I did the same, because the arguments on both sides have become stale and downright cheesy.

But we are actually saving the world and are completely justified in thinking anyone who opposes us is a fool… right?

Now there’s rumours he may have been shot down by a Patriot missile. One thing’s for sure, Ukrainian air force isn’t going to tell the truth.

Imagine starting a Friends of the PLA charitable organisation in the US…

Don’t know if this is general knowledge, but I think it’s cool how the Chupa Chups logo on the lollipop wrapper was designed by Salvador Dalí.

I just used some bio manure beads this season and mixed it deep into the soil. Apparently it’s enough nutrients for three seasons. I’m more confident about next season cause this year a lot of the things I grew got burnt by the heat. But the trees have been fruitful on account of the sun, heat and deep roots.

I’ll try planting some tomatoes in late May. :)

planted them a lil later, for some reason they grow bigger that way

Had no idea about this. I’ll try that next year. When did you plant them? In late April/early May? And what kind of tomatoes?

May you have a bountiful harvest. I’ve been eating figs for the past few weeks. Tangerines are coming in in November.

You should.

To be the devil’s advocate here, there’s nothing wrong with taking fruits from a tree. In fact, it’s a pretty sustainable practice.

This. The US defense industry is its own beast. I think if a president tried to cut 9/10 of the DoD budget they’d get coup’d.

China.

Unrelated, but you might enjoy this

So they fired everything they had until the maize stopped rustling, and silence fell. Then the Ukrainians moved on.

“Should I say the maize stoppes rustling or that silence fell? I’ll do both!”

The funny thing is the prose sounds like it was written by a high schooler.

You know what they say: the road to Hell is paved with good intentions.

That’s very generous. Not to mention the 10 houses per person limit can be circumvented: father, mother, two kids = 40 houses in one family.

“Rent capped”

Landlords shouldn’t exist, period.

“Illegal to own over 10 homes.”

That’s still too many, what the hell are you going to do with TEN homes?

Or am I not understanding the comic?

I love the comments on reddit about this: “Ukraine didn’t do it and even if they did it’s a good thing!” One comment said “Germany has a lot to answer for.” lol

SEE WE’RE WINNING IF ONLY WE HAD HELP

Yeah, it will feed into their inevitable betrayal myth after the war. Europe is gonna have a bunch of pissed off Nazis on their doorstep.

the old neoliberal technocrats are already swimming like sharks around the interim government. In their ranks are those who favor the BNP and the Islamists.

I wonder if they are getting Western backing/money.

If the student committee now formed a bloc with the trade unions, particularly the garment worker unions, there is the possibility that they might indeed form the opening for building a new democratic and people-centered Bangladesh.

I’m pessimistic, I’m old enough to have seen many promising movements fade/disappear.

If they are unable to build this historical bloc, they may be pushed to the side, just like the students and workers in Egypt, and they might have to surrender their efforts to the military and an elite that has merely changed its jersey.

So it goes. And as long as the US, et al. exist this is how things will continue to go.
