It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
I genuinely wish a brazen bull upon every “person” who uses orc unironically.
That's zoomed in pretty far, hard to make out meaningful trends from that, gee I wonder why
no, you don't get it, russians are for sure making economic decisions on the basis of websites they cannot access because of sanctions and whose trending algorithms work on a per-country basis
I don't know what you mean, this method of analysis has worked wonders for Superstonk
They're learning from Paul Krugman that you can just misrepresent whatever a graph says by claiming the opposite of whatever the fuck the data says, and as long as you lock your replies to your sycophants, nobody will call you on it
Also love the number of bots today. Looks like the NATO propaganda division has been allocated a lot of funds yesterday.
china sent more drone to russia? it's ok, we're sending more posters over

That's a lot of UKKKrop bots
Be fair, there are a lot of people who would just skim that and see 'line go down' and assume it was bad for Russia lmao
Russians don’t pay attention to western propaganda being written in English. The only ones reading this are members of the NAFO circlejerk.
i would assume this was a bit except the people who claim to understand The Economy the most seem to be the dumbest bozos in the room about the fundamentals most of the time.
"My dollar buys less rubles now than it did 2 hours ago, that must mean the ruble is weakening"
is truly the big think of an incredible mind.
I am very stupid - how does that graph show that the Ruble is getting stronger?
Value went from 91 rubles/usd to 85
Please explain it like I'm dumb lol that doesn't seem like it's getting stronger to me
Oh wait I think I get it ty
1 dollar used to be exchangeable for 91 rubles
now 1 dollar can only be exchanged for 85 rubles
this means the dollar is inflating faster than the ruble
and possibly that the ruble is deflating (though that part I am not sure of)
Previously, Russians could use their 91 rubles to buy a dollar. Now they can buy a dollar AND have 6 rubles left over, because the dollar only costs 85. This means the ruble can buy more dollars, so it's becoming stronger.
it's not you, the graph is just unlabeled
