I'm Canadian and have absolutely no dog in this fight.

Then kindly shut the fuck up. I'm an American, I've ACTUALLY had to live in this country with Trump and Biden as president, and it's no contest for me. I'd take Biden at his worst over Trump any day. That doesn't mean Biden is good, it means Trump is just that fucking bad.

Yep r/worldnews went from condemning Russia for their war crimes on Ukraine to damn near universally praising and supporting Israel's war crimes on Palestine.

Sadly, I don't think it's all bots and propagandists. A lot of them are real people that really do have that level of cognitive dissonance.

And then the gf decides she wants to try a new flavor, buys her "normal" nic strength, and fills her vape up with it before anon has a chance to dilute it.

Did you actually lower by only a percentage a week, or were you doing the normal thing and just buying weaker juice? Commercial vape juices have multiple percentage differences in their nic content between the different "tiers" of juice. That would be much more sudden and noticeable than 1% a week lower.

Hey now, things aren't that bad. No way Trump lives long enough for that.

Oh yeah don't get me wrong, as long as they don't fuck with established events I'm not mad about this movie existing. It just doesn't appeal to me at all. The only lotr movies I really want are ones based on the Silmarillion stories, and sadly I suspect we'll have to wait another 20 years(or more, if the copyright considers Tolkiens son the author) for it to enter public domain before that happens.

Who would want to buy them? The only value a studio has without it's IP is the devs, and you don't need to buy the studio to acquire them.

The original trilogy is so beloved because it's an excellent adaptation of one of the greatest book series ever. This is not that. Good or bad, this will be outright fanfiction. No thanks.

Glad I'm not the only one

Pretty sure you can get an NACS adapter now, but otherwise non Tesla vehicles pre-equiped with a NACS port are due to arrive next year.

The Kremlin has denied any state involvement.

Of course they would.

Putin called Navalny's demise "sad"

Children being taken from their families and trafficked to Russia is also sad(and a war crime), and yet Putin does nothing about that. Somehow I don't think he's actually all that sad about Navalny.

said he had been ready to hand the jailed politician over to the West in a prisoner exchange provided Navalny never return to Russia. Navalny's allies said such talks had been under way.

It's an awful coincidence that the moment they decide to start considering releasing him, that he dies, isn't it? Nevermind the fact that he'd at this point been sentenced to over 20 years in Russian prison and a mere 2 months prior to his death was secretly sent to an arctic circle prison that is essentially a death camp, with none of his team knowing where he was for weeks. No no, forget ALL of those facts and trust Daddy Putin at his word that they were totally going to release him if he hadn't died when he did.

What a load of bullshit. At best, they knew Navalny wasn't doing good and were hoping to release him before he died so they could wipe their hands clean of it. Realistically though, what happened was always the plan.
