Saw some people go through it and it has pretty much all the markers for shitty AI writing. Em-dashes, ‘it’s not just x, it’s y’, rules of three, everything. It’s AI slop.

I don’t know that person. They don’t exist. I do.

Yes please put him down for us. Thanks.

What you’re telling me is I can comfortably house a raccoon up my ass. Why wouldn’t I? In this housing market? I could be charging rent!

Acceptable

Incredible research tbh. It goes to show just how cruel child labour really is. More attention should be put on the working class’ plight throughout history so I’m really glad this gets to add to our shared history.

Thank you for sharing this btw, wouldn’t have found this anywhere on my own so it’s cool to find it here!

Maybe people suspect it’s not just a vegan diet but also steroids n shit. Don’t know if steroids are vegan though.

Glad to hear it, I use Libreoffice myself so I’m happy I don’t have to drop it

Isn’t that just Mastodon?

Meanwhile the US has no qualms about supporting the UAE that is funding and arming the RSF

And yes. Fuck the US.

The US is considering largely leaving the region now apparently

Which means they finally did it, the bastards

Regime change

The only thing we will not get before GTA 6 is the full and unredacted Epstein files.

I respect shitposters a lot more than anyone could ever respect you lmfao

This was already argued extensively. Basically what happens is the standard infantry gear every Russian soldier is fitted with sucks. No armor plating (or if there is, it’s fake), shitty weaponry, shitty helmets if at all. Hardly any cooking gear or anything at all really.

Now, second to understand is that the Russian army is basically a racket from top to bottom. If you start at the bottom, sucks man. You get extorted and people beat the shit out of you regularly.

So why Wildberries? When you’re conscripted into the army (and yes, conscription does actually occur quite regularly now in Russia) you’re going to need… stuff. To survive. Helmets, armor plating, a drinking tin, anything at all to survive basically. For yourself? Perhaps. If you’re Lucky. Most likely though your commander will beat you into buying it for him and he’ll pawn it off to someone else.

This has created a massive market for military gear to be sold by webshops like Wildberries where they sell armor plating, vests, jackets, boots, helmets, camping gear, med kits, you name it. It has essentially become a grey market.

That’s why Ukraine is claiming these are legitimate targets. They are, after all, supplying the Russian army in a way. Whether you agree with that stance is up to you, but that’s what their argument boils down to basically.

Edit; and to add: if Russia does not want Wildberries to be a legitimate target, it is also incumbent on them to make it not a legitimate target by restricting the sales of military gear for example. It is up to Russia to keep military and civilian strictly separate but as we know from Russian actions like using schools, hospitals and even a nuclear power plant as storage and/or staging areas for future assaults,

they don’t give a flying fuck about the distinction between civilian and military. Any claim from Russia that these are ‘not legitimate targets’ will inevitably be met with every single fucking civilian target that Russia has hit since the start of this war, from apartment buildings to train stations to a guy on a market with a fucking vegetable stand being hunted by a drone. So don’t come asking stupid questions and acting sanctimonious here and accusing Ukraine of these things while ignoring Russian actions.

No doubt the takeaway from the article is supposed to be ‘just use Brave’ instead of ‘don’t fucking use AliExpress’

You know, I like Ramaswamy. I like seeing him speak. He’s such a fucking buffoon. An absolute fool of a man. Absolutely terrible at everything he does. It’s a marvel to behold, like a traincrash you can’t look away from. Keep spending up those funds buddy. You got this.

I mean, yea no shit

I hate this headline. It’s not an actual bank. It’s a storage facility that provides financial products to the producers of PR who need a steady cashflow for day to day operations and can’t afford to wait until the cheese wheels are mature and ready to be sold. So the storage place provides this steady cashflow with the cheese as collatoral basically.

With Europe’s recent heatwaves the facilities that store these wheels are struggling to keep the wheels at the right temperature to make sure they mature right. If they lose the wheels, they lose their collatoral and the whole thing runs the risk of collapsing.

This headline implies that Italy’s banks deal solely in cheese which, even though it would be very funny, is just ludicrous. It’s clickbait nonsense really.

Gotta shoot out the window a couple times per year to keep the rent low
