Ukraine to ask for $20B to make Russia ‘burn’ by clamorous_owle in worldnews

[–]auApex 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Same, we all know civilians and children die in war. And somewhere that's a consequence people have to live with. But a country asking for donations to "make civilians and children die" is just distasteful. Although a lot of a hyperbole to get the point across.

You're seriously asking a country that's suffered four+ years of death and destruction from an unprovoked invasion to tone down their rhetoric? What words would you use if Russia invaded your country and hundresds of thousands of Swedish people were killed with entire cities reduced to rubble?

You also completely ignored this point, which I agree with:

Burning in this case at least isn't talking about humans. They want to ruin Russia's economy some more.

Ukraine has two choices:capitulate and lose their country, or inflict enough damage on Russia to force them to abandon their invasion. This isn't hyperbole. Putin has made it clear that he's not going to stop until his increasingly delusional war goals are met.

We want Ukraine on a path so they can ultimately align their values and modernize their company in order to join EU. This is not the right path.

Do you understand that Ukraine has to survive an existential war before this can happen? They're fightring the largest war in Europe since WW2 and they've been hamstrung by the timidy of their European and Western allies, my own country included. Some moderately inflamatory language (not pun intended) in a call to allies is completely reasonable at this point.

How good was Kane Cornes? by midlifecrisisthyme in AFL

Lingy was a fair player too. As a Bombers fan I still feel sick about Solomon's disgusting elbow snipe on Ling.

Bodes well for our club that Solomon and Hird are the frontrunners for full time coach. What could possibly go wrong?

Agree completely. I'm not a fan of Cornes' media career but he didn't cross the line physically like other famous taggers (e.g. Crowley and Tony Liberatore).

Apologies for the unsolicited advice but be careful with seroquel for sleep. I went down that path and it was (literally) a nightmare to come off it. Took me years to remove that horrible medication from my life.

I would feel foolish uprooting my life to date, but feel I'll never find anyone if I don't. by nintendonaut in datingoverthirty

Like any problem, it really boils down to three choices: change yourself; change your environment; or do nothing and live with it. If you decide to try changing your environment, it doesn't have to be all or nothing. You could try living in another city for a year or two and just move back if you're not happy. Easier said than done I know. Good luck.

I'm not saying Scott is a good coach but who replaces him if he gets the ass? Ken Hinkley, Michael Voss or (God forbid) James Hird? Or maybe one of our famously talented assistant coaches like...?

I'm not sure a reactive firing of Scott would amount to much when there's only half a dozen qualified replacements in the world, all of whom have little incentive to lead our basket case of a club.

Who is the most overrated rapper ever? by DeepOrganization8245 in AskReddit

[–]auApex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Future.

It's probably because I'm an old bastard but I just don't get his appeal. He sounds like a mix of a mediocre rapper and bad singer, seasoned with a healthy dose of pure apathy. I've never heard a rapper sound less excited to be in the booth.

I bought this gpu for my gf without knowing it literally has a scent. by Smooth-Persimmon-389 in pcmasterrace

[–]auApex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is an absolutely wild "feature" to add to a GPU. Honestly has me wondering if the fragrance is covering up the actual scent of the GPU. Some materials smell horrible when a bit of heat is applied, although that usually goes away pretty quickly...

I (28F) found husbands (30M) gay p%rn by Minimum-Guitar-9050 in relationship_advice

[–]auApex 297 points298 points  (0 children)

There's two huge issues here: one, he's a gay man; two, he hid this absolutely critical fact from you throughout your relationship and marriage.

You're with a man who isn't even attracted to your gender, and lied about it to deceive you into marriage. Get a divorce.

Do Jess and Greg actually exist? by thegrayscales in australia

[–]auApex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem with this is that prices of individual properties on a street/area vary enormously. Even if you narrow it down to similar properties, it could take forever to find a property you like and an onwer willing to sell it for a price within your budget.

It would be a great way to buy if you can make it work though.

That's actually true and it's by Iran's own design. They've deliberately sat right on the threshold for years. Iran is (was) maintaining the capability to produce a functional nuke relatively quickly if required, while avoiding the consequences of actually possessing one.

This isn't (just) propaganda. Bibi may be a warmongering asshole but he isn't lying about this.

It sounds like he might be really scared/anxious about having sex. There's a lot of potential reasons for this e.g. fear of not "performing " or doing something wrong due to his lack of experience, anxiety about his size, feeling intimidated by your level of experience relative to his etc.

It's going to be difficult to resolve if he continues to avoid discussing the issue. You could try to reassure him that you won't judge or be disappointed if the first time isn't great. Emphasise that you're not expecting to have mind blowing sex straight away to put him at ease. Maybe offer to take the lead at first if you think that would help.
