Karališka erdvė - Karalių paslaptys (iš lėto leidžiasi saulė)

It’s not that the middle class has no power, it simply has too much to lose if they choose to revolt.

What if your revolution fails and you lose your money and your house? What if it succeeds and your new government decides you have too much?

That is why the middle class is a stabilising force in country’s politics. And if they lose their stuff, and feel like they have nothing to lose but their chains, then some higher ups lose their heads.

Ah yes Russia, please antagonise the country with one of the highest artillery shell stockpiles and production capacities in the world, what bad thing could result from that?

šãškė - somewhat like shash-keh, with the emphasis on the a.

She is sometimes naughty but also a very sociable cat.

Most activist organizations tend to do things that perpetuate themselves instead of trying to deal with the problem they are claiming to solve. That includes terrorist organisations too.

Here’s some old OC

Panemunė, Lithuania

That would be weird, because there’s definitely better people to fap to. I am just an obese, depressed 32 year old male.

In Lithuanian, we escaped the madness by making up our own name for it:

Sraigtasparnis = sraigtas (cog) + sparnas (wing)

Not to be confused with the word for autogyro:

Malūnsparnis = malūnas (mill) + sparnas (wing)

Which is not interesting unless you are writing some alternate history with aircraft in it and want to call them something with no Greek or Latin.

A light shade of Payne’s gray, I think.

All languages that are used are kinda broken, except the synthetic ones, like Esperanto.

The amount of exceptions and weird rules in non-English languages I speak (Lithuanian and Swedish) and kinda know (Russian) proves it.

[‘a’] + [‘b’] = ‘ab’

Gets me every time.

I understood that reference.

Supporting Ukraine goes beyond supporting democracy. If we allow them to lose, we hurt the international rules based order itself. The order which says that you can’t invade your neighbour and take their land for no reason.

If Putin gets away with annexing parts of Ukraine, now anyone can invade their neighbours, because they will get away with it. We will see more invasions and atrocities globally in the near future if we let this happen.

If they really stood for LGBT, they would sell some rainbow coloured rockets to Ukraine in order to penetrate the Russian territory.

Yes, but now their propaganda machine can say that they want to stop the war.

It’s a very controversial picture through and through, the people who made it were a bunch of edgelords.

Just starts crying one, definitely.

Military industrial complex is relatively tiny.

If you want to see who will be the end of us, follow the bigger fish.

Oil companies will destroy the environment.

Agrochemical companies will destroy biodiversity.

Food companies will make us obese.

Social media companies will misinform and divide us.
