As according to pro-Russia trolls here on Lemmy, Ukraine is losing the war, I wonder how much damage they would do to the Russian fleet, if they were actually winning
Yeah and it’s been Russian military strategy for nearly as long. Idk if Russia will win, but as it is now both countries will struggle under the weight of the loss of population and resources and immense debt that they’re incurring. For Ukraine it’s obviously worth it, but for Russia, I struggle to see how it’s worth it because even victory will come with an angry edge province and political instability.
You are correct in my opinion. It seems whoever orchestrated that thought it would be the second Crimea, forgot Ukraine had 8 years to prepare (even with a shared soviet corruption problems and cheap traitors) and completely ignored the historical case of their resistance in and post WW2. One magazine even published a postponned article summarizing the achievements of russian warriors, and there were public persons speculating about taking Kiyv in three days. Even if you ignore them normalizing of such an act at all, they were sniffing their farts while planning it and thinking it’d go alright.
SWALWELL: Any time your father was in government, prior to the Presidency or before, did he ever operate a hotel?
BIDEN: No, he has never operated a hotel.
SWALWELL: So he’s never operated a hotel where foreign nationals spent millions at that hotel while he was in office?
BIDEN: No, he has not.
SWALWELL: Did your father ever employ in the Oval Office any direct family member to also work in the Oval Office?
BIDEN: My father has never employed any direct family members, to my knowledge.
SWALWELL: While your father was President, did anyone in the family receive 41 trademarks from China?
BIDEN: No.
SWALWELL: As President and the leader of the party, has your father ever tried to install as the chairperson of the party a daughter-in-law or anyone else in the family?
BIDEN: No. And I don’t think that anyone in my family would be crazy enough to want to be the chairperson of the DNC.
SWALWELL: Has your father ever in his time as an adult been fined $355 million by any State that he worked in?
BIDEN: No, he has not, thank God.
SWALWELL: Anyone in your family ever strike a multibillion dollar deal with the Saudi Government while your father was in office?
I’m glad we continue to allow international students to work. When we couple them with temporary foreign workers, maybe one day we can ensure no Canadians are employed.
If your company can’t afford to pay Canadians and instead needs to exploit overseas workers, then your company shouldn’t exist.
Why is there so much whatever over a big tv/monitor, and a webcam…I really don’t get humans fascinations with this when they presumably all own the same stuff at home.
Lol nope! Republic of Ireland has been a heavily-Catholic country since its inception. It's lightened in recent years and some surprises do slip through but that ain't one of them.
Because they find gay sex unappealing, seems to be the main reason. If you point out that that is simply because they’re not gay, they are unable to understand the point.
It’s the enjoying part that is frowned upon. They assume everyone loves seeing boobs so they must be punished for that. A bare man ass is comical at best for most. If they thought people were enjoying it they must be punished
Catholics believe that any sexual activity that doesn't have a chance of making a baby is sinful. Gays obviously can't make babies as a normal part of their love making, so that's where the whole 'being gay is sinful' bit comes from
I think this is a regional thing, as you just made me doubt myself.
I’ve ordered car bombs here in the Midwest and it’s always been whiskey and a stout. I don’t know if I’d call anything with just coffee liqueur in it a “car bomb” that’s not a very strong drink.
A quick Wikipedia check says it can be either Irish cream or whiskey, and that the names are somewhat interchangeable.
Irish carbomb is a glass of Guinness and half a shot of Jameson Irish whiskey and half a shot of bailey’s Irish creme. Drop the shot in and chug the delicious concoction.
See, where I’m from, a carbomb is a cocktail made from beer and hard liquor. We’ve got Chicago carbombs/handshakes which is Malort and Old Style. I’ve even had a Mexican carbomb with tequila and Modelo.
Coffee liqueur and beer isn’t really a thing where I’m from, in the heart of corn country. So you’re the one drinking milk shakes at the bar as far as I’m concerned.
Maybe instead of being a dick to people because of where they happen to live, you could try to learn about cultural and regional differences.
Oh of course your a dumb fuck from Chicago it all makes sense. All that wind and bullshit spewing from your fat face. Only the mentally challenged would pay to drink malort. I bet you drank those Mexican carbombs on “Mexican Independence Day” or Cinco de mayo 😂.
That doesn’t really seem very equivalent. The closest equivalence I can think of is either the terrorism of the founding fathers, which is too far back to really strike the same chord, or maybe like, american drone strikes or something. Or, maybe if I was feeling particularly cheeky, I might compare it to the violence enacted by the civil rights movement, since that was also a domestic american liberation movement maybe comparable to the IRA, but, I dunno. not really any american style equivalence there.
I’m not saying it was a good thing to do, but once you have that idea, it becomes an irresistible temptation. The 9/11 one, although I guess it might be true of the other one, too.
If a guy went topless nobody would have given a fuck is the more appropriate comparison, the fact that you have to intentionally reach for the wrong example to make your point work is proof, that the people calling you misogynistic are not far off.
Women tend to have more tissue and larger size as a secondary sex characteristic, but both men and women develop breast tissue. Men and women both have breasts.
Congratulations on learning something new! Guys have always had breasts. That’s the way human anatomy works. They may not be as developed, but they’re always there to some degree. They can even excrete liquid through their nipples in some cases!
The fetus forms the breast tissue and nipples before the emergence of testosterone. Here is an article. But it doesn’t matter because you live in your own reality and won’t believe anybody no matter what they link. So no, I won’t apologize.
And now the goalpost moves from illegal enough to deserve being locked up, to “inappropriate behavior” in the opinion of the people running the webcam.
yes, it’s when an immature jerk on the internet thinks it’s okay to insult a woman because she had the absolute nerve to earn money in a way his puritan mindset doesn’t approve of.
In New York, women have the same rights as men as far as those laws are concerned. There are annual topless bike rides, for fuck’s sake. Damn puritans trying to force their religious repression on the rest of us. Same people would’ve publicly whipped women for showing their ankles had they been born a bit earlier.
And People probably don’t agree that of girls are 304’s, that’s why. Even though it was just an explanation, they still don’t agree with the naming, so it causes downvotes.
Yeah, it’s probably shooting the messenger. Reminds me of once on Reddit where someone had asked a similar question and I’d replied with a sourced quote from the dictionary and got complaining replies and downvotes.
It’s a derogatory term used to dehumanize people. I call a prostitute a sex worker out of respect, but it’s entirely irrelevant to this conversation unless you’re just gonna go off on a completely different level of misogyny.
Do you also attack dictionaries for explaining offensive words? The person I’m talking to never used the term, they merely explained the meaning behind the number.
What you are doing is shooting the messenger. Please target your outrage more carefully in future.
I don’t know what they were hoping to accomplish, a lot of Americans practically observe 9/11 as a holiday, complete with documentaries showing off all the footage we have
Are new yorkers really that high strung about it? I would think if anything they’d get more mad about like, insults to hot dog carts or something, but that might strike me more as a philly or chicago kind of thing, come to think of it. Maybe bagels? I feel like the average new york bagel is probably a better kind of undersung food hero, compared to the average overpriced to shit new york slice.
There was a similar thing done as an art installation between London and New York called the Telectroscope in 2008. Apparently it was the site of a few marriage proposals.
I bet some people flashed that one and such too, but I could find no indication that it was shut down because of that.
It feels like society has backslid tremendously on some freedoms in the past 15 years, particularly where it comes to prudishness.
These days we even have otherwise progressive people jumping on the prude bandwagon along with hyper religious controlling anti feminists and it just makes for such strange bedfellows.
I really don’t know why the people who set this up didn’t foresee this sort of thing happening in a link between New York and Dublin. Maybe if you want to hope this sort of thing doesn’t happen, link up Champaign, Illinois to Uppsala, Sweden.
What so Sven can walk by and see an obese man in a trucker hat double fisting Big Gulps? On second thought sure, it’d be a zoo attraction for the Swedes.
Ah yes, let’s link up a college town with a bunch of drunk kids with a complete lack of inhibition and a similar perceived lack of consequences. It will surely work great.
