- Comment on Over half of Russia's regions hit by fuel crisis after Ukrainian drone strikes - BBC 1 week ago:
The Far East was the first to be affected.
Moscow and central regions have largely avoided shortages. Fuel is still available at gas stations, although some disruptions occur. In other regions, the shortage has triggered a logistical collapse.
Lol, how did I know before even looking. They’re going to have to ratchet up the pressure to hit Moscow Oblast for this to really tip the scales.

Not entirely sure what you mean but yes?
- Comment on Everybody is fine with celebrities like Whoopi Goldberg making up fake names for themselves, but when someone chooses a name for themselves to suit their gender identity it's suddenly a problem 2 weeks ago:
Ok but why should the justification behind a name change matter? Addressing someone in the by the name which they choose is just a matter of common courtesy.

- Comment on Clip of Chinese academic dismantling Israeli genocide propagandist goes ultra-viral 4 weeks ago:
If that’s how we’re doing things, why didn’t you list out all the things wrong with wherever you live before criticizing him?
- Comment on Clip of Chinese academic dismantling Israeli genocide propagandist goes ultra-viral 4 weeks ago:
He’s an academic, not a government official. I sure as shit don’t want to be tied to the horrible shit my government does without my say.
- Comment on Mods react as Reddit kicks some of them out again: “This will break the site” 4 weeks ago:
The motive is these mods hold a decent amount of power on the platform that they wish to reduce. They don’t want a repeat of the API protests.

Lmao it’s been a minute since I’ve seen this. Guess I’ll go get some Starbucks and watch some Friends to recover from this burn.

What’s your point?
- Comment on Trumps says Venezuelan jets will be 'shot down' if they endanger US ships 1 month ago:
I think the blame mostly lies on Ford there, and I’d say my response speaks more to how low of a bar modern presidencies have set rather than my feelings on East Timor.
- Comment on Trumps says Venezuelan jets will be 'shot down' if they endanger US ships 1 month ago:
You could make a case for the Carter administration. The worst knocks against him were arms sales to Indonesia after their invasion of East Timor and to the Shah before the Iranian Revolution. Probably some reactionary leaders in South America too.
Besides that you’d have to go all the way back to Hoover who may have been completely unequipped to resolve the Great Depression but did do a ton of work with humanitarian food aid during and in the wake of the First World War. It’s very likely he saved tens of millions of lives from starvation.

Gross
- Comment on 4chan refuses to pay UK Online Safety Act fines, asks Trump admin to intervene 1 month ago:
It’s been a long time since I’ve browsed that cesspool, but I remember all the pedos getting banned and going over to the other image boards like 8chan. Been more than a decade though and that was when moot still ran things

- Comment on Microsoft Still Can't Say How Much the ROG Xbox Ally X Will Cost Due to "Macro-Economic" Conditions, Despite Announcing Release Date and Availability Details(Leaked prices $549.99/$899 for Ally/Ally ) 1 month ago:
They walked back the $80 price point, but I definitely agree they’re trying to figure out ways to push people to gamepass. They just keep stepping on rakes

Microsoft seems to be throwing in the towel as far as driving people to their storefront is concerned. They’ll be putting out all their games on anything that can run them.
