This is a prime example of Russo-Finnish relations. PERKELE!

Exactly. The US technically can end the Russo-Ukrainian War any time it wants. All they gotta do is go “boots on the ground”, but that carries problems of its own. Mainly that Russia is a nuclear power and Putin himself has said he’s not afraid to launch.
Yeah, until the ToS changes and the manufacturer bricks the heart because they missed a payment. Or said something online they don’t agree with, or joined a group they don’t like or any one of 100 other things.
I have a family member with an artificial heart and that is a worry of mine, that one day such implants will need you to agree to ToS in order to ensure continued operation.
Exactly. One side openly embraces fascism, while the other side actively fights progressive voices. If there’s one thing I hate about voting Democrat, it’s that every time progressives try to actually get power, and try to do something positive, for real people, the Establishment members of the party just drown them out with more money.
as demonstrated by Putin saying Ukraine is actually Russian because it’s historically part of the Russian empire
Funny that he says “Russian Empire”, because Russia hasn’t been an Empire since Tsar Nicholas II. Is he trying to go back to those days, like try to install himself as Tsar?
Yep. Until the find a way to remotely brick your vehicle like how John Deere does to its farm equipment if you hack the software. Or Microsoft bricking your PC if you don’t have Genuine Windows installed.
The only difference between Musk and Rush is that Musk doesn’t board his own rockets if he thinks they’re going to kill him. Rush knew his little toy sub wasn’t safe. Not only that, but he convinced other rich idiots that it was and conned them into getting on board with him.
Exactly. Look at what happened with the OceanGate II Scandal. Stockton Rush, founder of the company was killed when he thought he could bend reality to his will. But the laws of physics can’t be bribed or bullied. They can be bent, but not broken. He was told by the manufacturer of the carbon fiber tube that was his submarine that it would not be suitable for use in a high pressure environment. He even fired his own safety guy because he never wanted to be told “no”.
I love that they added the part where he said “Any people that’s been persecuted for two thousand years must have done something wrong.”
They’re in the top 1% for Argentina, not globally. I mean, it would be nice if every worker made US wages. It’s kinda fucked though that even the lowest paid workers in America can live like kings in the Philippines. I make $42k/yr as an electrical assembler at a plant that manufactures environmental test chambers. If I take my PTO and go to almost any other country, especially Argentina, I can live like royalty for a week.
They figure looking at funny cat videos is worth the spam. Of course, I like the idea of paying users for their data. If data is the new oil, and we are the oil wells, it’s time they paid for it.
Except in this case I think that American Catholics are more willing to resort to violence and, even if the schism doesn’t make it all the way to St. Peter’s Basilica, it could be messy in the US and parishes aligned with the Pope come under attack by members of parishes not aligned with the Pope.
You’re basically exchanging a world-ending Gray Goo Scenario for a world-ending Green Goo Scenario.
As a history scholar, I’ve learned that the last time there was a major schism, it was bloody and violent. How bad would it be this time around? And, as a non-Catholic, how would I be affected? The answers to these questions will determine how I prepare for the event.
WW3: Deutschland Redemption Arc?
I’ve since heard people try to walk it back as a flawed model,
That’s interesting. Who is trying to walk Maslow’s Hierarchy back? And to what end? I mean, I can think of a few motives, but I have no way of knowing if I hit the mark. Perhaps to convince the poor that having more money won’t meet their needs?
Reminds me of the Havana Syndrome event at the US and Canada Embassies in Cuba. In 2017 several people who worked there reported feeling strange symptoms from ringing ears to nausea to cognitive dysfunction. Despite several years of research and study no cause was ever found. It was also determined that it could not be caused by a yet-to-be-known weapon by a US adversary. Despite this, the Pentagon still has conducted research in the effects of long-term exposure to RF waves in animals to see if they could make the symptoms of Havana Syndrome manifest.
Except the difference here is that these are idiots who very clearly exposed themselves to UV radiation.
Wake up, Simo Hayha. Finland needs its protector once more.
