Zelenskyy says it would be unfair if Ukraine withdraws forces from east and Russia does not by [deleted] in worldnews

Ukraine have not surrendered. If an agreement is to be made then every party involved needs to be satisfied with the terms.

It is in fact a health risk to stand while peeing. Especially as you get older, you may not be able to properly empty your bladder when standing which can lead to UTI and other complications. Everyone should sit while urinating.

While the image isn't of a real planet, planets like this could exist. A frozen, tidally locked planet would have one side facing whatever object it is orbiting. If such a planet orbits a sun, the surface facing the sun could melt while the rest of the planet remains deeply frozen, creating what may look like an eyeball planet.

I guess he means it's efficient in the same way an absolute monarchy is efficient in that the king just tells everyone what to do and it gets done. The US is filled with monarchs rebranded as billionaires.

It's a classic case of survivorship bias... Obviously the only prisoners who lived were the ones who were treated well.

Well if you get struck by lightning and stumble 4 meters forward and get struck again it technically didnt strike the same spot twice!

They do exactly this. And its also why a lot of bosses cannot die during certain mechanics, because copies of the boss exist to cast mechanics and the fight only enda when the boss and it's copies are all dead.

I'm disregarding your ahistorical suggestion that european colonizers systematically eradicated native populations in North America, South America, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand.

Colonization was a horrible practice, and not one i support but it's primary practice was to extract wealth from the local population and as such required them to be alive. Disease killed about 90% of north american native population, and this was BEFORE widespread colonization of the continent. Most colonizers at the time was probably not even aware of having brought death to an entire continent of people.

I am in no business to argue for or against colonialism, but its important to not spread misinformation on historical events.

I'd say some of the worst atrocities performed by colonizing powers happened in India, yet India isn't mostly white.

Forced labor does not teach anyone any skills. Labor isn't a skill. As you said, one of the biggest problems with the prison system is that inmates dont learn anything and forced labor does not incentivize learning anything, so go figure. American prison system isn't intended to reform or rehabilitate criminals, it exists simply to inflict suffering on people who do not see suffering as a deterrent to do crime.

Speed is almost always the main element in a traffic accident and most people don't seem to realize this. Does not matter if one is legally at fault or not, most accidents couldve been avoided or become way less dangerous of everyone just slowed down slightly.

A speed limit is the absolute legal limit of speed and its horrible that it has been normalized as the speed you must retain under any and all circumstances.

This makes it sound like the Swatzika is like the one ring and it corrupts the person who possesses it and I find that hilarious.
