Im not sure why this is such a terrible peace plan
Its exactly what has been discussed many times, Russia keeps Crimea and Donbas and Ukraine wont join NATO
Ukraine keeps 80% of its country and can join the EU when it meets the requirements
It seems the most reasonable suggestion where both sides make compromises
Apart from being completely one-sided, a critical point is that it does nothing to deter another Russian invasion of Ukraine after the Russians have re-armed and rebuilt their forces. Only a NATO alliance or Ukrainian nuclear weapons would provide that.

now usa are going after autistic people

There's a distinct lack of humanity in the cuts I've observed. I'm not sure if that's just because its how they are reported in the Press, or just because the administration is made of wealthy a**holes. Maybe both.

I thought it ended on January 20 2025
DJT said it would end within 24 hours, so technically it ended on Jan. 21st.

Anyway, I am glad you enjoy it and I hope you continue to do so. I am still scared to dive into Wrath of the Righteous. I started it and PTSD started to come back.
Yeah, if you don't like fighting demons then this isn't the game for you. That being said, it's at least as good as Kingmaker, and I liked the companions more. At least the non-evil ones.

Did you end up watching Interview with a Vampire on AMC?
These days I'm less interested in purely vampire-based plot lines, so no I haven't watched it. I have enjoyed Being Human though, perhaps because it's a mix of themes.

I finished watching Domino Day on AMC+. It was pretty decent, even fun at times, even though fantasy always seems too random to me.
Now I'm giving Snowpiercer a reluctant try... and I'm finding it better than I expected. The whole concept is completely absurd, but I suppose it can be viewed as a type of generation ship.

Its a great question and only American voters can answer that because they will vote on the successes or failures of Trumps presidency
So we will see in the Midterms, personally I think Trump has created too much chaos, inconsistency and criticism for this positive development to balance out
But we will have to see, the strength of the economy and overall inflation will be the deciding factor in support for Trump in the midterms. That can negate or worsen everything else
From a certain perspective, it can be viewed as a race against time: will DJT ruin the economy before he can impose his vision of an authoritarian regime. In that case it can make tactical sense to delay his imposed measures for as long as possible. Hence, we get a massive number of lawsuits while the judicial branch still retains power. I don't think DJT's measures to limit immigration will be disfavored by a majority voters. Likewise, the focus on transgender is a side issue. It's all about the economy.

China’s CATL says it has overtaken BYD on 5-minute EV charging time
QuoteThe world’s biggest electric vehicle battery maker said on Monday that a new version of its flagship Shenxing battery cell could offer a 520km (323mi) range from just five minutes of charging time.
They've almost caught up to gasoline-powered vehicles now, which have an average range of 413 miles per tank.

NASA’s Lucy Captures Stunning Views of Peanut-Shaped Asteroid in Latest Flyby
The asteroid is named for the anthropologist who discovered the Lucy fossil in Africa. It looks pretty beat up.

Jubilost might not necessarily be available at that point.

Surprised Hegseth hasn't been sacked.
I suspect he'll only be thrown under the bus when he makes DJT look bad.

Consuming more potassium helps keep blood pressure down, so I've been focusing on foods high in K. Like bananas, dried apricots, beans, unsalted potatoes, and various fruit juices. Apparently it causes more sodium to empty out through your urine.

I heard it's being made by some of the XCOM folks, so it could be decent.

Helpful approach to study to have a conclusion and work backwards, I suppose
I hope we're not going to see a Lysenkoism-like campaign in the USA, but that seems to be the way the right is trending.

US Supreme Court to hear birthright citizenship case on May 17
I am interested to see how SCOTUS rules on this issue, particularly with regard to birth tourism. Sounds like it all boils down to the interpretation of "jurisdiction" in the 14th amendment.

A slowly spinning universe could solve the Hubble tension
Quote"Much to our surprise, we found that our model with rotation resolves the paradox without contradicting current astronomical measurements. Even better, it is compatible with other models that assume rotation. Therefore, perhaps, everything really does turn. Or, panta kykloutai," noted Szapudi.
Their model suggests the universe could rotate once every 500 billion years—too slow to detect easily, but enough to affect how space expands over time.
If true, it presents a nice, tidy package for our understanding of the big bang.

Trump says he wants to imprison US citizens in El Salvador. That’s likely illegal
I could see that idea devolving into a prison sentence for enemies of the Prez. Grab them in a midnight raid and ship them out of the country. There'd be little the Justice department could do to bring them back.

I'm binging the Fallen series on AMC+. It's pretty weird stuff in a number of ways, but I like weird.
Well that was a pointless waste of time. Is it really a choice when your only option is the "right" choice?
