If you start a war we will collectively leave EETO and start EETO 2 etc etc

Why not just set it up to kick out members who start a war? That seems easier.

Apparently they were spared a world expo on top of all the other misery.

This is the part all those "digital data bad, I still use paper" people don't tell you, paper means you are still beholden to the horrors of printing.

Russia is essentially a small state with a couple of centuries of imperialist thinking.

I would go one step further and remove all of the imperialist thinking in Russia, just to be on the safe side.

"Tazi-tech music" sounds like the kind of sounds someone might make when being hit by a taser.

Whoever convinced those first kids to call that raw dogging was a grade A troll.

I wonder if it is like character creation in an RPG, 5 minutes to elect a new pope and then the rest of the time is time they need to think of a name.

Supervised Full Self-Driving seems like a euphemism for driving with a driving instructor. You fully drive yourself but someone supervises you while you do it.

I was one of those people too and the academic environment was honestly depressing. Almost none of the professors actually cared about the topics they taught, only about the ones that were their research subjects, on the topics they taught many were stuck at the state the introductory topics were at when they first graduated themselves (in IT where everything changes much more quickly than that). Many university wide decisions were nonsensical (e.g. teach memory management in OS classes in Java because Java was the language they standardized on for everything due to industry pressure). For Bachelor topics they only wanted to accept topics where you could tell you would basically spend months to write something that would end up in the round filing cabinet once it had served its grading purpose. Questions in larger classes were highly discouraged, even pointing out mistakes in the lecture materials (obvious indisputable ones that shouldn't hurt anyone's ego like some typo in the order of digits) got responses that discouraged doing that again.

The term bulimia learning has been used for well over a decade now to describe that cramming before an exam only to immediately forget all of it afterwards too. Testing in education is fundamentally broken and has been for a long time.

Not just Americans, the British political class has similar issues.
