Hmm, I don’t know… I think it needs more VAG-bell.

People are having kids later in life, and the youngest millennials are only ~29.

Millennials are predominantly the children of Boomers, so that’s why these two generations are basing singled out.

Gen-X were called the a Baby Bust generation for a reason; there aren’t enough of them around in order to swap population metrics compared to what came directly before and after.

To borrow Jeremy Clarkson’s joke - VAG do still also make the Porsche 911!

Ideally, yes - but if you’re a conscript you really don’t have an option of where you are going to get assigned to. If your commander deems you necessary for the front lines - that’s where you’ll go.

The factory manager isn’t going to protect you like some modern-day Schindler, they’ll likely pocket a bribe for turning you over. This is just how things are done in current-day Russia.

Not* from the UK, but I believe it’s a fee to pay for access to FTA television (such as the BBC).

If you can prove you do not have access and do not use (and I believe this also includes the BBC iViewer?!), you can not pay.

At the same time, here in Australia our two equivalent channels (ABC & SBS) are directly funded by the Government, which we pay for indirectly via taxes.

Seems like a more reasonable implementation, IMO.

The Tatarstan Republic reportedly implemented a program in spring 2024 to employ minors aged 14-18 in the defense industry. 

A draft amendment to the legislation on alternative service submitted to Russia's State Duma in June 2024 proposed letting new conscripts choose defense industry work as an alternate to military service.

Only a matter of time before those 14yo get called up to the front lines; more meat for the grinder, all in service to Putin’s delusions of grandeur.

Can someone explain to me how four years into the Biden administration, the USPS is still saddled with that Trump-era turd?

RIP r/fatpeoplehate

Their vitriol was legitimately the motivation I needed to get off my arse and lose ~90lbs and get fit.

For real? Damn, talk about an iconic art style! Do you happen to know which story this is from?

The artwork is giving off serious Asterix and Obeid vibes; do you know where it’s from?
