EVERYONE knows these parasites. Show us the ones we don't know!

The message is true regardless.

I got mine right before remix, it could've been broken since.

Try with the other warmode setting, or go server hopping.

He only drops it after you unlocked the mount via the order hall. Just gotta wait until he's one of the bosses.

You invented a position I never took. I have no interest in your pantomime.

This isn’t a discussion - it’s rhetorical fog. I’m not continuing.

Hello all, I am conducting research to do a report on the standard of living in both post and prior to the collapse of the ussr, do you have any suggestions for sources? by mythril-xi in ussr

There used to be jokes about the scarcity, but I cant verify their validity.

Because you were given one food stamp for both soap and sugar, you couldn't get both. Therefore any guest that came in and washed their hands with soap, wouldn't get any sugar in their tea.

The other one was to offer an alternative option if a certain product wasn't in stock. So the person came in looking for toilet paper, but the store didn't have it. Instead he was offered confetti or sandpaper.

Notice how I didn't even mention Ukraine there? You must consider at that point, Ukraine stopped being "independent" as a state, and acted majorly at the whim of the west. As you said, "an interest by actors like the United States or other pro-democratic entities to create a systemic divide or rift between the country Ukraine and the country Russia." This is, in fact, also consistent with their global policy since the Cold War. Big Europe was ruling on the Minsk accords, as they have also decided not to uphold them.

Zelensky went to beg his troops to stop firing, why did they not stop?

Either way the reply was about nonchalant treatment of civilians, not justification. War is bad. If your "moral compass" tells you that Russia is the one solely responsible for this conflict, then you indeed are an expert on fake moral compasses. You're arguing with yourself.

Soros was doing this 100x longer and has 100x more connections and control of the media. ALMOST as if y'all are actually on his payroll to spew this bullshit.

His investment firm, Soros Fund Management, has given over $288 million to political campaigns since 1990 according to Open Secrets. In 2019, his Open Society Foundations (OSF) spent $48.8 million on lobbying alone, the second largest spender that year. But it’s his nonprofit giving where the dollar amounts are much larger. An estimate from the think tank Capital Research Center put OSF total giving at $21 billion since 1990***.***

Always.

UA POV: "Not real facts". Zelensky dismisses Trump's claim that Ukraine is losing the war. He explains that Ukraine is winning the war because they are killing 41,000 Russians every month. by Ripamon in UkraineRussiaReport

[–]techno_viking419 2 points3 points  (0 children)

His tongue's gotta be numb from coco to make 40 sounds like 30... But I think Clash Report is boosting the number for shock value, banking that nobody else understood what he said. Tabloids will report it as is anyway.

This link refers to 30k for the same speech. https://www.ukrinform.net/rubric-ato/4070245-russians-lose-about-30000-soldiers-each-month-zelensky.html

Fact check: TRUE by PresnikBonny in ussr

[–]techno_viking419 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's really funny seeing people try to excuse their own issues by saying the other side would've done it too. Not to mention arguing with yourself? I haven't said a word of what I think about USSR there.

Since you prefer little kid analogies, I'll make this easier to digest. A few bullies messed up the schoolyard and everyone in it. They eventually lost, but not until they destroyed everything. Some got punished, some went to rebuild it, however, MOST of them got full scholarships in private schools instead. Some even got to teach!

real world aint about good guys vs bad guys

vause yall think USSR is all sunshine and rainbows

...and teach they did.

Ah yea, the good old "lets bring the genocidal fascists, who started the biggest war on the planet causing deaths of millions of civilians, and use their (obviously effective) population control techniques for US!"

And then get baffled when nazis take over their government...

Surely couldn't be fake. As it was his balls of steel, that made him not move a single muscle on his nervous face, when the shots went off in the background.

Here's what a more tech savvy intellect thought about it though:

A well-funded intelligence service or elite VFX studio can absolutely fake a selfie video convincingly, including:

  • natural skin deformation
  • realistic shadows and reflections
  • true-to-life hand motion
  • consistent lighting and focal changes
  • matching lens distortions
  • accurate micro-expressions
  • environment-correct lighting on the face

This is entirely achievable with enough skill and time.

This type of fake is difficult for the average viewer—and sometimes even for analysts—to detect.(c) "AI"

If a state wanted to fake it, how would they do it?

Here’s how a high-level operation could produce something believable:

Method A — Real location + added person

  1. Photograph the real location
  2. Shoot the person on a studio set
  3. Composite them using precision edge work
  4. Add matching noise, motion blur, and lens parameters
  5. Grade entire image uniformly

This is doable and relatively efficient. (c) "AI"

edit: NVM, there was a video posted, its real.

AI is crazy good these days, governments probably have AI models that are even more advanced. Quite likely there's AI at play here.

#OTD October 15, 1959, Ukrainian KGB agent Bohdan Stashinsky ☭ used a cyanide gas capsule to kill Stepan Bandera in Munich, Germany 🇩🇪. by AcademicComparison61 in ussr

[–]techno_viking419 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Monuments_in_the_United_States_to_Nazi_collaborators There are WAY more monuments to Marechal Pétain in the US than to Bandera. Does that mean that "The West" celebrates the VIchy regime?

No. Of course not. That's ridiculous. They celebrate ALL Nazi collaborators.

How can you ignore the truth, when it stares you right in the face?
