*THIS* is the piracy theme song lol

The 2019 survey found that 82% of Crimea's population supported Crimea's accession to Russia, as opposed to 86% in 2014. The survey also found that 58% of Crimean Tatars now supported Crimea's accession to Russia, as opposed to 39% in 2014.

the balance is impossible to know given the enormous difficulty of conducting reliable polls in the current context.

No he did not. Unlike you he did not forget that Crimea had wanted to be part of Russia historically. He is even talking about that right now.

Who steals a desk from a school??

Hundreds of people who had retinal implants to improve their sight face an uncertain future as the technology they rely on is now obsolete.

Second Sight stopped making its Argus II bionic eyes several years ago to focus on a brain implant instead.

Surgery to implant the device typically takes a few hours and is followed by post-op training to help users interpret the signals from their devices.

The website also promises updates. "As technology improves, so will your Argus II implant - without the need for additional surgery. Enjoy programming flexibility and the capacity for future hardware and software upgrades."

One, Ross Doerr, said Second Sight failed to contact any of its patients after its financial difficulties in 2020.
"Those of us with this implant are figuratively and literally in the dark," he said.

Another user, Jeroen Perk, had problems when his VPU system broke in November 2020. "I had no vision, no Argus, and no support from Second Sight," he told the publication.

I mean the plan is to eventually get to 100% green electricity, so no.

Don't forget Latrine.
"It used to be "shithouse"

Thanks for the write up. My old dog used to eat cat poop. Damn :(

That means they're conservative otherwise they would say AND instead of BUT.

Well now I have the morbid thought of him slamming his head on purpose.

Actually... they demonstrate the opposite which is why facebook is going in lol

Does food brand matter

I honestly though the themes of the second film would lead to a conclusion where Kylo and Rey realize that there is no point in favoring "light" or "dark" because it leads to an imbalance in the Force that breeds conflict. Rejecting your emotions can make you blind to your feelings and the empathy of others, and allowing your anger and fear to take over robs you of your objectivity.

But yeah that didn't happen.

I agree. But I'd argue that it truly went off-the-rails with RoS doing the same exact thing to TLJ.

You can almost justify "weird tonal shift second film" by having a third film that fuses the two themes. But that's not what Abrams did. RoS was just... so obnoxious.

I honestly don't think he's any more at fault than Abrams.

If you think about it, Abrams gave him nothing to work with. The Force Awakens was almost literally just a retread of A New Hope. It had nowhere to go except "the dark, subversive sequel" route like Empire. And you can't just do another Empire. So instead TLJ was sort of an anti-empire.

So Russia is creating a justification for an invasion?

During a press conference with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz on Tuesday, Russian President Vladimir Putin stated that "what is happening in the Donbass is genocide.

Over 870,000 residents of the Donetsk and Luhansk People's Republics have acquired Russian citizenship, said Viktor Vodolatsky, first deputy chairman of Russian State Duma Committee on CIS Affairs, Eurasian Integration and Relations with Compatriots, on Tuesday, according to TASS.

The State Duma presented Putin with a draft appeal to recognize the Donetsk and Lugansk Peoples Republics as independent on Tuesday. Putin said the vast majority of Russians support the separatists, adding that he wanted to solve the issues regarding Donbass according to the Minsk agreements.

Oh thanks, though I have the general gist of things and have cleared with a majority of the weapon variants by now, and fortunately a lot of the auto-attack upgrades are still free on the fates list.

but hey, this can be a builds topic. Does Doom feel OP to anyone else?

There's an untold amount of unreported rapes out there. Stuff like this can and will have an impact.

Not sure why you're assuming that everyone goes on to get a passport or travels internationally anyway. If a rape victim is someone who tends to get in trouble with the law they're probably not in a good living situation.

Stop being so dense. This should not be allowed regardless of whatever Venn diagram you want to look at. If this only prevents one person from coming forward its too many. A lot of people who get mixed up on crime have to deal with sexual assault, especially in poorer neighborhoods. They shouldnt have to worry about being implicated in something completely different for reporting a rape. Fuck out of here.

great, even more reasons for victims to never come forward

Since around the time trolls started continually tossing alts at the board every time their main is modded.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has invoked the never-used Emergencies Act to give his government enhanced authority in response to the anti-vaccine mandate protests and blockades gripping Canada.

The law will grant Mr Trudeau's government extraordinary powers for 30 days - including the power to prohibit public assembly, travel and the use of specific property.

The government could bar travel to or from specific areas - from Parliament Hill or major border crossings, for example. It could order the evacuation of people and personal property from certain areas, possibly using this power to clear out congested areas of protesters. And it could direct individuals and companies to render essential services, perhaps ordering tow-truck companies to lend their services and clear the roads of demonstrators and their vehicles.

But while Mr Trudeau's government may soon be granted an almost carte blanche to respond to the protests, there is no indication the prime minister will also seek military intervention.

Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland said banks will be able freeze personal accounts of anyone linked with the protests without any need for a court order.

Vehicle insurance of anyone involved with the demonstrations can also be suspended, she added.

She said they were broadening Canada's "Terrorist Financing" rules to cover cryptocurrencies and crowdfunding platforms, as part of the effort to clamp down on the protests.

Another shab alt? Most of their topics over the years have been china shill topix

Maybe weed is a performance enhancing drug. And what the Russian girl took isnt. Olympics wouldnt be this obvious with their rigging.

Well whatever, it's not like the moderator's gonna say "Oh I understand now, nevermind i'll overturn it" so this topic is pointless and it's probably time to hang it up here anyway. Really it's mostly been out of familiarity that i've been here the last 20 years but the world has moved on to Reddit and I probably should too, at least to get my news.

Fare thee well, everyone. It's been real.
