Let’s not have advertising slogans in posts about products here on Lemmy. Reddit really has that going on if you’re into it.
Some horrors need not be shown in the light of day
The article states that there is no evidence that this is caused by Russia. But then goes on to speculate that it’s caused by Russia. Journalistic standards have fallen.

Would be funny if Boeing started cutting corners with their hitmen, too.
Running out of names for apps? I’ll just borrow from Herpes Simplex… seems catchy.
Someone could build an army of clones of you, launch galactic war, and then you’d be hated all over the galaxy. Assuming you have good genes. Probably they made a bad movie about this.
Apple is also super good with software updates on old hardware.
Except for that time they deliberately slowed down older phones with software updates so people would buy new phones.
Went downstairs and had a cup
Municipal drinking water is tested multiple times per day in Toronto, as it should be. Testing once and assuming the complex machinery and chemical levels are the same a week later is pure folly.
Note that this is different from testing well water, which shouldn’t change much. Testing well water once a year is a good idea though.
Yes, he is essentially pro Western which is why the NED funded the Levada center.
Putin had a meeting with the other candidates yesterday, by the way. I think that opposition is likely kept out of power by various means.
Especially important if the opposition is funded by the UK and US, like Navalny’s Democratic Alternative. Navalny’s highest national polling was 9% with many Russians unaware of who he is. He was a creation of the West, and an unsuccessful one at that.
The Russian communist party functions in Russia’s political scene and gets some significant support from the population, though it is far less popular than Putin. We might consider them to function as controlled opposition.
But Putin himself doesn’t control everything. Just read Medvedev’s scathing speech criticizing him as Putin sat on the stage next to him.
We can criticize their system and say it isn’t a fair system so that’s why Putin is popular. But let’s not pretend he isn’t popular. And let’s not forget that Putin brought Russia out of the economic collapse of the 90s and into the fifth largest economy. He did so by regaining state control of key industries that had been sold off cheaply in the 90s, under the direction of a team of Harvard economists via US NGOs.
Russians appreciate having jobs, housing and food which they didn’t have when the country was sold out in the 90s. They credit Putin with putting the country back on its feet.
The point I’m making is that he is popular in Russia. Ergo, why wouldn’t he get elected? And more specifically, his election result is exactly in line with the US-backed polling company prediction.
As for how he runs the country, whether there are lies, I’m not making a point on that.
We should question the original Western narratives about a stolen election when we can see the evidence of Putin’s popularity. You can read articles in western media that affirm Putin is popular in Russia.
Check the second link. It’s a National endowment for democracy backed polling company. NED was founded by US Congress, has US Congress and State department oversight and funding.
Putin got 87% of the vote and yet in polls he only got 86% support. Definitely rigged.

What if we didn’t even have ads on the internet?
It’s important to follow the laws of the land, otherwise there is damage to the system. Legal framework, electoral framework, political framework. So when answering your question about Putin, the electoral rules and legalities of Russia’s system must be examined. Were they violated?
That is also a question on the US national agenda for Trump. It is important to consider his case in context of the system. And to compare his real estate dealings to others who deal in real estate. What was the severity and nature of the alleged crime? Are these kinds of behaviors common in the American political class?
That’s because you haven’t tried cool ranch yet

Calculator?! Those thieving, energy-sucking piles of garbage! Abacus till I die!
But seriously, AI is insidious in how it data mines us to give us answers, and data mines our questions to build profiles of users. I distrust assurances of anonymity by big data corpos.
