From what I found, Mary supposedly lived at the temple from childhood as a consecrated virgin.

So apparently she was groomed by the priests?

At this point doesn't he have grounds to sue? I know there was something in the license agreement, but that amount of money might be worth a round checking it out.

My experience is from the opposite geographical extreme of the EU.

We don't even get Amazon by the way.

I think the prize is the pubicity, as well as a free ad spot for you when you get to perform as the halftime event at the next one, which was last year, and IIRC Nemo took the opportunity to call attention to Palestine as much as he could there as well.

The US is going all Russia on them, airspace violations, stealing ships and stuff

I don't know why the article fails to mention that between the enaction of the ban and Pécs Pride, Budapest Pride became the single biggest public event in Hungary since the fifties.

Hundreds of thousands marched (in a city of 2 million, a country of 9.5 million) defying the ban, and the government was unable to punish anyone.

This actually makes it harder on the organiser that the article is about, because they are desperate to show strength from a place of weakness.

As I've seen it, in a lot of places in Europe, Shein an Temu are much more accessible.

My mom would never order from AliExpress, she uses Temu all the time.

They are not "murky", it's completely merged and privatised to a centralised corporate entity.

Well, it tried its best. There was this whole CIS and CSTO thing, the stuff in the Caucasus and the 'stans and of course Wagner and the Afrika Korps.

It's British. Winnie the Pooh is not American.

My inner monologue started singing the first four lines, then went to true crime voice for the non rhyming lines.

I think it works

 

So since Google and Meta banned political ads, the Hungarian government is trying different ways to get election ads to the people, since at this point they are going to lose and very possibly prosecuted for various crimes like embezzlement and child rape.

The booming disembodied voice is saying (my comments in parentheses):

Twenty years ago at Röszke (southern border town of Hungary), something happened that we can never forget. Hordes of migrants appeared on the border, not with good intentions, not with papers, not with requests, but with stones, sticks and violence. They didn't ask for admission, they tried to break through the fence. The defenders of our country opposed them, stopped those that didn't respect our laws, borders or our homeland. We didn't retreat, we defended Hungary, but the fight has not ended. Brussels is fining us 400 million forints daily because we don't want to let aliens in. But there are those that would give in to Brussels and would let migrants in. We see where this led in Western Europe...

The recording cuts away here.

We now live in security. But only one bad choice/election (the word means both in Hungarian), and there goes our peace, and our security as well. One bad choice/election, and we will also become and immigrant country. Get to know what we could lose on "rosszvalasztas.hu" (badchoice/election.hu).

 

Hey, these photos were taken in Hungary today, aerial refueling of F/A-18E Super Hornets as seen from the ground.

And here are some extra courtesy of the same guy, from his friend who works as a refueling tech.

 

The POV presented in the article is one POV in Hungary, the country is divided on the issue but mostly does not care beyond a small minority.

People cite the band shouting "Up Hamas, up Hezbollah" on this concert as justification for the ban.

 

I know it's not the best source, but all the relevant news from outlets that are not outright Russian disinfo are only in Hungarian.

These are trusted, well read and researched articles in Hungarian if you want to check:

Leaders such as Trump and Orbán could only be effectively opposed, she said, by ditching a “legalistic, technical, technocratic approach” in favor of “something for the electorate to be excited about”.

 

Edit:
Internal headline on the page:
The 'strongman' PM who inspired Trump's playbook - but now finds his power crumbling

Headline from metadata and BBC's search is the one in the title.

Edit2: Changed headline to the apparently new one.

 

Length: 1:39:20

Immigrants, populism, border fences, electoral autocracy.

If you are interested about how and why Hungary is as it is, this is a documentary just released by Partizán, the most viewed Hungarian news outlet independent from the Hungarian government.

The subtitles are not autogenerated but hand-made by the news outlet.

The outlet has a decidedly leftist slant even by European standards, but are considered mainstream in Hungary.

 

So creating a new repo on GitHub, you get a set of getting started steps. They changed the default branchname to "main" from "master" due to its connotations with slavery.

When I create a new repo now, the initial getting started steps recommend creating a branch named "master" as opposed to "main" as it was a while ago.

It's especially weird since the line git branch -M master is completely unnecessary, since git init still sets you up with a "master" branch.

Disclaimer: I have a bunch of private repos, and my default branchnames are pretty much all "master".

Is this a recent change?

Edit: Mystery solved, my default branchname is "master". Thanks bamboo@lemmy.blahaj.zone !

 

I mean, he's not wrong, but apparently saying the quiet part out loud became a faux pas in Hungary recently.

It's not as pithy as Orbán's "Rosatom will buy it for me" about RTL Hungary though.
