russia already has been negotiating with US though. If both parties would rather have US mediate the agreement, how does that make either of them not included?
I think the agreement was that US aid renews immediately, but the ceasefire only starts when (if) russia agrees to it. And if it doesn't, I guess that would at least very obviously show which side actually wants peace here. inhales another batch of copium
The books (and ultimately the show) were based on a TTRPG idea, so, yeah, they were kind of the script. Also, you can see some D&D character archetypes show through (looking at you, Jimbo "sad paladin" Holden)
My grandma once told me about a budgie they had back before I was born. It apparently was actively trolling them by mimicking sounds of their doorbell and landline phone.
Don't make a mistake, they know perfectly fine which sounds grab our attention and they will abuse this knowledge.
Thanks for sharing the story! Birds do have a decently sharp sense of smell, despite a widespread factoid of the opposite - plus, the shape of a cat carrier might have been too unfamiliar to it. Parrots are usually very suspicious about anything unfamiliar (new food, toy, etc), but I'm guessing it was also exhausted from being lost outdoors (if it was a pet) so a new bird cage was close enough for it.
Every parrot has a personality, that's for sure! You're a kind person for having helped that bird, I hope that good deed came back (or will come back) to you
Next you'll tell me media isn't the plural of medium.
