It’s probably the conservatives who claim South Park ruined a generation. My ex came from a conservative culture and she doesn’t like South Park. Obviously, adult, crude and dark humour won’t jive well with conservatives who are taught a certain way. If I had remained in my home country, I could grow up not liking South Park as I was pretty conservative.
The sticky bit (pun intended) is what would be considered inappropriate in the bedroom that should be deemed be illegal? Hardly a police will watch the act and say “Oh that’s a shocker. That’s a $500 fine for you.”
The picture is beautiful and captured how big and grandiose the dam is. New Vegas didn’t manage to make the dam awe inspiring. There is a rumour of remaking New Vegas and hopefully that they re-skin and enlarge the scale of the dam.
It’s not authoritarianism if I do it!
AMD is an industry leader with a huge economic moat and I think they will be okay when the bubble pops. I’m not sure about Nvidia though, despite having superb chips, because the problem is they loaned to companies to buy their chips. So, Nvidia’s finances will be strained because Jensen Huang created a ponzi scheme that could not repay or be profitable to itself.
US is the only country that i know of that institutionally deny climate change because the Republican party, with their corporate donors, is still considered a viable political party by Americans. And they won’t do such a thing if there aren’t enough people who don’t believe in climate change.
Peeta!
I think it’s mainly Americans who don’t believe in climate change. I don’t live in the US but I am yet to meet a non-American who does not believe it’s real. Although, unfortunately, said people may think climate change is real but it is at the bottom of their priority. The far right idiotically and pathetically fail to link climate change with migration. The former think migrants simply want to cause havoc. Most people don’t leave their places unless it’s economic, which climate change is wreaking havoc upon because the vulnerable and poor global south don’t have the means to cope with warming weather that causes drought. Meanwhile, the billionaires are laughing all the way to the bank and stringing us along like puppets. And we are all too happy to be played upon.
That’s actually cool.
What made English the dominant language is not just because of colonisation, but also because the structure and rules are simpler than other languages. Adding those adds unnecessary complexities!
No problem. Enjoy the plane ride out of Russia. Make sure there are no unhinged doors on your flight. You don’t want to end up like your idol, Prigozhin. You should have joined him on the march to Moscow when you had the chance and maybe your country will be in better position.
Predictably comrade, you are repeating the same old RFE this, RFE that. Straight from your handlers playbook that people have been hearing from years. Who cares? What is so bad about spreading democratic ideals? Is the colour revolution bad because it usurps Kremlin-aligned kleptocrats? Is this why Russia promotes regressive dark enlightenment ideas and being associated with Epstein.
Anyway, the topic was about the systematic, forceful obduction of Ukrainian citizens by their own government
Well done, you just figured out how draft works 👏👏. But predictably, you won’t mention about Russian authorities drafting students, street raids and coercing businesses to send youths. So, how is Russia better as you are implying? One side is fighting for survival, the other is forcefully recruited to suck their superior’s dick. Cry me a river. Oh and before you say anything, if Ukrainians are indeed tortured by their state, they would not be so motivated to cause Russia a net territorial loss this year and Putin just waivered bond auctions which could lead to the Russian state defaulting. You better leave your office in St Petersburg, tovarisch, before Russia collapses again in just less than a generation. You don’t want to live the 1990s again. The couple of cents you gained from few previous posts should let you buy a plane ticket out of there 🫡
The article is written by a Russian about his home region in Russia. Would you rather if someone from fellow St Petersburg Institute have written the article, tovarisch?
Even though draft is morally questionable, one side is fighting for survival, the other is fighting to be pardoned from prison and then buy BMW to show off to their communities that don’t even have sewage.
I’m out of the loop. What is Tesseract and what does it do? And how do I know if I am on the list?
Ukraine is resource rich and seen as Russia’s soft underbelly. Kremlin is also insecure that their access to Sevastopol is only on a leased basis. That’s why they took the entire Crimea.
The assessment of Putin is quite accurate. He could only do low intensity conflicts and he has a habit of starting something but is never able to finish. Even Georgia is an unfinished business.
Even a conservative thinker argued before that people don’t just go to where there are “free stuff”, most people still value rule of law and freedom. Only few, if ever, risked their lives crossing the Caribbean to go to America not to Cuba, the latter which has free healthcare. Now that I think about it, African refugees fleeing post-colonial strife did not go to either Eastern Europe or USSR during the Cold war, they went to Europe and North America instead.
Climate change and migration. There really isn’t such a thing as “illegal” migrants to begin with, let alone that most people don’t want to leave their homes but for economic reasons. With climate change destroying the fertility and economic productivity of land, it prompts people to try their luck into more prosperous countries, and they are getting demonised for wanting to have better lives. Most people don’t realise this and are distracted by 1% propaganda to blame helpless migrants.
You don’t change the view of the person you are arguing with on the internet, you are putting a red flag so that would-be readers don’t fall into the rabbit hole.
