  • Here is what I can find about this mysterious fellow. I was wondering why a Russian was helping Ukraine fight Russia and how a Russian became a Neo-Nazi. He is part of a group of Russians that do oppose Putin and part of a group based in Ukraine called “Russian Volunteer Corps.”

    In 2001, when he was 17, Kapustin’s family moved to Cologne, Germany.[5] According to Der Spiegel, the Kapustin family received a permanent residence permit as Russian Jews. However, asked about her ethnic background and her alleged Jewish origins by the Spiegel journalists, Kapustin’s mother simply described herself as “a Russian woman”

    During his time in Cologne, Kapustin was radicalised and became a well-known far-right figure who was associated with the far-right hooligan

    His reach was limited in 2019 when Germany issued him a Schengen ban, or European-wide ban for “efforts against the liberal democratic constitution”.[8] This also applies to Switzerland.

    If someone wanted to do an actual Nazi takeover of Ukraine, it would be this guy. Calling this guy a double edged sword is an understatement.






  • To be honest, I do see where you are coming from. If we had public transportation as good as our network of roads, people would have incentives to cluster up in the first place.

    Shape defines function and function defines form. In this case that means the public transit would be built near the denser populations which will then cause people to move closer to the transport I on for ease of moving goods. It’s why these other countries look the way they do, they didn’t plan these out 3000 years in advance.





  • This is terrible news. Obviously no one needs to be killed for such a thing.

    Still, I can’t help but thing it’s also ridiculous to draw pictures of Muhammad. No one knows what he looks like. These people just use Islamophobia to post racist caricatures.

    Also, Muslims love their prophet more than most people I know love their mothers. THIS IS NOT TO EXCUSE THEIR BEHAVIOR but seriously Muslims view their prophet like a big brother. Like literally love the guy like family. There’s 2 billion Muslims. You only have to really anger one or two to get attacked. Once again, not an excuse for them. This is murder.






  • The used market is terrible. A used crossover or sedan (Camry sized) from 2019 is like $25000. In 2020, it would have been more like $15000 for that SAME year vehicle.

    New cars are limited to drive prices up. Also, in the US everyone thinks they need a pickup, Wrangler, or Bronco which are ridiculously marked up.

    In 2015 I had a beater I got for $2500 from a third party used car salesman. Those seem to be gone in my area and a beater is now 3x that price.
