Aren't all protests performance? In the sense that they are made for others to see and to bring awareness? What else are they for? It's not for debate or promoting alternatives, it's too messy for that.

After clicking some links, I confirmed that there was also a storm called Daniel and that the two dams didn't just burst by themselves, they burst because of the flood from that storm

PS: apparently it's not just the storm, there were previous warnings.

A 2022 report in an academic journal had warned that if a flood equivalent to one in 1959 was repeated, it would be “likely to cause one of the two dams to collapse, making the residents of the valley and the city of Derna vulnerable due to a high risk of flooding”.

Because nobody should ever resist becoming a russian citizen by force, right?

Bonus: https://www.independent.co.uk/tv/news/ukraine-russia-war-donetsk-putin-b2200925.html here is the guy (Gubarev) who led the pro-Russian protesters who blockaded and occupied the Donetsk Regional State Administration building in 2014. "We come in peace, unless you don't want to become one of us."

An oil embargo, lend-lease over the Himalayas and the Pacific war culminating in Japan's surrender helped China repel Japan a lot more than 20%, but sure "death to murica".

If you can hardly feed and house yourself ... you can't afford to woo a wife or raise a kid :/ but that won't stop some people trying to half-ass it I guess

I need more of these...for research 🤫

One of them is not like the others 😍

I mean, it's going to continue unhindered, but it will be less visible to new .world members, more underground, say...submarine piracy 🏴‍☠️ 😄 arghh

Indeed, making russia pay for trying to conquer a sovereign country by helping that country defend itself.

Well, since we're here, what are the big news where you live these days?

I got used to it, you just need to look at the US as a union of states like Europe, in which case Arkansas is about equivalent to Lithuania in population (although if you correct for the more states and less pop of the US you get Bulgaria or Finland if you use a ranked method) . The same could be done for China, India and Brazil.

Technically a good boi then.

PS: bonus video to show that canines are not the strangest thing about a camel's mouth: https://yewtu.be/watch?v=9NC2saE5MbQ ...it actually seems to love munching on spiny things, look at him go 😍 😱
