“60% growth” seems large, but there are almost 85,000,000 people in Germany, so we’re talking about growing from ~0.03% to ~0.05% of the population here.

Chickens and many other birds appear to bob their heads because their eyes are fixed in their sockets, so they can’t fix their eyes on a point while moving, but instead have to keep their head still. What looks like bobbing is the bird pushing its head forward and keeping it completely still for a moment while its body catches up. Without keeping its head still, it wouldn’t be able to see much of anything very effectively, prey or predator.
T rex might have been able to move its eyes, in which case it probably wouldn’t have bobbed its head.
As part of a job application, it’s called a résumé (reh-zuh-may).
To continue playing something, it’s resume (ruh-zoom).
One of the most up voted comments on another thread about this was in effect “Assange has been cleared.” No, he pleaded guilty and served five years in prison, it’s just that he already served that time since he was never released pending trial.
His argument doesn’t make it sound at all like WW II though, there are way more parallels with the Cold War
The Ukraine invasion is totally different though, the international community has already been involved for years and the front lines are more or less static at this point. What Japan did in China…no one stopped them and they kept going all over the Pacific. Another difference was Japan and Germany being formidable powers, Russia is nothing of the sort today, and China is smart enough to stay away
as of right now there are currently 9 more active conflicts going on worldwide than the peak of world war II
Are you really putting the regional conflicts occuring today in the same category as World War II, where over 70,000,000 people were killed? “World War III started 3 years ago” is the stuff of a conspiracist’s fever dream and is not based in any objective reality
A pack of 10 guavas is $2.37 at my grocery store in Texas. $3 for 1 is crazy

“Because it is” lmao
So completely disconnected from the conversation
When you read this after their previous comment, you might notice a lack of engagement with the conversation lol
Syria and Libya dominated the news when their civil wars started and for some time afterward, but just like it has with Ukraine, coverage lessened over time. I’ve regularly seen Afghanistan in the news too, but what is there to report there besides what everyone expected the Taliban would do?
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine was genuinely different than all of these other conflicts, which were mostly ethnic or sectarian in nature. The scope and scale of the Ukraine invasion dwarfs these other conflicts by a significant margin, and it’s being perpetrated by an influential geopolitical adversary of the entire western world that poses a threat beyond this conflict
I used to live in Texas. Still do, but used to, too
I was a ~12 year old child when the Rwanda genocide was happening and remember hearing about it on the news all the time
I know nothing about any of this, but DDG turned this up in the first search result:
“Marrsî” means “Thank you” in Northern Michif, the language of the Northern Métis peoples of Canada.
No he couldn’t.
