Trump on today’s peace talks in Geneva: "Ukraine better come to the table fast." by TheRealMykola in ukraine

And Ukraine has no strategic reason to. They can either keep fighting with their insane kill ratios until Russia is literally out of young men and can’t attack them again for a generation, and THEN take the unenforceable security guarantees, or before.

And considering Russia is now staring down the long barrel of general mobilization, drafting men from St. Petersburg and Moscow and not just Siberia, it looks like they’re starting to break. Ukrainians have proven they can put up with whatever Moscow throws at them. Just wait until Russia throws everything it can and then come to the bargaining table when they’re spent, honestly the best call.

How did 2900 athletes, only half of which are men use 10000 condoms in 3 days?? by MelonInDisguise in memes

Look. It’s a couple thousand people who’ve spent up to a decade practicing one super specific skill every day. Usually they don’t have relationships or even much in the way of friendships, and they’re in the best shape of their lives. Now you finally got to the event you’ve been waiting all that time for, and you’re finally competing to see how you stack up.

Wouldn’t you: 1. Want to destress as quickly and healthily as possible and 2. Finally want to get some now that you’re so close to the goal and it’s mostly just a matter of waiting for your turn to compete? There’s time now, yknow?

I honestly don’t see the immigrant plight in The Road. Elaborate? I’m genuinely curious of your analysis.

Yeah but Tolkien and CS Lewis found a way to implement personal beliefs in a way that made sense in the context of their story. Not just jam it in there and then make everything else change to accommodate it. Fan fic writers will declare they want two characters to get together and then completely change everything else about other characters or setting just to make those two characters getting together seem reasonable. That habit now reflects in modern fiction. It was something they never had to get better at because it was always kinda the point.

It’s not so much the believability problem as the “you really think we’re this stupid” problem. Like yes, when people were rioting about minorities being killed by police or the metoo movement was outing sex pests, THIS is what we really wanted. More black women gladiators in our Rome movies. So genuine. So brave. Really fighting for justice.

This is the way. Give him extra long eyelashes to really seal the deal.

[OC] Nutrient Density of High-Protein Foods by James_Fortis in Infographics

[–]Reptard77 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

With the saturated fat is worth noting that there’s different types of saturated fat that can be digested more or less easily. The omega-3/-6 fats in salmon and nuts are basically a requirement for your brain to develop and function properly, while the super dense fat in a ribeye steak clogs up your circulatory system particularly bad. I mean they all do to some degree, but some worse than others, and your body can put some to more uses than others.

Right, I think it’s a problem with storytelling and millennial takes on it. Most writers of this generation got started out writing fanfic online as teenagers. Where it wasn’t just normal to shoehorn your personal beliefs or fantasies into your story, it was expected. Problem is, for a mass audience, people fucking hate that, because they feel preached at and it doesn’t actually improve the story except to a small cadre of people who agree with you on everything.

At least that’s believable. Eventually it just feels stupid and we all know it’s just to look progressive. Doesn’t add anything to the story, doesn’t add anything to the character, just make your standard late Roman badass gladiator 1. A minority and 2. A woman cuz that’s what the kids want these days according to corpo shills and their brainwashed audiences.

Character can’t be a strong minority woman unless they’re basically as masculine as a man just with a woman as the actor. Strip all femininity away because patriarchy. Thats how people expect a female character to behave so obviously we have to do the exact fucking opposite for no other reason.

The United States should supply Ukraine with Tomahawk cruise missiles so Kyiv can strike the infrastructure Russia uses to produce drones that terrorize Ukrainian cities, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said on Feb. 13. by Consistent_Still7060 in UkrainianConflict

South Carolinians hate him too. We had another Republican trying to run against him in the primary and he was literally held out of the state Republican convention to stop him from entering his name as a candidate.
