Are the Ukranians not constantly blowing up oil refineries? I guess all those videos must be fake, right? Russia is winning this war easily, that's why it has dragged on forever.
"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Are Ukrainians attacking oil refineries? Yes. Is it affecting Russia's oil refining capacity? To some extent. Enough to create fuel shortages for the average consumer? There is no evidence of that.
You guys have to stop with the black and white thinking, regardless of which side of this conflict you sympathize with. Russian, Ukrainian and Western media all lie. I wouldn't trust the likes of BBC and CNN any more than I would trust Pravda. You have to use your own brain every once in a while instead of blindly accepting everything the "western media" tells you.

Assuming all media is biased, that doesn't have to mean it is all 100% false. If it did, there would be no value at all to any of it. In fact, if you were trying to lead people in a certain direction of thinking...which is the definition of the much-maligned word "propaganda," then the more truths you include, the more effective it is.
I like this guy for entertainment value. I think bias is fine if you don't try to hide it.

Similar thing happened in the U.S. a couple of years go:
Is this a temporary situation or a permanent fuel crisis? I would bet on the former. Russia has a massive amount of oil and dozens of refineries. It is virtually impossible to destroy a refinery with drones. You can do some damage and night time fireball videos sure look impressive. But then it gets repaired and is back online a few days or weeks later.
What I find more interesting than attacks on Russian oil refineries is the fact that the Russians could not knock out Ukraine's electrical grid despite bombing the sh*t out of it for several years now. Goes to show how robust the Soviet-era electrical infrastructure is. One can't help but wonder if the North American grid would be able to withstand the same kind of punishment.
"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

This right here is a city in western Ukraine, Vinnica. You are seeing a steam locomotive. No, it's not historic reenactment. Country does not have diesel and diesel electric locomotives left, most got destroyed. Here is a video https://t.me/s/Kharon_media/5466 and here are some pics
This is the state of the way things are. Date on the video is November 2, 2025.
It's bad.
As far as Russia taking so long to finish it. There is another side of the coin, NATO taking so long to supply this circus. Weapons, mercenaries, advisors. The very moment Russia finishes things in scenario you are thinking, that is the moment Ukraine becomes NATO. The basic idea is to prevent that. Russia is not in the hurry.
That said, situation dictates collapse of Ukrainian war machine, similar to operation Overlord and Barbarossa.
It is already collapsing.

That picture you posted of the drones on the boat was badass. Do the boxes around the drones serve as Faraday cages? How do they open the boxes remotely?
