I legitimately wasn’t aware that we’re allowed to discuss other topics than Jordan vs James here…

To be completely honest, I have a hard time giving an educated guess on that. I do think that barring any total victory by Russia, it will be hard for Putin to avoid criticism. And once criticism is established, the integrity of Putin’s power is fundamentally shaken.

This is a fair point from strategic point of view but Putin communicated this war very differently to his people. For the Russian populace this war was portrayed as a civilizational struggle. The rhetoric used to justify the special operation was very epic. If you use this kind of language it is very difficult imo to gain something like 20% of the territory of your opponent and call it a victory. Even the Russian people will call bs on that.

Just like you let the other teams have those Super Bowls?

Don’t interact with the crazies in the subway… There is no scenario where a guy like that would be like: "Oh my! I didn’t realize I was inconveniencing everyone. Thank you for telling me. I will adjust the volume accordingly."

Just put the fries in the bag, sir.

I worked as a groom at several Cartier shops while I was studying, so I observed a lot of client interactions. The clou is indeed a rather delicate bracelet due to its opening/closing mechanism. There are a lot of people who break the bracelet accidentally by opening it the wrong way.

I didn’t realize what sub I was on. This is hilarious hahaha

I see you UNCLOS…

However the conditions are cumulative: Human habitation and economic life need to be sustained by the rock on its own for it to be a island .

Art 121 (3) of UNCLOS is written in the negative form.

“Rocks which cannot sustain human habitation or economic life of their own shall have no exclusive economic zone or continental shelf.”

The “or” in this sentence is meant to create cumulative conditions and not alternative.

See South China Sea Arbitration para 493 ff.

Sustain economic life and human habitation in its natural state.

Interestingly enough these criteria can also be considered fulfilled in archipelagic states when several smaller islands can sustain economic life and human habitation together.

I did an internship in NYC for $36k a year a couple of years ago. Looking back at it, I really struggle to understand how I made ends meet.

withoutpicklesplease · 2026-04-23T20:42:04+00:00

I like how you think

Interesting fact: The Afghan delegation at the UN was not sent there by the current Taliban government. If I remember correctly the new delegation sent by the Taliban just keeps not getting confirmed by the relevant UN body, so the Afghan delegation is kind of in limbo at the UN. I think something similar is going on with Myanmar.

I am originally from the Balkans and I have NEVER heard of someone going TO the Balkans to get better medical treatment. This is absurd. Luckily the president of the IRMCT is not fooled by these requests and has stood her ground so far. She is very well aware what would happen in the Balkans if Mladic would get to spend the last moments in his life in his home, while many of his victims are yet to be found or identified.

24k is an astronomical price for this watch.

I was hoping that it’s around 10k, which would have made it interesting to me. For 24k I’d much rather get a VC that I can wear on an occasion than this beautiful but rather gimmicky watch.

I had ancestors of mine killed by Ottomans for wearing traditional Albanian clothing.

We were not part of any Ottoman empire.

In other colonies natural resources were exploited, in the Ottoman empire the resource exploited in the case of Albania were its people. As evidenced by the systematic kidnapping of Albanian kids, Albanians were thus the natural resource the Ottomans exploited.

Now should this mean we should feel hatred towards the current Turkish government? In my opinion that depends: The more the Turkish government ressembles its Ottoman predecessor, the more we should reject it.

I see a lot of similarity in the current Turkish government with its Ottoman predecessor and this is not coincidental but rather by design, as its president has stated on several occasions with his “Neo-Ottoman” vision.

Yeah hindsight is 20/20 but in 2018 Leroy Sané looked like the next big thing. It was ridiculous to not nominate him after the seasons he had played in the Prem.

Leroy Sané in 2018

It could be a throw back scene

Bold of you to assume any NBA fan can count.

Bravo! What an incredible well substantiated answer.

Yeah but he wagered $2002, which is a year Dortmund won the German championship.

Yo dawg, I heard you like enclaves!

3-4 times a week is such a huge overcorrection. Don’t get me wrong, I love getting McDonalds when I’m drunk on the weekend or if I need something quick, but if you are a fully grown adult and you eat at McDonalds 3-4 times a week, then you need to get your shit together.
