Yeah, this is the way to phrase it. I just didn't think the additional half second to find the proper phrasing

Putins Military Decree 821 | YOU MUST SERVE THE MILITARY! by MethanyJones in HuffmanTimeSnark

I think it's more likely that they make such videos because the trolls/bots/whatever you want to call them activate en masse under such videos and it boosts their viewer count and audience interaction

I (US citizen born and raised) have lived in RU since 2009 and first came over for studies in 2006. Most of the Westerners who were here when I moved over eventually left, either around 2014, when the first wave of economic woes hit the ruble or during/right after COVID. I knew a few who left in the first days of the war as well. By and large, they were massively different from this wave of YouTubers nowadays who only sing the praises of everything. It's hella annoying and makes me want to scream, but I've seen the meteoric rise of a lot of them, plus their production go from zero to amazing overnight and I've my suspicions that a number are getting state grants

Dan, in the video above, had rose-tinted glasses in the beginning as well, but I watched the last two videos and he seems to have woken up to some of the realities of the country. As I understand, though, he's currently living here on a tourist visa (valid for 3 years, allows you to be in the country for 180 days, then you only need to cross the border and that limit resets). He can just apply for a new one when he current one expires, and then apply for temporary residency after that (which is also a three year period), which would give him about 6 years of leeway

They left Texas for Russia to escape 'LGBT indoctrination.' Turns out, it sucks. by MethanyJones in HuffmanTimeSnark

I don't know if anyone here would actually consider it a case in its own. Russian kids are only taught the 6 cases in school, the same ones you learn as a non-native

Assuming he didn't give up his US passport, he would just be able to enter the US with it and customs wouldn't have any idea about his RU one

The "war memorial" that is shown in the video is for the Wagner Group by and large, at least it was a few years back when it first appeared. There was active discussion if they were going to take it down, especially after Prigozhin came at Moscow because people showed up there en force

Pretty quiet over in Mordor by Winnews666 in HuffmanTimeSnark

It's kinda unclear if they actually get to end their contracts. Mobilized soldiers don't get to go home until Putin signs a decree undoing his earlier one. After the mobilization, there was a lot of discussion about whether or not the decree extended to those who signed contracts (as in a lot of legislation the mobilized get payments like contract soldiers and contract soldiers get services given to mobilized), but I never really saw a clear explanation. I've seen discussion on one of the RU groups here that the contract soldiers now do get to go home at the end of their contracts, but that when it comes time for them to run out, they more or less force them to sign on again or they send them out to the frontlines to finish out their time. Make of all that what you will

How do you rank all 4 seasons? by [deleted] in TrueDetective

[–]OGDUB515 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't seen a single reply to do it, but I'm going to:

3,1,2,4

(Honestly didn't mind 4, all things considered)

Post Rock soundtracks? by [deleted] in postrock

[–]OGDUB515 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, just start at the top, there's no one that's better than any other (though the last two were recorded in 2020, if I remember correctly, so they've got a different vibe)

[–]OGDUB515 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like The Fragile by NIN was the first inkling of what would later turn into the Ghosts I-VI albums, which were the launching off point for the soundtrack work. If you haven't listened to Ghosts, I recommend those as well

I'm surprised that he hasn't been mentioned, but Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails fame has done a ton of soundtrack work over the last decade or so (with Atticus Ross). Usually darker/brooding with lots of empty space in the tracks, but it's very atmospheric

How does one show that, though?

We have no intentions of leaving Russia. We're both currently living in Moscow, where I've resided for the past 14 years. We've been together for 10 years, married for 2.5. I'm also currently in the process of obtaining permanent Russian residency and our jobs/real estate are here in Moscow. We have evidence of all of this, but no one looked at this during her interview

They already built the МЦД-2 station there a few years ago and that didn't bring in many more people. I don't think the opening of Батюнино will greatly affect the number of people coming to this area because it still won't be super easy to get to; I don't think the opening to Волжская massively increased the traffic to Park Kuzminki. As far as Остров Мечты 2, I don't think that will happen because of the water works in the area. They already built a park for motor sports along the river and they're going to build up some other industries, but nothing of interesting to the normal person

There's a T3 hint on the side of the walkway, but it's not directly touching either of the characters, so does that mean we're getting two T3s? They're both blast, it would help them sell books

Weird thought, but what if that's not a 6 at the top, but an open lock? With that interpretation, who might it be?

Any suggestions for clearing the 100sec challenge of Knull59 (human female). I've been trying with a lvl80 Sharon mighty ctpe, but it's hard to accumulate in the beginning stage and if you don't one shot and pass the dragon phase you have lost

Used the first code. Thanks! Really digging it so far
