Tongue in cheek joke about standards, I guess. Reading Bakhmut is still contested, Ukrainians counterattacking. Although the sources are the guys who will say stuff like Democracy gives you special fighting powers, so.

Strange to have price controls on Russian oil as a peace condition. But I guess lots of other non starters there, anyway

Surprised Picard's not been cancelled, all I ever see is how much it sucks

And I thought the crappy metal/techno soundtrack to the propaganda was bad

Found out Adam Dembski Bowden wrote Chaos Gate Daemonhunters. That explains the waifu Inquisitor

Made it to a Morbus mission in Chaos Gate, most tedious crap ever, just getting buried in randomly spawning enemies. Glad I got this game for free

Just a guess based off the change in tone - Zelensky was fairly bombastic about it a couple weeks ago, and if you're going to start soft selling a withdrawal you should be halfway done it. And something to have a little snicker about to start the day This Twitter user is about as useless as Warmonitor3 but the clip is genuine 😛

She has an illness now which has made her effectively mute. Cruel hand to be dealt.

https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/zelenskiy-says-ukraine-will-defend-bakhmut-within-reason-russia-2023-02-20/ I guess this means the withdrawal's nearly done.

Well, seems to be standing room only, so they may get a bang on the head. Just is surprising people make a big deal out of them - local media covering it live here for some reason. I guess it does allow the staff to take a break

All these speeches are nothing burgers, so to speak. Biden's current one in Poland seems to be same.

When I was very young I thought those were the hard disks people were talking about.

That's talking about security guarantees not notification in advance, which the US themselves said they gave. Easy line to draw from giving that to the Russians knowing to lay off Kiev at the time, I'd say. Always curious how those calls play out, wording is probably tightly controlled I guess

Russia no longer being part of New START is interesting to note. Ah, not participating, not withdrawing - https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/putin-russia-suspends-participation-last-remaining-nuclear-treaty-with-us-2023-02-21/

They need symbolism and solidarity for that still after the ocean of money and weapons ? Huh. US media is going to be in a coma from the furious masturbation over this visit. I like an air raid siren being triggered while he spoke, brilliant bit of theatrics

Wonder what the point is. Maybe some new weapons gift? Ah yes, 500M

Impromptu survey of friends and acquaintances reveals that the people I know : Don't wonder about how they'll die Believe I am "strange".

Sorry to hear that, Shady

Another exciting Friday caused by firing a guy who knew everything.

Seems odd to separate the top two. And to think you called me cynical for saying poor countries don't matter, heh.

Sort of disappointed it's not set in the game, showing the trials of a person whose accomplishments vanish in a second.

Shame you can't relive the launch experience, jank and all 😛 Barely had much time to get a chance to really like Jackie, I found.
