He’ll be shocked about how he ended up looking like a bathroom wall. Maybe a nice light beige/yellow-brown, which is the color of natural rubber?

Could be part of a prosthetic maybe? Google picture search has a lot of suggestions but no clear answers.

This is really about habits. I used to be a night owl, but changed my habits gradually and now I’m a morning person. You might have some genetic predisposition towards staying up late, but even so this is something that you can change, I believe.

What helped me, is that I started enjoying waking up early a lot more than staying up late.

I believe that to be true. The frontlines were not well established yet towards the end of 2022 so a push to take back Melitupol would have been possible if they had all the equipment that they used for their push in June 2023. But by then the Russians had dug in and mined the entire frontline and that push (predictably) failed and was abandoned as it would be too costly in lives to continue.

That would have cut the land bridge, which in turn would have enabled the Ukrainians to make Crimea an untenable position (no land bridge, closer to the Kerch strait bridge).

So yes, having the necessary equipment before the Russians were dug in would’ve made a massive difference imo. Not saying they would have retaken it, but their odds would have been a lot more favourable.

I was at one of the smaller protests. It’s important to keep these going to have an existing platform for protests for when the government inevitably makes some more pro-Russian moves that galvanize society. Just as the smaller protests last year laid the groundwork for the current protests.

If you think of this as an acted out comedy play, it is pretty funny.

It’s not a surprise anymore when every medical is 3000% inflated by default

I wanted to get back to you on this to thank you for the sources. Much appreciated.

Get used to it. The US isn’t just shooting itself in the foot, it’s creating a ball pit full of mines and jumping in head first.

Do you have any sources I can read up on? This is the first I hear of this.

Especially because he has always been a staunch atlanticist with a ton of connections in the US. That and the fact this comes from Germany, the most pro-US country, barring the UK, in Europe, gives his words extra gravitas.

I don’t know about Hungary, but when it comes to Slovakia Fico is hardly representative of the wider society. There have been massive protests against him and his ilk ever since he somehow managed to squirm his way back into power. Slovak society is basically 50/50 split between the EU leaning urban centers and the Russia leaning villages (very crudely put, it’s obviously more complicated). But the main reason for the anti EU-stance of Fico is very basic: corruption. Thankfully there is little chance of Slovakia turning into an Orban style illiberal democracy because there is not enough support for it within society. Orban had an absolute majority in parliament for over a decade, Ficos Smer, even combined with its offshoot Hlas, doesn’t come close to that. They’re only in power because they allied themselves with the extreme right. Their powerbase is also slowly crumbling as their vote share amongst the younger generations (45 and younger) is minimal. Slovakia will be ok, but it still has to shed some demons from the past first, which is an ongoing process.

After that he can tackle the weasel outbreak in the white house.

Vader being woke as shit. Expect an executive order to ban Star Wars.

I actually didn’t quite remember the reason, so I checked it. The rounding is one main reason and the fact it is so heavy it requires a drivers license for trucks, as well as basically no demand. So no build quality requirements failed, but definitely safety related.

There’s a reason why the EU won’t allow the sale of cybertrucks and it all has to do with build quality and safety.

Our tabby cat doesn’t even try to go for plausible deniability and goes straight for a mouthful of cat leg, preferably when the other cat is chilling.

I laughed way too hard at this. Thanks for brightening my day

Preferably before and not after a peace deal.
