They also normalize risk: forcing constant intercepts drains resources and tests cohesion among allies.

it also keeps defensive forces sharp, by giving them practice, and strengthens cohesion by highlighting the shared threat NATO protects its members from.

the Soviets did this for decades. it's still part of their military doctrine, I guess. though it seems counterproductive to me.

I'm fine shooting down hostile fighter jets the second they cross into sovereign airspace, and not a moment sooner.

the Soviets used to fly fighters close to Western airspace to probe our defenses. we'd intercept, and if they crossed over we'd take them down. this is nothing new.

Matthew J. Nykiel, a board-certified surgeon, stated the appearance is modeled after Ivanka Trump's appearance.[9] Melinda Anna Farina, an aesthetic consultant, identified the Mar-a-Lago face as attempting to emulate the appearance of Eastern European women.[2]

but there's totally no cult of personality /s

it's weird that he uses those juvenile nicknames even in private(?) conversation.

I have no scientific basis for this, but my suspicion is that what you do with your brain is more important to cognition than whatever raw intelligence you start with. the more languages you study, the more music you play, the more subjects you study and skills you develop and hobbies you tinker with and deep conversations you have... you learn to learn, you learn to think, it all gets wired up and cross-connected and you become more than the sum of your parts.

how much decline is truly biological vs. being stuck in a rut?

also there's nootropics that could be helpful for concussion recovery/etc. but they haven't been too well-studied, there's many different ones with different sketchiness and sources aren't always trustworthy... but piracetam (iirc) is actually prescribed in the EU for recovery from brain injury, and it's fairly safe and well-studied. I'm not recommending it either way though.

I call it trans-inclusive radical misogyny, as it's basically the inverse of being a terf.

I love trans-inclusive radical misogyny. it's so blursed. imagine if we had this instead of terfs.
