Of course the sanctions are hitting the pockets of the citizens of Russia, but that was not the point I was making. I was saying that there are a lot of Russians not living in Russia, some of whom are currently the victims of the current wa

I'm not picking up on your implications, what are you trying to say?

Hurting the Russian nation state through financial and technological sanctions is one thing. Vilifying Russian culture or the Russian people is more slanted towards fascism--the same thing the Russian government is doing in Ukraine towards

Boycotting cultural works unrelated to this war crosses in the territory of fascism for me, so there is not much making of mind that I have to do.

Russian literature has been a mainstay among western audiences for the last hundred years. Works like Punishment and Crime, War and Peace, Anna Karenina are widely known across the world.

Replacing obesity with malnutrition will still leave you unhealthy but with different health problems. Also hormone imbalance isn't unscientific. It has been widely been studied that women will have their periods change timing when mal

Adopting a diet that deprives an overweight person of necessary vitamins and nutrients will not improve their health but will deteriorate it as now alongside all of the health problems they had their body can't function properly. Adopt

I wasn't arguing that being overweight is healthy. I was just saying that losing weight will lead to bad health if the way you lose weight is by depriving yourself of nutrients needed for your body to function properly. Potatoes lack a

Excuse me then, we were discussing semantics vs legality. My point was that by dishonest the DNC was corrupt as by the dictionary definition of corrupt: "having or showing a willingness to act dishonestly in return for money or persona

Yes, the people weigh on elections and they make their choice. But if they make their choice according to a party that claims honesty yet betrays that honesty with lies, isn't that an issue with the party being corrupt and the people b

I'm not denying that, but if the DNC claims that it is unbiased in this race, yet by actions isn't, isn't that lying?

Please explain which part of my post led you to believe that? That is not my belief nor the point of my post. I am only stating that the way the NewYorker looks at this is not the same how some other people look at it. Also I'm not fro

I'm not saying this is anything new, just pointing out that this is called corruption. If the party claimed that they are in-fact biased against Bernie, as the evidence mostly shows, then this would have been fine. However, if the part

I'm sorry, but this seems to me like you are advocating a point. of: "The peasants don't know what is good for them, the party will decide for them." This would have been fine the DNC came out and said that this is what

If that bias leads to action, as shown in [0] of my earlier post, then isn't that corruption? EDIT: punctuation correction.

Didn't they clearly show bias from the DNC against Bernie? [0] This also resulted in the DNC apologizing to Bernie. [1] And did it not result in the DNC chair CEO, CFO, and Communication Director resigning? [2] With actual email proof,

Why do you think fear of death is the only thing that motivates them? Have you considered other motives, like joy of live?

I respect that. After all, whatever we do in life the end result will be the same. So not doing what you want is truly a waste, even if it seems irresponsible to society. I'm a polar opposite from you. I enjoy working and actual feel d

Excuse me for asking, but how do you expect then to pay the rent, that is already sky high, or service your car and pay for gas, or even buy basic necessities? Genuinely curios.

Dark mode is actually bad for your eyes as it causes more strain. Reading white letters on a black back ground is harder than reading black letters on a white background. F.lux and similar software are a better alternative as they just incr
