  • On Thursday, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova dismissed any suggestion of reopening the territorial dispute, which she said had been settled by bilateral agreements more than 15 years ago.

    Strange… I thought Ukraine had similar deals… I wonder what happened to those agreements…?

    Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin said publishing the map was “a routine practice in China’s exercise of sovereignty in accordance with the law.” Wang added: “We hope relevant sides can stay objective and calm, and refrain from overinterpreting the issue.”

    I think the problem is the map is that you can’t over interpret a map. It’s pretty basic and quite clear.

    What people might not get is this is pretty common for the people of China to haggle for everything. They usually will try to start from a position of power and negotiate down.

    They might not understand that they are negotiating with people’s lives though, and people might not appreciate the nuance.



  • These “Moronic articles” places him into the spotlight.

    There is very few things that can be considered an “Annoyance” to rich folk, being in that spotlight is one of them.

    People like Clarence Thomas want to go on vacation and not worry about being recognized in public.

    Being in the spotlight means they have to hire more security, it means background checks, it means more people in your private life, it means always looking over your shoulder because the “media” is everyone with a smart phone nowadays.

    So while I would love to see less topics on Clarence Thomas that doesn’t involve a jail cell. The attention on his shadiness, is the 2nd best for now.









  • Only thing I am seeing on this is that two of Wagner’s private jets were in the air, and one crashed over St. Petersburg while taking off from Moscow.

    The other jet that belongs to him turned around and landed in Moscow airport after losing contact with the first. Which is pretty strange.

    It is assumed that The leader Prigozhin and his 2nd in command were supposedly on board. As Russia state media is claiming they are dead.

    However, Russia State Media has been lying quite a bit though this war, so it has to be taken with a grain of salt.

    As of now 7 10 bodies have been found.

    However, just day’s earlier, Prigozhin was seen in Africa as if “announcing their services” to a developing situation. So why did he suddenly end up in Moscow? The one place he knows he isn’t safe?!

    Edit:
    2:24pm
    Wagner’s media is also claiming they both died.




  • You can tell me I am wrong in any of this and I will apologize immediately. That being said I think there is only one problem here

    It appears the only thing keeping the cookies on the tray was a piece of wax paper and an air cushion. I think something happened to your wax film as it became loose and no longer contained the cookies. Possibly because of heat or condensation.

    If the blot stain on the side is any indication, as it is absent from all other corners of the box. I believe your cookies ended up on their side completely unguarded from any wax film. Just cardboard, cookies, and whatever physics happened between here and there.

    One way I would suggest to fix this is by vacuum sealing them if you wish to avoid this problem again. Though I imagine bakers and logistics experts will give you much better advice then this.






  • I understand your argument coming from someone that sees the implications of something like surgery and sees something barbaric.

    But then I would ask, is it the surgical procedure that bothers you?

    If you could snap your fingers and change genders, is there still harm in this? Would people be more accepting if you could change genders like you could change the profile pic in discord to an anime character?

    Scientifically, we will eventually get there, I know this because that’s progress. How we get there depends on the answer to the questions:

    A. What is causing this?

    Is it possible our archaic way of understanding the brain might be centuries old?

    B. Do we even understand the problem?

    In my opinion, I would say no. We are beginning to, but that isn’t going to happen if we wall off help for these people and treat them like outcasts.

    We also cannot force them into a ideal system: male/female, when the reality is that nature has big flaws that happen at birth:

    • Blindness
    • Deafness
    • Mute
    • Mental deficiencies
    • ADHD
    • Autism
    • Multiple personality disorder
    • Bi-polar disorder
    • psychopathic tendencies
    • Heart deformities
    • Brain deformities
    • Neurological disorders

    I feel like I am reading a medical journal, so I hope I made my point: Nature isn’t perfect, so the cures won’t be either, but at least trans people aren’t killing people in their quest for help, they are just wearing more drag. Which at this point is it’s own art form.
