zik,

I think about 18 billion of that was me

zik,

I wonder how many thousands of people died as a result.

zik,

They’re not wrong that democracy’s under threat. But maybe the threat’s from the guy who has literally said he’s going to murder political opponents - y’know, the guy they support.

zik,

When I lived in Switzerland I literally used a bike to haul furniture (flat packed). Honestly it’s easier than you might imagine.

I brought a big tv home on my bike too. It’s quite achievable, if awkward.

But a cargo bike would have been a better choice than my conventional bike.

zik,

It’s a very cheap and low effort way to reduce Russia’s ability to invade across Europe and stomp a bunch of NATO countries.

zik,

For Australians: they mean American opossums, not Australian possums. Our cute little marsupial friends have appropriately wrinkly brains, thank goodness.

Russia to Hire Contract Soldiers in Bid to Avoid Unpopular Draft (www.bloomberg.com)

Russia to Hire Contract Soldiers in Bid to Avoid Unpopular Draft. Russia is preparing to enlist more contract soldiers as it presses its invasion of Ukraine, aiming to avoid at least for now another mass call-up that could undermine popular support for the war

zik,

“They banned mercenaries so we’ll just call them something different”

zik,

In my country that means you wouldn’t respect (for instance) ordinary people who’ve paid off a house. 1 million isn’t as much money as it used to be.

zik,

You mean aside from the ex-president?

zik,

And then there’s the sad story of Melbourne’s Waverley Park, a large stadium which they built in an area with no decent public transport. What happens when you build Melbourne’s largest stadium with >100,000 capacity, and also a large but inadequate 25,000 car spots and no usable public transport?

It was never filled since they simply couldn’t get enough people to it. Also even then it apparently took hours just to get out of the parking lot after a game. It ended up failing as a stadium and being converted into housing years later.

zik,

Given their genocide in Western Ukraine I’d say that letting Russia overrun the country will result in a lot of deaths.

zik, (edited )

This is a photo of a human body crushed by tanks during the Tianamen Square massacre.

From here, with many more photos from the massacre.

“No photographic evidence is available” you say?

zik,

It’s going to be a couple of million when all the displaced people starve to death.

zik,

I honestly don’t know why people go to restaurants in the US. I don’t want a guilt trip from the waiter with my expensive meal. Talk about a buzz kill.

zik,

Honestly one of the more probable claims I’ve seen about rust.

zik,

My sister had a friend who lived in a lesbian community. Oh my God the drama. I heard about it third hand and it was wild the number of crazy public screaming matches that happened and people who couldn’t ever be in the same room as other people etc.

“Men is too headache”?

Try putting a bunch of women together and see what happens.

zik,

It was actually a small town which was known for its lesbian community. ie. Just a place with a larger than normal number of lesbian living there. The town was known for being lesbian aware and lesbian friendly in general - which isn’t something you can say of everywhere.

zik,

That’s just how good you are.

zik,

It seems like the sequel was doomed anyway - the videos I saw seemed directionless and didn’t capture the charm of the original at all.

zik,

If you go into this game for the gun combat you’re probably playing the wrong game.

zik,

Well it’s not really a gun game. So not guns.

zik,

It’s almost like people are incapable of comprehending that all types of pollution are important, not just one or the other. Exhaust emissions are bad. Tyre pollution is also bad. Reducing one is a good step. Reducing both would be even better.

zik,

It’s probably been in development since 2009 when it was cutting edge.
