Anarchist that supports a dictatorship :) But it's ok, because it's a dictatorship far away. Other people will be opressed.

Again Chomsky and other tankies were arguing we should appease Russia :) How many times can you be wrong before you realize your assumptions are wrong?

Ukrainians know. It's their lives, their country and their decisions. And Chomsky is telling them to stop fighting and surrender to colonization so that his political views can stay the same :) Fucking tankies man..

If Ukraine was accepted into NATO in 2008 then none of this would happen. Chomsky was against that, i.e. his views are worsening the situation. > Just let yourself think about what his counterparts in US were saying Timothy Snyder for ex

Chomsky has a pretty obvious pro-russian bias. He's a "tankie" basically :) Look at what he wrote on Russian invasion of Ukraine :) As for Russia-US symmetrism - it's bullshit. Soviets did mass ethnic cleansing in 20th c

The battle happened, there's no doubt. I agree TVP is biased as f. tho. Think Fox News if Trump was in power and Fox was state media.

Polish is almost completely phonetic. You can put any polish word there and 99.99% of the time it will read it correctly.

USA didn't wanted USSR to break up. It was trying its hardest to prevent it in 80s/90s because it was afraid of nuclear proliferation and wars. USSR has broken up against all the political games - simply because people were fed up

This is just confirmation bias. You're looking for patterns so you're finding them. If you look for the opposite patterns you'll find them too. Russia besides the mandatory invasion every decade has been infiltrating the west

I love OSMand but I can't figure out why it announces speed bumps when I'm in walking and biking mode but not when in car mode :) But it's still the best navigation app I've used.

These planes look very much like typical low-cost homemade RC planes. People use cheap foam sheets instead of cardboard usually, but the techniques are very similar - packing tape for hinges on steering surfaces, mounting the wings with pos

Interpretation depends on the culture. In UK this is basically "you fucked up", in Germany this means "you did great with small nuances" :)

I mean they are jerks too. But it's likely the homegrown variety.

Some jerks called through short-wave radio to a well-document emergency stop service. It's about as much of a "hack" as calling to your school and saying there's a bomb.

You have to lay 3miles of pavement, 5 feet wide, bricks are 5x10 inches. How many bricks to buy? You have 4 square mile of land with dense forest. Trees grow 5 feet apart and are 10 inches thick on average. How many trees are there? How muc

In Netherlands they did the exact same thing and then reverted to walkable cities. It's not the only choice and it has lots of bad consequences. And I'd argue most citizens were never asked about it, it was decided for them by zon

I mean you could just use public transport? I lived in a small village 40 minutes from a big city half my life. There are buses going every 30 minutes each way between around 06:00 and 20:00. They cost under 1 USD per trip. Lots of people u
