I guess you don't watch Russian TV? I'm lucky (or maybe unlucky) enough to speak Russian so I have access. They say much more bombastic things than just these points all the time. They have their own reality distortion field over

Russia's concern is they will not be able to invade former Soviet countries if they join NATO, which gets in the way of their imperial ambitions. NATO is not going to invade Russia.

It's a funny jump of logic a lot of people make. Sometimes people profit off of war, therefore all wars are secretly arranged by a cabal of war profiteers in back room deals. There's lots of variations but there's often a cor

More just that he wouldn't be so stupid. People just listed all the reasons it was a dumb, short-sighted idea. Which, turns out they were right, except about how stupid Russian leadership was. They seem to have honestly believed it wou

This is what all the smart people said about Ukraine prior to the invasion, that it was impossible and would never happen.

I mean, they can still apparently send neverending waves of convicts to rape and pillage, which is worth avoiding.

Nobody in NATO wants to invade Russia and have a nuclear war. 20% of homes there don't even have indoor plumbing. Nobody wants anything from Russia except to not be attacked by them.

I'm not sure what part you are asking me to explain to you? They seem relatively self-explanatory.

That we should take into account that NATO is already 'at their doorstep', regardless of which weapon systems are where, since they can be deployed anywhere later.

If we free ourselves of the bounds of what is technically true, then we can justify nearly anything. I'm not sure it's a productive line of reasoning.

Well, they believe it is, and so do many people in NATO (and many disagree also). I still don't understand what the gist of calling requesting demanding is meant to convey.

By demanding, you mean requesting?

Russia is 28 times larger than Ukraine. They certainly want to benefit from the resources in Ukraine that they're trying to annex (although I'll admit it certainly doesn't look like they are ever going to achieve their goals

The US is taking advantage of a golden strategic opportunity, because why wouldn't they, but it's Russia scoring the own goal here. If they wanted to stop destabilizing themselves they can always leave - the war ends literally the

They are a bit creepy for sure. It's strange to have entered into an adversarial relationship so suddenly, perhaps the company picked up on it and didn't want to get into an even bigger fight with this person (although, they seem

Maybe I've just been unlucky but this seems rather routine for when a company doesn't want to move forward for whatever reason.

You can run a local copy, which I believe is unconnected from anything online. It's what I plan to set up for my daughter.

You can use the local version instead, maybe.

My 7 year old watched it and it clicked quickly, but we also watched a couple example videos on their official YouTube channel. Maybe give that a try. Once it clicked we were able to make some cool stuff together, and she was able to add fe

I suspect even with AIs certain kinds of people will still enjoy creating by hand. Certain kinds of people won't, of course, and that's ok.

It's sort of in the style of what you might find in a luxury catalog, when someone is about to try to sell you something at 60000% markup, but ladled on with a power sprayer.

This is surely a parody or satire, no? The writing is just too spot on to be real.
