    "Bidochko added that while these organised movements had carried little weight in parliament in the years that followed, political leaders and oligarchs alike had forged short-lived alliances with militant groups to harass their rivals and protect their own commercial interests. "

  • Getting back into dating and I fell for a married woman wtf
  • Omegamint Omegamint 3w ago 100%

    You seem to have issues with the "ethical" part of non-monagamy. Cheating on your partner (aka, sleeping with other people without their consent), is not ethical. The ethical thing to do is to ask for that consent, and to break it off if you cant get it and you need to be with/sleep with other people.

    Something tells me I shouldn't need to explain this

  • I just wanna say, dipping fries in mayo: It works folks
  • Omegamint Omegamint 4w ago 100%

    I use rice vinegar instead of citrus and add in some honey/sugar. Also add back the msg if the gochujang doesn't have it (a lot of the stuff sold here doesn't have msg, I always have to sift through brands to find one that does)

    Can also add ketchup as well, but it works p well either way

  • What's a good tablet?
  • Omegamint Omegamint 1mo ago 100%

    For awhile MetroPCS had a promo going where if you opened a tablet data line they would give you a galaxy tab a9 (budget Samsung tablet, but newest) for free, just pay 20$ for the first month and drop the line. Doubt that's coming back though...

    Lenovo Xiaoxin Pad Pro is probably a good bet. Likely need to order from China and you'll have to install Google apps yourself if you want that but otherwise a good deal.

    Need help, negative bank account (Update: sorted!)

    Been trying to cover it myself via gig work all day but I don’t think I can make it in time. Still at -75$ and that’ll become double by 9pm pst if I don’t (2.5 hours) Update: removing payment details because I'm good now! Technically got there myself with like 5 minutes to spare (and about 3 dollars), I did notice some folks send me cash so I'm gonna send all that back! Thank you everyone!

    Overdraft (again) (update: thank you!!)

    **Update**: someone here covered me, thank you so much. It really means a lot (and hopefully I can get a new job soon and get a little more stability) Hate to ask here again but I managed to fuck up again this month and overdraft myself, with the main issue that I need to get some gas so I can get to work. Honestly really stupid because I told myself a few months ago when this last happened that I would keep some kind of backup money in cash or something and I didn't/forgot (I really need new work too). Anyways, 10-20$ would probably be enough to get me through if anyone can spare that. If not I'm going to have to pawn something. PayPal: tasufumeredo@gmail.com (I can just use PayPal balance at a station) Also want to reiterate to whomever it was who helped me last time: you literally saved my skin, thank you

    Good now! Ty

    ~~I don't even need that amount covered, I just have no way to fill up on gas right now and really need at least 25-35$ so I can continue to do some gig work to make up the balance. Any amount helps, I think I'll be able to just use PayPal to fill my tank and that'll be enough on its own to keep me working. Can obviously pay people back if they would like that too. Tasufumeredo@gmail.com --- that's my PayPal (don't laugh, it's an old stupid email lol) **Update**: down to my last 30 miles of gas, probably will have to come home at around 15miles left. Please if anyone can spare a little that would help a lot, at least to keep me working for the next few hours~~ Update 2: one of you kind souls sent 20, PayPal let me use a digital debit card and actually fill up with a bit more than that 20$ (lol), so I think I'm good now. Just gotta get up early tomorrow and bang it out. Thanks a ton everyone

    Recently an online game I play revealed much of their changes for the next patch. For the specific content that I like to interact with, it seems like theres a rather large (and probably not intended) change to this content that is not only a big "nerf", but also seems to go against the studio's design philosphy. I've made posts and comments talking about it, but the thing I keep running into is people just downvoting what I'm saying into obscurity. I have people interact and with people that are dismissive I iterate exactly why, which very specific information, its not just some small change... and what I get back is a downvote, and really nothing else. I literally upvote everyone that responds, no matter how antagonistic, simply because I want to talk about it and appreciate the interaction, but it seems like people when confronted with information that makes them feel like they had it wrong just reflexively downvote. Its incredibly infuritating. So yeah, thanks hexbear for doing away with fucking downvotes, this shit seems so toxic and I'm glad I've always relegated reddit into mostly a space where I look up relevant info for whatever hobby, or information about products that I need.

    Step one: buy some wheatgrass seeds (also known as berries). You can find them at pet stores but health-focused grocers will probably sell them two. Step two: get a pot with a drainage hole and some potting soil that drains well. If you want you can just grab some dirt from outside (as long as it's not very clay based) and use whatever pot you have on hand, but better drainage will help prevent over watering Obviously you should have some sort of drip catch on the bottom on the pot if this grass is growing indoors Step three: put the soil in the pot and don't pack it down at all. Lay a heavy amount of seed on the top layer, and then cover the seed with a paper towel. Use a dedicated water bottle with a mister and keep the paper towel lightly moist. 4: Cover your pot with a little towel or whatever you want. The idea is to keep the seeds in the dark while they germinate. Within a few days you should see the seeds sprouting, at which point you remove the paper towel and whatever you are using to block light and continue to mist, but now directly on the seeds. At this point you need to either leave the seeds somewhere with plenty of direct sunlight, or you need to buy a little USB growlight to keep them happy. Do not even think of watering until these sprouts reach 5-6 inches of height, just mist them (more heavily over time if you need) to prevent over watering. If it's above 80f where you live you want them inside. 90f and above will kill them outright. 5: Within a week you should have some very aggressively growing wheatgrass. If you are using a growlight... Congratulations! You can now touch grass right at your desk. Take that you smarmy bastards. NO I WILL NOT LOG OUT, YES I AM TOUCHING GRASS. 6: After about two weeks of growth you may find the grass beginning to look less happy. This probably means that your soil doesn't have enough nutrients. Luckily there's this awesome fertilizer called PISS. That's right, just dilute your piss at a 10:1 ratio with water and you'll be giving all the nitrogen those bad boys need (feed them piss maybe once every two weeks, or dilute 20:1 and give it with every watering). Any fertilizer with a heavy nitrogen amount will do well, and generally anything sold for a lawn that's got most of its nutrition base in nitrogen will be great. Fish emulsion works well too, but will not smell good so yeah... Keep in mind. There you go, now you can touch grass right at the comfort of your desk. Logging off is for smucks. Also, your indoor cat will thank you.
