Discord and every other platform is much more willing to censor speech, even the ostensibly legal kind. Telegram's lack of proactive censorship is exactly why authoritarian cunts in Russia, Europe, and America have an axe to grind with it.

that's a reductio ad absurdum, the opposite of which would be adjusting our clocks by some seconds every day so the sun would always rise at 6:00:00 AM. both extremes are equally neat in some way and painfully inconvenient in many others.

the solution has always been adjusting the school/business hours as seen fit, not adjusting the clocks.

DST is one of those things our descendants will be baffled by the sheer stupidity of.

those people are far less numerous than you seem to believe. also, the current far right is not particularly fond of tattoos.

why not? it was hilarious to watch EU firebrands 'express concern' and 'urge restraint'. Bosnia, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya and Syria might as well have happened on another planet in another century, but Iran is happening right now and I'm not seeing European talking heads urging American people to take up arms against their government to end this illegal (?) war.

>"I support current thing" /pol/ lingo implies there is no valid reason to be against Russia's invasion of Ukraine

"I support current thing" /pol/ lingo implies their Ukraine banners were a reskin of BLM banners from a year before.

>PS: The blog blanners and all that were so powerless, yet they still trigger you 4 years later?

like I said, I found them amusing, especially those custom geofences on obscure blogs. a fucking John Johnson (they/them) from Oregon oblast goes out of his way to scold Ivan Ivanov (он/им) from Orenburg oblast for something John's own country did so many times in Ivan's lifetime he'd lost count.

also, all tech-adjacent Russians had VPNs by that point because of Taliban-tier morality policing, so bypassing those blocks took an eyeroll and two clicks.

which one would be easier to convince to eat pork, a rabbi or an imam?
