My (we’re Russian) mom always said it was because true cowboys know that if you take them off a scorpion could crawl in, so better safe than sorry

might have something to do with being a (former) colonial empire and having a habit of looking down on other cultures. I’m Russian and we have the same problem
Yeah point 1 is why I support a peace deal along current lines, maybe with a dmz with UN peacekeepers or something idk. Ukraine is the one getting invaded, they need time to breathe far more than Russia does.
Even if you think Russia can’t be trusted and will invade again a few years of peace is better than ceaseless war
Somehow missile flight time to St Petersburg (also happens to be where I’m from) weren’t an existential threat that lead to an invasion back when Finland joined NATO. Maybe there’s some other factor?
That just sounds like a saturnalia
I’m biased but I thought it was pretty clear with portraying Truman as an unambiguously bad guy and Oppenheimer as decent but failing at a critical moment and then regretting it later
That entire process still needs lots of cash up front does it not?
That situation (apple and Google as sole gatekeepers) is fucked up and should change with the new eu open markets legislation.
you can’t opt out of bsky’s own moderation if you want to use bluesky pbllc’s infrastructure
The last two weren’t ever true
this mentality made me doubt and question and delay for too long so i try to push back on it when i see it. You don’t actually need to have always “known” or “shown signs”. If you feel like experimenting you can just try it.
The boomers ARE the unshaven hippies tho. People born in the 40s and entering public life in the 60s-70s
the greatest trick the capitalists ever pulled etc etc
I thought the most ironclad proof was the retroreflectors we installed there.

We even already had one when Trump tried to ban (force a sale) tiktok by executive order, it should be open and shut
it’s a mirror of “Cuba is a strong ally in the West, let’s let them have nukes. What could go wrong”
And we even made a whole movie about Kessler syndrome :|
Despite this, they don’t believe tiktok’s assurances that the CCP doesn’t actually have ready access to the data. However the only evidence they’ve presented is testimony from a former employee.
“People” in an authoritarian police state are not going to get organized until a) they have no other choice and b) the elites have no will left to fight them.
It’s the same pattern everywhere. Russia is worse than usual because its economy is lopsided towards exporting raw materials so the elite class is smaller/less diverse than usual.
