Didn’t they March in with victory day parade attire in their backpacks instead of a second round of ammunition, or rations?
Said or unsaid, even if the war was going exactly as planned, it’s a shit war that’s executed poorly and will destroy the Russian economy and likely end up losing everything they took, even Crimea.
Isn’t this how Walmart failed in Germany?
Basically the “roadmap to success” used in other countries failed in Germany/Europe mostly because that “success” was only achievable through “human rights abuses” and “violating labor laws” that aren’t troublesome in parts of the world where labour rights are neutered at every opportunity, and large portions of the population people are too impoverished to afford necessities elsewhere
I’ve wondered about this, killing the “company” never really seemed like that big of a deal, as the structure (both physical building/tool/systems and operationally) don’t simply vanish. You still have the knowledge and skillsets in the population, and the supply chains still exist.
The real problem with these “too big to fail” entities is that the people pulling the levers that cause failures never have any consequences whatsoever.
Yeah, you’ll always need banks, energy, transportation, defence etc - operational mechanisms for exchanging goods, building, buying etc will never go away or ‘fail’ - but their operational practices absolutely could and should change
I’m so sick of the wealth class abusing absolutely everything to guarantee themselves more money than they could ever spend.
They do mention the incubation period for Rabies in the article can be up to two years, and they also mention it being found in seals starting in 2021.
You are correct that anyone bit recently may not be able to 100% confirm no transmission, but if no one bitten since 2021 has had Rabies from seal bites its still an accurate assessment.
Especially if people are bitten in (salt) water. Rabies spreads via saliva which is likely going to have a significantly smaller viral load if the bites happen in ocean water (also mentioned as a possible reason for low/no infection)
I am not sure what point you are trying to make, or how it relates to my comment/the article?
Even if we’re talking about someone who simply lacks basic or any morals, that would make them even more susceptible to Greed.
Especially when using a system specifically designed to provide them with vulnerable people who are mostly hidden from public and given less wages and rights, don’t know local laws, and are incredibly desperate.
What a convenient coincidence, heartless Greed finds itself flush with unlimited desperate workers. Again.
Indifference is just a tool they use - the root cause is Greed.
They hate immigrants, but love slave labour. Then use immigrants “taking jobs” (what the farm owners actually want, because slaves are very profitable and locals would never do that work at that wage) to rile up the population to vote for Conservative governments, who often don’t change the influx of immigrants but who does love to lower taxes and turn a blind eye to labour abuses.
Samurai champloo is a classic and contributed a ton to anime style, but maybe doesn’t hit as hard with plot as more recent creations. Fun and campy meets dark and gritty
Inuyasha is another classic feudal Japan and magic environment
May as well mention Afro Samurai if I’m gonna have a string of feudal Japan anime
Most people look like they mentioned Cowboy bebop already
I’m a huge Neon Genesis Evangelion fan, but originally watched it in the early 2000’s as a teenager with divorced parents so there’s probably a big nostalgia factor
I absolutely loved cyberpunk edgerunners, but it’s only 10 episodes (watched this probably 5x already)
The animated witcher movie + Castlevania (not nocturne though) were really good.
Arcane + DOTA I found to be really enjoyable as well.
The best way to tell if it’s a false flag operation is to see how much this event will be spread in the Russian media.
They’ve lost tons of equipment and had bombings deep in Russian territory, mostly affecting their oil production which could be perceived locally as Russian military inferiority.
So when this starts being on blast for every channel and frequency - you can be sure it’s a false flag.
If they bury this like any other Russian military failing, then it’s probably real.
Edit: ISIS claims responsibility, but Russia is still trying to blame Ukraine, which is kind of a false flag?
From google
The bill raises the threshold for which the executive branch can approve an arms sale of major defense equipment without congressional notification from $14 million to $23 million
So assuming they maxed it out and only did exactly 100 transactions, that’s 2.3 billion going to IDF
23,000,000 * 100 = 2,300,000,000
Hopefully the white house is doing this for Ukraine 10fold and running a circuit around the current Russian-American Congress
Yeah, but at least it’s not government run media /s
I’m in Canada and I find the reporting of CBC and TVO to be fairly good - and I can only imagine the news landscape when all news is 100% privately corpo owned
Not to say either are beyond reproach when it comes to powerful special interests, but that only goes to show that monopolies are terrible and have unreasonable leverage and not some nihilistic comment on the nature of man or whatever.
This is a good meme
Just let people live jfc.
One day I hope bigots get harassed as wholly and completely the way they feel inspired to harass others.
Religion has some great lessons and teachings for peace, but that’s never what it actually exports. It’s functionally a veil for atrocities and society needs to stop tolerating it they way it does.
The wolf from the neverending story freaked me right out when I was smol. Returned it to blockbuster and then rented Mr. Bean instead, so huge win
Might not fit the de-google aspect of your search, but I love my galaxy S10 plus. Older phone, but still snappy and takes great pictures and videos.
I got mine used for like 400 bucks (CAD) before Covid, so while it may not hit the Google free aspect of your search, you’ll save some $$$
The initial plan had been for the first fab to achieve full production this year, but the timeline was delayed due to several workforce challenges. These included difficulties in finding skilled workers locally, cultural differences between TSMC’s Taiwanese management and American employees, and a shortage of skilled construction workers that slowed the building process. This delay raised concerns about TSMC’s ability to maintain efficiency with its US operations compared to its facilities in Taiwan.
Recent success in trial production has alleviated some of these concerns. TSMC has confirmed that the Arizona project is progressing as planned, although the company has not commented specifically on yield rates.
