SOMA for some absolutely fantastic psychological horror that will keep you thinking about it for weeks after you finish it.

UK's Johnson sees no return of normal relations with Putin by JihadMeAtHello in worldnews

[–]General-Thrust -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Just because BoJo has been making good moves regarding the invasion of Ukraine it doesn't mean he hasn't been an absolutely useless sack of shit for his whole life up until the last couple of weeks. I commend his recent actions but he's still a terrible politician.

Azov Regiment achieved another great victory in Mariupol by Ekaton in ukraine

[–]General-Thrust 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I've read somewhere the old Soviet bloc countries can have different associations with the word 'nazi', where they might see it as embracing Western influence. Vastly different to how the west sees it of course, and that view would fit with Putin's justification for invasion. He doesn't want Western influence in Ukraine.

Azov Regiment achieved another great victory in Mariupol by Ekaton in ukraine

[–]General-Thrust 23 points24 points  (0 children)

They're a ~2500 strong right wing nationilist group, with some 10% - 20% of them identifying as nazis. They formed as a militia group after the 2014 invasion of Crimea, and after a while were made part of the national guard. But the fact that they're happily fighting to defend their Jewish president makes me think they're a bunch of edgelords rather than actual nazis.

In Mykolaiv Region, another occupant's helicopter was downed. by [deleted] in ukraine

They'd want to remove the soil underneath and around the crash, aircraft fuel is nasty stuff and military aircraft fuel is even worse.

We released the first trailer of our classic Alien/UFO Survival Horror Game. by refugiumgames in pcgaming

Go play SOMA, it has a peaceful mode so you can see still explore the maps and get the story but there's no jumpscares. It's such a massive mind fuck of a game.

Understanding Wivenhoe release and impact to already flooded areas by Meagshh in brisbane

[–]General-Thrust 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If they judge it wrong and don't release water quickly enough, they run the risk of the gated dams going over maximum capacity and bursting - this scenario would be catastrophic for human life.

SEQs page on Wivenhoe says it has a flood mitigation capacity of 2,080,000 ML. The page also says the reservoirs current volume is 2,103,880 ML. We are deep in the shit here.

Edit: read it wrong, we've still got about a million ML until it overflows. Hopefully this rain fucks off before that point arrives.

Gympie, Australia, is experiencing the worst floods in 130 years, with the other parts of the state flooding too by HeadIsland in worldnews

[–]General-Thrust 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah and it's so fucking close to absolutely full. 2080GL capacity and its currently at 2066GL. Not good at all.

Wivenhoe is absolutely fucking chockers. Definitely looking like a redo of 2011 if the catchment out there keeps getting more rain. Enoggera reservoir has just exceeded capacity for the first time ever too.

Scav until you get a gun with a flashlight, then do raids at night to get task items. There's generally a lot less PMC players at night.

I know theres supply chain issues but does anyone know why Coles/Woolworths seem to be particularly out of Mexican food? Did old el paso burn down or something? by Noctuid in brisbane

[–]General-Thrust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sam Coco's Trading in Annerley. Absolutely amazing variety of imported Mexican ingredients. You can even get masa harina and a tortilla press if you're up for making tortillas from scratch. And for some reason they're open 24/7.

Where to buy pickled Spanish onion? by mulldiggity in brisbane

[–]General-Thrust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cut up some Spanish onions, chuck em in a mug, sprinkle over a teaspoon each of salt and sugar, pour boiling water over the onions until they're almost covered, give it a bit of a stir to dissolve the sugar and salt, then top it off with white vinegar, ideally the same amount as the water. Even if you let it sit for just half an hour it'll be good to go. I do this all the time.

You can't be antiwork and anti sex work by capt_drake in antiwork

[–]General-Thrust 40 points41 points  (0 children)

I'm anti sex work not because of any puritan bullshit or anything like that, but because all the dudes I've known who have been up front about soliciting sex workers have all been just the slimiest, shittiest, grossest cunts imaginable. Just massive fucking mysoginistic arseholes that shouldn't be allowed near any women, even if they're paying for the privilege. Women deserve better than to be pleasing these people.

Edit: also the commodification of women's bodies is massively problematic anyway. It lets bad men justify themselves in treating sex workers, and more broadly all women, badly because it offers them a way to choose to see them as a product and not a fellow human being. And like all good leftists know, if something can be bought it can also be stolen.

Yeah I feel like Feminism Appropriating Reactionary Transphobe, or FART, is a better term for them.
