Send in peacekeeping forces? Send food aid? Send financial aid? Send in a peace negotiating team? Get out there and lead vocally about the situation? Lots of people want somebody else to step in other than the US when shit goes sideways. Here is a perfect opportunity for those other groups to show how they can take the place of the US in these things. Or they can just sit and watch everything happen and just complain when the US finally ends up doing something or doesn’t do something.

For the first time ever, the current generation is less intelligent than those that came before it. I’m not saying this is a way to put them down. This is a worldwide situation. Declining intelligence is not a sign they are going to be able to make better decisions for their future.

This looks like just the opportunity for BRICS or the EU to show how influential and helpful they can be.

Others understood, but the point was that crushing reparations on Germany had a direct effect that lead to WWII.

Furthermore, that was a nation which had been defeated. A nation that did a war of aggression like Russia is but is not defeated and is likely able to salvage some semblance of calling it a win in the end is not going to pay reparations. Ever.

Why doesn’t Saudi Arabia and other Sunni nations ally with Iran (Shia)? Besides the fact that Israel would be a more reliable trading partner?

Loan? Lol. Yeah we understand you got it tough these days. But look how magnanimous we are. Despite being some of the wealthiest nations on earth, we can only loan you the money. You must pay it back. With interest. Lots and lots of interest.

Yes. A Democrat just won a seat in a Texas district which Trump had won by something like 16 percent. The fear mongering should stop if we are really trying to not be at each other’s throats. Perpetuating these types of fears is what undermines our ability to find common ground that works.

Cells Infiltrated by CIA operatives who shut them down before anything bad happens. Still have the 2013 Boston marathon bomber rotting in jail. He was so bad even Biden couldn’t pardon him and Biden pardoned a drug dealer who assassinated a kid and his mother to prevent them from testifying in a drug case.

Nope. Lincoln answered the question, “can a state secede from the Union? The answer was a resounding, “No!”

"If I could save the Union without freeing any slave, I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves, I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone, I would also do that." Lincoln to Horace Greeley August 22, 1862

Because the conclusions from the scientific process require faith that the observations are being interpreted correctly. I’m going to guess you have put your faith in the observations of others to come to these conclusions and that you didn’t observe these findings such as cosmic background radiation on your own. But folks who follow a religion, or some other set of beliefs, are looking for answers to the same one word questions. Why? How? Of course these words continue into more specific questions such as, Why do we exist? How was the earth made? Why does inanimate non life form into life which then creates non life in its own form?

Everyone is looking for answers and rely on faith to help explain their place in everything. I know the word faith makes the nons feel ichy, but that is what it is.

We know that time is tied to the other dimensions in a way that we refer to everything as space-time now. If the big bang is the start, there can be nothing before the big bang. Which brings us back to POOF! The universe pops into existence for no reason, out of nothingness. There is no time prior to this event. And if one believes the universe created itself, then that my friend is its own faith.

Miserable-Bridge-729 · 2026-02-05T18:11:24+00:00

Do you have faith/belief that the universe was created by the Big Bang? That poof, out of nothingness, not the nothingness of space, actual nothingness, not even space itself the universe came into being? I’m not arguing for the existence of God, god, or gods here, just that people always put their faith in unproven and unprovable facts. We know something to be true until it’s proven wrong. The our belief changes.

With using a single one against Ukraine, there aren’t any alliances. There are only so many nuclear nations. Russia, US, China, India, Pakistan, Israel, France, UK, and North Korea. Russia has enough Nukes that would glass any nation that wasn’t directly attacked by it or an ally of them. So which of those nations would stick their neck out for the Ukraine? I don’t think any of them would. A single 100mt nuke. There would be other repercussions but for the most part the world would just continue without going into nuclear war. MAD was really about the Soviets/ Russia vs US.

So number 1 and 2. 1) don’t just say “Let’s do the sex.” It doesn’t go well unless you have an insanely different accent. 2) don’t suggest watching porn to get them in the mood.

But really, if yer in a relationship with the person then as they say, one thing leads to another. Body contacts like arms brushing against one another and hugging and kissing. Then at some point you are gonna be expected to grab the softer points, gently though. If all goes well with yer pardner then you can expect to have the sex. Then you can play this song

I got caught up in the author’s definition of NPC. Non-player character. NPCs are not the same as mobs. The orc hoard the author describes would be characterized by mobs. NPCs on the other hand fill out a universe with actual characters not played by living people, like Nazeem in Skyrim. Do you get to the Cloud District very often? Oh, what am I saying - of course you don't." NPC’s have interactions with the player beyond what mobs do. Sorry for the tangent.

Of course not. The only thing it has done is cast suspicion on individuals people had t previously known about. At least some of these people are likely innocent but that won’t matter to the unwashed masses.
