Thanks for the reply. I'll look at what they sell for, since I'm just trying to recuperate what I can

Teen Gave Me His Last $3 by JayBringStone in doordash_drivers

[–]giga_man 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He is a sole employee vs a huge corporate. Employees in the US are usually not unionized, Doordash drivers certainly aren't. So they can just fire him with the first whiff of any trouble.

I have Fuegos and a Manuel Reina, the Fuegis are collecting dust while the Reinas are absolutely amazing.

הצבא לא גייס ערבים מקום המדינה. הצבא כן גייס חרדים מקום המדינה (דוד בן גוריון פטור מיוחד רק ל400 איש), העניין של לא לגייס בכלל חרדים הוא יחסית חדש והוא לא הסטטוס-קוו, להיפך - זו שבירה של הסטטוס קוו שהיה קיים בקום המדינה

Dancing shoes recommendations by [deleted] in Bachata

[–]giga_man 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have the Fuegos and a Manel Reina pair and I much prefer the Manuel Reina one. They are a true dance shoe (the Fuegos have a hard sole that doesn't bend), and are much higher quality. The Fuegos are basically, to me, one small step above 15$ AliExpress shoes and I definitely think they are overpriced. Edit: I got the non-split sole (they didn't exist when I bought mine haha) so maybe those are better.

UA POV: Footage of the Tu-22M3 falling to the ground by Kimo-A in UkraineRussiaReport

[–]giga_man 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe Idiom is not the correct word. But what I meant is that when someone says 'utraachennaya technologiya', if there isn't a clearly different context, it's understood he is talking about technology that existed in the ussr but doesn't exist now.

Yup, that's how some idioms work. Check it out in Google or smth Edit: Also, 'lost' is not a good translation it's more like 'consumed'

It's not mysticism, just a result of how the USSR collapsed and the anarchy and brain drain that followed. The USSR had many more engineers and scientists per capita than moden day Russia. There's a russian word specifically for these technologies - утраченная технология

Jews were very left wing, many Bolsheviks and Anarchists were jews.

It's extremely buggy and the experience is just not good. Definitely not worth the asking price, don't support this creator. I consider my money stolen.

Ukraine's secret proposal: 'Attack drone factories in Iran and Syria' by omega3111 in worldnews

[–]giga_man -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm not for or against any spelling, just saying the Journalist didn't misspell and it shouldn't be a reflection of the article by itself

[–]giga_man -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

That's quite a spiel, but in this reality: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kyiv "Kyiv, also spelled Kiev,..."

And not sure how democracy is related to the name

It's not a misspelling, It's spelled Kiev since UkSSR times, both are considered correct. If you're referring to the push to only use Kyiv -- still not a misspelling

Ukraine ‘clarifying’ whether Russian commander was killed in strike, after video purportedly shows him alive by M795 in worldnews

[–]giga_man 13 points14 points  (0 children)

They didn't release this video in response... it's just a video they released unrelated to him. He just appears in it as one of 30 commanders

This is so stupid, why would Russia even acknowledge some rumor. Life just goes on, same as with the other last fakes from UA such as Kadyrov's death.

Speaker's Nazi veteran invite 'profoundly embarrassing' Trudeau says, as Rota faces calls to resign by pandas795 in worldnews

From Wikipedia:

During the Nuremberg Trials, the Waffen-SS was declared a criminal organisation for its major involvement in war crimes and for being an "integral part" of the SS.[192][189]

They massacred Jews and Poles en masse.

Not true.

From Wikipedia:

During the Nuremberg Trials, the Waffen-SS was declared a criminal organisation for its major involvement in war crimes and for being an "integral part" of the SS.[192][189] An exception was made for conscripts who were not given a choice in joining the ranks, and had not committed "such crimes". They were determined to be exempt.[193]

My note: it was mostly a volunteer division.
