I was pointing out the contradiction in the title.

"What Russia wants from Ukraine is not territory"

Yes, it is. It's always comes back to land. Land is THE thing that every country wants. They're not making more of it, and everything derives from land.

Nah, downvoted because it doesn't spark healthy discussion.

"What about freedom of speech?" isn't a valid question because the article is about social media, not a government. There are no freedom of speech rights on social media platforms.

Both sides, because both have extremist ideologies.

Freedom of speech is a government thing, this article is about organisations. It doesn't apply.

Russia is interested in submission ... of territory ... the entire territory of Ukraine (at some point in the future).

And each of them costs about the same as a deposit on a house.

I prefer the manga.

This was supposed to be a joke but it exists.

And what good did that do him?

It's not about money, its about wealth. You could have all the money in the world but if you have all the debts to pay then it means nothing.

Thompson’s net worth was estimated at approximately $42.9 million as of February 16, 2024

His total compensation in 2022 was reported to be $9.86 million, comprising a base salary of $1 million, stock awards, option awards, and non-equity incentive plans.

Thompson had "fuck you" money. The guy was at no risk of needing employment. Equating Thompson with the working class is a joke.

Worker class is the true unifier. You can be lower, mid, and upper worker class.

If you have to work to live, you're working class. If your employer controls a significant portion of your life and time, you're working class.

Yes

The solution came with some out-of-the-DOT-box thinking: They shifted the spot by a hundredth of a mile, and turned Mile 420 into Mile 419.99.

They appear to be clueless, so those with a clue may out themselves.

Guess what day it is today
