By musks account. By Walter Isaacson’s account the opposite was the case. Considering musks opposition to aiding the victim, it would be on brand.

Either you give them land from which they can prepare their next attack or you show them that they’re unable to take and hold land. So yeah. Pretty much.

It ends the second russia withdraws its troops or they are beaten out of Ukraine.

Yup. Russia doesn’t understand diplomacy. Only force. It’s sad that russia acts this way, so, unfortunately, beating them is the only way to have lasting peace.

That or leadership change but I don’t think putler fears anything more than losing power and the people are either weak or live in a propaganda bubble.

No. Russia is 100% in the wrong, continously committing crimes against humanity for no justifiable reason at all.

… that, in the pursuit of taking away Ukrainian freedom and independence.

Hence, to actively disrupt their defense is deeply unethical. He chose to do something rather than nothing, and it directly helps those wishing to make the world a worse place. Disgraceful.

But then you’d have a myriad of arguably worse problems.

It’s only a matter of time before you the same regarding microsoft. Their services always get worse as time progresses.

not exactly a Hitlerian take-over of Europe.

Only because they lack the ability. Civilian massacres like in Bucha are happening and have been happening throughout the war.

Yeah, pay her. After you pay me for leaving this comment.

Or just charge her for a bunch of stuff you did that night and say you’ve already payed.

Or say you charge the same fee. Or a greater one and she needs to pay up.

russia says Yeah, I trust the sounds my ass makes to be a great deal more reliable than whatever russia says.

The chinese state, as most authoritarian regimes are, is first and foremost concerned with maintaining power. They do this, primarily by suppressing political opposition. In furtherance of this goal, they restrict the flow of information that could encourage political opposition in any conceivable way. That is the main reason it exists.

They do crack down on piracy when economically beneficial, as I understand it. But it’s not the purpose of the firewall and, even then, they do have means to circumvent it.

No, santa clause is off limits. What would we do if the easter bunny wasn’t real?

These concepts must be kept alive, granted special treatment, tax exemptions or… we might forget about them and… well… what are we going to fight about then!?

If your world view is based upon a conspiracy theory with little to no backing evidence, you are bound to face mockery.

When you use these theories to suppress the rights of others and act like a barbaric caveman, either conflict arises or you have an ideological dictatorship.

Religion is great at detaching you from reality and your fellow man. Calling it human decency to encourage both of those behaviors is absolutely awful and you should be deeply ashamed.

I wonder if it has anything to do with the person writing the comment being able to choose their username 🤔

By a huuuge mile indeed. Blender devs are great at listening and communicating with the community.

The standardization of hotkeys and features across the software is fantastic. The UI is snappy and filled to the brim with intuitive QoL features I wish were standard for my OS.

I have irreconcilable grievances with a lot of open source software, VLC, VSCode, etc, and find development slow and heading non optimal for others like Sharex and Firefox… but Blender, that’s green on all fronts.
