Good on them. I actually live in one of the reddest parts of the state and find myself surrounded by maga noise on the regular. It was disturbing though watching on election night just how long it took to call MN. We used to be one of those places like CA where they could pretty well declare a winner the moment the polls closed.

That things are anywhere near that close here is absolutely bonkers. What the hell happened to Minnesota nice?

I’ve read of a couple small places. Was a coffee shop in the cities around here where they guy running it for 20+ years wanted to get out and the staff decided that rather than a new owner they would raise funds to buy it. Sort of run like a direct democracy with some rules based on seniority and such.

Richter scale confirmed

And when Mar A Lago gets flattened by a hurricane it’ll suddenly become the greatest program ever.

Gotta put on a show once in a while

Isn’t that how it usually works? At least in MN there are different penalties for different amounts over.

Gotta keep them, and us, occupied so they don’t watch what he’s up to.

MOSCOW/WASHINGTON, Nov 23 (Reuters) - Russia’s defence minister on Tuesday accused U.S. bombers of rehearsing a nuclear strike on Russia from two different directions earlier this month and complained that the planes had come within 20 km (12.4 miles) of the Russian border.

But the Pentagon said its drills were announced publicly at the time and adhered to international protocols.

Moscow’s accusation comes at a time of high tension with Washington over Ukraine, with U.S. officials voicing concerns about a possible Russian attack on its southern neighbour - a suggestion the Kremlin has dismissed as false.

Moscow has in turn accused the United States, NATO and Ukraine of provocative and irresponsible behaviour, pointing to U.S. arms supplies to Ukraine, Ukraine’s use of Turkish strike drones against Russian-backed separatists in eastern Ukraine, and NATO military exercises close to its borders.

Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu said that Moscow had noted a significant increase in the activity by U.S. strategic bombers, which he said had carried out 30 flights close to Russia this month. That, he said, was 2.5 times more than the same period last year.

Russia was already throwing assistance to rebellious forces in Ukraine and staging their military for an invasion that they denied was going to happen. The NATO drills where the same annual practices as every year and publicly announced in accordance with international norms. Yet Russia did in fact invade despite proclamations to the contrary. Even if it where to be credibility marked as a defensive action, that would hardly translate to an extended assault on territory far outside their borders with a demand to accept annexation of not only newly occupied ground but territory they assumed control of in 2014 in Crimea without provocation.

Primary source? Google translate is a thing I can take a look.

Like most anything P2P scale, consistency, and adoption are huge factors.

That’s a mighty big revision from the original narrative that the people of Crimea and eastern Ukraine where actually Russian and wanted to join Russia, so Vlad needed to rescue them from a bunch of Nazis.

How long does it take for exceptions like the ‘thin blue line’ or confederate flag get exceptions for being cultural representations?

Don’t know about social media, but sites exist in systems like this: https://zeronet.io/

Sweet, so we should go park a bunch of nukes in Ukraine is what I hear since that apparently justifies intervening in the affairs of a foreign nation. Invasion of sovereign territory some might say is another but I guess that passes when it’s Russia right?

Quite welcome, I’m sure the great worker’s uprising will come one day and we shall all be forced to use the glorious app known as WeChat.

You’re trying too hard man, after about 2 rounds it became obvious that China way =good, 'Murica way=bad and that’s the bottom line.

Men’s grocery stores? Real conservatives know their woman is supposed to do all that cooking and kitchen work. /S

Said I can, not that I do. Not that I should expect the .ml CCP shills to understand anything outside of the tankie sphere.

I can literally go on the calendar, add a location which will interface with the maps app, which can give me reviews, menus, directions, etc. Add people from my contacts, who use any type of email and cal they like (not limited to WhatsApp users) and have an email sent off with an ICS file to add to their calendar of choice. Provide a drive attachment in the same calendar invite if there was something to discuss with this meetup…

Feeding all my info to a Chinese app isn’t going to somehow improve that. My larger interest is in breaking up the aggregation of data by a single entity.
