What if you wouldn’t be consripted? Or you’d not be sent to frontlines? Or you’d happen to go through it unscarsed? If you can’t change it, you can only bet it won’t notice and harm you.
There’s like a day or two of lectures about how this state of mind works. I’ve started to ignore some folks who’ve drown into it.
There are invite-based systems since the dawn of the internet, notably torrent trackers and closed forums, and mods can see who vouched for them. It’s not worth it unless the community has something unique to offer (i.e. new blueray rips, non-public deals). Adding crypto to it doesn’t add anything of value.
Billionaire’s yacht? Hardly. But it may be scrapped. Expensive furniture and tech sold, high quality engine and parts repurposed.
Country flags are the most popular thing in r/place, and country subs are big too. They can share a little of their clicks and reddit would think before pissing them off and erasing them. People kinda dislike when you erase the symbol of their country. It can also go into news.
Also when you open a big image like comic it’s inconvinient when it closes when you push it too much towards top or bottom. I’m not swiping it off, I want to read the first panel.
I wonder if it’s sensational or it really hits. Some pieces of grocery felt off my list, but since Centrobank measures and completely unobvious pricing of goods (sales, loyal customer cards, new noname brands replacing those who ‘left’, normalizing poor men’s stores - warehouses where items are staying in storage packgages and employees are minimal to cut prices down) and a long-term habit of prices keeping cimbing at ridiculous rate, it’s not the breaking point. How it would hurt the big players tho is the question because big firms cutting their wants = unemployment, and their budget is as challenged. When I drop another portion of meat from my diet, they drop a dozen of employees off.
My perspective is too small but I’ve noticed an old off-tone joke reposted more frequently.
Dad, you having your wage cut means you’d drink less?
No, my pleasure. It means you’d get to eat less.
For what it seems, there’s still ground for maneuvers in average Ivan’s grocery list. More lifehacks and thrift options are discovered by many. The frog is boiling on slow fire.
90 minutes of music video montage. I liked it back then too. It looked very video-gamey and edgy.
It is more about politics to proclaim that, for everybody knew it is like the best route to deliver munition to this area. And maybe a warning to those who are still planing to have a vacation here.
The article is too centered on mines because the guy is dealing with them.
But yeah, they had time to dig in and to defend themselves with whatever they can, including USSR-worth of mines.
I’m worried civilians would die to them decades after this war because some of them were invented way before some countries thought about them becoming dud after some time. We still find them in years after World War 2 and Balkan conflicts, rendering some places inhabitable for that reason.
I know. It’s still not comparable to reddit. For the very least, they allowed other instances to be created with their code. I can dislike the way they go from the common point in socialism to ml, but still prefer them over corpos and place credit where it’s due.
I am on board with creating less violence but I weight it with not creating the ground for more violence in the future. Would violence stop after getting ceasefire now? Won’t it repeat? When it started in 2014 but then came to a slow burning everyone forgot about, it set a precedent that one may do that with minimum repercussions, and so it restarted anew in 2022. And so it may once again until doing that would be impossible for one reason or another.
Global MIC is evil but that’s a different issue. It should, in my mind, being fought against with international treaties for disarmament and creating allianced armies like NATO so no one would have or need it’s own military. But it’s a long game and we are likely to die from heatwaves before we agree to give up bombs.
What is your solution and who’d benefit from it the most?
Leftie spaces being overtaken by USSR\China\North Korea stans. That just another win for opponents.
It’s not really surprising. One of the trends consistent for how many centuries is a combination of three things: IDGAF\fatalism attitude or похуй, strong belief in randomness of most things you’d think are pretty clear cause and effect or авось, isolationism\egocentrism\self-distancing from everything not directly concerning their daily life.
Not caring much for it’s out of their power + chances are it won’t happen so no need to think of it’s consequencies + and if it’d happen why would it necessary happen to Them of all people?
It’s mentality of people who have never got free from serfdom, but adapted to it’s rules. With how corrupted were tsarist regime and then soviet union, that’s how laws are usually applied: their harshness is compensated by how rarely they are followed through (waa it coined by Dostoevsky?), and it’s not a responsibility but bad luck to be caught. This logic gets so ingrained the life itself is seen through this lense. My fellow russians and ukrainians I know call people with this mindset ‘совок’, sovokh, a short and humiliating word for soviet sympathisers, also meaning ‘shovel’ in both languages – that equals ‘tаnкiе’ but for those living in ex-ussr.
It was documented by many writers and philosophers of the past, and actually became a point of national pride, the unique way things are done there. You are kind of seeing that with everything surrounding current events. The conflict itself couldn’t happen like that if government hasn’t found the key to support and abuse this line of thought, but it’s also why it has these performance and choice of tactics.
I shit on people who talks about a slave gene in ex-soviet people as it sound like some nazi bullshit, but social traditions and material conditions do form this very mentality. Being determines consciousness. And also causes meme absurdities like vacationing three steps from the frontline.
Sorry for being that verbose. All pieces fell into places for me while I was writing this comment. It’s rare for a comment to trigger me into reflecting on information and thinking about it for this long, so kudos to you for bringing not only a laughter, but also some food for thoughts.
Weren’t they a tankie? I’ve heard about it a couple of times on Reddit before joining the fediverse but I don’t have proofs myself.
You mean their meme review episode? I stopped taking him seriously after that. It’s so bad it has it’s own cringe value.
