I’ll assume they’re talking about breaking up clumps instead of the thing a serial killer would do and then just phrased it poorly.

Must be cold, give it a blanket.

Belgrade has a bunch of Russians who suddenly had somewhere else to be a couple Februaries ago.

Skip the preamble and lead with the last line, you’ve already won me over.

/c/ToiletThoughts since they’re getting flushed away.

I’ll clarify but there’s only so much of the reading comprehension I can do for you. What they are doing now and what they have done in the past is harmful. My interpretation of the tiny little steps they’re taking toward being less awful is that they’re trying to find the minimum acceptable level of forward progress to ward off the executioner for a little while longer. No praise for this exercise in self-preservation, it’s the very least they can get away with and even then, it’s long overdue.

If you can’t afford food, heat, rent, etc., apply for assistance from things like SNAP and other programs (local, state and federal). Call 211 for information on available resources in your area.

Additional details available from this article on defense.gov (archive link). They’ve identified this person as a target of the attack:

…Mushtaq Jawad Kazim al-Jawari, a leader of the Iran-backed Harakat al-Nujaba terrorist group…

“Can add value” is a long way from “does add value” and it’s been few generations since you could say the latter about the Catholic church and religion in general. Longer if you tack on “equal to or greater than what they take” but that’s not where I set the bar up the comment chain.

It’s not admirable for them to allow themselves to be dragged, kicking and screaming, toward the minimum standard for being decent to your fellow human being. It’s disgusting that they’ve taken this long, fought this hard against it and still aren’t even close to where they ought to be.

Then that’s where we disagree.

Never said they don’t have an impact, just that they shouldn’t.

That’s another problem to solve then. Continuing to pretend that an old piece of shit with a big hat is some kind of moral authority does everybody involved a disservice. Don’t give them power, don’t give them attention and don’t vote for their followers.

As a signal to the backwards bigots of the world to be slightly less shitty once in a while, it’s great. Still shouldn’t be pretending that crusty old useless institutions have anything of value to add. No points awarded for only being a few decades behind the majority to (grudgingly) recognize the gays as fellow humans.

Makes sense that they’d be looking for a new hookup since their last guy “killed himself” in his cell while the cameras were experiencing technical difficulties.

…like the onion

If you ordered it off Wish from a shady Moscow merchant.

Great, now where will I go to find naked people on the internet?

Or a person sees shitbots parroting Kremlin and CCP talking points all across the web and wants to avoid getting lumped in with them.

More of a gamma grindset since if you get hit by enough of those rays, you might not have recognizable DNA anymore.

This is also the crowd whose second favorite book that they’ve never read is a fantasy about the wealthy robber barons making their own society with blackjack and hookers and leaving the rest of us to rot.

“…top floor of the house he shares here with a senior Russian diplomat…”

You’d think that a Russki would have learned to fear heights by now. Also tea, umbrellas, underwear, ice picks…
