I love how you trolls always start making personal attacks when faced with news you don’t like. Also love how you’re insinuating that official Ukrainian media is disinformation.

I’m not really clear on what the plan is either. The US failed in their attempt at isolating China economically, they don’t have military capacity to subjugate China by force, and they’re entirely dependent on China economically. This would be a comical situation if the US didn’t sit on a giant nuclear stockpile.

Which is the desirable outcome if the government represents the working class and exercises violence against attempts at a capitalist counterrevolution.

Right, and that’s why talk of authoritarianism is infantile. The question that’s actually important is whose interest the government represents.

the worry I have is that it would end in a nuclear holocaust because the US regime would rather kills us all than accept that it’s no longer the global hegemon

A local park, looks especially awesome in fall when it’s foggy. Some pics from last year.

the west doesn’t have industrial capacity to fight ww3

I’m not deflecting from anything. I’m simply pointing out the fact that Germans are supporting a genocide, so your claim that you don’t want to get Russian energy because of the war is pure bullshit. I love how you trolls just memorize a handful of personal attacks that you regurgitate whenever you’re faced with the fact that you are the genocidal scum. Everyone can see you fascists exactly for what you are.

The actual genocide that’s happening right now is in Palestine and Germans are backing to the hilt.

To be fair, only 19% think it’s getting better. The other 30% or so just haven’t noticed much change yet I guess.

.world is basically a liberal bot farm at this point

Yeah, for a decent entry level camera it’s around a thousand bucks, and lenses tend to go for close to that as well. If you do decide to go for it at some point, something like Sony A6100, is a good starter. I started on the older A6000 model, and it served me pretty well.

That’s how I started originally. I’d just walk around and if I saw something that looked neat, I’d snap a pic with my phone. And then I figured getting an actual camera might be a good pretext to get out of the house. The lockdowns kind of sealed the deal since I started getting cabin fever with nowhere to go. :)

The parliament did vote to close it, and I’m betting that’s really what forced the US to back off cause they realized an energy market crisis would be a domestic disaster. That’s the nuclear option Iran has.

Thanks, I find processing the photos tends to be half the fun. There are a lot of blackbirds around here, and they’re very feisty. Sometimes they’ll even attack hawks, and dive bomb people if they pass to close. But they’ll also eat seeds right out of your hand. And titmouses definitely look neat. I like the color scheme, and the mohawk is very cool. Apparently they do come to Ontario, but I’ve yet to see one myself.

It’s definitely a fun hobby, although a bit pricey in terms of gear. And I very much agree, just being around nature makes you feel better and allows you to think clearly. I was between jobs for a couple of months a few years ago, and I spent the whole summer going to the park. I’d get up around 6 in the morning, leave my phone at home, and go spend the whole day at the park. It was the happiest I can recall being in my adult life. Completely disconnected from everything, and just vibing.

I started with plants, but moved on to birds and occasional critters like chipmunks. Birds definitely take a bit of patience to get nice shots I find. I post some of my stuff on here https://pixelfed.social/Yogthos
