I think the asterisk is the entire explanation for the down votes.

OP hasn’t said why they were taking the steroids or what underlying physical constraints they have. And that’s fine, it’s none of my business. I’m just happy they’re feeling better.

It’d be like me walking into a hospital, not bothering to read a patients chart, and then just telling all the patients what they need to do to get better.

I’m only operating on assumptions, not asking any questions, and I’m not even a doctor.

It’s absurd, absolutely absurd, offensively absurd to say anything will have a “similar result” to anything else if you don’t even know specifically what they’re taking or even why they’re taking it in the first place.

That doesn’t mean it’s bad advice, in the general sense. It’s just inappropriate to offer up your prescription to a specific person with a specific issue with absolutely no information about the person or the issue.

I’m really enjoying it too. I feel like they really refined a lot of the existing mechanics… it’s so much more clear to me know what the original envisioning of some mechanics were.

I feel like they saw how the game ended up being played, and went back to the drawing board.

I must be, because no matter how many times I read your last paragraph, no matter the charity I afford, I can’t comprehend and alternative interpretation of your last paragraph. Iran is “FORCED” to sell munitions to Russia. The if clause sets the precondition of that as being the sanctions imposed on them.

If you didn’t intend to imply they don’t have a choice (forced) or that the precondition isn’t the sanctions imposed by the USA, you could absolutely take another shot at formulating your thoughts.

I’d say I’d be happy to read them, but based on the aggressiveness of your reply I really am not anticipating I will.

What do bees need pollen for? I thought bees just got bukkaked as an co-evolutionary repayment for the nectar they’re jacking?

Ah, so by your measure Iran providing an eye watering amount of munitions to Russia to attack Ukraine is ultimately the fault of the USA?

Why exactly does Ukraine have so much experience shooting down Shahed drones?

Iran has been producing the munitions that have been raining on them for 4 years.

I’m going to be real with you, I see no difference between the USA sending Israel munitions to fire on Gaza and Iran sending them to Russia to fire at Ukraine. Either you need to tell me with a straight face that the USA respects Palestinian sovereignty or you need to accept that Iran doesn’t respect the sovereignty of Ukraine.

“Brigading” implies off-channel coordination. I don’t think that’s really what you’re suggesting is happening here.

Ai generated images always hit me as stale and soulless. They strike me as the repeated distillation of a statistical average.

Even putting aside the absurdity of the subject, this doesn’t give me those vibes.

Not IT, but my dad said they lost a chemical engineering hire over this once, like 25 years ago.

In pretty much the opposite direction, my hill is that “right”,“wrong”, “blameworthiness” and “praiseworthyness” are concepts that people are in general allergic to critical thought towards, and they are EXACTLY the concepts that people should be approaching in order to have a better life and to make a better world.
