Metallic doesn’t kill you even if you ate it
The article says it’s safe to touch and even swallow, but inhaling it causes problems consistent with the victim’s symptoms.
Joe Biden doesn’t care about brown people.

It honestly could be either.
And both options are depressing.
I haven’t watched Wakanda Forever, but […] Looking at some of the complaints, it appears to have a similar problem to other modern Disney films, in which women are put on an elevated pedestal and men are left to be bumbling idiots completely incapable of basic human functions.
No, not at all. There are three male characters in the film (Winston Duke’s M’Baku, Martin Freeman’s Everett Ross, and Tenoch Huerta’s Namor), and they are all very competent. One is a CIA agent, and the other two are leaders of their people.
I did watch Black Panther […] I do recall noticing that Disney chose only white actors to play all the villain roles in Black Panther
The villain in Black Panther was Erik Killmonger, played by the very black Michael B. Jordan.
Cool. Thanks.
Quick question: Is “tankie” a pejorative?
Are you having a stroke?
I believe you’re never going to own a house.
Am I wrong about that?
I don’t know what those are.
Is a Tankie someone who believes facts?
I guess the Russian army was invading Kyiv to give everyone flowers then back in 2022?
Russia says that the purpose of their operation in Kyiv was to destroy military stockpiles of munitions that were located there, and wasn’t intended to be an occupation.
But even if that’s not true, occupying a place militarily is not the same as claiming legal ownership of it.
Again, they’re only claiming parts of Ukraine right now instead of the whole thing as a part of their information op to make Ukraine look
So you agree that Russia is not claiming Ukraine.
You’re saying (based on unprovable speculation) that Russia has secret plans to claim Ukraine in the future. I don’t have a crystal ball, so I can’t know if that’s true or not. But even if it is, that’s not the same as saying that Russia currently claims Ukraine.
The private opinion of a Russian official is not the same thing as the official stance of his government.
I block people who accuse me of lying for no reason.
I’m not making up anything. And I’m blocking you.
don’t be thick
Where am I being thick? What do you think I’m not understanding?
I don’t understand your objection to anything I’m saying.
Israel and China have somewhat understandable claims over West Bank/Gaza and Taiwan, which is why those are complicated situations. Russia makes no such claim over Ukraine.
They were annexed by Russia from Ukraine (a country that Russia does not claim).
Look, you’ve accused me of lying, you’ve misrepresented what I say, you stubbornly refuse to understand what I’m saying, and you don’t seem to have any understand of the situation you’re passionately arguing about.
I’m just gonna block you.
Not only is this article 2 years old, it predates the entire invasion.
Yes, that’s what I said.
I said:
That’s why, before invading, they formally recognized the independence of Donetsk and Luhansk from Ukraine.
You are just making this up.
I am not.

The word Russian has two meanings in English. It can mean relating to the country of Russia, or relating to the Rus ethnicity.
The Russian language distinguishes the two. The first is росси́йский. The second is ру́сский. Both words are translated as “Russian” in English, which causes confusion in English, but there’s no such confusion in Russian.
These people (Dagestanis) are Russian in the first sense, but not the second sense.
Historically, the second sense of “Russian” included Ukrainians and Belarussians (so you could say Ukrainians were Russian in the second sense, but not the first sense) but it’s become controversial to do so since the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
