Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

In a few years’ time, Sandu will have had an unfortunate accident with a window, and Moldovan conscripts will be dying in meatwave assaults on the western front of the Ukrainian permawar.

BRICS: For some reason, we're going to make a money laundering collective for dictatorships and be shocked when people call us up on it and we'll blame the EU

They called it too early. Yes is now in the lead

Did No get a time penalty?

No got a “foreign vote came in late and overwhelmingly voted yes” penalty

I don't understand why this article makes it seem as though its already been decided before the final tally is done, it could still be a yes!

In fact, as of writing this comment, the vote is evenly split at 50 / 50, as seen here: https://pv.cec.md/cec-template-referendum-results.html

As of this moment, the official result appears to be “yes”.

Yes is now in the lead, narrowly
