‘Anneesa also shared her experience with the language barrier, adding: "We were naive on that. I needed to use the washroom, and on the doors said male and female, but I didn't know which was which!"
"In America, that wouldn't be a problem; it's a free-for-all in the bathrooms, but now, in our world, it matters!" her husband chimed in.’
How programmed were they and by whom? I can just imagine the YouTube channels they subscribe to.

@Sanderde @clpkbc i would wish for them all to move to Russia if Russia wasn't such an objectively horrible place for absolutely anyone. But I do not sympathize with them. Fools!

FTFY: A gas station run by thugs armed with many *atomic* bombs

@paninid @Timotei @chris @paul Nuclear weapons, although given what we've seen on the fields of Ukraine, it might be a motley collection of Potemkin hardware.

@thepoliticalcat @Timotei @chris @paul
Given the capital-intensive resource requirements for the upkeep, care, and babysitting of nuclear weapons, a Potemkin maintenance state actually makes it worse.

@paninid @Timotei @chris @paul Don't I know it! They're on the verge of letting a power station turn into a giant nuclear explosion in Europe! But there's still hope, and panic never helps, so I'll just keep waiting and watching and working on my little corner of the world.

@thepoliticalcat @paninid @chris @paul Realistically, either Putin dies naturally, and is replaced with a sane person, or there's a palace coup. I don't see the peasants rising up, and marching on the Kremlin with burning torches, and pitchforks, they're too terrified, and demoralised. Perhaps Ukraine will find a way to take him out.

@Timotei @thepoliticalcat @paninid @paul and many of them also thoroughly brainwashed

[piratero@mastodon.world]

@chris likely, they expected to cash in from their idiot followers.

@DavidM_yeg @chris ……… oh well.

[chris@mstdn.chrisalemany.ca]

@DavidM_yeg God. I have a horrible feeling that I know that lady she looks very familiar.

[chris@mstdn.chrisalemany.ca]

@DavidM_yeg also. I am just gonna go out on a limb and say greater than 50% chance that that is not a peaceful household.

"Encouraging others to consider a similar move, Arend touted Russia's perceived openness to welcoming American families, "especially large families, Christian farming families, conservative people."

He's probably of Mennonite extraction and has no f'n clue what Stalin did to those "Christian farming families".
