/u/outwrangle before everything went to shit in 2020, /u/emma_lazarus for a while after that, now I’m all queermunist!

You mean how they keep forgiving billions of dollars in loans that they’re using to build infrastructure and industrial capacity?
How terrible!
Contest that with the IMF, which bleeds countries dry until they have to auction off all their state assets and impose brutal austerity onto the people in order to repay their loans.
African and South American countries with lithium and cobalt deposits, pay attention!
Preserve your vital fluids. Don’t let them fool you!
Or ‘game’ for the millennial crowd.
Yes not everyone gets this evidently! There’s a large subset of the population that is sickened by the tannins on the tea, but evidently y’all can just chug that shit and be fine? Wild.
Yeah some people are more sensitive - it’s the tannins that do it.
I’m fine if the tea has a splash of creamer or something, but straight black tea makes me puke lol
Tea, but no one mentioned the huge drawback that needs to be said.
Do not drink black tea on an empty stomach. It causes nauseation and you might throw up. I know I always do.
Herbal teas are safe tho
Not exactly, they can mind control you into being happy your boss steals your wages tho
The moderate position between medical science and ideology is still nonsense.
Puberty is life altering. My body was permanently changed by testosterone in ways that I can never fix and now I have to live the rest of my life with those scars.

Deeply unserious. 😔
Another boneheaded triangulation move from Biden. Stop giving ground to the enemy. All they do is use your compromise as a starting point to force further compromise. Give them nothing.
Interesting. How about a counter-offer? Russia gets the fuck off the Ukraine, pays reparations, and maybe in a decade or so of being nice the rest of the world starts trading with them.
The rest of the world is trading with them. It’s just the NATO bloc that has cut them off, which is now bifurcating the global economy. It’s one of the main reasons for inflation all throughout the West, because our currencies are now not being used by a growing segment of the world economy.
Your counteroffer isn’t happening and if we keep this up things will only get worse. We can’t dictate terms. We have to negotiate.
Ukraine has/had an imperfect government, that doesn’t mean they deserve to be invaded.
Ukraine had a pro-Western revolution/coup that removed Russian allies and replaced them with NATO allies. It doesn’t matter if they “deserve” to be invaded (I don’t think they deserved it, for the record), Russia merely did what was in it’s geopolitical interests.
Fuck Putin and fuck his supporters and fuck anyone who both sides this crap.
Deeply unserious. 😔
They’ll have no choice but to go into the mountains and become guerilla fighters.
Zelenski wants guns and bullets. What do the People want? Do Crimeans want the US to give Ukraine more guns and bullets? Or do they not count for some reason?
Your “compromise” is letting the mugger only take half of your wallet.
People aren’t property, you don’t get to keep them just because you own them. They have self determination.
Are you currently in Crimea? Other parts of Ukraine? Is this really your call?
No, it’s theirs, which is why I want them to have a choice! I’m the one that wants to let them choose whether they join Russia or stay with Ukraine. You’re the one that wants to hold them against their will if they truly want to leave.
I’d be comfortable with allowing them to do what they want. Why do you not want the same?
Here’s a hint: I think a peace deal to end the war in Ukraine should involve a new referendum organized and monitored by an impartial body (so not one picked by either Russia or NATO) before I was comfortable with Crimea or other parts of Eastern Ukraine joining Russia.
It’s a good compromise because it leaves everyone unhappy.
