Well, good news for you: it's August now.

Which isn't necessarily an issue if your goal is to hit somewhere in a line of charging infantry. Why you wouldn't just use canister shot is beyond me, but accuracy isn't much of an issue if your target is an entire enemy formation.

Brutalism is brutalism for capitalism. It was a highly influential architectural movement on both sides of the iron curtain (and I'm pretty sure it got started in capitalist France).

Looking at it from the outside it doesn't look like a failure at all, it provides the prison industrial complex with an endless stream of ~~slaves~~ cheap prison labour. If we assume that that's the actual goal, it's a resounding success.

At least you can quickly read a tweet, considering how short they are it takes like a second. Shorts are worse, you have the same limited information but you have to watch the whole damn thing to get it (even with subtitles).

How is calling Harris a "whore" or the n-word "legitimate debate"?

This dude has been full mask off since Covid. And he's been an asshole before too, I think the façade really started to crack when he was told that his mini submarine was useless (of course one could argue that the fact that the first thing Musk's mind went to when he wanted to disparage someone was "paedo" is rather telling).

Do you somehow pronounce Ume as Grishnakh the Vile or how did you get there?

Where are you from? Where are you going? Can't really give you advice without knowing those things.

As a general rule: don't expect perfection. Some things will suck, and if you go in expecting everything to be perfect you'll be disappointed. Also, wherever you go is still a normal place, filled with normal people, living normal lives. Don't be a nuisance to the locals, and don't expect/demand anyone not working in hospitality to go out of their way on your behalf (and even people working in hospitality, the "the customer is always right" mentality isn't a thing everywhere).

I'd be very surprised if the number of actual cases hasn't increased. Western, Ukrainian and other allied intelligence services have almost certainly increased their activities in Russia since the war began. They'd be terrible at their jobs if they hadn't.

Edit - this doesn't mean that the trials aren't shams, or that the regime doesn't use false accusations and evidence to rid itself of opposition.

It's like the story with the three Jesuses. Lock three people who believe they're literally Jesus into a room, all of them walk out still believing that they're Jesus, and convinced that you just locked them into a room with two madmen.

A patch that was announced over a year before it went up, and that people who play on consoles very much did ask for. I'm not happy about it being forced on PC either, but come on, there was no malicious intent here.
