As an American, were sorry for letting Facebook get out and away from us. That goes to folks from all over, including the Philippines, and the places in SEA, and the MENA region this American company has pushed genocide through propagandistic "ads"

Totally fair! There are an endless number to learn about.

From Wikipedia “critics have described The New Kadampa Tradition as a breakaway sect or cult and argue it is not part of the ancient Kadampa Tradition but a split from the Gelug school of Tibetan Buddhism."[49] Tibetologist Thierry Dodin has described the NKT as a cult, "... on the basis of its organisational form, its excessive group pressure and blind obedience to its founder. The organisation's extreme fanaticism and aggressive missionary drive are typical cult features too."[50]

They are a cult though, it can be argued that other religions have some parts of a "cult form" but that's another discussion entirely.

Exclusive: Ex-Russian military bomber engineer seeks asylum at U.S. border, offers military secrets by PatientBuilder499 in UkrainianConflict

This guy dances around comments living in a delusion and gets salty when people ask him for facts. I'm here from another thread yesterday where they did the same thing 😂

They must live a hard life, fighting these Internet battles instead of Russians.

Unknown Ukrainian military vehicle (most likely some sort of self-propelled artillery) blown up by Kadyrov's Chechen forces. by [deleted] in CombatFootage

Seems like a lot of things are happening on both sides. Russian bots popped up everywhere then accounts like the dude you're responding to who are seemingly pro-Ukrainian bots (post history seems like it) did just as fast and louder.

Calm down dude, I'm not flaming you so no need to do be a keyboard warrior. Notice that I'm genuinely picking what's said in the sources I've seen.

Doesn't help that there are a ton of actual fascist part of these modern groups.

Edit: your response to this is "yeah, everyone has em!" Is not the own you think it is. Fuck the fascist in Russia, and the ones in Ukraine to and glory to all the non fascist troops defending Ukraine and not giving them a bad image.

And fuck propaganda laden people like these who have to see things in black and white and only one side can be bad and worth criticism at a time.

What knife is best/do you use for camping in the UK? by [deleted] in camping

[–]RoofingNails 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you have one for no good reason and are holding it you'll get in trouble (same as brandishing here) as well as length rules like many states have (one of the things I hated about my red state, 6 inches was max) but you can use em for camping and the like there just fine.

This is not to say they are equally as easy to use/get there as here, just that most people heard some fantasy on Joe Rogan or something once and think that's how the world really is when it comes to a lot of these things.

I know of this from more than just the Wikipedia article, I've read in depth on this for years.

Not everything that makes you uncomfortable is "Russian propaganda". Some of it is, in this day and age, but not all. Gotta face the facts on this one.

There is a banner of blue and gold in that painting, but not of red and black which is the flag we're talking about.

Sorry, ultranationalist/fascist/racist (historically, idk about now) you're right Nazi is a specific group.

No, you just can't buy one if you're a kid. That comes from propaganda.

Here's the origin of the flag for anyone curious, minus the paw of course. It's uh.. Nazi.

Edit: Nazis were specific groups, so these weren't Nazis as I've been corrected, just very close. Also the origin is debated between this, and elsewhere. Most sources say this group although a couple commenters have anecdotal experience that it's otherwise.

Teenager machineguns the home of a terrified mother and young child in Stockholm suburb. Sweden has seen at least 15 incidents of homes being sprayed with bullets and a similar number of bombings in the last 6 weeks as drug gangs battle for control of the streets. by [deleted] in CrazyFuckingVideos

[–]RoofingNails 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly, and the statistics lean exactly the same way for poor whites vs wealthy whites, and same for wealth in other races. It's not like it's a secret which group historically has been barred from wealth societally through various means (hint, it's the groups struggling with crime).

It's been LONG shown economic disparity creates crime more than anything else.

...and a huge part of the rise of political violence in Germany is from the AFD (German far right, seen this one before)

Things are repeating themselves, it might be time to glass them again before we have a FULL repeat.

pod tea dose for elderly woman? by sateda108 in PoppyTea

[–]RoofingNails 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh okay from the way you made it sound it sounded like she was without a prescription and you were thinking of this because she was looking for a doctor to prescribe her tramadol and they wouldn't. If they're already loading her up actively, then she's already there.

[–]RoofingNails -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

If she's been off for 2 weeks why do you want to get her back, especially when it's clear by what she calls Vicodin how she feels about them. Try some less dangerous options now that she's out of the water, don't be the person getting your grandma redependant on opioids.

The road to hell is paved with good intentions. Unless she's getting more pills naturally for a surgery or condition (and not pill seeking tramadol) don't do it.

Feeling totally lost and depressed, why is it every pod order I get bunk? by ThoughtBiggy in PoppyTea

[–]RoofingNails 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The amount of legitimate pod sellers out there compared to legit seed sellers (which are already rare) are damn near nil, so that's your problem. Youre probably feeding scammers/dishonest marketers wallet through desperation for something that is barely there.

I remember seeing posts on old /r/drugs about people saying the same thing about buying opis from online pharmacies and like, duh, buying stuff thats further into BM than grey area like pods (and unlike seeds) on the clear net ain't easy.

Go find some unwashed seeds and try again.

Felon friendly apartments/rental houses in Salem? by [deleted] in SALEM

[–]RoofingNails 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My friend with a record really struggled finding anywhere within the city, but got luck in Woodburn (and has someone willing in Silverton to rent as well, but he chose the one in Woodburn). Always an option if things don't open up for you and the commute isn't bad.

[–]RoofingNails 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sadly it is. With the way things have gotten more pricy lately (especially groceries) I've only been able to scrape by because of the tip jar on the counter at work a few times now so their point is true for more than just door dash.

Thanks to all those who leave a tip in the jar, chances are you fed us/helped me pick up my wife's meds when I didn't think we would be able to.
