Lmfao “defending itself.” Where’s the Russian military right now pal? I, too, defend my home by attacking my neighbors.

Correct. I’ll happily shill for the defensive alliance formed to ward off (the currently on display) Russian aggression. NATO would not exist if Russia weren’t so nakedly attempting to rebuild the Soviet Union by force, an alliance that had already been litigated and abandoned by the smaller nations Russia pillaged for resources, this time without even pretending to be for the workers.

Edit: no amount of tankie brigading will convince me that Russia isn’t the aggressor in the region. Imagine the brainrot required to think that the military that invaded Ukraine and is still currently there is the good team.

Tankie cringe

I’ve figured out a trick with ein, eine, einen. It’s a bit more expensive, but instead of “ein/e/n Bier,” I say “zwei Bier.” Works every time.

They are largely the result of scripts battling other scripts.

4k Blu Rays exist. Aside from the pain of having to get a special cracked drive to rip them they are my primary backup for my movie server.
