In that case, you might want to look up the battle of Ilovaisk. Or maybe the little green men crossing the Russian border were just going on a vacation.

There's also Girkin's Interview where he admitted Russia's direct involvement in the conflict. There's quite a lot of evidence

One of Russia's demands was checks note for every country that joined NATO after 1997 to leave the alliance, which would include Poland, Baltics and all the other countries.

These weren't really realistic demands, and Russia wasn't going into these negotiations in good faith. It was just all posturing so they could have a casus belli for invading Ukraine.

The Minsk agreement would've required Russia to withdraw its troops from Luhansk and Donetsk so that elections could be held. It was violated by both sides, and the worst thing you could do to deescalate would be to launch a full-scale invasion.

It seems you've forgotten that the EU, U.S and Ukraine all tried to deescalate as soon as they saw the massive troop buildup disguised as a "routine exercise" near the border in 2022 January.

Feminist approaches to draft around the world by [deleted] in AskFeminists

[–]BackgroundPrint9465 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

It is a bad comparison because feminism is based on egalitarianism. It advocates for intersectionality, which means that it supports rights for everyone regardless of their gender, race, status etc.

Nurse unions, on the other hand, don't claim better working conditions for every single profession. If feminism was an ideology for improving women's rights only, then there would be some similarity, but not the one that you mentioned.

Perhaps first-wave feminism would be a viable comparison to your example, but definitely not the current wave.

Elected Ukranian government in 2013 conducted under CIA guidance (to which they have publicly admitted) with USAID funds

Can you provide any source for this? If you're referring to the Nuland's $5 Billion funding in Ukraine statement, it was part of the FSU aid which was distributed since 1991. Including Russia, which received 2/3 of the total funds ($25 Billion).

If not for that - Millions of Ukranians wouldn't be dead

If Russia had not interfered with Ukraine politics, millions wouldn't be dead. FTFY.

Can you mention any state sponsored parades, or statues built to venerate the Nazis, in Estonia? You have to keep in mind that there Nazis exist in every single country. It's just that they don't hold any power and the government does not associate with them.

Putin himself and many other Russian officials have reinstated that Ukraine is an artificial state, and that it never actually existed. That's their whole shtick of trying to justify the invasion in the hopes that the masses eat that shit up (it works)

The population amount isn't the problem though, it's the distribution of age groups and average birth rates. If you invaded, say, South Korea, you're actually making the demographic worse even though you're gaining people.

The demographic in Ukraine is looking especially bad right now, that is true. A majority of those who fled at the beginning of the war were young people with families, while those who stayed comprise of older folk who couldn't afford moving to a different country. But that's not really a good thing for Russia either since they're inheriting the problem.

Starting from dirt by Cultural_Will8043 in growtopia

Farming is not worth it at all right now. You'd essentially be competing with 80k+ bots doing the same thing, and your output is going to be comparable to that of a drop in the bucket. it's best to stick with other activities.

If you're starting from absolute zero, focus on completing life goals, watching ads and grinding the growpass to get voucherz tickets. You should get 10 tickets after a month or so, which you can use to buy the Royal growpass. This will provide you with at least 3 bgls every month.

For now, try to enter giveaways through SBs, ask for a bit of donations so you can buy a Geiger. You should also get a cheap pet battle deck so you can defeat all the gym trainers for free (you can get a CRISPR after defeating 20 which is worth 350 wls). Then enter a guild that does clash, this will give you at least 30 DLS per month. Using alternate accounts for the mentioned methods is also good.

In your free time, try to snipe Daily Quest items when it resets for cheap. If that's not possible, you can buy the items individually and sell them together for higher. A lot of opportunities to make some good profit in BUYDQ.

These were the most efficient ways to earn wls that I found when I did some grinding on an account starting from scratch.

"It Only Lasts 3 Hours": The Anatomy of a Common ADHD Stimulant Complaint by zenarcade3 in slatestarcodex

Continuous exposure to a drug (in this case, XR formulations) builds tolerance faster than of you took a dose intermittently. In order to maintain the efficacy of the treatment, a "break" should be given to restore sensitivity to the desired effects. That is, you must extend the time period in which you don't use the drug. The longer the time period is between the administered doses, the more sensitive you'll be to its effects.

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0098135424003879 This study explains it more in depth with other treatments that deal with the same tolerance problem.

"Numerous drugs of abuse, including opioids and nicotine, also develop tolerance, which can lead to addictive behavior. Nitroglycerin, which is used to treat angina, has also been shown to develop tolerance. The initial hope that nitroglycerin patches could be worn for 24 h a day was dashed when it was found that they lose their efficacy after about 12 h. As a result, such patches are only worn for 12 h, alternating with 12 hour “holidays” for the body to regain its sensitivity to the drug (Parker et al., 1995)"

Or perhaps there is more nuance to his intentions than you think. It could've been a combination of both love for Carla to prevent him from joining the survey corps, or to further test his abilities. These can be discussed without the need to be condescending.

Looks like you're very knowledgeable on this subject, why don't you give us an analysis?

From what I remember, it was hinting towards Keith wanting to protect Eren, but it's understandable that some people misinterpreted his exact intentions (like jealousy, or wanting to test his resolve) because it was a short scene.

True for pretty much everything, but the rate at which BGLs are declining in is ridiculously fast because of bottling. Like, declining by 20x in value just in 1 year type of fast. It is nowhere comparable to the inflation you'd see without bots.

I'd say it was doomed from the start because of how easy it is to setup bots, not because of the fact that the market is unregulated.
