My 60+ mother was like that, until I convinced her to stop. Once she ordered a hat, didn’t like it, so tried to send it back. Temu just gave back her money, and told her to keep it. I bet it’s a quality product

I think in Spain there was a legal case, but that person was paid for decades without any work. And it was also public funds, as the employer was some municipality iirk

Billionaires: What do you mean? We are doing great 🥂

He is the ex-husband of a former Justice Minister, he was a CEO and other exec at some government-friendly major firms, and thus part of the middle-inner circle of Orban’s party (Fidesz) and the related business networks.

He had enough 1-2 years ago, but kept silent when his ex-wife was still in a high position, to not damage her career. After she had to resign, he went to the biggest opposition Youtube channel, and gave a viral interview, confirming corrupt practices that people already suspected.

During spring he saw his popularity rising mainly in social media, so he turned from an influencer to a politician, and pulled together a party. They won a lot of seats in the EU parliament election in June, he is also now sitting in there, part of EPP, and strongly supported by Manfred Weber.

Latest polls show his party head-to-head with Fidesz, so the government is panicking, trying to attack him on all fronts, but he seems to be taking it well, and continues to gain popularity. He recently had a reddit AMA in r/hungary, which became top post of all time - he seems to be loved by the young crowd.

He is different from other opposition leaders, as he positions himself as a christian center-right politician (instead of left/liberal), while being against the Russia-friendliness and corruption of Fidesz/Orban. This resonates a lot with some of Orban’s former voters, and those who stayed away from voting in the previous years. He is also well dressed and good looking 40s dude, not an overweight 60s man like Orban and other government politicians, showing a strong contrast - Orban supposedly started excercising and losing weight due to the competition.

Overall it’s good to have him, anything is better than Orban. Peter Magyar’s also not perfect, he was part of some corrupt deals (which he openly admitted) and seems a bit arrogant and enjoy the spotlight, but if this is what it takes to get rid of Orban, I’m all for it. The country is in bad shape economically, he’s not going to solve that in a few years, but at least we could get going in the right direction - keep an eye out for Hungarian elections in 2026.

Shame, he seemed like a nice guy \s

I agree that he did already evil things, but I think there is a difference between killing members of an alien race for revenge, and slaying human children from your own community.

And I’m no way excusing him, I just think there could have been more nuance to the topic, there are steps of evilness they could have explored to make this more believable.

It’s also very interesting how some people are divided over this scene, e.g. a friend of mine had the exact same explanation as you mentioned, while another friend also found it a bit too much. I guess it’s just subjective, based on your own perception and understanding of “evil”.

I especially hated the “Anakin killing kids” scene. It’s not very realistic that he turns in a few days to a child killer, maybe he could step aside while to clones do it, killing them with his lightsaber was too cartoonishly evil for me.

That would work, if the EU hasn’t been sleeping on their defense, and relying on Daddy USA to protect Europe

What a coincidence that Elon Musk paid 100+ million for their campaign

I feel that a lot of the hate for Apple is not fully warranted. Contrary to Google or Facebook, their business model is not built on collecting your personal data. They are extremely overpriced, but deliver good quality - I am using my first iPhone for more than 4 years now, I never had and Android last nearly that long.
