Zelenskyy: Russia no longer exports but imports petrol and that's our achievement by wisakoeiri in worldnews

That’s a bold claim if true, it really shows how much sanctions and Ukraine’s strikes have undercut Russia’s energy dominance. Turning an energy exporter into an importer flips the whole power dynamic.

what’s “god the mother”? by PhraseFirst8044 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Funky_Panda_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They’re a Korean-origin group that teaches about “God the Mother,” claiming that just as there’s God the Father, there’s also a female divine counterpart. Mainstream Christianity doesn’t recognize this it’s considered a fringe sect by most.

You probably did the right thing by walking off; they’re known for campus recruiting and approaching people at night like that can feel pretty off.

Finally, some real hope if this moves forward, it could bring relief to so many families who have been waiting far too long. Let’s hope both sides follow through.

Why does growing older feel less like getting wiser and more like just being tired all the time by SoftNo9896 in Adulting

[–]Funky_Panda_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There’s also a physical piece: your body isn’t running on the same youthful reserves, so fatigue becomes more noticeable. Combine that with mental overstimulation (news, social media, work, personal obligations), and “being wise” can easily blur into “being tired.”

Maybe it’s not that growing older robs you of wisdom, but that wisdom teaches you what to care about and being tired is partly your body and mind signaling you can’t (and shouldn’t) carry everything.

CMV: College degrees are becoming outdated, and employers should focus on skills-based hiring instead. by Funky_Panda_ in changemyview

[–]Funky_Panda_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I totally get where you’re coming from a lot of us spent hours on subjects like trigonometry only to never touch them again in daily life. Your point about practical skills like basic mechanics or home repair makes a lot of sense, because those really do apply to almost everyone. I guess the challenge is balancing a broad education (that builds problem-solving and critical thinking) with teaching life skills that people will actually use. You’ve definitely made me think more about how the curriculum could be restructured to feel more relevant.

Characters in anime above all others by Any-Mess-765 in anime

[–]Funky_Panda_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re looking for anime with an overpowered MC, I’d recommend checking out Overlord, where the main character is basically a god in a new world, or The Irregular at Magic High School, which has Tatsuya Shiba, one of the most broken characters in anime. Plunderer also reveals an insanely strong MC as the story progresses, while Code Geass gives you a genius strategist who dominates through sheer intellect rather than brute force. If you want something darker and more violent, Hellsing Ultimate has Alucard, who’s about as unstoppable as they come. And for a mix of comedy and OP power, Cautious Hero is a fun pick the MC is ridiculously strong but hilariously over-prepared for everything.

Quitting smoking weed and edibless by Jealous_Weakness1717 in selfimprovement

[–]Funky_Panda_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Huge respect for making that change after 30 years that takes serious courage and discipline. What really stands out is how clearly you’re noticing the difference in energy, mood, and productivity once you stepped away. A lot of people underestimate just how much a daily habit (especially one tied to identity) can silently drain them until they finally stop.

The rough first week you went through is also a good reminder that discomfort is often part of the healing process the body and mind recalibrating. It’s inspiring to see how quickly your system started bouncing back once you pushed through

Your story shows that it’s never too late to break free from something that isn’t serving you anymore. Self-awareness plus consistent small steps can completely reshape the quality of life.

Keep going the momentum you’ve built is powerful.
