Yes not doubt scam centers are real and there are real victims forced to work there.

I just think she is not one of those victims

Sarah grabbed the office’s shared smartphone and ran downstairs to the building’s entrance, where the guard was momentarily absent. Using Google translate, she asked a taxi driver to drive her to a hospital.

“I can’t even believe it, because I just went out,” Sarah says, now in Kampala, as her two-year-old son plays on the floor next to her. “Maybe God helped me to go.”

I also can’t believe it honestly. She has been supposedly abducted/trafficked yet she could just walk out like that?

TLDR; they are banning various Armenian imports (including fish) for food safety concerns but many believe its a political move since Armenia is now leaning more toward the EU

Same here, battery running for years with no noticeable degradation

French navy has boarded Russia-linked oil tanker in Atlantic

A better title that is inline with Russian news propaganda: French navy has “liberated” Russia-linked oil tanker in Atlantic

Regarding VPN being slow, two possibilities here:

1. They analyze internet packets, detect VPN connections and deliberately throttle them.
2. They just slow down anything that is not a common protocol (not http, https, ftp, …) that would make other things like torrent or even ssh session to be also equally slow.

If it is the first possibility, I know that OpenVPN with static key tend to be very difficult to detect if not impossible. Its also a bit faster but it has its cons that I encourage you to read about.

If it is the second possibility then you need to disguise your VPN traffic as https. I know its doable but I am fuzzy on the details.

I am not ignoring them. I am doing my part and reporting them to mods.

Don’t get me wrong there is nothing wrong with their comments but when you view their profile and see its 100% political posts and all about same topic (Russia/Iran/China are great and US/Israel is shit) then you’ll realize you’re dealing with bots.

I don’t want to spend my time arguing with ChatGPT or another language model

any post that even suggest Iran might be doing something wrong gets heavily down voted from bots.

I get it that each party in the war try to spread its propaganda but this is getting ridiculous. I hope mods do something about these bots

reports that President Trump had agreed to any plan for the Kurds to launch an insurgency in Iran were “completely false.”

wink wink

If Russia were to win the war - big if - then the cost is well worth it.

If Russia doesn’t win, its the end of Putin.

I think Putin understands that so hecan’t really back down.

damned if you pollute, damned if you don’t :)

I am joking. If sulfate particles are that good we would’ve sprayed them on purpose. I feel like these would contribute to acidic rain which destroys the oceans and also bad for health and for crops

Make Voting Great Again

Honestly he is right and the British know he is right. It’s just the US is so unreliable these days that they have no choice but to work with China

Not to mention most of them running windows and using microsoft office

Russia’s “Special Military Operation” in Ukraine: Mapping Progress

There fixed the title for you

The surprising part is not that Russia knows. Trump is known for spilling the beans whenever he get a chance to.

The surprising part is that Russia cooperated with the US - -seemingly - against its interests and China’s while keeping its biggest ally since war in Ukraine (China) in the dark.

I am not making any conclusions until I see some evidence and not just claims

Good for him

How does the journalist knows that Donetsk is only “Temporarily” occupied . Do they know that it will be liberated in the near - or even far - future?

I know the news article is about abducting Ukrainian children not the status of Donetsk region but when the title is clearly biased I have to doubt the article’s claims. especially when the news source is “united4media.com”

I hope no one would go: “since you doubt pro Ukraine news source then obviously you support Russia”. You can be pro Ukraine while questioning some new sources.

I think they meant that it cost way more than food to solve world hunger.

to solve world hunger you need:

1. Put an end to all Civil wars
2. Stop countries from using hunger as weapon (i.e Israel)
3. eliminate all dictators who hoard their countries’ wealth to themselves and their generals
4. stop powerful countries from destabilizing poorer ones to their benefit.
5. provide proper medical care and education otherwise people would just reproduce more until they absorb the additional food supply

Giving money to poorer countries helps but it will not “solve” the hunger problem no matter how much you give.

lStop giving them money would be the right move. Israel receives the biggest chunk of US military aid
