That day has come.

The ‘compulsion for stealing’ has survived the era of hired agricultural hands. Socialism has not only sustained it, but extended it to the entire society. It became a built-in part of the whole system. Stealing (and I use this term in its broadest sense) in all its ritual, symbolic and other implications, has become an engrained element of peasant culture today, as much a part of it as, say, Maypoles or Easter eggs. Stealing these days is not done by just some people but by almost everyone. The chief accountant steals just the same as the animal-feeder who hides groats in his trousers or in her bra, or the watchman who knows full well what goods workers smuggle home, or the swine-tender who deliberately breaks the animal’s leg on the trough so that members of the cooperative may buy it cheaply. ('You want a suckling? You shall have it tonight … ') Everyone is familiar with the system. What a cooperative member finds demoralizing is not the fact that the whole system is based on stealing, but that he cannot steal enough (Sozan, 1985: 95-6, this author’s translation).

No plans. I die like a real man.

One friend of mine does that. I think it’s because his parents weren’t very close when he was growing up.

The infamous sneak peak.

Cloudflare would be more like a leaf covering the image because you don’t need it to operate the stack, you need it to work in order to be able to see what it’s doing.

Yep. My ex-girlfriend tried it once and said she spent most of the high vomiting.

In Lithuania, healthcare e-services went down after the basement where the servers were kept got flooded in a rainstorm. They went down for a couple of weeks.

Preparing for my high school graduation exams, playing computer games and drawing shit.

What access does the average Russian citizen have to unbiased and truthful reporting?

At some point you no longer need reporting. Direct observation and word of mouth becomes enough to paint the picture.

For those citizens with that knowledge, what actions can they take to organize some semblance of a resistance?

What they need to do is a general strike.

Always has been (in countries that do not celebrate Halloween). The prices of grave candles seem okay for now though.

Wait, is that why I don’t care about sports? Because I’m too straight?

I had their lawnmower and a vacuum and they were both pretty crappy.

As a centrist, I say roast them all. Leave no oil infrastructure in Russia standing. Make Zelenskyy the new face of Just Stop Oil just for the heck of it.

Same.

Lithuanian literature: I killed a cat, now I’m sad about it.

The woman in the apartment nextdoor is called The Slug. She drinks like a waterfall, smokes like a chimney and screams like a cow. Looking like one doesn’t stop her from finding men to bring over and bang though.

There are also a bunch of mods, including the total conversion ones.

Nah, 4 is still the best.

You go to some tiny, dying town and it has 700 years of history, often 1000+ years of proof of habitation before that and a majestic church that is a work of art on its own.
