Anyone remembers Malala? Or that 8-yo girl who tweeted to the US & NATO to bomb the hell out of Syria? Meet Hassan, the brave Ukrainian 11 year old who went 1200 kilometers on foot (according to some sources), from Zaporozhe to Slovakia.


you really expect me to believe this, you can do better.jpg

Totally a true & honest story, as reported by BBC.

Hilarious if true. Any Russian translator here?
Soyfaggot: "Do you want a lot of money? You have a lot of money? What are you flailing your arms about?"
Grampa: *punches the soyfaggot*
Soyfaggot: "Are you out of your fucking mind you fucking faggot?" *unintelligible due to wind* "I'll find you!"

Not sure what the first line was about.

May not be the most interesting clips, but it does confirm the assumption that footage of Russian progress can only be recorded by authorized Russian press or social media channels (like WarGonzo). All other videos of Russian movements are being recorded by Ukie civilians, I believe.

Speaking of WarGonzo, they do have a YouTube channel that you can check out here.
I do like that Russian camo that the reporter is wearing. Its so similar to the ATACS Foliage Green Camo.


Anyone know to get camo bdus of this sort that these Russians are using or that other full green dot colored one also?
 
Is this really going to cause an economic crash or people entertaining the possibility?
Everyone is memeing slightly. But fuel costs are the highest they've ever been and rising. Biden is crawling to Iran and Venezuela to beg them to forgive us and let us buy oil. Everything in the country relies on oil as we use trucks to transport things. So everything is going to increase in price in our already crippled economy.

Edit: plus apparently we are going to print a bunch of fucking paper to hand out to people for free which won't help inflation

Long story short, things aren't gonna get better. But nobody really knows how bad things are gonna get.

It's just multicam. And if you wear cammies in public, you look autistic.
Ramzan Kadyrov the Chechen leader posted this on Telegram.

Sucks to suck, weeb. America is Japan's suzerain, by right of atomic buck-breaking.

More on-topic, I noticed the New York Stock Exchange rebounded significantly mid-day (ExxonMobil dropped while the Dow and most other stocks jumped the opposite direction). Was this due to Biden's speech to not buy Russian oil?
Or people covering shorts.

My investing is based on public emotions. Fuck technicals and P/Es and shit. Public panic makes money.
I'm not ready to buy in yet. I'm not expecting a lot of good moves from Brandon, Pelosi and The Squad.
 
There is nothing too spectacular about this video since it's your typical melodramatic cringe, but that e-begging though.

As I said in the other thread, Ukraine's corpse is an all you can eat buffet for all kinds of e-beggars, grifters and Internet shysters.
 
Took the morning walk. Gas prices here on the central coast of California are moving through the $5/gallon range. Noticed Shell was asking $6.25 for premium. They are the most expensive in town.

Some thoughts on the gas price situation. This is likely to get even more people working from home. Many still commute to Silicon Valley. May well see more people using various types of mass transit. Vehicle-wise, we are in far better shape than we were in 1973, the first oil shock. At that time the number of American cars that came standard with four-cylinder engines could probably be counted on one hand. All I can think of are the Ford Pinto, Chevy Vega, and the Chevy Nova. The Gremlin and Ford Maverick came with sixes. Most vehicles then had V-8's, of varying displacements. Now the opposite is true. Most American cars have fours as standard, some have sixes or V-6s, and only a few come with V-8's. Even full-size pickup trucks can come with a four or a V-6. Many of these fours and V-6s make as much or more horsepower than most V-8's did in 1973, with much better gas mileage. For some reason remember regular being at $3.20/gallon on 20 January 2021, when Joey and his regime came to power.

Some will buy electric vehicles, if they can afford it. Then charging those vehicles could stress the local electric grid, never that robust, and lead to even higher prices for electricity. We are fortunate. Don't drive that much, car pretty fuel-efficient, fill up on base only every couple of weeks.

My guess - in our area, regular will end up at or about $6/gallon, premium about $7 before it starts coming down, but don't see it going under $4 again any time soon.
