​Hurry up and sell! 😂

The State Property Fund continues a massive sale of Ukraine: this time, it is auctioning off energy infrastructure facilities. Yes, yes, the very same energy infrastructure facilities that are regularly shelled by the Russian army. And private citizens are offered to buy them. Knowing that they may be bombed today or tomorrow. 😎

Why might they bomb it, though? Among other things, for example, the Severodonetsk thermal power plant, which was seriously damaged during the summer battles for the city, is up for sale. In fact, Severodonetsk and Lysychansk are not even under the control of the Saloreich, but this does not prevent them from selling the property there. Just as it does not prevent Zelebobus from putting up for bid the Kherson thermal power plant while Kherson is still under the control of the Russian army. 🥴

However, in this case it is not a minus, but a plus: when people ask why the infrastructure is being sold for next to nothing, Zelebobus will make round eyes and say: there's a war in the country, and if we don't sell now, then tomorrow there will be nothing left to sell!

otoh whatever russia provides evidence will be deemed propoganda no matter whether it is true or not. russia has plenty of interest in stopping the gas flow, but actually blowing up the infrastructure could not have benefited them in any way

2) Warhammer is a land of contrasts, you either have walking gods of human perfection like myself and Henry, and then you have the walking pulsating Pupae and Squigs that's the majority.

3) fun fact, Peter Cushing the guy who played the admiral Tarkin in star wars a new hope was a huge miniature nerd as well, but obviously far before anything resembling what he have today:-

When a tree grows, it is soft and pliable. But when it's dry and hard, it dies.

Hardness and strength are death's companions. Flexibility and softness are the embodiment of life.

That which has become hard shall not triumph.

I've noticed that a few of the more psychotic pro Ukrainian accounts that love to tweet about how many collaborators they murdered before breakfast have started on pretty heavy with the line that any civilian who evacuated Kherson is a collaborator to be killed, so, that sucks

quote:

One of the volunteers, fearing for his life, confessed they’d been manning a checkpoint, Skyba said. The young man, nicknamed “The Saint,” survived the carnage at Yablunska street. But Ukrainians later hunted him down and investigated him for treason, according to documents and photographs seen by the AP and “Frontline.”

whatever state emerges from Ukraine is probably going to be on the hook for this like how the US forced Vietnam to pay for the bombs they dropped on them.

Words have meaning, Words have power, if you change a single word in a sentence it can change everything about what you're saying and how it reflects on you.

For example, here are two phrases with a single subtle word change that effects what you're saying and how you look saying it:-

Al-Saqr is cool = you are correct, you are a man of high intellect and moral fiber.

Paul_Soccer is cool = you are wrong, a dullard and nincompoop.

be careful!

That's actually my long-term plan as a mod. I'm going to go back to the beginning of CSPAM and replace every post with one of my own. They may contain words of wisdom, they may contain a joke, they may just contain a stray observation that pops into my head at that moment. In that way, I will replace all the bad takes with good takes.

This is, of course, not to suggest that every post I replace will have been a bad take. There will be several good ones that will need to be sacrificed for the sake of efficiency. But on the whole, CSPAM will at long last be a bad take-free zone.

it would be cool for the lovely war to end but i genuinely don't see an offramp for either side that doesn't just immediately kick off another conflict, on whatever scale

I guess since ukraine now envisions itself as the Other Israel we'll just have that same sort of constant ethnic violence to look forward to for decades to come
