  • My fridge stopped working correctly, only the freezer part would actually cool. I called the local service company. Tech came when I wasn’t home, told my partner “compressor’s broken, though shit” , took 60€ and left.

    My combination washer dryer has stopped drying. From what I gather it seems like a compressor gas leak, guess what? Too expensive to fix, so I would have to throw away several tens of kilos of machine just because of a fart’s worth of gas.

    I have a Neato robot vacuum which I’ve kept clean and repaired for years, only for fucking Vorwerk, may they go bankrupt tomorrow, to shut down its servers, so now it’s dumb as a rock and next to useless.

    It’s not your mother’s fault for assuming a malfunctioning appliance must be replaced.

    So Russia invaded a North Atlantic proxy with it’s own citizens. Why would it do this?

    Because of Euro Maidan. Ukraine used to be Russia’s puppet, but, and I say as someone who’s actually been there, unlike most people who spew bullshit on Lemmy, they were tired of being poor and victim to corruption, and as such they wanted to move towards the ideal of prosperity and legality they saw in the EU. Was there some manipulation from western (CIA) intelligence? Probably, but that shit doesn’t take where the soil isn’t fertile, and that is the fault of Russia, they should have taken better care of their ally.
    Russia couldn’t stand losing what they saw as their vassal, so they first took Crimea for the port there, and then started messing in Donbas. Then they thought “what the hell, these guys’ armed forces are nothing compared to ours, let’s just go for it!” and made the same stupid mistake most imperialists make, the same mistake the US seems poised to commit with Iran.
