    I like the idea of Ukraine being absorbed into Wendy's Twitter. They're just going to be another brand trying to get empty attention by posting smuglord replies to other treat companies. It will be a perfect fusion of war and capitalism in the dumbest possible way.

      I hate how cyberpunk everything is getting. We could at least get the cool neon cityscape aesthetics with it or something.

          Cyberpunk fiction had it so backwards. The neon places are good. The evil places are all bland, uninspired architecture because every building is made just to sell later. That's why places like Pizza Hut stopped making identifiable buildings, because no one was buying them.

          They had it backwards with food too. The books all predicted evil capitalist hell food would be bland goo paste without flavor, instead it's all overly sweet corn syrup and 400g of sodium.

            I will eat bland goo paste every day if it's cheap, nutritious, has no health downsides, and ethically sourced(vegan).

            When I was a kid I thought that neon cities looked cool, I want to live there, and the bad cities are grey, cold, and even the rich people have shaded, vampire apartments.

    I mean... How else are you supposed to respond to something as stupid as Ukraine's post?

      Somehow I never doubted that the Russian government is reactionary

    Unless this was a while ago I don't think this is real

    The Russia account also looks like it's a museum-tier account where they just show a bunch of natural and man made cool shit from Russia

      Yeah, I don't think the Russian tweet is real. It seems like they didn't even bother to use dev tools to edit the HTML and instead edited an image based on the distorted text of "organization", smh.
