Linkedin became known as a terrible platform when it spammed every email address the web, it was like 10 years ago. Than it was bought by M$. What did you expect? Suddenly a platform which is known for only bad things becomes the epitome of correctness?

This guy seems happy to me:

The flood just arrived to Budapest, lower embankments were closed on Monday, Danube will reach it’s highest level on Saturday or Sunday. It won’t reach the levels of the highest modern flood from 2013, so noone is really afraid. Weather is nice, no rain.

Edit: nice article with images on today’s situatuon:

Some images of the closed roads from r*ddit:

Every politician is posting pictures with shovels in wellington boots, some actually helps. They disassembled a temporary dyke already under water so Orbán could pose in the flood, see the background in this image:

I was thinking “is this the pedo guy?” so i guess it’s not

The most communist part is that the whole process is fully managed by the government tax office, not some 3rd party private company.

The not communist part is that it takes unbelievable amount of corruption to program and maintain these services under the hood. They figured out that it’s hard to measure how much human work needed to develop such a thing, so they can just invoice whatever unbelievable amount they want. American companies help with that as well. Windows and Office license for state offices 3-4 times higher than the normal price for consumers, because for some reason they can’t buy it directly from Microsoft, they have to buy from local appointed dealers… Actually MS was fined for this for USD 8.7 Million, the local party in one of this deal was promoted to higher government position afterwards.

So actually this doesn’t exist for making the peasant’s life easier, just to have jobs to steal from… It’s just accidental that our small life becomes a bit less miserable during the process.

This painting was in the dining room, so during eating he watched this painting. I guess it has so clear eyes so he could maintain eye contact while drinking his morning coffee.

All walls of the house were covered with similar depressing and disturbing murals, they are called the 14 Black Paintings.

I tell you how it works in my shitty eastern european country:

• I get an email that my report is ready, I have to go to a website where I can see it.
• After logging in I can see a list, where I worked last year, how much was paid, if I should pay anything more or I can get back something.
• If everything is alright I can hit OK. If something is not right I can open an issue on the same website, but I never had to do that ever.

That’s all. Usually takes less than 5 minutes for the whole process.
