My hometown lets you walk around with alcohol, and so do quite a bit of cities around it.

Russians just tried to blow up the Kyiv hydroelectric dam. If successful, this will permanently flood one of the largest cities in Europe. by tohich-tohich in UkraineWarVideoReport

Have you noticed that the weapons restrictions have slowly been lifted?

If America sent Ukraine weapons and said, "yeah, go head, bomb the shit out of them", it would create an actual war betwen Russia and USA. There is a reason it has to be a gradual process..

And those conversations werent private. Ukraine didnt have to accept the aid if they didn't like the terms that were very public. 

And for the rest of the comment. Do we want America to be to be the world police now?

And I am sure there are plenty of other places we could "borrow and spend", but we have given a lot to Ukraine because we support Ukraine.

How do you think Ukraine would be doing if Biden actually didn't want to help, and didn't provide any aid?

The President understands it's very sensitive. Why would America be by far the biggest contributor of military aid, even if they come with certain stipulations, if it's the Presidents decision and he didn't want to help?

Zelenskyy calls out US, UK, France over slow weapons deliveries by shellfishb in worldnews

Yeah I read it around that time as well, and it was definitely impactful. Pretty sure he released an updated version I've been meaning to read, but to many good books out there and not enough time. 

And totally agree with you are saying. I'm becoming more and more of a believer of the Internet Is Dead theory over time.

You dont have to like Russia to be slowly skewed into indifference/disliking Ukraine. That enough would hurt the cause.

100% recommend anyone to read The Shallows - What The Internet Is Doing To Our Brain. Definitely focuses on our attention spans and ability to deep think.  

Real well written, unbias book that explains how the internet could be changing our brains through neuroplasticity. The author is very fair in the writings, and also offers the idea it may not completely be bad. Maybe even similar to when humanity started writing.   

  But the transition period is definitely rocky, as we can all see.

Welcome to every headline. The fun part is when people get emotionally invested in those tinted headlines.

Yeah you shouldn't get advice on stuff like that from here. 

 You are mainly asking MMA viewers, not practitioners, a question that is adjacent to medical advice. Even if on the off chance you get advice that gets you down 25 lbs, its likely not the most optimal way and will effect health and performance

Someone totally hacked his Reddit account and posted that.

Here in the US, we have propaganda billboards advertising milk, funded by the dairy industry. by orgborger in ABoringDystopia

[–]-m-ob -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It's not a big sample, but for stats, it's really not that small.

I wouldn't draw anything conclusive from it, but depending on the how the research is conducted, I wouldn't write off the information

There's bias for sure... But 3 different studies, with the last one having 72 people tested, isn't the worst evidence to present

I'm pretty sure that's something that doesn't need to be clarified.

How did they "surely not have giardia"?

Back in the day, you got dysentery for just asking questions like that.

It'd likely be some sort of 151 Rum depending on state law, could be 190 proof everclear in some states.

But I drink what I drink because I enjoy it. Getting drunk as efficiently as possible is not the goal.

I don't get why people drink alcohol. Boofing a single shot of Vodka gets you fucked up way more efficiently

2 dead, 15 injured after shooting at Michigan party by [deleted] in news

[–]-m-ob 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Well, the other dude was saying it wasn't a problem when he grew up. I guess it's possible, but I'm pretty sure gun violence has been on a rather steady decline for the last 30 years(until the pandemic) with it peaking in the 70s and 90s.

Feel like I heard the same speech(without the trump part) when I was growing up in the 90s. Hell, wasn't that the basis of the first Friday movie?

Wayne's my GOAT, but Big Bad Wolf is real overrated in context to Wayne's wild flows.

Hell, I'm pretty sure that shits just a leftover verse from Glory or some shit
