All purpose news and politics thread part VI: This Is Not The Time For Posing

[nose norton]

No…but you originally used term “celebration” rather than national holiday. It’s a well known important day when nearly everyone in UK reflects on the sacrifices the 1940’s generation made to help win the Second World War, and has (to date) seen major public events on significant anniversaries like 25th, 50th, 75th.

No need to be confused. It’s well covered in Wiki.

This is what I said: "There's a reason why Victory Day is still commemorated. What's the western equivalent? There isn't, the USA still celebrates July 4, no one remembers WWII." Meaning that the commemoration is a national holiday at the level of the 4th of July. You mentioning a celebration that obviously wasn't comparable, had me confused. I don't think Wikipedia would've helped me much, because it was you who apparently confused Victory Day as commemorated by the Russians with what is elsewhere remembered every 25 years.

The article says the opposite you think it does. But then again misinformation is the first goal of a Russian asset trolling the internet. I hope Putin pays you well for your disgusting defense of his atrocities.

The article says what you think, that Zelenski's right hand let it slip it was them who messed it up again with their air defense system, like the incident in Poland, or the one today with the helicopter, so he's been sacked because he forgot (?) his job isn't telling the truth.

I'm I supposed to make some personal comment about you? Like how much does the CIA pay you? That'd be rubbish, you simply can't muster more brainpower, it happens.

Excuse me, comrade, but explain how that would matter much, as Russia was the one who fired the missile in the first place? Why would they be to blame for shooting down a missile that was fired without cause?

I'm not blaming them for causing more damage by downing the missile, I'm blaming them for lying, because it got old real quick.

"causing more damage"

Ya just did it there, comrade, and you moved the goal post.

Should we be flattered that we have our own Russian troll? I'd figure they'd be on like, CNN or Fox boards, but here seems fields afar.

Are people flattered when they see a cockroach in their kitchen?

If that cockroach chose my home over better furbished homes?

...maybe.

Would still step on it, though.

For someone who claims to have a problem with lies, he seems to have no problem with the side that lies more. Or the first lie they told, that this troops were only on maneuvers and weren't there to do anything in Ukraine.

Or maybe he cares nothing for truth at all, and will seize any excuse he can to attack Ukraine and excuse Russia.

The Hogwarts Legacy video game controversy going on exposed something else. Something I never realized and I don't think anyone else did either on a mainstream level. In fact it was something revealed in a Twitter argument between 2 people over the game. Where one user told the person condemning people for buying the game about this one.

That's in addition to several multi-billion dollar investments from the Saudi government into EA, Take-Two, Activision, Nintendo and more.

This is something surprising as I had no clue the Saudi government was invested into the video game industry. Its very shocking to see this revelation. The Saudi's have a very bad record on human rights for women and others. So its ....very wild to see this revelation they have stock in these companies.

Flattered? Nahhhhh! These sort of kooks are like gnats that annoy you by flying in front of your face.

They've been getting their hands in slowly for years now, trying to diversify while also soften there image. I believe they outright own SNK now (Publisher of Metal Slug, King of Fighters, Fatal Fury, and other series).

This is one of those times that I feel like Andy Kaufman might still be out there somewhere...

DeSantis is now demanding all information regarding ANY gender affirming care provided by Florida State Colleges and Universities. This would include treatments provided for trans college students enrolled at state universities.

Yeah, I decided not to buy King of Fighters XV because the company's owned by the bone saw guy.

Oh WBE, get a load of this charmer, trying to criminalize pronouns.

The first question on SB2199, a bill fining people $1,500 for using pronouns "not associated with deoxyribonucleic acid" in North Dakota, asks the senator:

"How do you plan on enforcing this?"

The senator pushing the bill is at a loss for words.

North Dakota Senator: "To determine if you are male or female is probably the simplest test of DNA"

It's cool sponsored by Senators Clemens, Vedaa, and Weston and Representatives K. Anderson, Schauer, and Tveit.

These people have grade school understandings of biology.

Yeah If you had told me that country was investing in video games I would have been shocked. The Saudi's themselves want to buy the WWE and one of those in the running as well.

George Santos aka Anthony Devol aka Anthony Zabrovsky aka ... Queen Kitara!?

Man, this is getting super strange.
