'demographic changes' is an interesting way to describe the decimation of an entire countries population of able-bodied males.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 11 months ago

It's more that they've been in a long demographic decline since the USSR broke up, particularly among ethnic Russians. Of course 300K dead soldiers plus all the people who fled the country altogether sure as heck isn't helping them either.

Isn’t it amazing that a psychopath who goes around fermenting war and terrorising his people now wants to turn women into baby factories. Sounds like Republicans.

Fomenting war. Fermenting war would probably be a good thing, considering that part of the fermentation process is waiting. Ah, if only world leaders could take a page from your book, though. "Should I try some war? Nah, I think I'll let it ferment some more..." *Goes back to sharpening shiv to protect their toilet ~~wine~~ war.*

Considering the quality of the kremlin's war machine, fermenting seems pretty accurate. Both are same PIE root btw, meaning to heat up.

Ugh, just do me now. Nothing sexier than some etymology from a stranger. Sincerely, I appreciate that tidbit more than sarcastic-sounding typed words can express.

I just like doublets, I think it gives some interesting perspective. Those pair with fever and thus fervor as well. Different levels of burning/boiling.

The perils of autocorrect and less diligence in checking the result.

Is that how kimchi is made?

Do they with "certain values" mean their abnormal high numbers of domestic violence (not a crime in russia) or the rape-culture inside their military (also not a crime)? Or do they mean with "certain values" to mass-arrest everyone who is showing the least critique or forming an own opinion about the war? Or are the certain values to kill hundred of thousands of your own people in a senseless war? Or the value of killing or poisoning people not only in their own but also foreign countries for political reasons? These values? Or the value to undermine the politics of sovereign countries by hiring troll-workers and use microtargeting to misinform people via social media about that countries policies? Russia has so many values, sometimes I am really confused what their most important values are.

Putin’s probably establishing a program where he personally inseminates all the hotties for the greater good.

That's how you get a generation of bald hobbits.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

But being a bald hobbit will be the government mandated beauty ideal.
