Yeah they fought the Nazis - but first they made a deal with the Nazis to divide eastern Europe and going on a campaign of rape and plunder. You should look into the atrocities committed by the USSR during the 20th century - Germany paid a heavy price for their evils. Russia never did.

Mom cares about her kid’s safety but that K was just her taking a step back and wondering if it’s worth it when she still can’t get ‘hear’ right

The store in my neighborhood thought it wise to lock up the fancy Italian coffee beans. I’m absolutely sure it will not stem theft and will absolutely decrease sales. The bags are big - these are the 1kg bags - so I’m fairly sure most of the theft that is happening is internal anyway.

This is my concern too. Sure, I’m not a huge fan of the idea of myself dying someday, old and decrepit. But there are a ton of people out there about whom it gives me some relief to remember that they too will die. And most of them are the kind of people who whold have first access to anti-aging treatments.

Yes and readmission should certainly include things that they didn’t insist on before, thing that made it easier for the UK to leave - common currency and the like.

Agreed and I feel like people are sleepwalking on this. Between Russian agression and concerns from the USA and China - we shouldn’t just be welcoming the UK, we should be working hard to bring them back to the fold. If the EU want to keep living in a world where the EU is possible, they’ve got to start making stronger efforts to protect and shape it.

What’s XKCD

Yeah I can, add a hinge and swivel so it can go widescreen too

That gif is giving me a seisure

Yeah I try not to be an ass about being wrong

Thanks for the heads up, I woulda forgotten

I think I started it but it didn’t stick for whatever reason

Ah well glad to learn something

Huh, I stand corrected!

Absolutely agreed. I’d love to say that I left Facebook and then Twitter for heroic reasons but both of them pushed me out when there was no longer a way to just get the reverse chronological. Facebook when the algos took over and then Twitter when they started forcing people to pay for Tweetdeck.

I wish I had pockets big enough to replace the flimsy Bosch drawers in my fridge that start to shatter as soon as you pull just a tiny bit harder than normal.

Yeah an algorithm is a series of mathematic instructions so from my armchair I’d say sort by date is not an algorithm. But to complicate things further there seems to be a sticking point with some that social media uses heuristics and not algorithms. I don’t really understand the difference nor do I really care as this is all too much about semantics - /u/grue’s final point is still spot on IMO. Why mess with letting a billionaire toy with the minds of your citizens? Let the USA have twitter and all that chaos to themselves.

Jesus fuck I never would have guessed this meant actual pigs

I’m sure Canada would love that influx of crazy

We lost with Citizens United, but it isn’t nothing to fight to keep things from getting worse
