Ok bud, you definitely sound like a sane person worth discussing with.

Moscow is in Europe, as is Petersburg, as are something like 80% of the population. So if you want to be like that and say a country has to be entirely in one continent then Russia is in Europe.

The UK’s military base on Cypress was attacked in the opening weekend of the war. At the time the UK was not allowing the US to use any of its bases. Once that (and attacks on the gulf states who also werent participating in the war) happened the UK shifted to allowing the US to use its bases for “defensive” strikes.

The wisdom of crowds is a real thing, but, it only applies when people are making decisions independently of each other. That is decidedly not the case when we are talking about an social media pile on about something.

Alexander and Catherine are both great, but so is Peter.

Well, like I said then: full of shit.

The median US full time salary is 62k, you’re earning 2 and a half times that. Anyone who tells you that’s poverty is either full of shit or deliberately trying to bring you down.

Depends on the type. Coal takes hours to ramp up to temperature but combined-cycle gas turbines ramp up and down in minutes.

Thats fine, I’d agree with that advice, though I dont think its a 100% never ever do this under any situation.

My sole point was that a young woman going on an ill advised date should not be mixed up with children being raped, which is what you were doing by calling someone going on a date with an 18 year old a pedo.

You may be shocked to learn that there are positions available between loving the idea of your adult daughter going on a date with someone 10 years older than her and screaming “pedo!” at them.
