Really depends on the kind of paper. Used to habe to do technical drawings, and there is indeed a distinct smell to certain kinds of paper, but not your usual copy-grade sheets.

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~~ they could there as well.

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.

People are into sunk costs and book well in advance. A lot of that 30% is no-money-back cancellations.

Wait until you see next year.

You can't use the think of the children line

Or having the members, the respective heads of states, on whose words the entire European and actually world press hangs, promote and politicise it.

Destroy state oversight of corporate oversight of media and communication.

The EC absolutely has the marketing budget to change that though.

Technically the Moskva was the Black Sea Fleet flagship, not the overall flagship of the Russian Navy.

That's the aircraft carrier Kuznetsov, which can't even move under its own power, and its air complement couldn't be replenished since the 80s.

Why invade when they can colonise without invasion?

There is no point doing that as long as the Belt and Road takes over old Russian aligned states' infrastructure and the kids of the Moscow elite start learning Mandarin, both of which is happening.

I expect when climate change melts the permafrost, the companies exploiting Siberia's riches will be all Chinese. If Russia is luckier than most, they will at least employ Russians for the more menial jobs. As long as they can speak fluent Mandarin.

 

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).

 

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:

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.
