Russia are a huge exporter of fuels used for energy production though.

Let's face it, they will be. As a non American I'm wondering how I can convince our nation to further distance itself from the US as I just don't think they are a partner we should be too tightly coupled to; they're displaying all the signs of an empire on the edge of implosion.

I tried arguing with an anti COVID vaxer recently and pointed out that in my country there were 14 deaths linked to the vaccine, but over 65M doses administered, which means that you're significantly more likely to die in the car on the way to get vaccinated than from the vaccine itself - but apparently I'm the fool for trusting government collected figures. I don't understand how they think the government is hiding all these supposed deaths.

The sad part is that I bet he couldn't point to most of those countries on a map

We spent all our public health goodwill on COVID. A sizable portion of the population will never accept any further restrictions for public health reasons. A smaller but still concerningly large portion will not get any new vaccines because of this.

Just as long as "serve" doesn't mean "pay" because then it's first come never serve.

You think this will make much difference? It's not like the current morons with money are doing a bang-up job.

It's leftie to not like a country aggressively invading another one unprovoked?

NK will imprison their family if they defect, that's the main thing keeping people in NK I believe.

Losing an entire generation of productive and reproductive people is not going to do their nation any good.

Will the North Koreans get sufficient rations? It might be no worse than being at home.

I don't think Frasier would work without Frasier

Can confirm that our house spiders are pretty tough. A car ran off the road and into the front wall of my house spider last year and it barely left a mark. We still live here.

They are invading a country unprovoked . The country is made up of civilians. Weren't they breaking international law when the first shot was fired?

That was my comment about the amount that should be charged. I'll happily pay $5/mo, but not $15. I'm happy to pay for services, just not the amount that many want to charge.

I pay less than 5usd for a family plan, I just subscribed through a developing nation with a VPN.

If you watch ads instead of paying a modest fee to remove them then you're a clown. Companies do need to make money for the services they provide, I just disagree with the amount.

We used to use them for the same thing in Kmart (Australia) when I worked there 20 years ago. They were used to clear the float so you didn't have too much cash in the register. Now that 90% of transactions are on card I bet they don't use them anymore.

They work in tech, promotions are achieved by moving employers. Internal mobility is always terrible in tech companies.

I spent a lot of time in a few forums in the 00s. Many of them still exist but they are shells of what they used to be. One that I check into once a year or so has about one post per year - and it's normally a post asking if anyone is still there. The owner keeps it running as a memorial to one of the mods who has passed.
