  1. The article is paywalled. Did you mean an 'ethnics' study course? But I suppose calling it 'Ethics' would play better with conservatives.
  2. ^ These days the right can be set off just by the appearance of virtue signalling, so who knows really?
  3. I thought only some of the Russian tanks had deployed reactive armor?
  4. When the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.
  5. We watched the latest Dune movie and enjoyed it. The music is very moody but the visuals and effects are impressive. I could easily watch it a few more times. One thing I wish media movie releases would do is provide an option where the vocals are increased by about 15-30 Db. It's hard to hear them over the ambient background noises and music.
  6. It's missing the wingnut, but I suppose that's not specific to the far right.
  7. During conflicts certain uncomfortable topics may get set aside or minimized as they can be used for disinformation purposes by an adversary. The Russians have already been exploiting racial divisions in the US to sew further discord.
  8. Yes, it's an expedient perspective that minimizes distraction from the main goal. Such is human nature.
  9. The precedent for lowering the sanctions will be a binding peace treaty between Russia and Ukraine, with the US and EU as interested participants and guarantors. We could speculate about what shape that will take, but without a treaty Russia has little diplomatic leverage on the West. Hopefully such a treaty will stick, or they could be fighting another war in 10-20 years.
  10. It's probably intended for internal digestion, so Putin can redirect passions over the struggling war effort to an external factor.
  11. Bummer. The Little-Known Role of the Soviet Union in the Vietnam War
  12. I'm sure there is biological science taking place in Mongolia, so a biological lab would not be out of place. A bioweapons lab is something else entirely.
  13. I just listened to his filthiest joke ever told. It's... NSFW.
