The amount of money made by “the West” in Russia from Yeltsin era corruption was not significant. Things like increased worker productivity and deflationary effects from offshoring and technological advancement were primarily responsible for the booming 90s economy.
Your redefinition of “tankie” also doesn’t make sense. Tankies would never believe a war on Russia was deserved, that’s the exact opposite of what they are about.
I’m disappointed in the screens they used but it unfortunately makes sense that 4k microOLED isn’t feasible. I wish the new controllers supported Lighthouse tracking too. If the new controllers really are proprietary to just this single HMD that’s a big failure in my opinion.
They had keys, the husband tried first and then when the wife tried she was shot in the head through the door. I don’t think it changes anything, cleaners showing up at the wrong house never posed any threat and the shooter seemingly made no attempt at identifying who was at their door.
I remember when Adbusters started Buy Nothing day. It’s deeply ironic it’s now become a product. We’re living in the future they warned us about.
Eucalyptus look quite different when young, you may have been only seeing pictures of mature specimens.
Sports paraphernalia or memorabilia.
It’s common advice but not necessarily common practice. A huge number of people live paycheck to paycheck, including those with higher incomes.
Hochul has been at campaign events with Mamdani within just the past several days, it doesn’t really look like she is distancing herself from him when you can find them literally on a stage together. I do agree about Jeffries, I think he is trying to be strategic because of his role in the House, but he sucks too much to pull it off so instead he just looks like an ass. If he was a better politician he could have threaded the needle. In some ways his non-endorsement may have ultimately benefited Mamdani, Democratic leadership is very unpopular right now and having obvious disagreement within the party over Mamdani validates his outsider image.
Grey Poupon is not fancy mustard. You can buy that shit in any grocery store, it was developed by food scientists and is mass produced in giant semi-automated factories. It’s also not particularly expensive. If you can only afford yellow mustard but not Grey Poupon you shouldn’t be buying any mustard because your budget is way too tight to be paying for condiments you can get free in a fast food restaurant.
There’s been Speakers of the House who raped kids so that is really saying a lot about Mike Johnson to call him the worst.
This shit drives me nuts. I’ve put in a lot of effort to secure my accounts but a number of them require SMS without any opt out. We have known about the risks of SMS plenty long enough at this point.
I’m not following. Whether or not drugs are onboard is irrelevant. Even if they can definitively prove drugs are onboard, it is still a crime for the US military to kill these people. This is categorically an illegitimate use of force. The only possible justification for this is if these boats were armed and posed an imminent threat, which obviously is not applicable.
At least some of them may have drugs. It doesn’t matter though because even with illegal drugs aboard these boats are still not legitimate military targets. These attacks by the US military are inherently criminal.
If you take part of the guys statement and ignore the rest of it, and fixate on him not using the precise words “stand up”, I guess I can understand what you are getting at. But in context, he seems to be expressing the exact opposite of what you are claiming.
I think it is more a common American mentality that he embodies rather than a lifestyle. His actual lifestyle is completely alien to most humans.
Can you expand on why you believe this?
I once had a phone with uninstallable Facebook bullshit and it is more than mildly infuriating. Fuck Nothing, they are dead to me now. This is unforgivable.
He is going to try nuking a hurricane again.
How old is the cat? It’s only 1 ear or both ears?
