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.)

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.

Yeah, don’t try to make anything better. It’s a waste of time unless you’re trying to overhaul the entire economic system.

What a smooth-brained take.

Couldn’t read the article, because it’s behind a paywall.

True, but it does have a lot of Latinate words.

English has “abecedarian”, which can mean “alphabetical”, “rudimentary”, “elementary”, “novice” or “beginner”.

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.

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.

Nonono… It’s “never forget what happened to the Jews”.

We’re smarter because we have scientific understanding and rational thinking.

If your local country starts leaning towards fascism and looking for a scapegoat (which is usually Jews), then you’d have the option to go to Israel immediately.

That’s a great plan, since Jews are completely safe and definitely not in any danger in Israel.

What kind of moon logic is this?
