pardoned domestic terrorist György Budaházy[13] and the vice principal of a foster home in Bicske, who tried to cover up the principal’s crimes when the latter was charged for child molestation.[14] The vice principal’s pardon became known to the public only on 2 February 2024. Subsequently there were protests demanding Novák’s resignation.[15] She resigned on 10 February 2024.[16] Judit Varga who countersigned the pardon as Minister of Justice, also resigned alongside the president.[17]
The current freezing of EU fund things are somewhat working. And he can’t use them to make himself look like a victim. He likes to speak about himself as “We Hungarians”, and this just helps him with that.
This is stupid:
Same for Hungary: the national bird is the Turul, a mythological bird. Presumably it originates from the Saker falcon, so it’s not even an eagle.
This was posted a lot of times, and it’s not defined what “spoken” actually means. E.g. you can hear Orbán speaking English in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bO9v8aKSj24
Those are definitely English words, and by Hungarian standards it’s not that bad (Only 25% of Hungarians can speak English according to 2022 census). But is this the same level as other leaders? On other threads it was mentioned that Erdogan can speak some other language just not really well, so it’s not counted here.

Immigration is not a solution to this problem, just a short term band aid. What will happen if current immigrants became old? More immigrants? At some point you will run out of new people
Be the change you want to see.
But a meme fits better within food and random images than news about war and politics
