How’s that for dead internet theory?
It’s the wall the Romanovs were lined up against when they were executed by the Bolsheviks.
Edit: here’s the image it was cropped from.
I haven’t watched it either, so don’t know if it’s any good.
Eastern Slav Republic is a fictional country from the Resident Evil/Biohazard series of games.
Earlier in the comment they say “I think RE Damnation perfectly shows how effective they are.” Resident Evil Damnation was a 2012 Resident Evil film set largely in the Eastern Slav Republic.
This is just some gamer wanking about how much better the US is than generic fictional eastern European country number 42069 from their heckin’ video gamerinos. May as well compare the US’ arsenal to Atlantis’.
ETA: commenter is also full of shit about how well America’d do 'cos the majority of the Resident Evil series is BOW attacks on US soil with huge death tolls. Multiple American cities get nuked across the series partly to stop the spread of this-or-that virus.
There was this bloke who used to sit at the train station close to the uni I was attending at the time, he’d drink cans of alcohol and do a little trainspotting. We talked a couple of times and he gave me some advice that helped me get out of my shell and talk to people a lot more. I must’ve only chatted with him, like, once or twice but I think it made all the difference in pushing me into making friends in what would otherwise’ve been a very lonely and isolated part of my life.
Not sure if I’d class it as the craziest moment of my life, but it was like a scene out of a sitcom:
When I was a teenager I briefly worked part-time at a place that refurbished various household appliances. Donations came in through the front and ended up in back with very little looking over. We took all sorts in and the workshop floor was split into various departments based on what appliances they dealt with. I was a new hire and they were still cycling me 'round various departments, my least favourite one was when I was assigned to cleaning out used ovens.
One day this box came in and, like, we opened it up and there were various electronic massaging gizmos. So, my supervisor is pulling 'em out, he passes some of 'em to me to give a lookover to make sure they’re clean and do, like, PAT tests and stuff.
I’m plodding along and he gets to work on the rest himself. I’m doing the tests on this thing that’s like a plastic plate with this piece on the top vaguely shaped like a pair of cupped hands, when my supervisor calls me over to lend a hand. He’s got this black tube that goes a bit wider on one end, about as thick as my wrist. It looked kinda like a torch but with a cap screwed over the bit the light’s in.
His hands are a bit slippy so he’s having a hard time unscrewing the cap, so he asked me to have a go. Wider end pointed away from me, I wrapped my hand around the cap and gave it a good twist. The first clue I had that something was amiss was that my supervisor went bright red. I asked him what’s wrong and just told me to see for myself, so I turn the thing in my hand and see this silicone orifice looking back at me.
That was how I learnt what a fleshlight is.
NO
Tankie has been shifting way beyond its original meaning to just be a vague leftward stab, but being an anarchist and everything I don’t think it applies to me just yet
From my own brief personal interactions with Vaughan Gething, I got the opinion he’s a bit of a dick.
I feel somewhat validated in my estimations now his sketchy political dealings have come to light.
Winston Churchill ascending to Prime minister without an election and then promptly killing about 3 million in Bengal alone doesn’t count then?
It’s all about consolidation of power, isn’t it? This close to an election Labour can skip the typical candidate selection process. This allows Starmer to purge his biggest critics in the party and replace them with whatever Blairite cronies briefcase Labour has most recently shat onto his desk.
Britain in 1950 famously a time where there wasn’t an influx of immigration as part of an attempt to rebuild the dwindling workforce in the wake of WW2.
When I was still in the closet, I grew and maintained a big beard as part of my attempts at performative masculinity.
Not saying that this is what’s happening with most men who’re growing 'em out, but sometimes I see a bloke with a well maintained set of facial hair looking absolutely miserable and my egg radar starts shrieking.
No it’s just thinly veiled Islamophobia.
Some fascists have an urban myth that since pork is haram, Muslims shot by a bullet covered in lard go to hell.
Chechnya has a lot of Muslims and Ramzan Kadyrov is the head of state of Chechnya, so “Kadyrov orcs” is a dog whistle for Muslims.
I can suggest an equation that has the potential to impact the future:
Acetyl-CoA + 3H2O + 3NAD+ + FAD + ADP + Pi → 2CO2 + 3NADH + 3H+ + FADH2 + CoA-SH + ATP + H2O + AI
This combines the Krebs Cycle which relates to glucose metabolism with the addition of artificial intelligence (AI). By including AI in the equation, it symbolises my ability to wank myself to completion without touching my cock, simply by massaging my engorged ego.
Favourites
artsy (for sorting all the pretentious crap)
And then the rest are sorted via genre tag.
Reminder: the Israeli state is doing all this and worse behind closed doors to innocent people. Big CW for descriptions of torture and SA behind this link
Torture is an inexcusable evil, but the the Great Satan and its vassals still hold the overwhelming monopoly on it. Guantanamo Bay, Abu Ghraib, etc.
Fuck Russia, but if you only care now they’re doing it, rethink your priorities.
Not a yank so know fuck all about most of these but:
Protecting reproductive rights despite Roe V Wade repeal
“I’m totally protecting abortion everyone!” Does nothing
Inflation reduction
Means inflation is still increasing just at a slower rate, effectively meaningless for most people.
Or, like, any of Britain’s former industrial core.
Another unnecessary sequel?
I’m gonna skip this one, let me know when they put Jesus in space, or make him fight Jason Voorhees, or whatever these sortsa franchises do when they run outta ideas.
