There is nothing within the lore of 40k that would justify the existence of the Imperium on the basis of the fact that the Imperium is inherently genocidal, and in the wise words of the best Star Trek character: pic.twitter.com/k832f8XAuy

Abraham lincoln won a presidential election in civil-war-torn America in 1864, and fdr secured his fourth term in 1944 while American troops were in action across the globe. Winston Churchill, by contrast, avoided the electorate until the war in Europe was over in 1945, at which point he was turfed out.
Ukraine's constitution is confusing. Article 103 states that the president is elected for a five-year term; but Article 108 says that he or she exercises power until a new president is inaugurated. A longstanding law (though not a constitutional provision) says that elections cannot be held when martial law is in force, as it has been in Ukraine since Russia began its full-scale invasion in February 2022.
I love how they ignoring that martial laws ends on 19 May and that Ukraine is parliamentary country where parliament has more power and there should been parliament election in October or November 2023 and now parliament can't prolong the martial laws that they extended for 3 months in February because Parliament lost its power in March. So ignore that detail that doesn't suit them.
As the war drags on, Mr Zelensky's popularity will be tested further. Already his star power is waning. Some Ukrainians wonder if a different leader could have fought more effectively, or found a way to negotiate some kind of peace. The president insists his aim is still to recover all of Ukraine's lost land, which seems unachievable. The government is under fire for alleged corruption and the centralisation of power in the hands of a tiny circle. It has bungled the mobilisation of fresh troops: many front-line units are down to 70% or so of their strength. After a long delay, a new conscription law is in place, but it will take months for its effects to be felt on the battlefield.
It's hilarious how they trying to end every paragraph with a positive note
Khohols don't want to fight the mobilisation is their 24/7 whole year. Sending men more notes won't fix it. All who wanted to fight already joined the army. You don't see men returning from west to blast their bussy for Zelenskyy. And 70% soldiers are saying they will leave Ukraine after this conflict ends. Yet homosexual end the pragraph with โit will take months for its effects to be felt on the battlefieldโ like it ever will be felt.
Ukraine should be able to resist, and in the coming months it will be bolstered by a new package of military and financial aid approved by America's Congress in April. But still, Mr Zelensky needs to address rather than evade the questions raised by the end of his formal presidential term. He should acknowledge that he needs eventually to hold an election, and lay out plans for how one might be organised. It will be hard: Russia will doubtless bar voting in areas it occupies and bomb polling booths in areas it doesn't. But a country as ingenious as Ukraine can surely find ways to give its people a proper say in how they are governed. One of the many reasons why they don't want to be swallowed by Russia is that Russians under Mr Putin have no such choice. Rather than suspend democracy indefinitely, Mr Zelensky should lay out plans to strengthen it. โ
Ukraine already getting help, they launched couple hundreds ATACMS since February when they didn't had officially aid but Biden โsecretlyโ pushed it. So there won't be any wunderwaffel. This bs is more pathetic than epic spring counteroffensive and leopards. Khohols are saying they preparing new counteroffensive for 2027. By that time they won't have any men left. Zelenskyy told by lowering age from 27 to 25 he will mobilise 300k while there literally ain't that many men in Ukraine in that age barracks and age Barack 18-20/21 don't exist anymore since people were underage 2 years ago and left the country. So even if he lowers to 18 there won't be 300k to mobilise

Its every way worse game. It looks like shit. I have issue see where borders of arena is. Beocuse everything is this muted collored mesh that's low quality.
Game play is worse then 1. From how it feels to how fun it is. Weapons are meh. Power ups are meh. It is step down from 1.
Writing is biggest offender. It is full blow tumblar writing. Characters are cringe and gay. Writing is even worse. It is just bad

The producer of Ben Shapiro's show reached out to me to see if I'd like to discuss Ben's attire on his show. Like with Piers Morgan, since Ben invited feedback, I will do a thread comparing him to a menswear iconโthis time, Ralph Lauren's Polo Bear. ๐งต pic.twitter.com/8BP0EBbWzL

In the language learning world there are two types of people.
1. The people who learn for some practical purpose, their bf speaks the language, or they need it for work etc
2. The people who want to impress others by being a person who can speak X
Naturally most redditors fall into the second category. They're an underrated drama-positive group imo because they treat number of languages spoken in the same way that chuds view IQ points, like as in an objective measurement of your social ability. And so threads are often incredibly competitive, humblebragging, dragging each other down nonsense.
So like people who assume that if you can speak another language that you can also read and write in that language, and vise-versa. What annoying assumptions have people made that annoyed you?
Let's see what insults these redditors have had to put up with from the plebs today.
That you somehow have much more free time than them, because they "would love to learn a language, but can't find the time". If you're serious about it, you'll find the time.
It's insane that people can be so insulting when trying to justify why they don't have a skill that you have. They also say you're "lucky" to have such a "talent" for learning languages, as if you didn't put years of practice into that.
I HATE the talent word usage. I have picked up a lot of skills over the years, I wrote a book, I have calligraphic handwriting, I write nice notes, and I'm B1 in Russian. This did not happen in a day, I wasn't born writing fancy notes, I spent hundreds of hours honing those abilities to the point that it's effortless now, yet all I get is "Omg you're so smart and talented". Ugh.
Naturally they're are also extremely neurodivergent and don't know when someone's just being nice and that they don't actually want to learn Icelandic or whatever with you
They find some word, or a meme in that language and it's a word you don't know or regional slang you're not familiar with. So you can't tell them what it means."I thought you spoke ___(whatever language)"
As if they know every word in English.
People ask -How do you say some word or phrase in another language. When you don't know... "So, you're not fluent?"
lol they keep getting found out as phonies
As I am an independent learner, they assume I just play with Duolingo and don't really know anything. Duo has really damaged the reputation of the independent learners :-(
Now everyone thinks I'm as low class as those, ugh, phone app people
I'm studying Japanese and i feel like i'm often judged and that people think i'm just someone who knows how to say "kawaii", "manga" and "sushi" and will lose interest in the language in three days despite having studied it seriously for years.
Japanese anime enjoyers probably have enough autism power to take it more seriously than most tbh
I actually didn't tell anyone that I'm learning Japanese. I'm a little scared that people would assume I'm this weird guy who loves hentai or something.
based autists being so uncool they can ruin someone's reputation just by association
It annoys me that they think I've given up or stopped studying the language because I don't mention it every second of every day.
implying they don't know exactly what you're doing and are taking bets on how soon you give up

I am going to be the one who kills this hole. It's that simple. I will make a post, and when my post is the last thing to have been posted for the last 7 days (is it still 7 days?) I will remove my post and then kill the hole.
Do not stand in my way.
