@Amikke Can an Arab woman vote in Israel? Curious, genuine question.

@PiedraFiera You think the American's (NATO) deliberately shot themselves in the foot with the sanctions?
So they wanted the Russian ruble to increase in value?
Nah, not buying it. ;-P No offence intended.

@PiedraFiera
Agree, looks like sanctions are being eased somewhat as the west realizes events have backfired with unintended consequences.

🇺🇲🇷🇺🇺🇦 American economist Jeffrey Sachs: "Ukraine will disappear from the map, or a third world war will begin"

Among the well-known Americans who disagree with the official White House version of events in Ukraine, a serious addition: the economist Jeffrey Sachs has warned that the conflict in Ukraine will not end with the defeat of Vladimir Putin. “Ukraine will disappear from the map, or the third world war will begin,” he gave a forecast of the development of events during the Free Thoughts on the Future conference.

It is noteworthy that Sacks blames the West for starting the current conflict, saying that there is only one option to end hostilities - NATO must admit that it will not expand at the expense of Ukraine. The arrogance of the Western military alliance, which refused to take into account the demands of Russia to ensure its security, is the reason for the outbreak of hostilities in the center of Europe. And if the West really wants peace, Sachs believes, it needs to end the war against Russia, not on NATO terms, but with Moscow's interests in mind.

I miss having real conversations with real people on the Internet, as opposed to just trying to be funny to strangers/lift their spirits.

I believe these are Regular Russian Army troops (not militia or Wagner) doing an air recon search and destroy mission. (No Gore)

Roger’s tour is already underway, and our early efforts have been a resounding success, with thousands of leaflets distributed and hundreds of people signing up to join our mailing lists.

Hadn't heard of this service before, being that I don't have any use for MSFT. Sketchy companies abound.

Well I agree with you about society, just being reminded of it can be depressing at times.

I recently upgraded my own workstation to a ThinkPad T440p with osboot. I sell it pre-flashed on my store at minifree.org/ but used an X200T myself.

The T440p keyboard has grown on me. The keys feel heavy and robust, nice tactile feel. I love this new machine!

FYI They were just amazed at the level of corruption and the Nazism displayed by Ukrainian “soldiers”.

Well now that I'm thoroughly depressed about the future for my grandchildren and theirs, I'm gonna have a beer and eat some BBQ on the balcony and appreciate what I have now. Sheesh! 😜
