The Antonov An-225 Mriya was made in 1985 in the Soviet Union, modern day Ukraine.

It’s a one off plane with the largest wingspan, largest weight, and largest load bearing potential.

It ran all the way to 2022 when Russians bombed it out to cripple Ukraine’s economic abilities, as it was the only plane that could carry many loads the distances it did, at a rate of travel much faster than freight ships.

Anyway, to say that nothing was innovated or improved under communism is blatant propaganda.

I think this was a rebuttal with hindsight as evidence for the “BoTh SiDeS aRe JuSt As BaD” folks from 2016.

Don’t bite off more than you can chew.

If you need some perspective shift on habit formation I greatly suggest giving this video a watch.

I’ve tried to stop or cut back on my drinking for years, I’d always slip up and then feel bad about it, then slip even further in the trap.

That video itself changed the way I was viewing my situation and has literally changed my life organically in some short order.

No guilt, frustration, shame, anger, just acceptance.

Be kind to yourself

From what I’m getting, you see the end point of major goals other people had, and you wonder how you could ever do anything like that.

What you need to do is turn that into a main quest line. In a video game (most of the time) you don’t start with “kill the big boss and save the realm” but every little thing progresses you to that point. The first thing you get as a goal is something stupid simple and abstract like Equip your sword and block some arrows. Eventually all the little side tangents culminate in “Kill the Boss, Save the realm”.

So try to use that principle in your life. Ask yourself a question, what do I need to do right now to do “XYZ”, come up with two things that would help you accomplish it. Now ask yourself, of those two things, is there anything I can do within the next 5 minutes to make that happen. If your answer is no (let’s be honest it most likely is), split each of those tasks into two things that will help you accomplish that minigoal.

Eventually you will have broken the tasks in two enough times you can find your “Equip your sword, Dodge some arrows” and start crawling your way up that quest tree.

This explains the brief wave of “Weaponized IRS” memes in late 2019 and early 2020 by “alleged Russian troll farms”.

I suppose it depends on what part of the clocks action you first wake up during.

Roe V. Wade was predicated on the constitutional right to privacy, ya dunce. The argument was always about privacy.

Edit to point out, apparently I hurt the feelings of 2 of those “Facts don’t care about your feelings” folks by pointing out facts. Melt snowflakes 🔥❄️🔥

Why don’t we put them in artificial wombs at the expense of the state and create a child army? Then when they age out of the military they can have full citizenship! /s

Yes it happens, no I wouldn’t, go search the 2007scape sub for hacked and hijacked. The Monero subreddit has people pretending to be part of cake wallet. Go to cryptocurrency and ask for a link to an exchange.

Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.

George Carlin

I already don’t like Microsoft or its products, but how in the Holy Fuck is that legal? You can’t at least use the edge on Xbox for that same functionality?

How disgusting, the fact that such an affront to the functioning of western civilization is celebrated here is really telling. I can’t believe that something so vile could be accepted here, even as a meme.

I mean, the bitch established a poll tax calculated based on how many people live with you, adding an unfair undue burden on working folks disenfranchising them of their rights and further consolidating the power of the people into the hands of wealthy folks.

That caricature of a villain stole milk from children, quite literally.

Nice fox though.

Not nearly tin foil hat enough /s
