It’s a stalemate, largely. While Russia was massively on the backfoot earlier in the year, they mined massive swaths of eastern Ukraine before partially retreating.

Which makes it unlikely for Russia to actually have any future forward progress, but it also stymies Ukraine from doing the same except extremely slowly. There’s still been several victories for Ukraine over the past few months, but they haven’t changed the fighting area much.

It’s largely a war of attrition to wear down Russia now, who has been having more and more internal issues as time goes on.

The national university system should de-accredidate any university that uses this test.

The answer is likely just that Bethesda coders are bad at optimization. They don’t have to put out a quality product, so they never learn how to make one.

Did you forget literally everything about Fallout 76?

But we’re a decade past where that’s good enough. “Another Bethesda game” at that same Bethesda quality level now is a trash game.

Using female as a noun is both bizarre and cringe if we’re not talking in a clinical setting. You would say “a woman’s behind”, not “a female’s behind”, unless you’re a misogynistic Ferengi.

Which I suppose is basically what incels are.

Though at this point, it looks like Trump will get the nomination with no real competition from DeSantis or anyone else, regardless of going to jail.

Trump fleeing and some states striking him from the ballot will enrage his supporters and make them not vote for who the actual nominee is.

I think the fleeing outcome harms the Republican chances more.

I mean, him running away to Russia would split Republicans even more. He’d still have his dedicated followers, but it would cause even more of a fight regarding DeSantis and others.

I’m trying to decide which would be more chaotically beneficial for the rest of us, him going to jail or fleeing.

The first thing I did when I made an account on Kbin was block the several meme instances that showed up on the front page feed. Shouldn’t everyone do that?

If you like authentic Korean food, I’d suggest Maangchi

Silver is related to real name. Seren is Runescape god name.

They know that there’s nothing meaningful to find from such an investigation, they were just demanding it because of the implication and because they can keep pushing conspiracy claims.

But an actual investigation to reveal the nothing is terrible for Republicans, because it cuts short the made up things they’ve been claiming.

Hence, their only option now is to try and discredit the very thing (and person) that they’ve been calling for.

They don’t inherently do so. Unless you have some biological claim to that effect?

The only reason they encourage monocropping is because the seeds are just that much better than the alternatives, so farmers are less likely to want to grow other options. A similar effect happened when F1 hybrid seeds were introduced, leading to the Green Revolution.

In that regard, having a broader variety of GMO cultivars with many kinds of crops would help diversify farmer usage.

Crop types are subsidized, like corn in the midwest, but that doesn’t have any special connection to biotech seeds. Outside of you’re more likely to get research done on and biotech seeds made for the more popular crop types than others.

Don’t even get me started on the people who claim those with diabetes or asthma can get better with willpower and shouldn’t be taking medicine.

Good and useful crops encourage monocropping because why would farmers want to grow inferior options that will produce less overall and be less desired by consumers?

So monocropping is the natural result of consumer demand and the agricultural improvement of seeds.

That doesn’t make monocropping not a problem, but it doesn’t mean purposefully using worse seeds is the solution.

While companies are bad, that doesn’t automatically make things a company produces bad even if the company is trying to price-gouge or otherwise make the most profit out of it. You can oppose the latter while not pushing bullshit about the former.

In this regard, I’m referring to things that people generally try to push anti-science views on and use “company bad” as their purposefully bad argument to conflate the two things.

So, medicine and pharmaceuticals are not bad, even if the companies are bad.

Same goes with vaccines, obviously.

Biotech crops are not bad (and people really need to learn about how all crop cultivars have patents, including heirloom and organic cultivars).

You’re gonna make me start a fight with you.

Though, from a realistic scientific standpoint, the answer is and has always been both are responsible. The impact was a major destructive event that caused massive sun-blocking constant winter die-offs that the Deccan Traps contributed to over a much longer period.

Geez, you trolls are so pathetic.

Yeah, everyone was talking about it earlier today. Look at the down reports from earlier today: https://downdetector.com/status/reddit/
