But those were in the pre-Pizza Hut days, how could that possibly be their greatest time!?
Seriously though, not really that surprising given what we often hear from people who had lived in more than the dying gasp of the soviet union. I might be a little bit surprised because I thought liberal talking points had penetrated the younger generation more, but that seems to not be the case. I would probably need to read more details on the poll though to be honest.
There is a non-zero chance the account runners aren't actually located there anyway. They are totally aware of what they are doing, appealing to the western warmongers who will highfive and talk about how bad a burn it was to Russia. If you told me that the account was run by a US social media manager or something, I would believe it.
Of course not, they label themselves a defensive alliance. Which means it is 100% true and they can't possibly be imperialist. Any territory they claim is driven by uh...defense.
But as The Spectre of Communism, you strike fear into their hearts. Really they have no other option but to ban you, look at that fearsome profile picture.
So in an attempt to thwart imagined Chinese propaganda, USians have pushed their user base into actual Chinese platforms. If even a portion of those users come to the realization that China are not evil harry potter villains, it would be a net win.
I would say it is one of the US's bigger own-goals, but they have had so many.
I get this is literally the memes community, but I have a feeling this guy is innocent and is just going to get scapegoated and railroaded because the authorities need a win on this case. So I am not the biggest fan of latching on to him as the hero of the assassination unless we definitely know it is him, which does not appear to be the case.
Private security firms across the country must be salivating though, CEOs not going to step foot outside without a dozen armed guards.
Pajitnov moved to the US in the 90s, started the Tetris company, and has had political positions pretty sympathetic to the US. Tetris company mostly just exists to liscense out Tetris and sue people.
The Dead Cells takeover wasn’t anything shady really. Evil Empire (the current team) was created by Motion Twin because they wanted to expand development as a bigger studio and found their structure made that difficult. Motion Twin remains a coop and retains creative control of the IP.
Tetris I suppose, but that kind of is the low-hanging fruit. Especially since it was basically made by one person who has gone on to be...pretty capitalist.
Disco Elysium is probably the best example, but the developers were basically ousted and the license was usurped. I would suggest finding alternative ways to get the game that won't profit the usurpers.
Dead Cells used to be developed by a workers collective (Motion Twin) though the team that took over (Evil Empire) is not a coop. Motion Twin was still involved in the Evil Empire projects as far as I am aware.
Stray Bombay (The Anacrusis) is organised as a co-op, I think.
Aa yes, refusing to acknowledge Russia as a proper noun is really going to show them who is boss."The Canada" is a weird affectation that almost seems like a passive-aggressive reprisal to people who said 'the Ukraine'.
" In 2022, the museum of Ukrainian Poster recognized him as the best poster artist in the country." That...is a sentence.
Every minute I look at this, I just find new more terrible things.
I never really got into the western comics thing, so I wasn't really aware of her, but I don't think I lost much of value. I have since seen her described as an "alleged actor", which does give me some nice petty chuckles.
Well, brightside is it saves you a few thousand dollars on renouncing your citizenship. It isn't a cheap or easy process normally.
