If you refer to 16th century Kyiv (earliest source in the article), then part of Poland.

Btw, Beef Stroganoff was probably invented by a French guy. Wodka originated in Poland as well.

What’s left is dried fish with Kvass. Bon appetit!

Bigos is originally Polish AFAICT https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bigos

Borscht is originally Polish and/or Ukranian AFAICT https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borscht#History

All three are delicious.

In the future, cars will be so big that we will need a second, smaller car to drive us to the driver’s seat.

Welcome to 2015 I guess?

Name one

Thanks, I’ll check that out. My current perception of the issue is quite the opposite, though: Europe has been in a shock state, not knowing what to do, because they were scared of Russia. Nobody dared confronting them. Ukraine is one exception, and as it turned out, the Russian military (apart from their nukes of course) is a joke. Turkey did that a few years ago as well, when a Russian fighter jet entered their air space for a few seconds and they just shot it down.

My current reading of the situation is that the fear of Russia is more threatening than Russia’s actual power.

What if we collectively start calling it V now?

Europe does take action.

Also, Russia is in no state right now to start a military attack on Europe more than they already do right now (i.e., cutting undersea cables, troll farming and election manipulation etc.). Russia can’t handle Ukraine with half-assed support from Europe/US, how could they handle Ukraine plus the rest of Europe?

They (i.e., the Russian government) are a fucking joke and no threat to anyone.

A two-party system is not necessarily worse than a multy-party system. They both have their flaws. Just as one example, party programs in multi-party systems such as in Germany are not worth the paper they are written on, because after the election the parties will go into negotiations and come up with an entirely different program. With two parties, at least you know what you vote for.

This is a great lecture on the topic with much more depth to it:

No you’re not. You’re just a sad boi.

Thanks for asking bro, here are a few tips:

• try to avoid the Hitlergruß next time you’re on stage
• don’t randomly fire people who do a good job just because you don’t understand what they do
• don’t piggyback on neurodiversity as an excuse for asshole behavior
• try to sincerely say sorry to someone at least once in your life. It feels good and makes you more human!
• go to therapy if you need it, there is no shame in it

Also, at the end of the day, all forms of hurting someone are also physical.

Well, in the end he did physically hurt someone

My personal pet peeve is the golden chest. It’s supposed to drop something great (I mean, it’s golden!), but often only contains random throw weapons.

January and February were added later to push each numbered month to 2 off

The reason for this being that at the beginning of the year, some government officials changed posts, including the ones responsible for the military. March is when the weather becomes nice, so you can go to war again (hence the name). But since March also marked the new year, the people responsible for war management just took office, which was not ideal. So they pushed the two months in to give them some time to prepare before sending out the military everywhere.

Fun times!

Different base population, different set of candidates, different election. Apples and oranges. In comparison, French elections have a sort of “primary” (the actual election) with a follow-up between the two strongest candidates across parties about who becomes the president. The odds there sometimes look quite different from the first round. I mentioned Sanders here because I remembered something fishy was going on during the primaries in 2016 which took Sanders off the board, despite a decent support. But Wikipedia suggests that might have been a Russian spin against Clinton? Hard to tell.

Anyway, my broader point is that you can’t run triangulation politics against fascists. This doesn’t work and political scientists have been pretty clear about that for a long time. Hence both Clinton and Biden were pretty short-sighted and weak strategic choices. The democratic party didn’t stand for anything in the past decade, apart from “not the orange guy”. There needs to be a visionary, authentic alternative people can identify with. I’m not sure such a thing can meaningfully develop top-down from inside the political establishment. I have no solution.

As an outside observer, I think a certain Mr. Sanders could have provided a decent alternative candidate but the democrats decided against him (in a not very democratic way IIRC). Instead, they opted for the flawed political triangulation tactic and took a right politics drift, to their own peril.

Apart from all the other bullshit rightfully called out below, this makes an illogical implication. Being the smart autistic superbrain Melon claims to be, it’s surprising he doesn’t see that. Or maybe not, because in reality he’s just a sad ass who is too scared of just going to therapy.

Then: Being able to call yourself peaceful => Being capable of violence

But not: Being capable of violence => Being able to call yourself peaceful
