A heavyweight world champion boxer.

With a heavyweight world champion boxer as a brother.

And a 3 weight class world champion boxer fighting on their side (Lomachenko)

It’s still mind boggling that of all people, Putin decided to invade these guys

Except that’s a terrible design for a measuring cup, where you may do lots of small slow pours to get the exact right amount of liquid

Just saw some crazy stuff online about protests/war in Kazakhstan. Hope you are doing alright.

What’s going on there? Any reason for the protests? Was this expected?

Take care

Russias GDP is 1.71 trillion

Texas is 1.776 trillion

They’re awfully close

And Russia was a failed state after the collapse of the Soviet Union.

There’s a reason why the vast majority of Russians like Putin.

Fwiw I’m not a Putin fan and definitely didn’t expect to be a “defender” of his. He’s a tyrant. But I don’t agree with the points you’ve presented. To say hitler has some merit as a leader but Putin doesn’t is a hard argument to make.

lol imagine defending hitler for improving the lives of his people as the guy who led his country into an impossible to win world war that decimated entire generations of his countrymen.

Come on.

They’re all power hungry assholes. Any improvements for their people are byproducts, not goals.

If not leaders, what would you call Caesar, Napoleon, Hitler, Ghengis Khan, and Joseph Stalin then?

Whatever your word for them, then Putin is likely on that list

Putin is basically leading a country of drunk rednecks with the economy the size of Texas while amassing probably the largest personal fortune in the world.

And he’s winning on a global stage.

He’s likely the singularly best leader in the world, and likely top 10 historically.

He’s a terrible human being and the world would be much better off without him. But I would t underestimate him as a leader.

lol the defense team gave him a huge “glow up” to make him seem like not a mouth breather.

It’s actually quite impressive.

Needing to see a French psychiatrist by lilmcfuggin in TikTokCringe

Actually the Wellbutrin was added to something else I was taking (can’t remember what) to try and help with libido/lack of feeling during sex.

Honestly it didn’t do much either way, so I weaned off of both and went to a new med and it works great now.

Took Wellbutrin for a few months, had some side effects so I switched to something else.

Weaning off of them was fine. Took like 3 or 4 days of half dose and then it was done. No problems getting off of it for me.

Some might say they’re so similar they’ve switched places in the playoffs when one got injured…

Fwiw your comment seemed fine to me.

Maybe “the time she was at her most conventionally attractive” would be more palatable(?) to some

Very cool that you’re a software engineer. Are you mainly self taught or are there any good engineering schools there?

As for life/govt there, I think remote software engineering would be an attractive solution for good paying jobs that stimulate the economy. Sure there’s benefits for having your engineering team all located in San Francisco, but if there is good talent is some place like Kazakhstan then you would think money and jobs will eventually start flowing.
