listen we may have lost our family business, made our kids miserable, had to live in a barn with goats and lost $50,000 to a local Russian slumlord, but at least we dont have to see gay people in public

Another family, the Hares, also moved from Abilene, Texas, to Russia to shield their three sons from what they say are harmful elements of American culture.

“It was the promise of a country that would not promote the LGBT agenda. We liked the fact that LGBT is basically outlawed here in official ways,” Leo Hare, 62, told NBC News via a video call from the family’s new home in Ivanovo, Russia.

Russia has strict laws against the “promotion of nontraditional sexual relationships,” which have in practice banned public displays of LGBTQ identity, including wearing or posting the rainbow flag on social media.

They say their initial plan to rent an apartment in Moscow fell through just as they boarded the plane from Texas, and the family spent a bitterly cold winter caring for chickens, horses and rabbits on a farm 70 miles south of Moscow in exchange for free board. At one point, they even had to bring the goats and their newborns inside their cabin to keep the animals from dying.
Leo Hare thought their troubles were over when their landlord's son offered a generous interest rate for investing their $50,000 nest egg in what he described as a car import business. But they only saw one payment before he stopped sending them money and refused to return their money, Leo Hare said.
The couple went to the police and the local court to file complaints about their lost money and with their concerns that they had been swindled, but say they have received no help from law enforcement officials. NBC News contacted Domodedovo police for comment but did not receive a reply.

Yeah. I live in Florida and it seems EVERY HOLIDAY or any excuse to fire them off they do, in the suburbs. There are vets with PTSD, autistic people, cats and dogs that cannot tolerate it. I'm all for personal liberties but only up to the point where your actions are hurting others.

No human ever died from dog barking. Many dogs (and other animals) die every year from fireworks.

One box each. Daft c*nts round here will have some tonight, some Wednesday and some next weekend.

I also can't understand where they are getting the money from for all these in a cost of living crisis. Blowing hundreds on fireworks. Grow up lads.

And don't get me started on the day time morons.

As an owner of a petrified dog. I’d love to see legislation come in banning loud fireworks. Everyone seems to be letting off public fire display fireworks in their back gardens pretty much all year round. It’s bollocks. Bring back Sparklers, Roman candles and Catherine wheels.

Abolish police unions, first of all. Outlaw them. No law enforcement nor elected body should ever be allowed to unionize, period.

Short of doing away with the entire profession, this will never stop until we abolish Qualified Immunity, and take away the law enforcement privileges of any officer who violates the law in the course of their duties.

The amazing thing about the last few days is that people are not saying openly enough what has happened. The Chinese stared the US down and the US blinked. It could represent the end of an era and former US allies in Asia-Pacific had better watch out.

it’s hard to explain how insane the 3 hops thing is. if everyone averages 100 phone contacts in the given time period, 3 hops from you is literally a dataset of 100,000 people.

What the fuck?! MassLive is now using generative "AI" to create articles, which would be bad enough in any context but is especially egregious when publishing allegations that someone committed a crime.

I've been getting back into the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series after many years, and the most relatable part is how everyday objects like doors and elevators have been imbued with artificial intelligence and it just makes them obnoxious and frustrating to use and everyone hates it.

Often feel obligated in 2025 to say these facts I figured out in 2001:

Poor people should be allowed to have nice things

Trans rights are human rights

Evolution is undeniable, the backbone of biology.

People with more money than Smaug's treasure horde are worse for the community than he was.

Just a tip: Install Hard Disk Sentinel (the free version), see if you have a failing drive.

Even if you can't afford to replace it, it helps to have certainty.

They completely destroy the ecosystem. It only takes a single one of them to completely depopulate a massive area of birds and other wildlife.

A single cat will destroy an entire ecosystem, and the crazy thing is that that's under-selling it. Keep your fucking cats indoors.

I know exactly who needs to hear this, but It's OK not to defend Sharia. Protestant law, Catholic law, Jewish law, Buddhist law, and yes, Islamic law - all theocratic systems of law are equally discriminatory and corrupt.
