I... assume this fishing rod was used to steal it when it was hanging out to dry (possibly stealing an entire group of items at once if we're talking residential space where people hang a whole bunch from a hanging circular thing in their balcony).
I mean, he wasn't using a fishing rod to steal items off the human body, right? Right?
We don't live in an anime do we?

We've always lived in an anime, Koumei. That anime being a cross between Crayon Shin-chan and Violence Jack.

My life has been similar to a harem anime. Except not as fun because monstergirls aren't real.

While I like Monster Musume, and Rachnera, that does seem to be going a little too far...
He jumps like a damned dragoon, and charges into battle fighting rather insane monsters with little more than his bare hands and rather nasty spell effects conjured up solely through knowledge and the local plantlife. He unerringly knows where his goal lies, he breathes underwater and is untroubled by space travel, seems to have no limits to his actual endurance and favors killing his enemies by driving both boots square into their skull. His agility is unmatched, and his strength legendary, able to fling about a turtle shell big enough to contain a man with enough force to barrel down a near endless path of unfortunates.

I'd think it's more likely they're planning to install undersea wiretaps. The US did that back during the Cold War via exploiting "Undersea cable, do not drop anchor here" signs.

Yeah. I don't get why Russia would cut those. That seems to me to be like setting off a nuke in your own country.

I've been an atheist since I was five. And my parents are Orthodox Christians (Russian OC on my mother's side) so that was very awkward.
But the Orthodox are even more old-school than the Roman Catholics are, really taking ritual seriously, like blessing everything hither and yon. The politicians running stuff are explicitly called out for blessings each and every Liturgy. So I guess my irony threshold in regards to ceremonial religious magic is set pretty high. Given that it's Russia we're talking about, they likely have priests in to bless the barracks.
I personally find the idea of devout Christian soldiers to be profoundly ironic, given that Christ pretty much demanded pacifism and actively led by example, but people can swallow all kinds of contradictions.

Actually cutting them seems insane.
But demonstrating the capability to cut them as a show of strength / bluff / international negotiation tactic seems like it could be useful.
"But transportation issues are social-justice issues. The toll of bad transit policies and worse infrastructure—trains and buses that don’t run well and badly serve low-income neighborhoods, vehicular traffic that pollutes the environment and endangers the lives of cyclists and pedestrians—is borne disproportionately by black and brown communities."

Because tumblr is an echo chamber full of sjw idiots that can do nothing but complain and try to make their complaints look like making the world better for the in their eyes slighted?
I mean, when reddit, the slightly tamer version of *-chan is being the reasonable good guy, you know something is wrong . .

While I agree that these people are horrible, using "sjw" unironically makes you sound like an asshole.

Uber paid drivers 75€ to protest in Brussels and gave them fake car keys to turn in to the minister as a "show of good faith". Just business, you guys.
