I mean the ‘chechn’ bombings were absolutely orchestrated by Putin, that’s how he came to power

They used to get paid by the word back then.

I’m not a fan of Paltro, but… Really?

Do you honestly expect a YouTube channel that makes mid to moderately famous people eat spicy food to be a paragon of journalistic integrity? That’s just silly.

Also, yes she is parody of herself, but personally I reserve that level of vitriol for the Bezeoss and Rumsfelds of the world.

There is nothing Russian about Crimea. It’s former Tatar country. After the Soviets murdered the Tatars, Ukrainians took over.

Maybe, if you consider the ethnic cleansing the soviet’s did. Like getting rid of all the tartars in Crimea. When you send an entire population to the gulag to die, maybe their historic borders don’t matter so much anymore. Is that what you are referring to?

The democratically elected puppet of Russian oil oligarchs. He had loaves of gold hidden in his mansion.

Don’t try to strawman me with the bad guy no reason BS. I stated before and I will say it again. It’s oil and gas. That’s the reason.

Russia invaded in 2014 because they didn’t want their oil and gas market to be undermined by Ukraine.

Ignore Ukraine fighting Russians who invaded their country? I thought that was the point?

Are you trying to stand by the bald faced lie that ‘its just locals who disagree’ over booting out the extremely corrupt Yanukovych? Just locals with Russian military tech shooting down MH17.

I’m sure the oil and gas discoveries prior to the 2014 invasion had nothing to do with it.

What really blows my mind is the tankies ignoring Ukraine trying to nationalize the energy sector ahead of Russia’s invasion.

I had a friend who’s dad was an engineer from France. They had a laser disc rom on their computer it was wild. We just played Scorched Earth.

Damn, I lost the jumper. I can pull one off my audio card, luckily I don’t have to change the default IRQ, I don’t have any conflicts.

I remember having to rewind the cassette then hitting reset on the counter, then fast forward to the place on the tape where your program began then entering LOAD then pressing play… All for the crappiest artillery game…

When COVID shut down my state (we were considered essential) we got furloughed one day a week. I was getting paid less so I was concerned, but it was honestly the best thing to happen to me. We started a garden, I got so much more done. I was healthier and happier.

Going back to 5 days a week, and longer commute (no more COVID clear freeways), I can absolutely feel my life shortening. I’ve gained a ton of weight, and increased stress significantly.
