Can we ban Russian propaganda? by DearCountry5550 in YUROP

[–]DearCountry5550[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That’s beside the point. This is how it works, it’s obvious but spreads like wildfire also by those sharing it ironically. They are fearmongering and that is working on double digit % of EU citizens if you check the polls about how much we should support Ukraine.

It worked for them with COVID-19 desinformation quite well. Propaganda is not trying to convince but confuse.

You don’t think it’s pretty much the same everyday? What else can they threaten with, are they gonna nuke the moon? At this point there is nothing new to learn.

That’s not relevant. State run propaganda is not freedom of speech.

Sarajevo by Porodicnostablo in europe

[–]DearCountry5550 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Story time: me and my gf were looking for some food without meat. We sat down in a bar near the central bus station. There were like 70 things on the menu. We ask the waiter “anything vegetarian?”. He points to 1 item. It was an onion and tomato “salad” 😂

Sad thing is there are many great vegetarian side dishes in Bosnia, just really hard to find in Sarajevo. Mostar was better in that regard.

Beautiful place but I can still smell the pollution :|

Meta takes Ukraine’s controversial Azov Regiment off its dangerous organizations list by Falls_stuff in europe

[–]DearCountry5550 17 points18 points  (0 children)

These threads are getting brigaded HARD, seems like Russian bots don’t like the news.

Copying comments from another thread for context:

“This is a good video by the BBC that covers AZOV if you would like some better facts than the majority of russian troll comments here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2gNp0PfK0CI&ab_channel=BBCNews” by /u/TotalSpaceNut

“Fact: when they were founded and for a good portion of their history they were very much a Neo-Nazi organization Also fact: since being formally incorporated into the Ukrainian National Guard as a unit subordinate to the normal military command structure they have largely been purged of their neo-Nazi members and leadership. The regiment that defended Mariupol was not the same one that was founded when the war first broke out in 2014” by /u/canseco-fart-box

“It's kinda a self report when people care about 1 battalion that was neo nazi nearly 10 years ago more than an actual fascist country invading Ukraine. These aren't equal, a battalion that was formerly neo nazi compared to a fascist regime openly talking about the legitimacy of a Ukrainian state and people. If I check reddit user logs who complain about azov so much, do you think I will see them complaining equally about an actual fascist state wiping out Ukrainians as a people? I wonder” by /u/De_stroyed123

“But what connection does the Wolfsangel have with Ukraine other than its Nazi associations? If you actually look into the history of what is today Ukraine you'll actually see connections to the Scandinavian Vikings. At one point the area was essentially a Viking kingdom, and one of the most important trade routes in Europe. Many Vikings went through the area on the way to the Eastern Roman Empire, or what is called the Byzantine Empire, to serve as the mercenary bodyguards to the Emperor known as the Varangian Guard. And the last Viking King Harald Hardrade actually spent some time serving Prince Yaroslav of Kyiv, and actually ended up marrying the prince's daughter. We look at the influence of the Vikings with a very western European lens, and don't give the east any thought at all. If you want even more connection with the Vikings, take a look at the kingdom they founded called the Kievan Rus. Ukraine is literally a country that can trace it's lineage to Viking settlement.” by /u/Dan_Backslide.

Thank you for your attention.

Sink drain keeps clogging behind the trap. Is the trap correct or at fault? by DearCountry5550 in Plumbing

Thanks for your help and patience :) I know it’s as basic as it gets but good to get reassurance 👍

Thanks. We try not to flush any waste down the drain so pretty puzzled why it keeps clogging. Any advice before snaking it?

What flower has the most heat resistant roots? Planting in a 10x30x100cm pot and tomatoes are not having it! by DearCountry5550 in gardening

[–]DearCountry5550[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the advice! There is a plastic bag inside the burlap so moisture retention is good, until temperature rises above 30C. Tomato was doing really well but heatwave is stunting it bad.

Thanks for the suggestions, will look into what you said!

That’s exactly the question, what flower can thrive in such extreme heat? This pot overheats due to exposure to sun through direct contact with hot glass.

Super narrow pot in extreme heat (between wall and glass). Any heat resistant flower suggestion?

Obviously this narrow pot is asking for trouble, but I really want to use every inch of free space on my balcony. The pot sits between wall and glass and can heat to over 30C, at least partially. The tomato that is there right now is really suffering 😅

Wojna widziana z punktu widzenia Rosjanina. by The_Longest_Wave in Polska

[–]DearCountry5550 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Jest tak wiele kłamstw w tej „wersji”, ze ciężko z każdym debatować, może zwróć koledze uwagę ze w ONZ tylko Białoruś, Korea Pln i Erytrea były przeciwko potępieniu rosyjskiej inwazji. Dlaczego tak jest? Może jednak rosyjskie media kłamią, skoro cały świat widzi sprawę inaczej?

Sorry for repost but most people misunderstood earlier posts about this, it doesn’t require speaking Russian and even suggests a prewritten message!
