Australia's equivalent climates
  • As someone who lived a large part of my life in australia, so can I. But the point is not if I or you can understand it, but if the general audience can, if it is portrayed in both an accurate and rigorous way.

    Unfortunately, it isn’t.

  • Would have been far better to get the name of the climate instead of some american region, or an ultra broad category like “north india”, which has the himalyas, plains, jungle, and much in between

    Lithuania installed "dragon's teeth" and mines in front of the bridge on the border with the Kaliningrad region
  • I think it can be for two things at once. Definetly more for show, but increases annoyance/makes a possible invasion more annoying.

    Obviously I imagine they have a way to blow up the bridge too which sounds far more effective.

The ministry explained that the Queen Louise Bridge is Russian property, so Lithuania cannot install "dragon's teeth" and mines on the bridge itself, but only in front of it.

  • Obviously you know I was referring to association football. I’m aware of the etymology of soccer and ruggers, but thank you for your insightful comment. It genuinely was a nice read. While etymology is interesting. It doesn’t dictate the current usage of language.

    On the topic, I used to play Aussie Rules (Australian Football).

    When will we ever get the option for a custom search engine? (Safari)
  • If you’re looking for a free way to do it. The “Hyperweb” extension lets you.

    But this is an imperfect solution as it just redirects, and your search still gets sent to your safari default + it takes longer to load.

    Is it me or is everyone in hexbear insane?
  • They aren’t even really left. They are super authoritarian.

    I blocked them since they spew Russian and Chinese propaganda points and take revisionist stances on Tianman square and deny the Uyghur Genocide.

    www.politico.eu FBI dossier reveals Putin’s secret psychological warfare in Europe

    Russian information warriors identified Germany as a particularly easy target for Moscow’s influence, U.S. law enforcement said.

    WASHINGTON — The U.S. government on Wednesday indicted two Russian citizens and seized more than 30 internet domains related to a campaign to influence the American election.

    But the trove of information filed in court by the FBI also revealed another bombshell: A Russian operation to manipulate German, French, Italian and U.K. politicians, businesspeople, journalists and other influencers.

    The goal of the Kremlin’s campaign in Europe was to sow division, discredit America and undermine support for Ukraine, according to a host of Russian documents, memos and minutes from Russian psychological warfare meetings.

    […]

    One memo from Russia’s “Social Design Agency” described a plan to target people via real posts and comments on social media to circumvent social media companies' bot filters.

    The Social Design Agency acts under the orders of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s deputy chief of staff Sergey Kiriyenko, according to the FBI court affidavit.

    The Russian document says the goal of the campaign is to “evoke in the audience rational (such as, 'really, why do WE need to help Ukraine?') and emotional (such as, 'Americans are such scumbags!') reactions.”

    The psy-ops also relied on so-called doppelgänger domains to spread fake articles and content made to look like they came from Western media outlets.
