Congratulations to Ukraine for winning the @Eurovision Song Contest 2022.
It is a clear reflection of not just your talent, but of the unwavering support for your fight for freedom.
Incredibly proud of @SamRyderMusic and how he brilliantly represented the UK tonight.
@RUNMELOOP1@wesyang Mate why we blink way more than necessary to keep our eyes lubricated, way way more, and its relation to dopamine, is a fascinating subject
@eideticeye Dont know this training was months before the war. They seemed to be testing out the gun in its new shoulder fired configuration, as well as this massive muzzle break that they hoped would stop it rising. They werent being fired as machine guns, controlled bursts. Thats all I saw
Ukraine needs Barrett M82s
They're often called "sniper rifles", but they're not
They're a way of chucking very heavy bits of led very long distances with very good accuracy
And can fire rounds like armour-piercing incendiary & high-explosive armour-piercing incendiary

Moving away from the Good is at the same time moving towards it
Not sure if you've read Dante's Divine Comedy, but the idea is that his descent into hell is how he he ascends into the Paradiso

@RUNMELOOP1 Everything within creation is moving towards the good, not only us. I'm not saying a rock "desires" like we do, but you can argue that gravity is desire on a lower ontological level
