Not if they get defunded

One has tried to destroy democracy and the other will just give up the democracy for the first one to destroy and won't fight for it.

To be clear, the best thing to do is to vote for a democrat in the election, but it would be much better if said democrat isn't Biden

Conservatives are much more hateful than any stereotype

Adding to what all the others said, majority of those who cross the border on foot are asylum seekers, and even if they don't have documents, they are still in the country legally until the court makes a decision on their asylum claim.

I thought about it and... yes it is racist

Adding to all the reasons already listed, Russia isn't striving. For example, right now there is a number of towns and cities experiencing outages in central heating (with houses designed around central heating so basically no other option to heat their appartments) while the weather dips to -20°C (around -4°F). All because the centralized boiler facilities weren't properly maintained due to the lack of money (or, to be more precise, due to money being diverted towards the war).

There are other signs, like plains malfunctioning and flights getting delayed because some component broke and cannot be replaced due to sanctions, and they happen more and more often. Also the less noticeable stuff like prices of common goods increasing by a factor of two in the last couple of years while salaries barely increased at all.

So yeah, Russia is keeping itself afloat, but it isn't thriving at all

If there's nothing wrong with people losing jobs, then go on, resign from your job. Be the change you want to see in this world.

And I think Blizzard of Oz is a reference to Wizard of Oz which predated Ozzy for quite a bit

In the left pic: a hammer near the sink, blood on the sink, beer in the shower. In the right pic: a pretty sus photo under the phone cover (did she beat her abusive father with the hammer until he got into a coma and get happier as a result?). On both pics: a framed picture referencing Untitled Goose Game

Vocaloids were invented in 2000, with commercial release in 2004. Human singers aren't extinct yet.

It may be possible in the future for a synthetic voice to sound fully human with a full range of emotions. But I believe that human actors and voice actors will still be used because 1) it's easier to explain what to do to a human professional, 2) unions exist and they will push back against it.

Acting is an art. What world is it where robots do art while humans do the tedious manual labor?

Well, he has Elon Musk in his display name, that definitely is 100% synonymous with bullshit

To summarize:

There was a dude called Igor Girkin, he was in the Russian military. His crimes include, but aren't limited to:

  1. Shooting down Malaysia Airline MH17 in 2014
  2. Torturing and executing Ukrainians
  3. Terrorism in Eastern Ukraine under guise of separarism
  4. Involvement in the annexation of Crimea (at least illegally crossing the border as a part of military force and threatening citizens)

is arrested in Russia for saying that the Russian army is performing poorly in Ukraine and Putin and Shoigu (minister of defence) are not managing the situation appropriately.

It shows that in Russia, showing honesty about war is more of a crime than murder and terrorism. Combined
