Feels like something teenagers would wear to look cool. Or adult Megadeth fans, I suppose. Most of the mercenaries/Soldiers I know are teenagers (or very close). Are there any older Eastern European comedy TV shows about WWII? I know it's a crazy question, but my wife is really into Hogan's Hero's, and Dad's Army. For some reason, silly military comedies are right up her alley and It'd be cool if there was one from her region's perspective.

I dont know if you are still in Belarus or left, but anyone with that patch who doesnt have solid killer credentials will be laughed out of the room. I literally never seen this patch on anyone ever. Also, Paladinus might be serving his 15 days in prison for protesting Also, Ive seen euronews little input of the situation, what a piece of poo poo footage. There was 60 000 people at the rally and they show 10 dudes in masks clapping in absolutely different area of the city

I’ve been stuck in Belarus for months because of COVID situation. Gonna join the protest tomorrow. I figure the worst thing that could happen is i'll be arrested and deported back to Russia. And that would be fine as I miss Moscow

Youtube, twitter, and some other social media and news websites are very slow in Belarus right now. There are rumours of complete blackout later today and next week to prevent protesters from organising. Some companies, especially in IT, take those rumours seriously and urge workers to plan their activities accordingly. E: VPNs are also partially down.

Situation is utterly odd. My theory is that everything depends on who is in charge of every polling station. My station was chill, light jazz playing, nobody interfered with my right to take the photo of the bulletin. Yet in our telegram chat people report that the next station over the comission is vicious, they give people with white bracelet (symbol of protest) the bulletin marked with blue dot, so its easy to identify what goes into garbage, yell et you and call the cops when you try to photograph. E: yeah, messengers barely work or don;t work at all E2: I've seen army the in the city, on hummers aren't we sanctioned? Sekenr fucked around with this message at 13:37 on Aug 9, 2020 |

Uhm, who's hosed around with my post, lmao?HUGE PUBES A PLUS posted:I found it last night on twitter. Yeah, I tried to ask around, but nobody seems to know the source. With all independent political polls banned by Lukashenko, people seem to just post whatever gives them hope. I definitely wouldn't trust it more than the 73% Lukashenko's official poll promises him. It's clear that Lukashenko's lost a lot of support, but wishful thinking like that can be outright harmful. Various telegram channels yesterday were spreading rumours that Lukashenko's ex-prime minister was ready to join the protests and later take part in the new government along with a bunch of generals, and none of it seems to be based on anything either. E: managed to track down a possible source. It was previously reported on telegram (of course) that Gallup conducted a phone poll in Belarus that gave Tikhanovskaya 65%, but Gallup denied they were doing anything in Belarus and calls allegedly came from Russian numbers. There is a possibility Gallup unknowingly conducted polling illegally using some Russian call centre, and now understandably don't want any problems, but it's still pretty dubious, and it's equally possible it's just random numbers to bolster more support for upcoming protests.

Paladinus posted:Uhm, who's hosed around with post, lmao? Obviously yeah, but there is another side to this. I do not know a single person who voted Lukashenko and my uber driver said the same thing without any prompting from me. That wa s moment of puzzlement. He, bing a taxi driver gets to meet much more people than me, and they expressed all sorts of displeasure with the tyrant, he was honestly confused how is it possible to win if every single person he met hates him. So in a situation where scientific approach is forbidden (and probably because results are not pretty) than all we got is word of mouth and mine is - nobody likes him.

If you're in Minsk, even official results of 2015 elections give Lukashenko only 65% there. I would expect it to be close to 30% in real life this year, but I have literally no way to confirm it other than saying, well, none of my friends vote for him, and that's a really bad way to go about it. On my latest visit to Gomel I've definitely overheard people in the street talking about evil opposition leaders who just want to sell all state-owned factories to oligarchs and foreign investors, and I bet some of them literally don't know anyone who votes against Lukashenko. It drives me mad that even the most trivial thing like gauging president's popularity is absolutely impossible, and in itself it's a pretty good indication of deep issues that are endemic to the system built by Lukashenko.

I am trying to post a hilarious video of stupid as gently caress a situation when a chairwoman of a voting comission is climbing out of a window on a ladder with a bag of votes. To avoid independant observers who are waiting in the hallway, simply not ready for such adventerous spirit from the comission. and a cop is holding down that ladder. this is literally belarus.txt, everyone is so calm and quiet nothing out of the ordinary, just a bit of embarrasment

Us: what did she steal in that bag Ermoshina: We checked the bag and there was nothing illegal in there, in fact the bag was full of babies she was saving from brutal killers, the "independant" observers, russo-pilish-ukranian terrorists

Yermoshina just announced that there were shortages at some polling stations. And absolutely not related to that, some independent observers reported that there are polling stations with turnout over 100%.

Over 100% turnouts happened in Poland too, though attributed to mass voting by people temporarily registered to vote outside of their usual polling places due to being on vacation.

Russia's best option is to sit and wait for now, and to hope Lukashenko clears up Belarusian domestic issues quickly. another Maidan-esque scenario is kind of a wildcard, and even then it's hard to say if Russia would repeat the same playbook again--a lot of poo poo has changed since 2014.
