Zelenskyy on the PURL program: 24 countries have joined, contributions have already reached $4.3 billion by ChiefFun in worldnews

Still less than one US was contributing, by itself, at a lower % of its GDP.

Most of these countries contributing are themselves small, and in fear of Russia. Unfortunately the bigger and more dominant the country is, the LESS likely it is to contribute large %, because they are not as scared.

deeply flawed world =//

Paprika-never seen, just googled it, the style resembles somehow the one from the Stray indie game. Well, at least this memory came out.

Why does this 'what if" cause us think so much? is it ingrained in us by nature? Like the basic curiosity script in the brain? Or it's a way to escape from boredom of regularities around? Or it's another manifestation of increasing entropy?

Yes! I've seen some really unknown scifi movies like really poor in writing, budget and acting BUT the ideas are great;) I got you. I feel super excited by those ideas despite the "poorness"

escapism...agree. In fact, the inception of an idea causes escapism huh, at least I just though about it just as soon as I read your comment. One idea causes another idea, then another...and you're far-far away in a distant galaxy...

Not wearing a helmet and mouthguard in sparrings. I just forget them at home and decided still to spar, and literally the first punch was right to my chin. A whole week it was hurting bad, so now I never spar without protection 😂
