There’s a good YouTube video titled something like “china’s economy is 60% smaller than they state”. It’s worth watching.

It might surprise you to learn that Canada is really big, not everyone lives in cities, and some places are inaccessible by transit.

Trust corporations to ruin something people enjoy.

I’m not sure where else, but Canada desperately needs more cost-effective electric options.

If nothing else, Zelensky knows he has to toe the American policy line. I don’t blame him, really. It’s self-protection.

How about Kanye-led?

Kid wanted to be tiktok famous.

Sure sounds like that.

Dunno…probably has something to do with their psychotic Russian neighbours lowering property values or something.

The pulse setting on vibrators that only psychopaths use.

Yes, because I’ve seen your posts elsewhere and you are definitely intelligent enough to hold your own.

No objection to you being hot (not sure how to say that without being creepy, but oh well). My objection is only that they could reference the strike first rather than what you are wearing.

Geez, they couldn’t write an article about the strike and the issues rather than how “runway-ready” she looks in a t-shirt?

I don’t understand where you are on that point. He’s in Australia, and their biggest export is iron ore concentrates. He’s got all the things he needs for primitive iron.

He is responsible for the deaths of children.

Since my books are for TTRPGs, selling on DriveThruRPG has been better by far. I’ve made hundreds of dollars from there and under $10 on Amazon. Amazon tricks authors by allowing them to publish there then pushing those authors to pay to advertise their own books…which I did, but made zero difference. I’m also on Barnes and Noble, but made no money at all there.

However, as an author I’ve used their services to print copies of my books to put in games stores and that’s been very cost effective and made me decent money.

That’s not a bad idea. I’ll message you with a link. Won’t be Amazon, but what I’ll send you is there as well. I make zero money from Amazon sales. It’s a terrible platform for minor authors.

But if I tell you, I doxx myself :)

That is truly a terrible idea, and Amazon should be liable since they do exercise control over what they sell (which I know, because I have two books for sale there).

This is a greater overall danger than many of you seem to realize. Their leader was a face and figurehead, the real power of Wagner mercenaries lies with the lieutenants. Without him, they are likely to splinter and become more brutal. Some are likely to be hired by the anti-Putin oligarchs, while others may align with Putin. This may result in Russia having to pull out of Ukraine, but that’s not the end of this. Even if Putin is slammed out of power, that just results in an internal power struggle with deadly consequences. Those will not stay inside their borders.
