  2. Same. Plus, while some of Sam's podcasts are very good (e.g. this one), most don't interest me and therefore I don't see the value in it.

  4. There is nothing provocative about having them there unless you believe those 160 are a threat to the Russian military?

LOL

  6.  @om1701d  That's only if you commit to a full year subscription in USD which I wouldn't. It would cost me $250aud for 12 months.

  10. I'm redirecting what would be Sam's subscription to help support a Ukrainian YouTuber. Not sure what else I can. I feel helpless. But I feel it's a more ethical use of the money given current events.

  11.  @kenadams5504 You're ignoring context. There is a difference between a localised war and a global nuclear exchange, right?
