Hard pass

Still a whooooole lot of (justifiably) hard feelings, especially when you consider that China was just kind of off its own universe until ‘76, so had some catch up to do in processing stuff like Japanese diplomatic relations.

Either way, good that this is now in place - nobody is expecting sunshine and lollipops between the two nations, but good to have a non-nuclear escape hatch in place.

My family used to have a patch with maybe 30 plants in like 4 sqm of our small out-of-town garden plot. We had so many strawberries! We'd bring home buckets at a time and make jams for winter. It was great.

Now I buy maybe 1kg / year because they are so expensive. After the experience of growing our own food some 25 years ago, I can't justify the current prices at all. Unfortunately, I currently suck at gardening on my balcony, but it's a learning process.

I guess what I'm saying is... We humans don't actually need all that much.

They have a tough life. I agree they need help since they are young; but they will be shocked when they hit the real world. Life’s not gentle or fair.

Count me out

So just "i feel so its real". Just stop.

Steak and lobster day!

This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 94%. (I'm a bot)

> The last time Wall Street Journal staff heard from Evan Gershkovich was Wednesday, just before 4 p.m., when he had arrived at a steakhouse in the Russian city of Yekaterinburg.

> At 10:35 a.m. Thursday morning Moscow time, an item from Russia's state news agency said Mr. Gershkovich had been detained and accused of espionage by the Federal Security Bureau, the successor to the KGB. It was the first time Russia had brought a spy case against an overseas reporter since the Cold War.

> Mr. Gershkovich's jailing challenges the bedrock notion that American reporters, authors, and researchers could work in Russia to learn about the vast and complicated country and its escalating conflict with the West.

I'm not saying Zelenksy is a tyrant...

Is he guitly of war-crimes... who knows?He's been named in the Panama papers despite being anti-corruption. So who knows the truth. Maybe war crimes will come out in the future too.I don't think anyone was saying Thaci was guilty of war crimes at the time, otherwise there would've been more of an uproar from the western media when NATO bombed Belgrade, bombing hospitals and killing civilians, just to back a war criminal as Kosovo's first prime minister.

At once, my liege.

I feel very sorry for him. I hope that he will be released

Is it common for Western reporters who write scathing critiques of Putin and Russia to hang out in Russia?

Especially since Russia is currently engaging in an active war

Still, we in the USA literally stabbed Iran in the back under twice-impeached criminal defendant Donald Trump, so it’s pretty rich to talk about invading them. Best to stick to targeted sanctions and humanitarian aid to dissidents and refugees.

"Foreign journalist can carry carry on working in Russia"... until we arrest them.

Insane in the Bahrain. Went insane got no Bahrain

Perhaps, but at the same time, kids are bombarded by social media, "relatable" yet almost engineered influencers, impossible beauty standards, fear of no future, and so on. A breakup may just be the straw that breaks the camel's back.

Is there any way for him to be released? What options does the journal have to get him back?

If Russia is targeting journalists for political reasons, does this mean journalists must leave Russia for their safety?

If you've ever spent time on any of the royal estates in Scotland. Example, Glenlivet. You can really see what they do for conservation

If I was president, this is how I would solve this Ukraine problem. I would get Americas nuclear arsenal ready using submarines. Then I’ll get on Air Force One. And fly nonstop over Ukraine’s war zone. Telling Russia if they interfere with Air Force One, it would be all out war with America. Taking the power away from Putin. And while Air Force One was flying out to save Ukraine I would have a full deployment of two squadrons of 35s to protect it. Shooting down anything Russia deploys over Ukraine.

Killing a president authorizes nuclear weapons so I make sure my vice president was ready in a bunker.

Kids are all allergic to peanut butter now; schools are more proactive though about keeping the jars out than shooters. Never mind lol

Generally our economy is tuned to expect money remaining in circulation (i.e. being re-invested). Under deflation, said money stays under your bed instead since it appreciates faster than it would if you were to invest, new companies are not created, old ones cannot get loans or funding and everything generally grinds to a halt. An economy structured around stable performance probably wouldn't struggle that much with this, but that is not the economy we have.

>I don’t know if they should be more fearful of a school shooter or a jar of peanut butter they may be allergic to.

I don’t understand what you mean here.

That’s sad.
