It’s traditional to play lots of video games. Trust me on this one.

In that case, it’s sad that he doesn’t think the Russian people would revolt over sending hundreds of thousands of them to die in a pointless war.

Well, not with that attitude.

In a rare apology from the Russian president, Putin said during his end-of-year press conference that insufficient imports and demand are to blame for the hiked prices.

“I’m sorry about this problem. This is a setback in the government’s work,” Putin said on December 14. “I promise that the situation will be corrected in the near future.”

Holy shit. Russians are serious about their eggs!

Look, it isn’t hard to substitute eggs in recipes. You can use applesauce, banana, chia seeds, flax seeds, or tofu. (To be fair, though, I don’t know what those cost in Russia as compared to eggs.)

Try being Asian-but-not-Chinese in China or even Singapore.

A lot of people with mental health issues self-medicate with illegal drugs. This guy was probably suffering from depression, and the police pushed him too far. So ridiculous and tragic.

Yyaaaarrrrr

I am a banana!

Carl Sagan talks about this in the first episode of Cosmos. Eratosthenes proved the Earth was round centuries ago. It’s really cool. I recommend checking this clip out.

I’m kind of happy as long as big tech is not running it

Wait for it. It’s coming. That’s why Meta is doing this. We’re in the “embrace” phase of “embrace, extend, extinguish”.

I don’t see how to avoid it, unless the courts step in. The only reason why we’re using the World Wide Web instead of the Microsoft Wide Web is because the US sued Microsoft and won.

This is the UK.

They don’t.

So if I potato, you can ottoman?

The meaning of a word doesn’t change just because you use it incorrectly.
