Let me get this straight:
You are locked in a war on the other side of the globe, completely dependent on European infrastructure literaly begging for us to join and you feel like flexing against a continent of several former empires with unmatched history of warfare is good, because former commie empire is digged in 2nd world country for 4 years unable to even stop the destruction of its own oil infrastructure.
Buddy, you are not gonna believe that, but Germany stopping being gay, green and woke is not bad for us, but for you.
Your entire world dominance stands on a deal that Europe will not militarise and will follow your lead.
To commemorate my father’s 95th birthday, I want to remind Spock fans that dad’s parents were Ukrainian immigrants which shaped my father in many ways. Four years of Putin’s war has brought death and destruction to our people, our homeland. LLAP. #standwithukraine#ukraine
This tiny speck about half the size of a grain of rice contained a staggering 57,000 cells, 230 mm of blood vessels, and 150 million synapses. The project required a decade of work and generated 1.4 petabytes of data (equivalent to 14,000 4K movies) just to capture this single cubic millimeter at nanoscale resolution
One of the most powerful Reddit accounts ever, /u/maxwellhill, a longtime curator and moderator of r/worldnews, stopped posting the day Ghislaine Maxwell was arrested.
The account had posted almost daily for 14 years.

how fucking stupid is it that we have all these supposed billionaire geniuses running around and their greatest innovation of our lifetime has been stealing all our data to sell us ads.
FYI, Americans, you cannot imagine HOW racist your society is compared to the European one. Even though Europeans can be quite xenophobic, too,
we don’t go around with color palettes comparing snow white and tanned skin to determine whether a person was white enough to be killed by the police.
And, what is important, remember: even in early 20th century, only three races of humans were distinguished in the world. Caucasoid, Mongoloid and Negroid. (Not those weird categories you have in your questionnaires and statistics).
Nowadays, even these distinctions are challenged, and rightfully so.
If blood can be donated from a person of any race to a person of any race, this already means we’re not that different. Biochemistry doesn’t lie.
When you enter school or university in Europe, you are sometimes asked: what is your mother tongue, where you were born, and (rarely) where your parents were born. And they ask that not to separate you from others. They ask that to see whether additional support might be needed in terms of language of instruction.
You know, which statistical parameter of a person is found to be the best indicator of their social level and potential success at school? (It is used widely in Belgium to equalize school classes composition).
Not race, not immigration background, not language.
The level of education of their mother.
This is the only strong predictor.
So, your palettes, your “Latino/White/Black/Asian/whatever” categories are irrelevant.
