We will start to see fat Russians in no time, they are shooting themselves on the foot, this was a missed opportunity for Russians to promote home made food instead of fast food. Processed, high in calories, saturated fat, sugary, and tasteless.
They only made $4 million dollars in China. But globally I would not call it a flop, as you said, the Little Mermaid made $300 millions profit, that is not a flop.
"'The Little Mermaid' could top out in China with as little as $4 million."
I understand, but that has not been my experience with the BBC and other major big news sites, they don't usually pull articles down. Sure there are exceptions, I understand that too, but in my experience I have only seen that very seldom.
I want to see the URL before clicking, it helps me decide whether to click or not.
I realise this is not very popular opinion but this is the way I like it, when you post do it your way, I never complained about anybody archiving links. When I post I will do it my way.
I don´t know the title and I must be honest, I took this from a recent post in China subreddit, the picture links to Reddit. I assumed it could be true because a few Chinese people in the thread confirmed that their country was racist against blacks, but as everything from social networks there is no way to know the allegations for sure, whether this is China or India, or whether this was yesterday or years ago or whether this is photoshopped or not.
It seems fair, if I worked in healthcare I would not want to endanger my life treating a conspiracy theory nutter who refuses the Covid19 vaccine, if he wants to die he better do it alone without making other people sick spreading Covid.
They are going to be using whoever moves there for anti-US & anti-European propaganda, and supporting Russia is also going to mean supporting their main allies, Iran and China, no thank you.
Moving there is like giving up on your own country, it is perfectly possible to build a small community of 200 people in any Western country and keeping free speech which is something you won´t have in Russia, and I am not going to even get started about the living standards in comparison to what you have back at home.
The news are old, from last year, the guy only appears in fake news websites and Emmanuel Macron said long ago that he is vaccinated.

Apparently it is only a temporary shut down.
Parler to be acquired by digital media company Starboard, shut down temporarily
They weren´t just pirating overpriced books, they were pirating everything, including cheap books, and for a profit, pirate websites make a ton of money with advertising, but I totally understand if people on low income pirate things, the problem root however is that nobody should be low waged, it is not the writers fault.
Buying second hand books, just like borrowing them from the library, it is perfectly legal as you know. Nobody complaints about that, writers already got paid the first time.
Unfortunately that is not how it works, obesity is considered and illness all over the World, in the USA, Russia, Somalia, etc, in addition, it is not only about the calories but perhaps even more important que quality of the food, processed food has too much salt, sugars and unnatural elements that in the long term cause diabetes and cancer. Food made in factories can never compete with fruit or food cooked at home, like you actually placing real fish in the oven and cooking it. I mentioned the oven because it is usually healthier than frying.
