These are not mutually exclusive.

Perhaps, this was what you were missing.

We might also be the only part of it that knew it was.

I wish I were successful or well adjusted.

And it’s not just the ass. I like looking at women’s faces over men’s, listening to their voices and thinking about them. Nothing wrong with a male character, but if you give me a choice…

I was hoping this would include caspian sea ports just to see how they’d get on with that, but alas.

Surely he never set fires to any houses himself.

I keep wondering… Just what happened with that bear? How did you kill a bear with your… Bear killer.

Well, what did it say? Are you gay? What did the previous 22 tests you took say?

Some funny ones there.

Like Bear Killer.

Or Fun Destroyer.

My parenting philosophy is that to earn children’s trust, you must be truthful with them. Parents are also tasked with protecting children from too much pain. In practice, this means giving them the truth in a way they can process.

Tell them well in advance.

On the day let them hug the cat as it leaves. Tell them this will be the last time.

In the best case, they will be sad and angry. They might also be confused. Let them.

The above poster gives good advice.

Wouldn’t an STL file be sufficient?

On some level I agree with the sentiment that China’s military power aspirations seem to be primarily regional with soft power as we zoom out I would argue for “Don’t listen what leaders say, watch what they do”.

You don’t build giant landing craft unless you consider a marine landing warfare scenario as credible. You don’t build aircraft carriers unless you care about power projection. You don’t need ballistic missiles unless your enemies are far away. All of these things cost money you could otherwise spend on keeping your citizens happy.

There are a lot of verifiable and expensive signals about China’s power posture transitioning towards a more expeditionary one. Now, they might end up carrying the big stick and speaking softly, which is better for everyone – even if the PRC ends up getting their way – but that just means the hard power lever was used in a different way.

For those like me who don’t know: Tisza is a centrr-right pro European party that aims to reduce corruption, get the sweet EU money and to use it to improve the Hungarian economy by supporting small businesses. The party is headed by Péter Magyar, an MEP.

It is normal for militaries to conceal the identities of military aviators, doubly so if they have been part of a high profile mission.

That is the charitable view anyway. I also have a hard time inagining trump passing on the photo op.

Then again, plastic too.

Dual wielding.

Mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell.

Of course they are, in capitalism, capital likes capital.

That’s socialism!

Oh, right. Socialist Republic of Vietnam.

Or fools.
