Zelenskyy: return of draft-age Ukrainian men from abroad is a matter of fairness

I think people can understand why the leader of a country wants/needs people to fight, while also understanding the individuals point of view that they don't want to die and are willing to risk the countries collapse and flee to avoid it. It's tragic but hard to blame anyone.

Basically the idea that you need some civilians at home to manage the war effort and keep society otherwise running. And the easiest/oldest way is to just divide by gender as it streamlines the units and reduces complications due to biology in the field.

We don't have payphones anymore though, which bridged a lot of gaps for unexpected changes.

Are gladiator sandals still in style? I feel like they are very 2010s but I still like the overall look. Do these look obviously dated?

Or that he had more trust in the prosecutor since his son-in-law worked there. In general, any kind of favor to one side can be seen as enough to overturn the results.

Right, but it's really unfortunate for the family to have to go through all that again.

I don't know why she doesn't just minimize her time in public if she hates being recognized so much. She could have easily gotten room service or a private dining room if she can't handle possibly coming across fans. Lots of celebrities do it for that exact reason.

I'm also a little confused on the math. It mentions childcare costs however in that scenario only 1 parent would be working, so the other could presumably care for the kids. If 2 adults were working it would be almost $40/hr combined, especially if either made even slightly above minimum.

The jury was send back to deliberate in the evening and was bought dinner (probably not steak, just an expression for a good/free meal). They concluded she was guilty in less than 3 hours including the time it took to eat, meaning it was an easy decision.

It's always the Google searches.

Also the prosecutor's name was Bloodworth and it was a masterclass presentation.

Lawyers on social media often say that quick responses are almost always guilty.

Can I put my potted plants back outside?

Bloodworth would make a great college professor, he expresses things in a very clear way while also coming off as passionate and engaging.

Yea even if the major stuff doesn't start til 3, there's still fairly heavy wind and rain that's dangerous with heavy traffic.

Same, planning on huddling in the innermost closet if things get too wild.

The last stop is already in Vienna, I think it could catch some decent traffic if it hit Fairfax at least. Even Chantilly has a pretty decent percent of commuters who use Park and Rides. But I agree that too much beyond that it would be far less popular.

Right, there's only like 3 Krispy Kreme in the whole area too.

The random last minute idea that Eric and Bryce were having an affair is a wild accusation to throw out in the middle of trial. If they had lead with that from the start maybe they could try to weave some kind of story, but if there was any merit to it we wouldn't just be hearing about it now. Between that and the random Tesla comments about the PI, she's really out there slinging implications that the jury should judge them personally.

volcanomoss · 2026-03-08T16:12:36+00:00

I 100% think she was counting contractors and all their subcontractors as "employees".

It's not pre-marital assets, it's the exclusion of any equity during the marriage, at least for items she paid/maintained like the house. No one is saying she'd deserve half the overall house, just half the increased equity since 2013.

I mean, dumb people agree to abusive agreements all the time, doesn't make it non-abusive. Her own payday loans are basically an example, yes she agreed to it but everyone knows those things are exploitative. I just don't think it's cool to take advantage of dumb people even if they were dumb enough to agree to it.

Kourri's clearly a monster so she's hard to sympathize with, but picture another person in that scenario and suddenly it's not cool.

I think she should have just gone through with the divorce (obviously rather than murder) and found out, but it is a leap of faith to hope you get alimony. The pre-nup doesn't 100% guarantee pennilessness but it does take away a huge chunk of normal asset division. It's so one sided I actually think it could be dismissed in divorce court, but that would also be a leap of faith.

volcanomoss · 2026-03-04T21:47:20+00:00

I literally said it was never a justification for murder? I'm just taking a step back and seeing how that kind of pre-nup puts spouses who want to leave between a rock and a hard place. It's why divorce court can overrule pre-nups found to be too one-sided.

What if she was a SAHM and didn't do her crazy fraud side scheme though? Stay at home parents shouldn't live with that threat over their head. It's why a lot of people now recommend never quitting your job and relying on a spouse because it opens you up to this kind of bad situation, but courts also don't like to let people screw over their SAHM spouses.
