Russia is basically in an unending economic crisis since 1990.

That’s the same strategy EU practiced. Now they are getting boomeranged.

Come on, slap tariffs on European goods.

For first several months the war was extremely unpopular, but sanctions and discrimination against Russians did orders of magnitude more to make people think of the West as the enemy than the dumb state propaganda.

Unhinged bullshit like this did more to make people support Putin than any propaganda he could spit.

Crassus would be proud.

Ukraine held the upper hand for about three-four months in summer-autumn of 2022.

I was born.

Kinda sus that this research appeared when EU began switching back to coal.

Lmao, is this ДМБ reference?

Who counts as a journalist?

Graeber in Debt has made an interesting point that honor historically meant an ability to reduce freedom of other people.

Well, militias regularly shoot at American bases and Iraqi government does nothing about it, so it can probably be considered an unspoken permission.

AI chatbots should be near I Ching divination.

Ancient Greeks considered men fuckable too.

The fake is of far greater value. In its deliberate attempt to be real, it’s more real than the real thing.

Sea anemones are relatives of the jellyfish. They have these tiny hairs growing on them that they use to feed by stunning fish, shrimp, zooplankton, and so on.

But they can survive for years without food. They’re like jellyfish in that way. There are even sea anemones that have lived longer than 70 years with the proper care.

They’re found all throughout the world’s oceans, and they can slowly move too. There are also fish that live inside them called anemonefish. The sea anemones protect them from predators and share their food scraps.

In tropical waters, sea anemones latch on to coral reefs or rocks.

Starfish are echinoderms and relatives of the sea urchin. There are as many as 2,000 starfish species around the world. Not all of them are star-shaped either. There’s even a species with 30 arms.

When they get attacked by a predator, they’ll rip off their own arm to get away while the predator eats it. Their arms can regenerate, so I guess they regrow later.

Starfish can eat almost anything in the ocean. They feed by pushing their stomach out of their mouth and directly digesting their prey. Fun fact, there’s an area in Kumamoto Prefecture where they eat starfish. As you’d expect from a relative of the sea urchin, you strip the skin to eat the insides, like with sea urchins.

Even in other languages, starfish mostly have star-related names. For instance, in France they’re called…

China has aggressively put itself close to NATO bases!

I guess they are trying to achieve the possibility of a decisive first strike for USA.

The point is not whether it should, the point is that it definitely is the primary factor.
