Can anyone with a deeper understanding of the history of the metric system explain why a gram is the base unit of weight, and a litre the base unit of volume?
I thought the foundation of the system was that a kilogram is the weight of a litre of water. But then why not name them 1 thing = 1 thing rather than 1000x a thing = 1 thing.
And yes I’ve had four cups of coffee and no sleep today.
They’re both shitty imperialist countries responsible for wars and genocide.
I’ll take neither, thanks.
Yeah, 100+ kids is fucking wild.
Thank you. These should get fixed.
But again, I can host behind a VPN and have zero risk here. I can work around my own shit, a Plex user can’t protect their data when Plex owns it.
Telegram is owned by Russian Elon Musk and the FSB. Avoid it if you can.
But it’s not difficult to integrate it yourself.
It’s inherently different. Plex liked having your data and didn’t protect it.
Durov is an absolute scumbag though. Russian Elon Musk.
Telegram shouldnt even be in the conversation when there are alternatives like Signal.
I’d be thoroughly shocked if the FSB didn’t have a backdoor for telegram.
I’m guessing you don’t seed then.
So if I was just repeating Russian “talking points” you’d have no problem with that?
How to be popular:
Yeah, fifth term and 88% of the vote.
Totally legitimate. Definitely not dictator for life.
I haven’t expressed any support for the US or NATO.
How can you call yourself a socialist when you support a fascist dictator (Putin) running a failing hyper-capitalist petro-state (Russia) conducting an imperialist war of aggression in Ukraine?
Sounds like you’re a liberal just wearing a tattered old Soviet hat. You’re the same as Americans cheering on their imperialist adventures.
I don’t think a fascist dictator can legitimately accuse anyone of a coup.
You don’t know what we hope[1][2].
Is word salad still on the menu?
Russian “imperialist aggression” isn’t what this was in the first place[3][4][5][6].
This is what I’m talking about.
When presented with two truths, you’ll accept the pro-Russian one without criticism as it’s what you want to believe.
Your logic is:
West = bad
Russia is anti-west
Russia = good
For example, I bet you believe every dubious claim made about genocide in Donbass from pro-Russian sources, but you probably believe Bucha and Mariupol are false flag attacks made by “Ukrainian Nazis”
Not because it’s the truth, but because it fits your worldview.
Unsourced my ass:
Thank you, why couldn’t the article have actually linked this instead of a reddit thread??
Also how relevant are cold war documents to today’s situation? Ukraine was part of the Soviet union when this document was created. Do you really believe the KGB wasn’t producing similar documents? Look at the “Foundations of Geopolitics” a book that is actually still influencing Putin’s decision-making today.
“A negotiated end to the war” probably doesn’t mean “surrender unconditionally” as many .ml residents hope.
Ending the war without rock solid security guarantees just leaves Ukraine open to further Russian imperialist aggression in the future.
And as a side note, can I also confirm if the bar for evidence is so low in this instance that unsourced grainy scans of documents posted on tankie Reddit subs are considered authoritative?
does not hold elections
How long has Putin been in power now?
In reality, it’s because the farming lobby is the biggest lobby inside the EU. This is an easy “win” that MEPs can use to get beef farmers to vote for them again.
Same reason CAP will never be reformed.
