Not like their saliva would have any of it anyway /s

Funnily enough I recently had to disable ipv4 in a game because of connection issues.

And nothing of value was lost

If they get even a cent from you, then you are funding their crap. Also whatever you don’t like about them will certainly be part of their art. If that doesn’t bother you, then sure, enjoy what you want.

I can guarantee you it’s not a big deal. Don’t beat yourself over it.

Guess you don’t know then

It wasn’t actually to target her but lgbt+ people that were there.

The only news here are the ukrainians using them. Russia has had them for years by this point.

ICC are for virtue signalling, not to actually punish crimes against humanity.

It’s not really about changing it for cold hard power, but changing how their soft power will be projected. I’ve seen some theories that the rethoric is going to change from being about freedom of expression and LGBT rights and similar to ideas about traditional family values or something, and I think it’s very plausible.

This isn’t fundamentally changing anything. It’s about using different tools for the same goal.

Second this. I expected just more crazy ukrainian claims but it was actually a very grounded analysis of the situation.

Military bases and soldiers are the opposite of soft power

Funny that when Georgia does it, it’s anti-democratic.

Gotta pump those numbers up.

Very much not the case, poverty increased considerably last year

What does Russia have to do with anything? It’s the US military itself that has been having problems with it
