Nord Stream is 51% Russian (Gazprom). Not sure if it is NATO territory or international waters. It still becomes a little bit more "muddy" on who could have made it and who benefits from it. Attacking Norway-Poland line at this po

Cyberpunk dystopia realized. It is not so hard to imagine a near future where corporations have much more power than states. Imagine you do something like this in the near future. You are banned from all communications. Alpha corp. reports

Exactly this. People notice this when they have kids and kids start going to kindergarten. I was almost never sick with colds until my kid started going out with other kids. I thought I had a great immunity, it happens I only had good hygie

It worked the same as it worked on personal level too. At the very beginning you can just lock yourself inside and there is basically no chance to get sick. But what then? If you could just lock everybody in the world for a month you could

Exactly this. It requires a special kind of personality + special kind of liver and stamina. All the parties and events and "all nighters" to attend while juggling all the political stuff is no easy thing to do. All of this also r

I am not really sure if there is some hidden agenda in your logics but I think there is. I thought it started to show when you mentioned that Russia being interested in borders of USSR. But then you backtracked from it. > If you join a w

So if you see your neighbor beating his wife you of course say nothing. You are still greeting your neighbor everyday and buying eggs from his chicken farm. If his wife wants to leave, it is completely understandable and acceptable that he

I tried MSFS in VR and it was also much easier because you are somehow much more aware of the surroundings (maybe because you move "camera" around the cockpit so much more). In VR I don't get lost so easily and always have an
