That toaster looks older than the one I got during the soviet occupation and everything from then looks 30 years older.

Even if you got money for jewelry why pick the boring pointy piece of glass? There are gems and materials so much cooler than diamonds. My personal favourite is jade.

Google still works in languages other than English, like my workaround has been to just search in Estonian and I’ll usually actually get better results and like zero AI content (AI sucks at Estonian, can’t even get grammar right). So if you wanna use Google learn an obscure language.

Stop subsidising air travel and people are gonna prefer trains and boats real fast.

I guess they really wanted an infinite use invasion item

Been to Russia and live on the border of it. Basically if you have a chance of beating Putin you aren’t going to be an option to vote for. The part of the government who decides who will be the options is controlled by Putin. The approval is pretty much bullshit, I haven’t asked everyone in Russia but I have yet to meet someone who supports Putin, especially after he invaded Ukraine.

How are contracts like this enforceable in the US? Like here you could have a clause like that but the moment you try to sue someone for working at a competitor the judge would just laugh at you and throw your ass out of court. You can’t have just anything in a contract, just like if a contract breaks employment laws then it’s not valid.

Countries really shouldn’t have extradition treaties with the US considering the US refuses to work with the international criminal court and they’ll have like the worst anti whistle-blower laws combined with some of the worst prisons.

Assange should be charged with whatever crimes he committed in his country not in the US.

I guess the US has more luck running a case where they have access to one side at least but it’s not like this does anything as the US has no power to charge Russian citizens not in the US. Like this would sound more meaningful if the US worked with international institutions for this like the International Criminal Court in Hague for example.

Hasn’t Russia tortured like every pow at this point? Why is this special?

Without aid Ukraine would lose more lives.

Why did you ignore the part where I said that the profits for grocery stores soared? Producing food has not become more expensive, that’s all public info here.

Farmers yes, grocery stores not anymore. Profits of companies is public info here and they started racking it in the moment the massive ‘inflation’ started. My parents live near a farm and they just buy veggies directly from them for like a fraction of the price, I unfortunately live in a city though. Prices are better at local markets but there arent many of those.

Yea we have a food inflation pretty close to those measured numbers though in reality its a lot higher and that’s without any caps. Also how could a food price cap cause inflation in food prices? That’s literally the thing you are capping.

Most food here is locally produced, I don’t see how that would create a shortage. Like people aren’t going to sell their grocery stores cuz their margins are thin again and farming is so heavily subsidised that I don’t see it effecting farmers.

I wish my country’s government had the testacles to cap prices on food. I order food mostly online and I compared prices from 2 years ago and most things are at least 200% more expensive, cheese for example is like 600% though.

Ancaps pretty much only exist in the US so elsewhere libertarian still means the original definition.

I’m not even talking about the famines soviet incompetence caused and deliberately worsened. Their death camps killed 1-8 million people, nobody knows exactly how many because, unlike the nazies, soviet records were absolute garbage and all accounts come from guards and prisoners. They also tried to destroy the culture and language of the occupied areas and replace the local population with Russians.

Not a meme considering exactly that happened, they agreed to divide Europe between themselves and not attack each other. Stalin absolutely wanted an alliance with Hitler and nothing indicates he was interested in fighting Hitler until he invaded. He got rid of Jewish diplomats to make Hitler happy. When Hitler invaded he refused to act since he did not want to believe that his ally betrayed him. I don’t doubt Hitler intended to break their alliance. Also are you saying if no one else wants to ally with you then allying with nazies is a good idea?

The US is in a position were they have to choose between eating a turd or shooting themselves I the head every presidential election, this isn’t new.

Also I heard the democrat party aren’t even doing elections within the party. Like that sounded illegal to me until I found out your parties are also corporations which sounded very American. But even with that you don’t have a good choice cuz the alternative is death, so gobble the turd.

Instead the soviet union genocide it’s neighbours while allying with the nazies so that was not an improvement.

Also yea, the US is like the #1 killer of socialist governments, that’s not really news. And I don’t doubt that if it was between anarchists and authoritarians, the authoritarians would shoot the anarchist without hesitation to rule over the working class with an iron fist like it has happened every time so the choice is meaningless, actual socialists die in either case.
