That wasn’t what happened. Someone was spouting off about how Biden wanted to take everyone’s guns after seeing a manipulated video then threw out the ”I pay your salary, you work for me” line that every jackass like to throw at public employees like police or people just doing their job at the DMV.

They shouldn’t have had storage issues, they were never going to host images or communities. They simply were an instance that only federated with nsfw instances so all could be only porn.

I forgot, when did Putin join NATO?

“Vladimir Putin’s chief envoy on Ukraine told the Russian leader as the war began that he had struck a provisional deal with Kyiv that would satisfy Russia’s demand that Ukraine stay out of NATO, but Putin rejected it and pressed ahead with his military campaign, according to three people close to the Russian leadership.

Oh, when Russia would have had to withdraw to its position on February 23 and therefore Ukraine would sacrifice Donbas and Crimea and hand wave away a bunch of war crimes in exchange for not joining NATO.

Seems like a real balanced solution.

That number is the estimated combined Russian and Ukrainian wounded and casualties. Try to actually be informed instead of parroting tankie talking points comrade.

Cool, so about ten years after illegal occupation and seizure you’re cool with the rationale of “no takesie backsies” and you still believe Putin will actually stop there.

Have I got a bridge to sell you.

You actually believe that protest was spontaneous by residents.

I’m sorry, I was lying before; the bridge isn’t really for sale. I morally can’t feel good about taking advantage of someone that gullible*.

• PS- If anyone ever tries to tell you “someone wrote gullible on the ceiling” or “you dropped your pocket” they are trying to get you to look to make you look silly. It’s actually a joke at your expense, I just thought someone should warn you.

That argument works just as well for justification of American colonialism and the destruction of Indigenous Americans. Congratulations, that is one amazing take. I’m not even mad, That level of take is amazing. I’m impressed

On a short-timeline view (which is exactly what we have now in this conflict) that “stalemate that just feeds people into the grinder that doesn’t achieve a military objective*” is exactly what we had at multiple points during the colonial period. Wars like Father Le Loutre’s War also spilled over to non combatant citizens just like Russia’s Soldiers have targeted. For that matter, that’s been true of just about any period where one nation invaded another to claim them. The only real difference now is we have gotten exceptionally effective at killing people so the totals are far higher.

Crack a fucking history book. Justification of aggression and invasion against a sovereign nation is a new low.

*- keeping an invading force from progressing is an objective, just ask the North Vietnamese. But you probably think they should have surrendered too based on your logic.

He just came back and took over for Bob Chapek in November. The strike was authorized in April. At this point half of the time since he came back, WGA has been on strike.
