I could perfectly understand it if the US and EU were equally condemning towards both Russian and Ukrainian violations of international law, but what we get is that while Russia gets opposed, Ukraine gets money and a pat on the head. Honestly, the whole situation kinda resembles the Chechen wars in reverse, regarding how the opposing sides are viewed by the Anglophone community.
Better analogy would be Israel-Palestine conflict, but you get points for making me laugh with "Anglophone community".

But seriously, you can't be so naive that you think anyone (other than Russia) would push for sanctions against Ukraine when they are in a middle of a war, that would be playing straight into Russian hand when those "rebels" are effectively outside the reach of any legal repercussions since they can get safe haven in russia if things take turn for the worst for them, just like Yanukovych did. There would be nothing "moral" in handicapping Ukraine in favor of Russia, unless your definition of "moral" is "what is good for Russia".

Would it be possible to Descanize Mr. Strange's typing cat avatar?
Is anyone up for the challenge?

Actually, that's my main point - EU and US are not doing the moral thing here, everything else I don't really care about and can concede my position on.
Only if we are ignoring that opposing Russian violation of it's neighbours sovereignty could be considered moral thing to do...

It finally happened...

A Chat site with forums and stuff...

Where the entire gimmick is you aren't allowed to say anything negative.
Let me guess, next they make praising Mods and site policy mandatory? That sounds like early describtion of heaven personal hell to me. Thank Toady we have nothing like that here...

Can't you delete or at least selectively edit incriminating details out of your history?
...There's something wrong with visiting B12 and speaking about what troubles you?
'HOW DARE YOU CRITICISE ME I'VE DONE NOTHING WRONG YOU UNGRATEFUL BASTARD!' wouldn't be out of the question.
^This, plus the fact that I read about videogames (yes, this makes her pisse), that I talk with 'strangers' on the internet, that I have given these people my general location, that I hid something from her, that I am trans, among many others.

She'd probably think that I'm an ungrateful crybaby, you're all mentally sick pedophilic murderrapists and you infected me with the gays and I'm going to hell.

My dad... When I was nine or ten he once slapped me across the face and screamed at me for even mentioning a dream I had that had the color pink. I'm scared of what he'd do if he found out.
Somehow I don't think our kidnapping jokes would exactly help your case...

But in more serious note,
* Strange rages internally at parents who can't parent

* Strange makes another note to never visit USA

Birthdays are scary.

Bay 12 during birthdays.


Why does the cake need to be censored?
Do I even want to know?


Also, happy cake day C!

Draft. And that's what makes it so weird - nationalistic Western Ukrainian warhawks are running from the draft like Belgians (:P), while ethnically Russian guys from Ukrainian - controlled parts of Donetskaya and Luganskaya oblasts go and fight for their country.
So... did I get this right? Those ethnic russians living in the eastern Ukraine that were being persecuted by Ukranian facist junta are willing to fight and die, to not be liberated and annexed by glorious mother Russia?
Another way to look at it is to ask what western Ukraine has to lose in this war, at worst they get another dictator that bends over for Russia lording over them.


Also, completely unrelated to the war in Ukraine, what's this I keep hearing about hundreds of Russian solders dying in Rostov Oblast these days?

I *think* it's this one.

"Maoyuu Maou Yuusha - "Be Mine, Hero!" "I refuse!"

But regardless that page has links to all the others anyway, so it's still useful.
I remember reading that while back, thanks for reminding me! It was actually pretty damn good too, from what I remember...

Yeah, based on what I know of corporate behaviour "shoot the messenger" is the first course of action whenever something unpleasant is brought up. And that's ignoring nepotism...



And in case anyone wanted to lose faith in humanity (again). "Jesus wants you to get it amputated" edition.

You dun gud, Tru. You dun gud.

I've been advocating hammer to the feces' faces approach for years but no one has taken me seriously. Maybe I should start using "You should have gone to law school" as an obscure curse from now on?

And Tru, even when your job feels like shit and that you're surrounded by ungratefull idiots, there's one thing you should never forget...

Yeah, didn't work for me either when I tried it yesterday, I got maybe 1 hour of sleep. Even better, fell asleep on the sofa right away when I got home today and just woke up now, no idea if I can get any sleep tonight before I need to get to work at little over 6 hours from now...
This week is going to be so much fun.

Sonofa--
A second power outage! On a day with no adverse weather! Whyyyyyyyyy

Guess who just lost more than an hour of Age of Wonders III gameplay?
Guess who didn't bother to charge his phone which is now below half-

fakeedit, power just came back on. Better plug my phone in while I have the chance x_x
Do you not have your desktop on a UPS?
Nope. Power outages are usually pretty rare around here so I didn't think about it ._.
Ah. At my house we used to have power outages ALL THE FUCKING TIME (service has since been improved) so personally I consider it almost essential to have one with a desktop.
What's this "power outage" you keep talking about?  :P

My mom tried teaching me about a week or two ago. She just sat me down at the table and talked rather rapidly about how to cook eggs, beans, and sausage.
Why~?
I actually facepalmed reading that. That's just horrible, no one's going to learn anything just listening about it.

You could always try to learn by yourself, there are some youtube videos that teach simple cooking you could watch.


How soon can you move out? You're not eighteen yet, right?

Uh, it seems the topic of conversation has changed, but...Yeah, I'm 13.
13? Going by anime rules, you should've saved the world or become the most powerful something-or-other at least twice by now!

In all seriousness, though, I hope things calm down and get better inside your family. I'd enjoy it if just once a Bay12er's family would go from pretty bad/terrible to neutral and up. As it's been said, you can talk to any of us down here.

Same goes for you too, BlackFlyme. Though I'm sure you already know that last bit.
Yes, there will always be random strangers from the internet cheering you up!


My sad is that I spent whole weekend trying to change my sleeping schedule so I could wake up around 4am when I normally go to bed, since I started morning shift this week. It didn't work.
Working after one hour of sleep = not a good idea.
