I wish him getting frequently egged in public.

To add, if you didn’t know that, Zelensky and Putin are both Vovas, but the start of their names are spelled a bit different, Volodymyr vs Vladimir, volo vs vla, following ukrainian and russian takes at the same root name. The thing that doesn’t make sense tho is that the end of their names, dymyr\dimir is spelled exactly the same, and is not a marker of dialects, but rather Putin having an old soviet-like transliteration of a slavic name while Zelensky has a more modern one that follows the actual way it’s spelled. A probable reason for why the old version is like that is that russian and ukrainian have their У sounding very different to English Y, like ‘ugh’, and using ‘I’ avoided such association. I’m not a linguist at all, so take it with a grain of salt.

If only we all could.

In the 90s media were completely uncut though, especially their coverage of the first Chechen war. Some openly satyrized Yeltsin and he was kinda ok with it. Toying the line started with overtaking НТВ under Putin, the major divide between pro and anti-state stances and publications then happened around demonstrations in early 2010s, and in the end of the decade the latter started to be pushed out until ouright bans and suppression in 2022-.

There were, like, some guidelines, but when coffins of young boys started to arrive in droves and people protested against the war, print media was there to cover it, and this better-to-be-forgotten page of our history is now set in stone and I occasionally see publications from that period, no way to purge them all. Compare it to today, when mothers’ union not against war, but for better treatment of their sons got quietly put down, and the existing media are just a surrogate tightly governed by statesmen.

On the initial question about Yeltsin vs Trump, it’s hard for me to compare them for their context is inescapably different. Boris was, like, the first real elected pres, and a populist at that, and while Trump is tasked with just not fucking things too much, Yeltsin took a wheel in a harsh transitional period. And as two populists they share a lot of what makes their public image. But, call it naive and biased, Yeltsin sounded humble and honest when he talked about what he does, like he believed in it. It felt like he cared, but was a wrong person to be there from the very start, and drunk himself to death some eight years after passing the wheel to Putin being still influenced by that. With Don getting prezzed in after neolibs Obama then Biden and actually doing worse than if he did nothing at all, with empty waving like with the wall on the Mexican border, I perceive him significantly worse, more dishonest than Boris. Even knowing now that two were deeply pocketed by oligarchs (first time, eh?), I’m still find some sympathy towards our drunkie and find some personality and struggle within him, that I can’t say I see in Trump.

Is that what your momma called you?

Wox News everyone.

potential trial date

Does that mean he’s taken?

Citing historical parallels, particularly economic grievances fueling extremism

It is correct, but I struggle to compare late Wheimar economics to Biden stickers for gas stations sold on Amazon.

It’s weird how a person so seemingly unimportant hasn’t been converted into a scarecrow, made to vouch for key positions in their plan, etc. This man is either sleaky enough to avoid much of responsibility for what happens or everyone in the HQ forgot about him. His position doesn’t mean much power in the US, but it’s really interesting that he doesn’t get much coverage as a legally second in chief and seemingly abstain from everything while, before Musk got the wheel I thought he would play a key role in advocating for everythng techbros are up for.

There is an aspect to that making it simplier in my eyes. Most cases of projection are a sign of being completely unaware of the world around them, other people’s experiences, lack of interest and empathy. Trumps idea of slacking off is rooted in his own leisure routines because he hasn’t talked with average people in a long while if at all. There’s likely not that much of intent, not in his ramblings, but a genuine lack of touch. He’s probably thinking that there are poor golf courses for poor people for casual networking like he does. You know, where they brag about their poor peoples deals, investments and tax dodging. He isn’t a good liar and in his unscripted rants he is showing what he actually thinks. Rephrasing the old saying, if you are Trump, everyone looks like Trumps.

It’s not like I excuse him or think he’d do better if he’d know his shit. It’s just a common occurence that career politicians usually get caught on. My own dictator couldn’t imagine that the average monthly wage isn’t in 7 figures because he usually sat in his bunker since COVID and forgot what money even are.

It’d certainly encourage me to up my torrenting game so this shit appears 24\7 at rather weird uploads around the globe.

Is there a way to change the torrent client’s name\version so you appear in a list of seeds as Mark Zuckerberg?

That’s why Andrew-Bidlaw Inc. provides you with pregnancy tests having a separate window to show a hitler-test results and a pack of late abortion pills to drop him out in 1-2 days.

Musk’s and his actions are illegal, or were illegal mostly before the Supreme Court decided there’s some sleezy presidential immunity. The problem is they are so firm and quick at changing the rules of the game that no institution can catch up and, most importantly, generally afraid they would be directly attacked by these fuckers. Some commenters preciously said that it’s stupid that most of people who could’ve challenged or straight up dismissed his executive orders are pussies for resigning or being complicit, but, in their defence, all of their personal data was leaked by Muskrat and he and Trump have a pardoned terrorist cell to carbomb them or whatever. And it’s snowballing from department to department, and every new one looks at those who already kneed to the maggot.

All these famous checks and balances were DDOSed and frightened into submission. i don’t think they were exceptionally and inherently fragile. it’s just the rightwing strategists just got the right guy, the right coverage and the right plan to make it all as easy as break-and-enter with absent homeowners.

Privatise profits, socialise responsibility.

These shoelaces tortured a human being.

Blender installs natively from Steam and works without any emulation of windows’ stuff. I noticed the download size is different for Linux, so I guess they cared to pack everything needed for it to work smoothly.

Some distro claimed they did everything to make UX with Resolve one of their targets, I believe it’s Nobara or maybe Bazzite. It’s not emulated either and installers are also provided by the devs of Resolve themselves.

Affinity have no plans to make a Linux version, so it’s always emulated and has workarounds like that (github) but I haven’t used their software even on Windows so Idk how the experience of using their products is. Coming to Linux, I got used to Inkscape for my vector needs and Krita\Photopea for raster gfx. I heard Darktable is a good Lightroom alternative if it’s up your valley.

Thursty people are desperate for a mirrage.

That goes to the museum of the 2k20s. Everyone with a sturdy key or a can of paint may leave a messsge on that time capsule. Imaging having a guarded wiki page about you the guy who painted a dick on the golden disk of these pathetic times.
