Rockerface is Ukrainian, not American.

Being a seemingly temporary non-nation, Americans don't always understand that people don't usually just give up and accept conquest. If a people continue to distinguish themselves strongly enough without being literally wiped out or assimilated, they will survive annexation until the next opportunity for rebellion or freedom. Ireland resisted Britain for 800 years - a few years in the shadows of dictators until ordinary Russians grow balls/tits again isn't necessarily the end of Ukraine.

Do you not remember that Trump was president during the lockdowns? Are you that stupid or are you trying to rewrite history for your masters?

Though Meta and Google have withdrawn of their own accord, a spokesperson for Mardi Gras said the companies would not now meet the festival’s criteria for partners.

That's not what happened.

If drag recognise there's a transition between slang and non-slang so that one "used to" be the other, then slang both exists and the term isn't meaningless. That's without going into actual linguistically, where even the most descriptivist layabout would acknowledge the existence and indeed value of slang.

Non-slang is not "white", or even American. Drag should understand the difficulty caused when drag invents terminology that needs to be explained to any outgroup who can't be expected to be familiar with words drag has only popularised recently. Doesn't drag think that if anything it's kind of exclusionary against second-language speakers?

Surely the wizard is better right up until the 20th round. The wizard at that point can still at least throw stones or distribute potions

We said we'd do that with Russia, and half the world is ignoring it and half the world is very angry but not so angry as to not buy their natural gas

Ah yes. Those are 7000 internal nuclear missiles, for internal use. Phew, I was worried the rest of the world might be as affected by America's actions as much as we were by China's mirroring of open source github repos.

Because when dangerous states do things regarded as threatening, you're supposed to just name the country. Right?

Hey sometimes it even applies to private companies

What's different about America doing things?
