Couldn’t agree more with the author, which in my opinion is shared among all major specialists of the region. Minsk II is the only diplomatic solution. Sadly, as the article states, it’d be political suicide to any Ukrainian leader who impl

This is one of the reasons why I agree with the theory that Japan’s capitulation was only because the Soviets did not renew their non aggression pact.

I’m already expecting the same protocol used for covid crisis (fear, restrictions, fines, divisiveness) will be once again applied for the impending climate crisis.

Why first time in history? Iraqi WMD? From Fox to NYT, all supported the invasion. Steele Dossier? All major media outlets (except Fox and OANN) supported its claims and took Russiagate as fact.

What I find even more frustrating is that even your average retail broker is more knowledgeable, relatively speaking, than their crypto counterpart (not that crypto’s inherent dark forest helps).

consult another expert and hope his heurestics are different from the latter, ad infinitum (or you yourself end up creating a meta-heurestic of their heurestics)!

I’ve tried reading “How to Win Friends” and all I kept thinking was how it completely would never apply to a person such as myself.

I like the spin where it isn’t OAS that’s the issue, but how the WT mRNA vaccine was so spectacular, that upgraded shots were never needed to begin with. I haven’t seen the study, but how would naive omicron variant vaccinees fare? I believ

I can’t understand this dichotomy. Just because one is vaccinated, does not mean they are pro-mandates.

Let them grief. All you can do is assist them on their daily chores as much as possible: cleaning, groceries, taking care of pets.

Reading this article feels like science experiment on a global scale was run. And that too was a conspiracy theory, once.

Maybe having lost his anonymity post NYT doxxing had a chilling effect on him? Even having someone else express their opinions through his platform might still lead to “guilty by association”.

I’m here really hoping this is just Ms. Psaki’s personal opinion and not that of Administration, that somehow transpired during a briefing.

I just don’t understand the need for fact checkers in an age of instant access to information. Anyone who wants to stick to their priors, can. Anyone who wants to delegate has an array of choices to choose from. And those who want (and have

We need a return of dumb. From appliances to code. It’s so strange how this behavior has now become “elitist”.

It’s malice when the CDC again and again lied that natural immunity to covid was inferior to naive vaccine immunity, even cherry picking data to prove their point. Only recently after dozens and dozens of papers having had refuted their nar

Personally the CDC’s greatest sin was their narrative push against natural immunity. And sadly it was repeated as infinitum by the media. One paper with an incredibly misleading title and another so problematic that one can only wonder how

I always liked the stick shift versus automatic for drivers ed analogy. Yet in an era where inclusiveness and student retention are deemed more important than foundational learning, its no wonder Python is getting mass adoption.

Just because one is vaccinated does not mean they support mandates. Many were forcibly vaccinated, never having an option. This is a false dichotomy that since 90% are vaccinated, 90% approve vaccine mandates.

Sorry for being cynical, but you can only sell fear if you also have the solution, otherwise all you have is panic.

The ultimatum they placed on US/NATO last month was unattainable from the start (block Ukraine/Georgia from ascension, no NATO expansion, roll back Eastern Europe front). It certainly gave fodder both sides to trump up propaganda
