I Cast Fist

Those silly sillies go there willingly, because they totally want to be properly educated, it’s definitely not some sort of concentration camp with forced labor!

A govt that tightly controls flow of information, even at the individual level by using and abusing of the police, is not actually liked??? No way! I’m utterly shocked!! Who could’ve predicted that??

Do you think they accept Linden Dollars?

For those wondering how the hell the number got so stupidly large, starting somewhere in 2022:

The court imposed a fine of 100 thousand rubles ($1,025) per day, with the total fine doubling every week.

By week 20 Google was already “owing” over 1 billion dollars and over 1 trillion by week 30. So expect the funny number to keep growing just because.

In any case, I don’t think Google will come back to Russia anytime soon. Probably nothing to be gained there anyway.

Sorry bud, best RL can do for ya is kinda ok-ish VR. At least you can rock an 80s punk-glam style!

I wonder if the Russian military will ever realize that a meat grinder tactic can’t go on forever, especially when a good chunk of the men going on the front would really prefer to be anywhere else.

Down in Brazil, I’m pretty sure having to sign a purchase with a credit card didn’t exist anymore by the very early 2000s, you just type a password. Same with debit cards.

Simply approaching the card to pay up goes back to 2021 in here, if I’m not mistaken.

If they decided to attack, yes, they’d lose badly, though they can easily cause severe damage to Seoul, as the city sits less than 30km away from the demilitarized zone and within range of several artillery pieces spread over the border.

The funny thing is that your logic is so poorly thought that you could apply it to all the attacks against Israel.

“Hey, Israelis, we’re gonna bomb your homes! You better evacuate if you don’t want to die!”

I’d like to be enlightened on the “nuclear warning shot” method the French have

According to wikipedia, that isn’t even a problem within the Quran itself, but rather a hadith (oral tradition) from some other fellow: “Sahih Bukhari explicitly prohibits the making of images of living beings, challenging painters to “breathe life” into their images and threatening them with punishment on the Day of Judgment.”

I suspect some of them might still have cell phones with internet. I wonder if they’ll also force people to use text images as avatars on twitter or something

“Keeping us safe”, yeah, sure. Squad, this one. Also the one above. And the fellow below, too. Goddamn infidels, destroying our lovely… Uh, lovely… Lovely love for living in the present, yes! Just as the prophet would’ve wanted!

They also hate whites that aren’t the “correct” type of white. Ukrainians are “relatively civilized and relatively european”, for instance.

No food is “problem free” and, much like normal agriculture where different crops cause different problems, different meats (poultry, pig, cow) cause different problems and have different costs.

Are insects a valid protein source? Apparently yes! Am I willing to eat them? Maybe! I’ve never had the chance to try any, none of the markets I go to stock anything like that.

Ditching all meats for soy and other vegetal proteins? Doable, but more expensive than eating chicken or pig, in my case. Fully getting rid of eggs and milk is also problematic for me because they are even cheaper than the meat itself.

You know what would be really funny? If cattle ranchers were forced to come up with big diapers for all the cows, harvesting the methane and turning that into somewhat cheap extra gas for cooking.
