problem with oil and gas in russia is that it's much more expensive to produce than middle East for example. it can't be done without high-tech from the West.
another fun thing about the nukes - they will sell it to these who "pay" the highest bid. both the US and China will be the most interested and should succeed.

thank you!
I understand that this is my path and I'm responsible for all the decisions I'll make. However, I feel absolutely happy to have support surrounding me, starting from family and finishing internet friends. I'd be miserable without it.
@thedisasterautist
ok, so I took a quiz and apparently it's not it. yet, I still feel anxious about the next steps in my life and I can't even put a label on it.

A boomer neighbor tounght me to drive when I came to the US. Incredibly kind and strict lady. I am still in touch with her and we send each other presents every year.
No generalization is ever good or just.

@Jacki
where are all these "blue lives matter" people? this is literally the case
never mind, this was a rhetorical question. these people give zero fucks about lives of others.π‘
@Render
there are flat earth society people. these are real and actively trying to prove the Earth is flat (wasn't there one that created a rocket and crashed in it).
I also knew one girl that did not vaccinate her child because "CDC is out there to kill us all, it's lying, trying to sterilize us" yada yada
I'm not surprised. and they can be pretty loud. the key here is to be louder than they are.
btw, these really hate when people laugh at them π

about traveling to Mars with a guy like musk - I have a vivid deja vu with the "Bear head" by Tchaikovsky π altho that was an allusion on trump, but hey, works for this one as well
The eyes of pain
The eyes of suffering
The eyes that have witnessed the horror of war
Eyes which have seen children raped and murdered
Eyes which have seen grandparents laying dead on the street
These are the eyes of forty thousand Ukrainian women who serve in the Ukrainian Armed Forces, five thousand of them on the front lines killing Russians
These are the eyes of your mother, your sister, your daughter, your best friend.
These are the eyes of #Ukraine

one drug addict is fascinated by the hallucinations of another alcoholic. what an achievement.
