+100%: everyone loves him; 0%: nobody cares, or the love and hate are equally balanced; -100%: everyone hates him. It's clearer than a 0-100 scale with nobody cares at 50% because positive-only results imply a level of approval.

We haven't forgotten that time he used Starlink to benefit Russia over Ukraine, around the time he was cosying up to Putin.

That was still a bit readable, here, let me help...

What a tosswomble. Europe is already great, and you don't get great by stuffing your heads up your collective arses, which is what the USA has just decided to do for the next four years. Allow me to join in the great chorus of Fuck Off Elongated Muskovite.

Well, there's Amazon packing, where they recently sent me three cards in an A3 by 4" box. Ain't no way you could call that "skilled".

Well exactly. I can't think of one. It could only be useful in a situation where having a dead weight in a cell would solve some problem or other, but I've no idea how.

Well in theory you could lose your queen, bishops and rooks, and promote all 8 pawns to knights. Your opponent would likely have to play along, possibly even doing the same.

It'd be an extreme edge case where not promoting would be useful.

The only problem with that is that I don't have the political knowledge to be able to counter their responses, and nobody else responds to the thread, so it kind of dies there. If for instance they say (as they have) that North Korea is a perfectly normal country, I don't have any location-specific knowledge to be able to respond to that, and I'm aware our own media have their own agendas so I've no way of knowing objectively who's right.

I can't help but wonder if tankies are the political equivalent of flat-earthers. I should probably ask that on NSQ some time, when I can figure out a way of asking that won't get me banned.
