That was always the obvious argument to be made. Just not sure how true it is with how many people still support Israel.

Why would they say that? It’s been working for decades.

Yea, it’s frustrating. A lot of the times all the excitement I had for the show is gone. And/or I’ve forgotten large parts of the show. And don’t get me started on splitting up the last season into 2-4 parts. I’m looking at you Attack on Titan final season part 2 second movie.

I can’t give a first hand account on this, but my middle aged cousin is one so I can give a second hand account. It’s been a combination of things. She had health problems as a baby and genuinely needed a lot of care and attention for a while. But she has been treated with those kid gloves her entire life. She was never pushed to do anything she didn’t want and also hs never had the drive or ambition to do anything either. She’s never even had any hobbies. And AFAIK, she still lives with her parents and they pay for everything.

It wasn’t until her mid to late 30s that I stopped asking or caring about her life. I still love her but we’re all worried about what’s going to happen when her parents die. Cause none of us are willing to take her in and keep enabling her behavior.

You don’t need to have a job to have value, but you do need something. Sitting on the couch all day isn’t a life. And I say this as a couch potato. Seriously, I’m writing this from my couch.

Yes. I regularly have to either close Firefox or kill the GPU process in it so it’ll free up RAM. Worst I saw it was at 13GB.

We love trying to fix the symptoms rather than the cause.

Trump and immigrants.

Out? Can you check in the back?

I don’t know what the guy commented on; if the issue was about the amounts being reported or the difference between the sides. There’s so much reporting on Russian losses but not much on Ukraine’s. I’d been wondering how they were fairing. Definitely a lot worse comparotively, if the numbers are accurate. Ukraine’s pop is like a quarter of Russia’s.

The media usually reports casualties, not just deaths and MIA. Probably because it makes things look worse, but it’s also useful to know how many people can no longer fight.

Casualties aren’t the same thing as deaths or MIA. Casualties also include injured and those taken out due to sickness.

One of the many reasons I’m not rich.

Now that is some good evidence. Surprising that NATO doesn’t use drones.

I know they aren’t exactly fighting on their own, but it’s also not the same as fighting NATO directly. Somehow you keep missing the point.

Well, that was only being used to reinforce my point. Even if it’s not true, it’s still 4 years into a war with a much smaller country. The rest of comment still stands. Russia would certainly do worse against better armed nations or NATO.

I’m not claiming they are the best solution. Just that they can be useful. Smart thermostat, you don’t have to get up to change the temp, or deal with any small buttons/controls. Smart light bulbs. Again, don’t have to get to turn the lights on or off. They’re are a variety of ways to do this without smart bulbs though.

The list is gonna be similar reasons for most of them. If it’s difficult to get around, anything you can do without having to move can be helpful.

Uhh, damn near all of them. But, that’s an opinion coming from an able bodied person. A lot can be useful for those with mobility issues.

It’s like 4 years into a 3 day “special operation.” What makes you think Russia could do well against better armed nations, let alone NATO.

Can I pay extra to have his picture removed? I would like to be reminded of him as little as possible.

Why would oligarchs want this?
