The price of rice is skyrocketing, and it's pushing millions more people towards starvation

  • Without being directly involved, the media / news / social media is the only information anyone has access to if you don't know someone with first hand knowledge and even that is probably anecdotal. So that is unfortunately impossible to avoid.

    There's certainly justification for comparing self serving military actions of the US. It doesn't make it right whoever is doing it. It's hard to see this as directly comparable, but I am sure I don't fully understand the situation so I am hesitant to argue details. But from an uninformed perspective it seems difficult to deny who is the aggressor who could just stop at any time.

    Blame those who start and continue wars. It's not entirely the fault of any one country, but there's only one leader who could put a stop to this latest one.

    Conditions? yeah like that's not just going to inject needed capitol for an extended conflict so they can keep it going at this point. I don't like how tangled up the world is getting in to this mess and I definitely don't like how much it's impacting civilians, but sanctions is clearly not the ONE thing keeping this war going, it was a response to it. It certainly didn't start it and it's clear that some leaders value pride over logic. Money isn't solving that issue (more or less) now that it's started even if it started as a distraction from economic problems. Whatever that leader is telling the people, he's the only one who can end this. We need to end this mess. I'd encourage you to be open minded about what factors are keeping this war going, but I understand that's hazardous in some parts of the world.

  • I've noticed this even when trying to find the name of a song. I used to be able to search:

    lyrics "a specific part of the song I remember" whatever random words I can remember out of order

    and it would very reliably find songs, even obscure ones. Now the only way it works is if I happen to remember part of the name of the song, usually it's full of entries for the same popular song that has one word in the title that I included that is definitely not what I'm looking for.

    It sounds stupid, but I really miss that working.
