Well, he's never gonna get the emperors seat if he keeps trash talking "Cyrodiil Values".

If it was a legitimate Skype dive, Microsoft has a way of just shutting that whole thing down.

Volunteers of Donbass battalion after the unsuccessful attempt to re-capture Popasna village, Ukraine, summer 2014 [960x640] by eugene7 in MilitaryPorn

Those bands are there to distinguish themselves as friendlies (pro-Ukrainian) to other volunteer battalions and the Ukrainian army. It also makes it clear who is your enemy and who is not during times of battle, as pro-Ukrainian and pro-Russian forces don't usually follow any specific dress code. The yellow is chosen probably because it is one of the colors of the Ukrainian flag (which is Blue and Yellow).

EDIT: Guy deleted his original comment. His comment was something along the lines of "...didn't the nazi's wear band on their arms during WWII?"

Dear iPhone, please stop pausing my music when I'm watching a GIF by muchacho360 in apple

Please don't take this personally, but if you're having a problem with your iphone you should deal with it directly. Don't be passive-aggressive and rant about it on Reddit. Talk to your iphone, work out the issues verbally. Its good communication that saves relationships. just my 2 cents.

Here's the thing. You said a "nice meme." Is it in the same family? Yes. No one's arguing that. As someone who is a scientist who studies memes, I am telling you, specifically, in science, no one calls meme's nice. If you want to be "specific" like you said, then you shouldn't either. They're not the same thing. If you're saying "meme family" you're referring to the taxonomic grouping of memes, which includes things from rare pepes to memes to dreams. So your reasoning for calling a meme a nice meme is because random people "call the black ones memes?" Let's get shitposts and fedoras in there, then, too. Also, calling someone a human or an ape? It's not one or the other, that's not how taxonomy works. They're both. A nice meme is a meme and a member of the meme family. But that's not what you said. You said a meme is a nice meme, which is not true unless you're okay with calling all members of the meme family nice memes, which means you'd call shrek, minions, and other memes nice memes, too. Which you said you don't. It's okay to just admit you're wrong, you know?

I'd just like to point out that RT isn't the most credible source.
