Just saw an article on it today, suddenly they are saying he had covid and long covid, tested positive for covid, etc. And whereas before everyone who say him that day said he looked fine and chipper and healthy, now suddenly 'new audio' from 'sources,' are saying he said he didn't feel well.. https://sports.yahoo.com/audio-reveals-bob-saget-suffered-171800151.html
Even wiki agrees that the donbas peeps wanted to leave even before the Russians helped them. QUality of living drastically plummeted when they left the soviet union and Ukraine has been considered by many to be one of the most corrupt countries on earth, the people of donbas wanted to steer their own course vs having the corrupt oligarchs get most of the money. Ukraine has only been its own country for about 30 years, 8 of which donbas has been trying to leave but even before that, tensions were rising almost form the start of the country. It was a country cobbled together of ethnically not matching groups of people who ended up not getting along, so yes I do think Donbas should be allowed to leave. And if Texas voted to leave the USA, I would say to allow them to do that too. Maybe just read the wiki on 'war in donbas' or like any other history of the situation there, before saying you have doubts, this is not secret knowledge. And the areas along the border of donbas and the rest of ukraine were indeed pretty much a wasteland even before Russia invaded. You can read a decent explanation of the issues here: https://greekreporter.com/2022/02/22/history-donbas-donetsk-luhansk/
This question just goes to show how sadly simplistic the mainstream narrative has become. If you only listen to 'the news' these days, you end up barely knowing a thing. The tldr is that 8 yeas ago, two areas in the donbas tried to leave the ukraine and the western govt at that time wouldn't let them so a fight broke out between the donbas and the rest of the country. Ukraine has been shelling that territory for 8 years now and Russia has been aiding that same territory. What you see this year is the culmination of an 8 year feud.
The last info I saw is they did not know what was causing the pain so they were probably just trying things to see if it worked. Still no news on the cause though.
They bombed Russian civilians in Donbas for 8 years, that counts as provocation.
Yes I think that's it. They froze trucker bank accounts and now are stealing private property of russians, they are trying to normalize theft from anyone that does not kowtow to the narrative.
Only in insane clown world is this a threat against Uighurs. smh.
The only saving grace is they only really enforce that bs hard on subs they don't like that are larger. If you have a smaller sub that is not on the hit list for your topic and perform decent modding, you don't hear from them, probably mostly because they do not have resources to micromanage a million subs.
Ok so those mods may well be compromised for all I know, in fact I find it likely just because it's reddit. Also reddit interprets it's TOS loosely if they don't like your sub and you can bet reddit does not like r/conspiracy. But reddit is also in a bit of a bind because they can't easily ban all talk of conspiracy which is wide ranging and has been a basic subject topic on the internet since the internet was created. If they banned that sub, there would be and probably already are 100s of replacements. People would just go from the main sub to all those. If reddit tried to ban all those, ti would make a bigger Orwellian looking splash than they'd probably like. Reddit's other solution would be to heavily threaten and/or compromise the existing sub as much as possible . So I would not be surprised if the sub's mods are either shilling for reddit or they are under pressure to be very very strict.
Also from my own experience as a mod, we typically just don't have enough life force to dig through hours of conversation that happened a month ago and explain every nuance of our thought process to you, especially if it was from another mod. It also does happen that other mods make decisions that I would not make. There are a lot of situations that are a grey area on enforcement. It's very hard to find mods that are not giant axxholes but also can tolerate the constant barrage of threats and insults and occasional stalkings that come from being a mod, all while not even getting paid. So I can't really nitpick every decision if I slightly disagree on something or I'd have to do that whole job myself. And I also can't tell you what exact nuance of rules or narrative you could or could not get away in the future across all moderators. We try to have an overall agreement with what is and is not allowed but each one of us has a unique brain that interprets things.
There are even times when I am feeling crabby late at night and am more of an axxhole and then in the morning I think about how I should have handled something better. There are also LOTS AND LOTS of times when I try to be really patient explaining things to complaining people only to eventually get shxt on and insulted and threatened anyway if they don't get or hear what they want. This is why experienced mods typically won't give you a long conversation, the decision is done, we are not going to risk a fight with other mods over a nuance and we know from experience that 9 out of 10 times, the person will just curse us in the end anyway, even if we spend 2 hours of our unpaid time trying to address their issue.
Certainly it's not a perfect system and I apologize to the universe for any wrong decisions I have made and toes i have stepped on over the years as mod but the reality is that these days a much larger percentage of users are somewhere between difficult to deal with and bat shxt freaking insane and there is just a limit as to how much time a mod has to spend on one person's complaint when there are 20 other issues a day that also need to be dealt with. So maybe think about a bit of compassion for mods too.
Do you think swisscows is any good?
Ok still confused, why would it be bad to have a moral sense? Were we meant to be amoral? Is it bad that our eyes would be opened? If this is God, would he not know that the serpent would tempt us and that we'd eat? Was this a trap for us to screw up? And if they didn't die, then he was lying, if they did die, then how did they procreate? I mean this could be explained by more spiritual new age teachings but it does not make sense the way bible priests are currently trying to explain it.
"If someone turned up and offered an imitation of eternal life how many will take it? " Yes, I think a lot would, especially if they market it as taking away pain, anxiety, ill health, etc too. Maybe they will say they could control brain neurotransmitters to prevent depression, etc, in fact they've already started in with that one. I remember when i was a kid, the tv told me to strive for certain things to be happy but then when I got those things, there were always more things it told me I'd need. Happiness was a carrot on a stick and i was running on a treadmill but finally I realized their route does not lead where they claim it does, in fact it mostly leads the opposite way. And having wandered so far in the wrong direction, it's slow and painful to find my way back. But many have not even realized that subterfuge yet and I fear for them. If they are promised a magic fixit solution, many will likely go for it despite this reality's track record of failures in that department.
Thanx yeah wow, certainly it is one sided but she's well spoken and I'd love to see if Arnold could come up with a good comeback for that one!
The Crimean people need water, cutting off the water just hurts the residents that most. Crimea also contains a lot of Russians naturally, so I don't think it's safe to say that a lot of them were not in favor of Ukraine, also considering eastern Ukrainians have complained that their utility bills were higher than the average income and in a place that gets really cold, it's hard to live without heat. Crimeans have said that Russian costs are livable and Russia has made basic upgrades to roads and infrastructure, unlike ukraine. I suspect it's just a matter of them being Russian and Ukraine being a worse shxthole than Russia. Anyway would suggest although it's wise to distrust Russia, you should not blindly trust western propaganda either, often the truth is in the middle someplace.
Video is no longer there, do you have it on one of the better video forums? Linking good video on youtube often means your link will be broken very soon.
That is a diff can of worms, maybe we are not being told the truth about the early modern humans? However I have long been confused why eating of the fruit of knowledge would be a bad thing, so we were supposed to be dumb? Also kids learn about the concept of nakedness from their parent as the grow, it seems to be cultural on the one hand, but then on the flip side, it's nearly universal in one form or another so that's a bit weird too. You can see in some tribes where it's very hot, they wear close to nothing and nakedness is not as big a deal but that seems to be the exception to the rule.
"They will long to die, but death will flee from them." I am suspicious this may be something to do with transhumanism. Normally you get old and die but what if something blocks that and/or you get downloaded into an electronic existence and can't die or evolve? If you get stuck on the blockchain or some such, maybe it becomes impossible to die.
Interesting so Putin tried and failed, just goes to show this only moves forward if the common citizens allow it. Russians lack of respect for the law and govt probably aided in no small part by a hard life also making a lot of them less wimpy and less easily scared than other countries, meant they could not stream roll over them with tactics that worked in Australia and Canada. Russian peeps may have too much experience balancing risk/benefit analysis in order to survive and way way less trust in their media than other countries, this means it's harder to bs them. And they have less of a culture of doing tons of stuff just for politeness so that tactic won't go far either.
Yep, I think that's why Zelenskyy is saying no to the fairly reasonable peace demands of Russia. Russia already has crimea, and Ukraine has been bombing donbas for 8 years and donbas wants to leave, what is to be gained by refusing to let them go? Does Zelenskyy prefer to just keep bombing them for another 8 years instead? Donbas is not useful at all as long as it stays in open rebellion and after 8 years, I doubt they will suddenly decide to want to be part of Ukraine again. So Zelenskyy is prolonging this cuz he has a big fat ego or what? I mean he has declared martial law and ended legislative function and banned all opposing political parties and has banned independent media so it's not like he is listening to other opinions at this point. Of course if this is all NWO plans, it makes sense they'd drag it on longer. Russian may trying to just look like less of a bad guy with the peace proposal knowing Zelenskyy won't or cant' take it.
This guy's biting but controlled dry humor is hilarious even when I don't agree with him!
Luckily we only have to get people to stage 4, don't try to push for stage 5, it will backfire! Also, LOL on that first image! ;-P
Once i heard Chris Christie survived it, I figured i could too!
This is stupid, I doubt Putin or his military as using Node, this just hurts Russian citizens who already have a hard life. We should keep a black list of platforms coming out as antifreedom, including duckduckgo .
While grossly condescending and self righteous, this is not the worst article I've seen. First of all,, they admit they were wrong about a number of things for 2 paragraphs, which is not the norm. Second of all, they do have a point that SOME on the right just blindly follow their own cause without admitting any of THEIR mistakes. some really are just being contrarian to dems. What the article gets wrong is almost no dems will admit or even discuss the mistakes claimed for the dems in this article either. Ie the knife cuts both ways. This one person in an article admitting the dems made some mistakes is almost the only place you'll find a dem admitting a mistake. The dems are as a whole just as unwilling to admit their mistakes and just as eager to point out the mistakes of the other side. This article is like the pot calling the kettle black.
Showed up to where? I am confused.
