So, i think the point is that some gas stations have fuel but are only providing it to people who are connected to Putin in some way... this is to distinguish a place that has no fuel at all.
Boy do the Russian propagandists on Facebook hate when you make these jokes. I'd say they are all just AI but some of them get angry enough that I think there's at least a few real humans responding. It's the last remaining joy on that hellhole of a platform. That and angering christofascist Trump supporters, that's also a lot of fun.
Correct, as long as they aren't driving a truck towards Crimea, they are safe to leave... Ukraine has stated that they will not attack the bridge while passenger cars are on it (unless obviously military used).
I thought he was driving in the center line of a traffic jam and was going to get nailed by the cops. Have to watch it twice now that I know it's legit.
Not all public transport in the EU and Asia is electric. Not to mention, oil affects more than just transportation. Without fuel, the global food supply would collapse in weeks.
As chemist I have to say oil is much too valuable to burn anyway. It gives us access to a plethora of chemical raw materials for chemical industrial production that would otherwise be much more expensive to obtain.
"more expensive to obtain" : my dear chemist friend, you just assessed that it is possible to obtain them WITHOUT OIL ??? Did i understand correctly ? Let's get into crazy thinking, because oil on Earth is not unlimited, and it peaked already : imagine that... 1/ the wealth is shared correctly among humans so the costs are not a problem anymore for the Masses. 2/ even is some stuff is more expensive, it can be produced without oil (cellulosis can replace some plastics as well... )
I'm not sure what you're trying to say. Of course you can access the contents of oil without oil, oil is just a mixture of organic compounds, and to make them from abundant natural materials using organic synthesis, chemists learn how to do it. It just takes extra steps, which cost energy, which in turn costs money. That's all there is to it. I'm well aware that the earth is overextended in terms of resource use, but that doesn't mean organic synthesis stopped working.
Okay, I have to admit I'm not sure what that has to do with my statement that we should use oil as feed stock for chemical synthesis instead of just burning it?
I'm sure anyone with the time and know-how could just completely replace the battery let alone build an entire vehicle from scratch parts. We've been fighting an uphill battle for Right to Repair for years. "Nice tech ppl" haven't saved the world yet, and its less likely when oil companies get involved.
My county banned the use of e-bikes equipped with throttles (class 2 & 3). If caught, they'll confiscate and charge a $700 fine. Spent thousands on bikes for the family and now we can't even use them as normal bikes. Fucking clowns in our government...
Well, shit. Fuck me for riding my electric-powered bicycle to the grocery store instead of revving up my 2 ton car. What's this bullshit about it being unsafe for ANYONE and about riding them on pedestrian AND bike infrastructure - you're just making wildly broad bullshit statements. It's already illegal in most places to ride bikes in pedestrian lanes and complaining about bikes in the bike lane is some Karen shit. Honestly, for your own sake, keep your shit opinions to yourself. Aggro AF
Shit like this will kill vulnerable populations first. The handicapped, the ill, the old, they all die first when systems fail. I understand wanting change, but wanting it to come via disaster will hurt innocents first, and those responsible literally last.
The people calling for violence know that, they do not give a shit about those populations... and they apparently have never read a history book as the people in power just move to someplace safe while the rest of us suffer in the ruins.
After Russia invaded Crimea in 2014, they started moving more Russians into Crimea. Something like 100,000 Ukrainians have left, and 800,000 Russians have moved in. Russia is trying to reshape the demographics of the region to build support for their claim that the residents of Crimea want to be part of Russia by moving more Russians in to support that claim.
I'm well aware of the atrocities that the US has committed. However, my family didn't arrive until the 1900s. I didn't really have a choice in living here, the Russians occupying Ukraine do.
I mean... did they? Its not like putin was fairly elected and represents the russian people in any meaningful capacity. I would also argue that the opression experienced by many russians under the soviet union made it impossible to feel safe speaking out regardless of the regeime change (and it really doesnt seem to be any better than it was 35 years ago). :/ the people are just reaping all the consequences of one psychopath's actions.
Most of them moved there after the illegal annexation.
That's... at least some measure of responsibility. Russia has done this before too, seize land, drive out the people, move in "ethnic Russians" from the Moscow/St. Petersburg regions to seize assets etc.
Putin's approval rating, as best we can tell, is hovering around 70% to 80%. So I feel bad for the minority that doesn't support him. The rest, AKA most, can get fucked.
In the end, the people suffer for their government's crimes. My heart won't go out to the suffering of a people when their government is evil. Either take up arms against the government, leave, or you accept you deserve what comes your way through your tacit tolerance.
You've heard about Crimean Tatars ? Probaly not, so please read this to know more about how and since when ruSSians populated Crimea : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crimean_Tatars For your information, the original people living in the USA were NOT white... Sioux, Apaches, Cherokees, Mohicans, Hurons and many more were the legal landlords.
they deserve it just as much as any German who moved into bloodstained homes in Poland post 1939, decked out with stolen Jewish gold deserved their treatment
Ukraine predates Russia, by your logic there is a whole bunch of Ukraine's living in Russia so Russia should just hand over that territory. As hey those were Ukraines centuries ago.
they cheered for russia taking Crimea. They love whenever russia takes some other countrys land. They're like Israel. You can argue it's their upbringing but it's who they are now and the most healthy is a defeat like ww2 germany to learn some better behavior
I spent 10 years in the US Army, I feel the current waves of casualties are an absolute tragedy and what we are doing to Iran is a crime against humanity.... most of the war crimes are being committed by the usual suspects, the US Navy and USAF.
Yes, they are all the same. Caught hook line and sinker by powerful propaganda. I pity them for their inability to think critically well enough to see what the rest of us do. Sure they need to have, uh, certain personality traits to be susceptible to it, but the "news media" and our governments are to blame.

Because they are not safe for pedestrians or really anyone... They should be banned.
