I’m watching the traitors, Australia. Like it but not as much as the uk or American.
Dipping into murderbot. Like it. It’s off beat and odd, but not as funny as it wants to be.
Grand designs. Always good, but a binge becomes repetitive. They all self manage poorly and half get pregnant half way through the build. Houses and architecture are great as always, but I think occasional viewing might be better.
I don't disagree that they should have responded when Crimea was invaded, a decade ago, or Georgia 15 or 20 years ago.
I think Ukraine deserved protection based on those agreements, which were made with world interest at heart.
The crux of the matter is that the USA can't be trusted to uphold any agreement with Trump at the helm. The UK is providing assistance but insufficient on their own.
Ukraine is not part of NATO, so there was not the same clear line of action and response.
Whether Russia was bark or bite is irrelevant when you send your own citizens to die in a war, protecting a different country. You need the political will and popular will to do that.
Those red lines Moscow made have incrementally dropped, without escalation outside ukrainez which sucks for Ukraine but is what the other allies would want, short of peace.
Putin is a violent demagogue and the only response is to destabilise him, which means being the war and sanctions to all Russians so that he doesn't have the political will not support to continue.
Appeasing him by allowing Crimea to be annexed will only mean he tries again there, or somewhere else in the future.
Sure, but you can't use it to download torrents for instance. Or until the eu forced it, use a different browser. The limitations have an effect on the openness of the internet as much as they do for user ease of use.
I don't know if you've tried any other phone in the last decade but there is not more troubleshooting on an android device than an iPhone. I have an iPad. I constantly find it more frustrating, than easy to use.
Do you cost more and do more environmental damage for a worse job than you used to do, for no reason or benefit?
You think that if the libs and nats collectively have a majority, they won’t reform the coalition? What this means is they campaign on different issues to appeal to altered demographics, but the end result means you don’t get what you voted for. So, less honesty, if that possible.
However, it’s not necessarily a bad thing for democracy in general that people see coalitions form with compromises on their policies. It paves the way for more small parties to gain seats and be in minority government.
But Ukraine is not part of nato, so although nato members were not happy, they risked a larger scale war by attacking directly. The point of nato is that Russia risks it by doing the opposite. And it only works if they aren’t bluffing.
Lol, yes, as a gay man with 2 kids, I'm unable to appreciate the struggles men might have in raising children.
You seem to think we all can make choices without consequences. If women choose not to raise children and instead return to work rather than their husband, they are judged for it. If men do so,.it is seen as normal and expected.
Couple make choices but part of our choices are framed by how society is set up to allow those choices. Would more women choose to take more time with their children if they knew their career and finances would be unaffected? Would men too?
Would more children have the love and care they need if we allowed people to make the choice based on how they think the kids are best raised, rather than from financial pressure?
The crux of the matter is, how society is set up affects these choices, materially and in peer pressure to conform. As it is currently, that means women take more of the childcare burden and face financial consequences for it. Outside of childcarez they face discrimination on the basis that they MAY have children in the future. Assertive women are seen as bitchy. Assertive men are seen as go-getters. Professional women are less likely to find and marry a partner, even if they wish to, as men find it emasculating.. professional men find it easier to find a partner as they are seen as accomplished. Then we have the issue of how much each role is paid and roles offering flexibility to allow child care being paid less.
Basically, the cards are stacked against them but they can choose to fight at every step. Due to the fight at every step, few advance to the upper echelons and the average woman is paid less at all levels. Sometimes for the same work, sometimes as they are overlooked for promotion to higher paying roles. Either sucks.
No, I think that's different. I think the commonest was TK but finches was the fancy one. Country spring was the giant bottle you'd expect at kids birthday parties.
I feel like red lemonade deserves a mention too.
While the European broadcast agency censors the boos from the crowd and the shouts of free Palestine. I’m pretty sure it was a concerted effort to gain points. I’d be curious to know how many votes it takes in each country to get the points they did. I’d prefer them spending money on propaganda for their image and wasting it on Eurovision votes than buying bombs and bullets.
Fry on a grill or pan with medium heat to brown. Don’t go too thin on the slices. Drizzle with honey.
