I completely agree with you.

I couldn’t agree more. Half the reason I posted it was the aggressive title; I was curious to see what would happen, and it was precisely what I expected heh. The other half of the reason was that I really did think it was an interesting ar

Yes. I literally collect different honey (including from my own hives) and my love of it is very strong. And no, I don’t have diabetes yet. I’m not insane about it, but I do have it frequently.

Some people find excuses anywhere they look. But we shouldn’t stigmatize those who don’t on behalf of those who do; the vast majority of people are not that way, which is why they stand out when they are, imho. And it is more important to n

That referendum occurred after the annexation, and with Russian forces at each of the polls. It had a 97% approval. In other news, Putin is totally a democratically-elected President, and not at all corrupt.

The government takes a cut then too, both from the employer and employer, in the form of taxes.

They still exist. You just don’t hear about them in the news, because good news doesn’t sell ads.

Crimea is Russian-occupied Ukrainian land. There’s not much of a dispute, in that it is exclusively Russia who claims it as part of Russia; Belarus doesn’t count, as it may as well just be a puppet state at this point. The rest of the world

Yes. I, too, learned this the painful way. I had many friends, or so I thought. Then I got cut out of a volleyball friend group because I was too “intense” (aka talked about things that weren’t the weather) for them. Okay. That hurt a lot.

It can both be normal (in that it’s common) and painful at the same time. And you can and should still absolutely cut them out of your life. Let them have each other. There’s a reason misery loves company.
