There isn't a single front really, and the importance of Robotyne is its proximity to Tokmak, which is really in its supply line value. Major rail networks pass through it. By taking Robotyne they have proximity to start shelling Tokmak which is heavily fortified on all sides. I don't know where Russia would be pushing back to retake it, but guessing instead they are falling behind the second line of defenses and doubling down in holding Tokmak. If that one falls to Ukraine, then we're talking about cutting off supplies from Melitopol down through Crimea. They'd be in position to essentially squeeze Russia out over time.

Kamala Harris sucks. Does anyone really consider Harris a POTUS contender besides maybe herself? She's stiff and boring as a figurehead, and infuriating when I remember how she built most of her career. I sincerely hope she just goes away by 2028.

The US has never pretended to be a pure democracy. It's a representative republic. A truly democratic system would work fairly poorly in most places.

Russia, probably.

It's not a honeypot. It's a genuine company. I am not sure if what they do is actually helping anyone but to my knowledge the treatments are pretty expensive.

Yeah I get a lot of those as well. Anxiety, ADHD, and autism stuff mostly. I keep shooting down the ads as I suffer from none of these things. No idea why it keeps pushing that crap.

Yeah I just get fed with bullshit on ADHD and Autism nonstop.

This is a thing that isn't happening, at least not among Gen Z. What a bullshit article.

You think the average human can just "choose" whatever life they want? Just get up one day and be like, "you know what? I'm going to save up for a horse and buggy." That's not a possibility for the vast majority of people. Go to the YouTube channels featuring people who HAVE made that switch in life and it's usually people who had a lot of money, time, and independence before they made the decision.

I know you probably have very decent intentions when you say this, but the lack of depth in consideration around how much actual freedom of movement people have is just really frustrating that it borders on victim blaming. Most people simply cannot do what you're making sound like it's a choice like flipping a light switch. It's not.

Even making simple changes in lifestyle can be challenging. What is up and down? A well educated person might still be confused as we had decades of a recycling industry that was basically non-existent, corporate interests intentionally confusing, and a whole corner of the public discourse outright lying to people about reality. It's extremely challenging and often very expensive to choose the more environmentally conscious items when buying food and basic needs. Most people don't have public transit options, can't afford an EV, or don't even have access to better options for what they buy either way.

This problem is way more complicated than you're making it and the fact yours is a common position on social media is extremely tiring. It's also just a lazy take that is akin to yelling at traffic while you yourself are part of it. So I hope you at least counted yourself when you made that comment.

To his son at a rate 30x from it's actual market value.

For news and financial information absolutely.

We have to go back to a world where we remember that "news" is not analysis. It's meant as black and white reporting of events as they are happening or happened. I'm not sure the specifics of this forum, but they are best kept separate.

The biggest takeaway for me was the timeline of his career, which made me realize the dude is only 44. I don't know why, but I always pictured him as being much older. Perhaps that electrician job really took a toll on him.

The article mentions confrontation with Russian forces in Crimea, so nothing that can't be shared at this point.

The Constitution itself would suggest he's already barred from running. I am just hoping someone takes this up and actually challenges it in the courts well ahead of time. Disqualification comes the moment you're even brought to trial on sedition charges. This was incorporated language following the Civil War as there otherwise would have been too many people to disqualify individually through the litigation process ahead of future elections.

This article does a good job explaining this provision within the 14th Amendment: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/08/10/us/trump-jan-6-insurrection-conservatives.html

Well the nuclear part is right so at least there's that.

The airplane itself mysteriously fell out of a window.

You don't personally get to change the definition for something in your own head and then get mad at everyone else for not going along with your interpretation. That's not how reality works and all you're doing in the process is just pissing people off.

Yeah this is the worst kind of example of behavior. A person who is themselves extremely offensive towards others but sees themselves as a beacon of moral superiority. It's actually borderline dangerous and I feel like more and more people are bevaving like this.
