they did. although, in the Hangover 2, it was less obvious and less clichéesque

correct, at least not in the same context as shown in the film. sure, you can find some of the stuff if you go out of your way to find it, but in a normal visit ? no.

symptoms are very different and should be easily recognizable from each other by anyone. but then, reading some of the posts here ...

If Apple wanted to show that clip, they should have included a time machine in the plot, bringing the travellers about 40 years back in time. When watching that video, I thought it's very cheesy and a bit unfair to Thailand, showing only old and outdated clichés, but set in present time. An error in taste by the filmmakers.

Russian Tactical Gains vs Russian Attrition

well it's "missing D" you are talking to...

best course of action is wait and see but not telling about the herpes is a red flag

textbook example of the application of the Ruzzian textbook of propaganda, 2024 edition. your superiors must be proud of you. the Olgino location has been closed, where did they transfer to ?

https://yle.fi/a/74-20066206 "a clear majority" doesn't even reflect the reality. Fact is, 80% of Fins support their Nation's joining NATO, which means that nearly everyone except a few nutjobs, Ruzzia-supporters and contrarians is in favour.

they went out with quite a bang

"shelling" comes from translation glitches. various Russian/Ukrainian words describing different kinds of shooting/bombardment are commonly translated with "shelling" in English, for example "obstrel". Imagine being mocked when using a slightly inexact word in a foreign language when describing how your fellow people are wounded and die. Very classy, "thaibeachlovers", very classy.

so ... we should now believe that Trump and Maga are now in favour of a Ukrainian total victory ? this is comedy gold ! how will the Maga base react to a 180° on Ukraine policy ?

yes, that's exactly what he's saying. he's also saying that it's ok because Putin warned about it. and he's also saying that it's ok for Putin to kill Ukrainians because the US killed other people before. and he's saying that we should stop to help Ukraine defend against Putin.

riiiiight. so you rebuff the posted link by saying you have no idea what that media outlet is, supporting the rebuff by saying you even went so far as asking a Finnish friend. So you had nothing at all to post, but posted anyway to dismiss the source... straight out of an instruction book.

we champion for RESISTANCE against an aggressor. YOU champion for war and for rewarding an aggressor, war criminal, etc. you are aiding these criminals and their EVIL plans by helping them fight the propaganda battle on the internet.

I have family in Ukraine and have been there several times since before the Orange Revolution.

ah sorry, you made it sound like your Finnish friend didn't know about Yle. Because even you asked him, you still don't have a clue about what Yle is.

how more ridiculously can you lie ? https://www.statista.com/statistics/633922/tv-channels-in-finland-by-audience-share/

two wrongs don't make a right. W killing a million Iraqis doesn't authorize Putin to invade and kill Ukrainians. Yes, Putin warned about his ... EVIL plans. Imagine someone coming to your home and saying this is my home now, go away or you die... the warning doesn't make it right. and a nation can't just leave. Putin has to be stopped. there have never been any real negotiations between Ukraine and Russia, because Russia insisted on irrealistic terms. Read it here: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2024/06/15/world/europe/ukraine-russia-peace-negotiations.html the price to pay is high, but Ukrainians will eventually be free. the debt will be mostly pardoned and traded against commercial contracts with Western big business. the alternative was Russia stealing Ukrainian resources. he's not just bad. "bad" would be fitting for Lukashenko, Xi or Orban. and Trump. Putin is EVIL he needs to hang from a short rope.

As I wrote earlier, my position on the fake WMD in Iraq is that some people should have gone to prison for that, including W, Rumsfeld, Blair, etc. About Assad, I don't have all the facts. The Russians are not the only ones engaged in cyber war, but the Russian's narrative is an ENEMY narrative and also FACTUALLY WRONG and MORALLY WRONG. So it needs to be eradicated. I am also a proponent of calling out all lies of any side. The most danger at the moment comes from pro-Russian narratives propagated by trolls, useful idiots, traitors, paid operatives and bots.

I'm ok with the removal of any and all accounts of "operatives". All fake accounts of all colors and inclinations, of people pretending to be someone else.

and yet, any character from that visionary movie would still be a better president than Trump.

"Wray: “A Russian government-linked generative AI social media bot farm, where they were posing as, among others, US persons… and trying again to sell various narratives, and in that case, very heavily focus on the war in Ukraine and trying to get everybody turned against each other.” I wonder how many of those we have on this forum.

now if they could also remove the accounts of pro-Russian operatives, that would be braw.

you got me there! I concede I didn't properly listen. sorry.
