@TimeSpent A cosplay of a mimic. There's some irony there.

@Mommy @ButtWorldsMan Lol
I will always here TFM saying "Wondah womah!" when I see her.

@VD15 In my experience, you're better off saving for a decent battery backup with surge built in.

@lain It's a helpful system when you have more gradation between the states of satisfaction, and not fit for all applications. In cases of food delivery, a thumb up, a thumb down, or just a check mark for "satisfactory" with a comment box would be better.

@Shlomo Even supposing that every government is after him, why was it after only this specific sensitive data being released that he was arrested, or was it just coincidence?

I'm also not saying that "Russia hasn't had their facilities destroyed yet; therefore it will never happen."

Obviously, Russia could allow their critical infrastructure to be bombed, but they might also not.

Given all that is happening, I don't see why their present actions indicate so strongly that they are simply going to allow it. What am I missing? It is my inexperience with geopolitics? Do I rely to heavily on what is happening vs looking forward to what is implied by actions?

@susie Same. I've done it many times.

Furthermore, why does it matter what the media is saying, even if the media is an accurate reflection of the Regime's thoughts on the state of the world?

They're effectively a wife telling her friends that she wears the pants in the relationship. Who cares what she says? Who pays the bills in this analogy: Who still has the economic and strategic advantage right now? BRICS.

I hope someone can explain this because I don't know what I'm missing with why TFM took this angle.

BRICS can win economically if they have the infrastructure to do so. What has NATO done to destroy Russian critical infrastructure?
"Ukraine" has done things such as hit oil refineries nearby with drones, yes. (e.g. https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/several-people-injured-drone-attack-industrial-sites-russias-tatarstan-agencies-2024-04-02/)

I can see why TFM would be disheartened, but if Russia is winning strategically as he said, why would they feel the need to rush to end Ukraine? They aren't at risk to lose infrastructure yet. To me it seems they're not worried about winning the larger war.

I was listening to the show from last night, and I don't understand something that TFM was saying: I don't understand the logical leap made from what is currently happening to BRICS will fall to the West.

If I understand correctly (correct me if I'm wrong), because Russia hasn't dropped the hammer on Ukraine and because the western media is talking openly about tactical nukes and how Iran is smart for not attacking Israel, therefore the non-west will not retaliate and surrender.

@susie Enjoy. I can't remember the last time I earnestly took the time to watch anime.

@Xenophon That implies several things. It's unfortunately that a children's book was written for this situation, but such is the world.

@Heil_Honkler @deprecated_ii I still have no idea what you mean. The illustration could be a commentary on modern life as presented with a female character, and it has nothing to do with females' trajectory through life as such. If you have something to say, please state it plainly as I have no time for obfuscation without benefit.

@Tfmonkey @Shlomo You comment in the MMM about taking impressions with a grain of salt is exactly what I mean.

@Tfmonkey @Shlomo
Russia is doing exactly what they've been doing; they haven't cucked just because they haven't brought the hammer down in 1 week to smash the forces which invaded Kursk.

Don't trust old sources just because they've been reputable in the past. Examine everything fresh each time for validity.

@Tfmonkey, Ukraine is not beating the Russians back. Check some of the maps and live footage that folks like @Shlomo posts.

I was skeptical at first about the situation in Kursk and Ukraine when channels like Kings and Generals and other history or military analysis channels broke for Ukraine, but this is exactly what the regime does. They hit the big channels that people who are potentially interested in strategy and war watch.

@Heil_Honkler @deprecated_ii It's enjoyable illustration, but I don't see what kind of life this is for her other than maybe that of an ethot.

This is a reminder to each of you who may not know: empty your dryer's lint trap every time (or at least check it). It might save you from causing a house fire.

@Paultron @deprecated_ii I've seen females wash soiled cloth diapers in laundromats--no sanitization beforehand--off the bum and into the tub. It really is just an algorithm without abstract though. There is no thought that the soiled clothing has to go through certain processes to remove the foreign objects causing the soiling.
Dirty in => Clean out.

@Justicar If it was merit, why are they showing that image?
