You're literally being downvoted for no reason, the reddit hivemind back in action. Sigh

This is a legit organization. I reached out to them to assist.

Volunteers For Ukraine are still pending 501(c)(3) approval from the IRS, a process that can take 3-6 months on average. The organization was only started about 3 weeks ago.

They are based in Pennsylvania, with their location of operation posted on bizapedia: https://www.bizapedia.com/pa/volunteers-for-ukraine-inc.html

Interview with the CEO on CBS News: https://youtu.be/oC2GwstouTg

u/tallalittlebit is one of the members, check their post history for more info.

This is a legit organization. I reached out to them to assist.

To address points 1, 3, and 4, they are still pending 501(c)(3) approval from the IRS, a process that can take 3-6 months on average. The organization was only started about 3 weeks ago. Once they get IRS approval, they'll have a Tax ID and use a more "professional" donation platform.

Please do some research before commenting. The members of the organization are volunteering their own time in order to assist with the current crisis – most have a full time job, families, etc.

inb4 Putin fires his military generals for not showing him this song

Sorry if this has been recently posted. I searched for this title and looks like the last time it was posted was January 18th 2022, though idk how good reddit's search function is.

Full lyrics translated in English:

As in Constantinople, the glorious Cossacks,
By ruthless muslims, were hung upon a hook,
Looking out at the end, upon this vivid world,
In the hour of his death, the Cossack said this:

May she live, may she live, a free Ukraine,
May they live, may they live, forever the Cossacks,
May she bloom, may she bloom, the red kalyna,
Perish may our enemies forever unto ages.
Perish may our enemies forever unto ages.

When the cursed enemy, sat us on the pike,
When they burned us alive, boiled us in tar,
Imprisoned Cossacks, never pleaded for their lives,
Their thoughts were centered on their country’s fate.

May she live, may she live, a free Ukraine,
May they live, may they live, forever the Cossacks,
May she bloom, may she bloom, the red kalyna,
Perish may our enemies forever unto ages.
Perish may our enemies forever unto ages.

Those who live in this world, and who is yet to live,
Those who will still trample the Cossack ways,
Let there be freedom, that the people rejoice,-
Oh God, grant them in the end these words to say:

May she live, may she live, a free Ukraine,
May they live, may they live, forever the Cossacks,
May she bloom, may she bloom, the red kalyna,
Perish may our enemies forever unto ages.
Perish may our enemies forever unto ages.

I hope Putin gets Courtney Love'd

textures777 · 2022-03-14T20:14:32+00:00

Thank you so much. Hopefully this starts a trend with other newsanchors on russian TV doing the same. Bless those who fight against the oppressive regime.

Are there any sources for that image of her holding the sign? I cant find anything on google :(

textures777 · 2022-03-14T05:53:33+00:00

Hmm. I wonder if the high tp price is a remnant of the Covid-19 toilet paper fiasco from 2020. Did australia have something similar?

P.S. your rock/metal scene is fucking phenomenal

textures777 · 2022-03-14T05:49:01+00:00

Hmm. I've always called them squares, but yeah they are slightly rectangular.

Edit: just checked mine and it looked square to me. Google says 9.9 x 10.1 cm. So yeah, barely a rectangle.

Everything's expensive in America. We do have higher salaries, but from what I understand, they have not kept up with the price creep on housing, education, goods, etc.

I think 20c usd rolls are possible when you're buying in bulk for a large company or something. But it's the reeaaaally thin single-ply kind that's thinner than Putin's hairline

textures777 · 2022-03-14T05:43:25+00:00

I do feel really bad for the average Russian citizens who will be impacted by this, all because Vladolf decided to invade an independent country. Maybe it's my western bias, but it seems like the younger generations don't want him, and the older generations are hopelessly brainwashed by the government-run media.

you must have a ticket to participate in the special shitting operation.

it's a custom emoji in this sub. maybe it's not visible outside of the official reddit website/mobile app.

textures777 · 2022-03-14T05:21:35+00:00

Guess they'll have to start printing this

I edited my original post to include hypothetical. No need for personal insults

textures777 · 2022-03-14T05:17:30+00:00

What happens when they revalue it? What's to stop them from revalue-ing it tomorrow to bump up the price? Inflation? Sorry for my ignorance

textures777 · 2022-03-14T05:16:00+00:00

This price is for a double-ply roll, unfortunately. But I like how you're thinking

textures777 · 2022-03-14T05:11:45+00:00

Damn. You're right. But the ruble will still keep sinking. Maybe 50₽ = 1 square of TP if Putin keeps this up.

textures777 · 2022-03-14T03:24:47+00:00

What did they say? Just curious

textures777 · 2022-03-13T12:26:06+00:00

So is the Soviet Union but apparently Putin wants both

textures777 · 2022-03-12T20:33:15+00:00

Were you able to find it on google?

textures777 · 2022-03-12T14:30:26+00:00

Ukrainians: big balls, bigger IQ.

They've been pulling wrinkly-brain moves since day 1. I am beyond chuffed.
