You mean like being a part of the USSR and wanting nothing to do with them?

I’m also curious how annexing a country and extending your borders to countries already in NATO solves that problem?
And what history does NATO have of using their arms for offensive purposes, rather than defense?
What is NATO doing to interfere with Russia’s domestic operations and sovereignty? Ukraine is not Russia, so Russia should have no say in the matter just because they’re next to each other.
Same thing would apply if Ukraine were to invade Russia. Ukraine would have no business doing so.
Putin should have no reason to give a rat’s ass if any country is in NATO, unless he plans on invading it.
Oh please let that be a reason accidentally spit out by one of those plagiarism machines some day
My dad thought it was silly for me to replace my gas powered motor with an automatic throttle control that doesn’t really work with an electric one, but having no knowledge or desire to rebuild a carburetor (like him), I think I made the right move.
Yes! I’m amazed at how few responses here bring up the lack of attraction in a mall. Nearly every square foot has been given up for dumb kiosks for cell phone cases or something like that. There’s just nothing to give some warm fuzzies about visiting - a water feature, a kids play area… Heck, I grew up near the first indoor mall and at one point they had a giant parakeet cage. If one landed on your finger, you could keep the bird.
Generally speaking, people who contribute to society.
I don’t see “gambling on the right cryptocurrency” as a contribution to society. I also don’t see how “individuals that own the overwhelming majority of dollars, euros, etc.” wouldn’t simply become “individuals that own the overwhelming majority of cryptocurrency” by virtue of working with that
Ahhh yes. Some of them are just made up things that people say is totally money, while the others are actually just made up things that people say is totally money. Huge difference, I’m sure.
If by “a big cut” you mean maybe a few percent, and that most businesses take electronic payments anyway because there are advantages (people are more likely to buy stuff when convenient, accounting is easier, less risk of theft/loss than physical cash, etc) then sure, I guess.
If you think the solution is to make up a new kind of imaginary money that takes a shitton of energy to maintain, which has tons of different types (Bitcoin, Ethereum, whatever one was referenced in the initial comment) and would happen to greatly benefit those who happened to be early adopters (TOTAL coincidence, I’m sure)… No.
the 90ies
The ninetieies?
Not the one you replied to, and I have a slightly different model (OpenRun Pro) but in my experience, not at all.
They work a little differently with bone conduction. This requires a tiny bit of pressure just below your temple in front of your ear. It doesn’t hurt, but if I wear it all day long (way more than a couple hours) I find myself a little bit… Annoyed with them? Just a little. I still happily put them on again the next day. Zero pain.
Oh, and bass comes out a little differently and kinda tickles a little bit. If you listen to stuff with a lot of bass frequently it may not be your best option. Sound quality is generally like a pair of Sound Blaster speakers from the 90s: it gets the job done just fine, but it’s not for audiophiles.
Also a huge fan of mine (OpenRun Pro). Worth mentioning that they’re pretty lousy in noisy settings, like airplanes or mowing the lawn, but I love being able to listen to things without separating myself from the outside world
Why would it have to be a crypto donation? Their bank accounts are in USD. Most of their readers have USD. People can transfer USD. What does some arbitrary crypto thing you want to pretend is money add that makes it better for those “most people”?
their options are fairly limited. Ham/cheeseburger, chicken burger, fish sandwich, or nuggets is pretty much your array of options
You must not have been to a McDonald’s in a while. Do you want that chicken sandwich grilled or crispy? Spicy? Are we talking the basic value sammich you can wolf down before you leave the parking lot, or the bigger one that comes in a cardboard box? The one with bacon and ranch, or one of the others? Did you want a combo meal? Lettuce is stupid filler on a sandwich, do you want to skip that?
Teeeechnically that could mean Russia is threatening them over it, in which case they are threatened by Russia. But that’s just me being a pedantic pain in the ass before bed.
Sounds like a “spectacular” failure to me
It’s not, but it’s a common phrase and brings up a fair point even if the wrong way.
Or maybe Ukraine isn’t the aggressor here and Putin is proving why Ukraine wants to be in NATO
