in addition to mineral deposits they also have natural gas and historically a good amount of people in the developed cities well trained in math, programming, and technical sciences.
They could have been an economic powerhouse in 21st century if they weren’t beholden to Putin and oligarchy.
Sounds comfy. Could depend on the spinal support and alignment though. A cot keeps you off uneven ground. FWIW
My man, you need a better bed. I get this whenever I sleep on a shit bed somewhere.
If you’re camping take a cot
We need a “fuck pedestrians” instance for this one guys
Fuckin bullshit. I’ve seen the cave paintings - they were throwing those fuckers
Believe it or not I also don’t wear shoes inside the house 😁
Sorry - not true. This dog lives on the couch and has barely set foot outside.
They come with paw feet naturally. I want that too, not to go harden my foot pads by walking on rocks and buying fancy nature shoes
I would love to see a picture of your paw feet 😂
Thumbs are cool. I’m talking paw feet
You seem angry :-p
Thanks my dude. I was just asking you an honest question. Appreciate the information
Thanks, great read. Appreciate it. That was one example but you mentioned two - are you thinking of some of the broader disinformation applications in addition to the data gathering mentioned?
Please elaborate for the uneducated
Correct.
In Latvia the reason they are even having this discussion is because when USSR were occupiers they suppressed the local language (Latvian) with a brutal police regime, concentration camps, and the forced migration of ethnic Russians.
So yes - exactly. Moscovite Russia/ USSR started a cultural genocide in Latvia. This is just the fallout
I know two teachers personally. This is not the case in my discussions with them and others. Maybe you can enlighten me on what does take 10 hours of time daily?
From speaking them they are absolutely not working from 8:0am - 6:00pm on every day.
Lesson plans are inherited from prior teachers and … yes continuously updated during the year but not at a major time cost every day. Grading takes a few hours for one day either on the weekend or in the evening.
And yes they complain about it constantly… it seems more a cultural thing. They also complain about other teachers complaining 🤣
I’m not touching the issue of summers off because yes that is a different thing, and yes it’s quite hard for them to get real employment.
Again salaries should be higher and support teachers not assuming they can work in the summer… but why conflate this with the daily hours ( which are frankly good as stated by those who I know in the profession as a reason they like and took the job)
Teachers are horrendously underpaid, but they need to stop complaining about the “hours”. It rings disingenuous to most who know the job.
Unless they are taking afterschool roles they work generally 8-3:00 with a potentially a few hours of work after for grading and lesson planning. This is along with numerous holidays / admin days during the school year.
I say this knowing personally a few teachers who complain about hours, and it seems to be a cultural thing not based in their reported real experiences.
The salary is shit, at least for non-senior roles in my state, but that is not a lot of hours relative to the average wage earner.
I mean… it was pretty bad but also clearly a slip of tongue as it didn’t confuse the sentence or message - not great though , fuck the DNC

There is a fun Netflix documentary where a guy creates his own cult: Kumare.
In the end he feels bad for taking advantage of peoples’ trust particularly when vulnerable and has a semi-sincere apology for including them in his project.
So the first requirement is you need to be a bit of a sociopath or a true believer (aka a bit crazy)
