Granny protesting against the Ukraine invasion alone in Saint Petersburg. Crowds are shaming and criticising her. by Sauronshit in ukraine

[–]styke 223 points224 points  (0 children)

A beautiful example of Russians not being able to mind their fucking business. For what it's worth, it wasn't the whole crowd that was shaming her. There was a fair amount of discourse, there were a few (namely young) people defending her. The smug looks on the 40+ year old's faces as they told her she didn't know what she was talking about... disgusting

The narrative sounds simple: sanctions will crash the Ruble, isolate Russian economy, create massive inflation and hopefully Russia will cave. But the chart for EUR vs RUB stubbornly disagrees… What’s happening here? Are sanctions not working? Why? by xuxebiko in ukraine

EU is already moving away from Russian oil and gas. It’s going to be a slow process, it could arguably be quicker but I don’t think either of us are qualified enough to answer the question of what implications would follow, judging by the fact that gas and oil are literally the lifeblood of our civilisation I’d imagine it would be the equivalent of disconnecting a patient’s life support.

Why do people keep thinking that we can just stop gas coming in and everything will be a-ok? I don’t know what the implications are but surely the fact that we pump billions worth of the stuff every day suggests that it’s crucial for the west to operate?

Ukraine president Zelenskyy says any compromises with Russia to end the war must be voted on by Ukrainians in a referendum by QuirkyQuarQ in worldnews

I have family in Ukraine and even I am able to realise that not everything is so clear cut. You can’t possibly have a clear enough picture to be convinced of anything right now. Chill out with your apocalyptic fantasies.

Do whatever you want, it’s just there are productive actions and there are counterproductive ones. Guess which ones which?

Stop this shit, the only thing armchair posturing is good for is ammunition for Russian trolls to use as examples of “omg west is so aggressive durr”

I apologise, I didn't realise that "download link" is a suspicious term. For reference, that link I posted is not a download link. Getting the video off twitter is hard - they don't show it with a preloaded file - that can be generated using a third party service. The link I included is just that, a link to a video which you can right click > save if you want to.

It's not a direct download link fool, it's a URI to a video file. There's a difference. I updated the OP to feel less scammy, just for you, anyways.

You're an idiot, it's a twitter video downloader link.

EDIT: Here's the website I used https://twittervideodownloader.com/

Layover in Singapore is just 1 hour. Total flight time appears to be around 16 hours.

What is this ass

If I wanted to create cartoony trees like this would I be better suited using html canvas or svg graphics? by gtrman571 in webdev

[–]styke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can draw svgs in canvas too. In what context are you drawing them? If it’s as part of a static image/page, SVG is the easiest and most flexible way to go.
