  1. Past hour
  2. Ragbarok on PC in September Another Sony game to my „buy at some point” wishlist
  3. https://www.politico.eu/article/georgia-european-union-candidacy-protest-nana-malashkhia-georgian-dream-party/ Whats worse is 80% of Georgians want to join the EU and this latest legislation is your typical Russian style underhanded attempt to prevent that Its very clear what the overall Russian\Putin strategy is to recreate the old Soviet borders and Russian influence. You cannot leave it up to citizens to decide their own future in almost all former Soviet states because given a choice the majority of people will want to align with the EU\West You make sure you support fellow Autocracies and keep them in power, you invade and occupy or you actively interfere in the domestic policies of the country so that it makes joining the EU harder But you dont ever let citizens decide their own future because sovereignty is the enemy
  4. Today
  5. As far as I understand, if the money they get are from Russia, they do not need to be “marked” as a Foreign Agent. It’s mind bogling, that some people are still in favour of Russian paid parties, after what they suffered through in 2008.
  6. Georgia is in the process of introducing an almost carbon copy of that law, leading to unrest in the country. Spitefully referred to as "the Russian Law"
  7. Well propaganda for Russian simps is very different than propaganda for people, who can use their brains once in a while, but still can be influenced by nice words and “cute” face. Even not the smartest string pullers in Russia know, that propaganda targeted to flatearthers does not work on average Joe. Anything still released in the Russia in the social space, is controlled by the state, that’s a fact. They have also annected a law last year, that if some Russian citizen criticizes Russia on social media, and lives outside Russia, It is forbidden for Russian companies to sponsor them, which is punished by heavy fines. And what do you think what happens, when influencers’ income starts to get dry? They usually try to find the easiest way, how to get it back. And that is to appease whoever holds the gates to the flow of money
  8. I enjoyed a video where she mocked people for even suggesting Ukraine was somehow Russian and had some fun conversations with a Ukrainian friend to show linguistic and cultural differences. Ie both former Soviet states but different countries .That was 3 years ago and the video is still there in
  9. Im ecstatic with the final South African voting results my party the DA, Democratic alliance, maintained control of the Western Cape and gained in the National vote. We on 22.7%. We the anti-Russian,anti-BRICS, pro-West party and the Western Cape is the only province that passes the auditor-general report around municipalities and service delivery the ANC for the first time in 30 years got less than 50% of the national vote and they on 41% and the best news is the racist, anti-white, socialist pro-Russian party the EFF lost national votes and they down to 9.3 %. It doesnt matter about coalitions because no radical left\socialist party has the support to change the Constitution which is always my greatest concern, you need 66% to do this The ANC will need a party with 9% to govern to get to 50% majority but its irrelevant who they choose because they cant make any permanent and destructive Constitutional changes. So the ANC will predictably continue to govern but with no more majority. And Im very happy with that, Im not anti-ANC on certain things. Im just anti-ANC dominance because it has created a culture around political impunity around dealing with corruption and ensuring governance and accountability But Im very happy with the final results, the ANC getting way less than 50% and the EFF becoming even more irrelevant and the DA increasing its support And before this election some political commentators were grandstanding and " predicting " the DA would lose support because we not " pro-Palestinian" and because of the so called flag burning incident. And neither of those allegations was true or accurate But most South Africans voted on the expected domestic issues like the economy, crime and failure service delivery. And 65% of the DA vote is people of colour which is critical for political success in a country where white people are only 6.5% of the total population
  10. Sure but if you watch the video its honest and critical, I dont consider it effective Russian propaganda because she is making assumptions about what are the reality of sanctions around things like food in supermarkets. There isnt food and agriculture sanctions on Russia so why would any supermarket not have food or EU food choices. This is just one example During Apartheid we had sanctions for decades but we always had food on the shelves in supermarkets and we werent getting unrestricted economic trade from the likes of China. We traded with Western countries around some things but there were definitely some things we couldnt get. But South Africa became very independant around productivity. And they justified it outside of the enforcement of flawed Apartheid laws due to the real threat of Communism and the reality of the Cold War, we became a smaller version of the Russian "war economy " reality within Russia. The Apartheid government ran the country for decades under sanctions but its not sustainable and sanctions had a slow but real economic impact But I dont think she is FSB because the whole video is too simplistic and obviously the views of a young person who is clearly not political but is well meaning. Like I mentioned in a previous post when she said " I thought how can people survive without FB or Youtube " , my best comment in the whole video. She is so cute
  11. This. I don’t think she’s lying but I suspect her choice of location and subject gets “vetted” by people you don’t want to antagonise
  12. I have an Xbox and have been enjoying ground for a while with gamepass and recommended my friend on PS5 to get it when it released. Last night he set up an Xbox account in the app on his phone and added me and connected his account to his PlayStation account so we could play and even though when I open the Xbox menu I can see his account in my friends list and he can see my account in the Xbox app, grounded doesn't let us see each other in the in game friends section. In order for us to play together I had to join by opening the Xbox menu and going to my friends tab and selecting their profile and selecting the join game option. The issue here is that we can't use the shared world feature because we don't show up on each other's in game friends list so I can't help him farm resources while he's offline so he can focus more on the story. Anybody else discover a fix for this problem yet? Please let me know. It's been a month since the last comment on this thread, I wish that the devs would have fixed it by now.
  13. Yesterday
  14. I don't mind female Custodes at all, I've always thought the "only boys, no icky girls" part of the space marines made no sense from a logical perspective. They wouldn't look like women after all the treatments, but still, considering how rare good candidates are cutting off 50% of the population is a bit foolish. And when it comes to lore, there used to be female Space Marines, just that noone bought them back then and they then got repurposed as the second coolest 40k faction, nuns with guns. Haha, that'd be hilarious!
  15. do you happen to have a screenshot from when you tried? it's possible it might be coded wrong and doesn't have a 0 innate power level.
  16. My wife tells me this is the least interested she's been in the finals in a long, long time. We started playing fantasy football basketball just to get back into the NBA and now we're all over it.
  17. Liar Satsuki Can See Death been following this manga for a long time and it is finally finished plot is main character can see dead body day before their death and try to prevent it pretty unique reading experience hope it got anime adaptation someday
  18. Losing every EU capital (except Budapest xD) in exchange for Stalingrad, Leningrad and Moskva is an acceptable sacrifice for Biden.
  19. To be fair, working crew and I took about 2 pictures across the entire time. I was wrapped up fixing costumes and herding cosplayers for events, and running on about 3 hours sleep each night. But to give you the general vibe...
  20. You should not, as FSB has employed loads of young “influencers” and not only in Russia, who are payed to talk positively about Russia. These are aimed especially at Latin American, African and Asian countries. But not exclusively.
  21. Photos, we need to see lots of photos You must know the vicarious thrill photos provide around ComicCon and DONT forget the Cosplay people and ladies
  22. So... Heiliung is going to tour Australia, with special guest Eivor. I would go see either without as a main event (both together just means I must have been a good boy), but... I am torn between getting tickets for their Brisbane concert or their Melbourne concert. The former is closer and more convenient, but the latter is probably a bigger event with better facilities
  23. Great video, thanks for posting. I watched the whole video but Gorthfuscious she is DEFINITELY an FSB agent and Im surprised you would post such outrageous propaganda Im joking obviously, she is not a FSB agent . I think she is exactly what she says she is and the whole video is a well meaning video from a young person about her life in Russia and she objectively discusses what she thinks matters and what is important since sanctions after the invasion of Ukraine And I believe everything she says But the real criticism towards Russia is the politics and the reality of freedom in Russia under Putins autocracy. Its not about SM hyperbole around " no food on supermarkets" or " I cant access FB anymore " and its interesting at the end where she says "I always wondered how people in China could survive without FB or Youtube " like that really is a big deal, " OMG I cant access FB anymore " But she is your average young person and thats a big deal to them and she means well But going back to the real issues within Russia, she openly admits politics doesn't concern her and thats expected unless you support the authoritarian reality of Russia. How would she feel if she was member of the LGBT community? We have just had an election in SA as you know and the belief that people have in free and fair elections was the winner, it doesnt matter who wins because its the will of the people through the ballet box that is the most important thing We had weeks of opposition parties campaigning, townhall meetings, candidates coming onto talk shows and news networks and openly and freely criticizing the ANC and its policies with both fair and unfair comments. Our state owned media station provided the same platform because we allow and encourage those basic political freedoms and that matters to me and always will None of that exists in Russia, there is no free media and no real criticism allowed of the state or its policies and they dont have free and fair elections And thats not a concern to many people in Russia because there is nothing they can do about it like this young lady which is why she specifically mentions her video is not about politics So her is video is honest and truthful but what she talks about is not the real criticism I have towards Putin or his system of government. Its what his interpretation and implementation of a government means And I will always believe governments must support basic freedoms like human rights, freedom of speech and leadership change being determined through free and fair elections But if you ignore this you can absolutely be happy in Russia or have a normal life like she explained in the video
