Ah yes Russia, please antagonise the country with one of the highest artillery shell stockpiles and production capacities in the world, what bad thing could result from that?

Most activist organizations tend to do things that perpetuate themselves instead of trying to deal with the problem they are claiming to solve. That includes terrorist organisations too.
Yes, but now their propaganda machine can say that they want to stop the war.
You can’t really destroy an insurgency via military means. See: Iraq, Afghanistan.
Those things are everywhere this year, they start flying right before sunset and they are large enough to wake me up when they hit my windows.
Fallen rockets might still have propellants in them, such as hydrazine or nitric acid, so I’d say it’s a good call.
Yep, in their mind Russia is great and is the future. Meanwhile, countries west of them are decadent and temporary.
I’d crash the party to accuse him of that.
To play the devil’s advocate, Poland and the Baltic states received a lot of third country refugees (from Syria, Iraq, Egypt, Sudan, etc.) from Russia and Belarus before the war in Ukraine.
It was a hybrid warfare campaign where Russians would advertise how easy it is to cross the border and how good life is on the other side. They would also help them get to the border.
Those refugees quickly overran Baltic refugee centers and caused political instability.
To be honest, “If it’s not giving me what I wanted out of this transaction, then it’s bad.” is a heuristic that works well for most things we buy. If I buy candy and it doesn’t taste good, it’s bad. If I buy a car and it breaks down, it’s bad.
I think the real problem is that some people see games as a product and others see it as an art piece. Some games fail at being either, some succeed at both.
"Three men, a greek, a roman and a celt each get an island.
The greek writes a book about flora and fauna of his island.
The roman, realising that the island does not need to be conquered, builds a house, a road to the shore and a statue to himself.
The celt starts a fight."
Yeah, Tesla cars and most EVs don’t have a traditional transmission.
Maybe Belgian Shepherd, they have darker fur.
Most of Eastern European politics can be boiled down to “Pro-western elitists vs. pro-russian populists”
Meanwhile, Vilnius-Lublin portal is working with no incidents.
Workers and Resources: Soviet Republic flashbacks intensify.
Here’s what stories I remember from USSR-Afghanistan war, told by actual veterans:
They would punish extremist acts by throwing women and children out of a helicopter, Pinochet style. The person who told me that drank ever since he got back from the war and never stopped.
There was one man who left his tent for a midnight leak and came back to his entire tent with their throats slit. Had insane PTSD.
My father-in-law got his legs messed up by machine gun fire, got airlifted to East Germany to get put back together, doesn’t talk much, but still drinks a lot.
Just finished my 260 hour Xendar’s mod playthrough on Factorio.
Thinking of playing Pyanodon’s, but my start is giving me second thoughts.
A lot of unseen costs of this war will take decades to be seen.
Reduced education spending? Less qualified workers to create added value.
Reduced social services? More people getting sick and dying.
Reduced infrastructure spending? Increased prices of transport and goods.
