He believes controlling the military could help him hold onto power.

Unfortunately he’s not wrong.

You could change like 3 words and this could be a positive cheer from someone on the left.

Tall snow doggos

Never thought I’d be agreeing with this homophobe.

For all we know you just told a hilarious joke in cuttlefish

Data is a funny thing.

According to this graph, there has been a decrease every month so far this year, including in January. Yet by chopping it by year, it appears as an increase (since 2024 ended so high).

To be clear, I’m not disagreeing that this could well be the deadliest year so far for Russia, or that there are very real seasonal differences between Spring and Summer fighting that could make this the deadliest year. Only pointing out how data can push varying narratives depending on how it’s presented. Always use critical thinking when you see data visualized.

This could go potentially be a war crime.

I’m likely to end up in the same situation unfortunately. I’m cancelling the card for unrelated reasons, so I don’t really anticipate any way to see my money again.

That’s the nature of monopoly. What are people going to do? Never leave the house?

It’s been too long. Most credit cards only allow a limited period of time to challenge a charge. I stupidly hoped that it would be rescheduled. You know, since Ticketmaster told me it would be. After 60-90 days, the money is theirs whether they deliver a product or not.

Thanks for the financial advice bro.

The point is that they borrow money for free. It’s theft even if they one day refund the tickets. Because that’s how money works. Apparently you should know that since you’re clearly an expert.

It’s not even original. At least half a dozen other artists of the 20th century displayed or sold pieces that were literally nothing.

Ticketmaster owes me a couple hundred dollars for a show that’s been “delayed” for a year now. Meanwhile, I’m paying interest on the credit charges.

There’s no way to get a refund or dispute the charges.

It should be illegal.

Awww sleepy forbidden puppies 🥹

Not human lives, but well… it could be.

What kind of word is “poof?” That baby is clearly making a “bamf.”

The most meaningful metric of any economy in my opinion is always median real income. It means whether most people are more able or less able to live the life they want (to vastly over-simplify).

“Cold in here?”

Fun fact: hell is not mentioned in the Old Testament. Christians came up with eternal burning damnation all on their own.

You are right that the (likely) prohibition on some form of homosexuality is the exact same (likely) prohibition against shellfish and pork.

There used to be a burger joint in my town that had terrible burgers, but they were ridiculously cheap. No idea how they made money, but they were always Russian guys and suits there. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Still waiting for container tabs on mobile. That will be huge.
