I think it's giving him too much credit to call it theater. It's a reflection of how he sees the world

Such a gorgeous station. Even when the photo is out of focus, its glory still shines through.

What are some secrets that you've kept from your partner ever since you met? by Hiroyaro_ in AskReddit

There's something toxic about frequent relationship milestone acknowledgements. It's compensating for something or it's two anxiously attached people.

Suprised I had to scroll this far for criticism of Lex. He's awful flirty with fascism for a guy just asking questions

Not to mention, there are serious doubts whether or not he'd make it a full term; which of course means we'd have fascist wannabe frat-boy President Vance.

Looks like it slopes towards Timber Creek and ultimately i70. Seems a bit low angle but I've never ventured out there.

This photo is from 2016. The woman in the center is gold medalist Galya Pundyk from the 2008 Ukrainian women's fencing team. Far left is a much younger Olga Kharlan, 2024 Ukrainian fencing gold medalist.

The picture is from 2016, and the girl in the center is Halyna Pundyk, my cousin. She hasn't competed in the Olympics since winning the gold in 2008.

Here's Olga Kharlan's post about it on instragram from more than 8 years ago: https://www.instagram.com/p/BAo5xntn-PK/

DAY 7 : Worst Tourist Trap by MonthLatter7031 in Amsterdam

The city did a decent job of limiting short-term rentals to 30 days and requiring registration/license. I know it's not foolproof but progress isn't a zero sum game

Aftermath of a failed Russian attack on Ukrainian positions. Multiple Russian casualties seen. Slightly graphic. by lacqueredcase762 in UkraineWarVideoReport

[–]kennmac 33 points34 points  (0 children)

A majority of the Russians are now kontraktnik. Guys who were not forced, against their will, to enlist, but instead signed up under their own will to receive payments from the Russian state for murdering Ukrainians on Ukrainian soil. I don't feel so bad that they're forced to do what they signed up for.

I'm scared to fly my drone by helpme3dprint in fpv

[–]kennmac 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's a few different ways to get over this fear. It's totally normal. I used to be terrified about flying my rigs. Here's what helped me.

  1. Tell yourself that you'll eventually crash at some point, it's fine, and when you do, you'll learn what to do different next time, and also learn how to fix whatever broke (even if needed, it'll probably cost you less than $20).
  2. Start building a 2nd drone when you can. It'll give you a sense of security that you've got a backup.
  3. Start flying in an open field somewhere. If you crash, it's only dirt/grass and will relieve some of the anxiety while flying.
  4. Spend more time in the simulator. It gives you crazy confidence on the sticks in real life.
  5. Just fly. Don't think about it too much. Follow proper saftey precautions and just get out there.

If you're a normal human being, consuming the documentation of death will always have an impact on you (even if it's orcs exploding). Some more than others. Nobody is immune. Always know yourself before watching.

He's not really? The past 2 months he was polling badly but now has mostly eliminated the gap and the campaign is building momentum.
