My friend, you are doing the thing. You're saying it is everyone else that's the problem.

Can you cite some studies for this, please? Preferably reproduced, peer reviewed ones?

I don't mean to be mean, but I have heard things like this and from everything I have been able to gather, there's no evidence for being able to tell how someone is thinking just from their movements or tics.

This is why Ukraine is under immense pressure to get results out of the counteroffensive.

My friend, many, many planes that have been crashed have been serviced and returned to service, including airliners.

I know you don't want advice, but I want to share some information that may be important and helpful for you: recent studies have shown ulcers are essentially an infection and antibiotics have some success in treating them.

For too long doctors thought it had to do with stress or diet, but it's an infection.

You're not alone, but maybe we are? Everyone else seems to understand.

I watched Star Trek because my dad introduced me to it. I'm now a dad and I am sharing it with my kids.

I don't know you, and I don't know your family, but if your father liked Star Trek enough to introduce you to it, my guess is that he wouldn't want his death to take that away from you. If anything, my bet would be he'd hope it would bring you comfort and fond memories and hope for the future.

I hope you can get there when enough time has passed, and I hope this message might help it all hurt a little less.

I like the idea that life sucks so much that meth makes it better and the answer to that isn't to try to improve lives but to lock people up so life is even fuckin worse.

People are tired of bad news in general. It has nothing in particular to do with where this happened.

The Internet means that I, someone thousands of miles away, am now aware of the tragedies you are suffering, as well. Sometimes it seems like that much knowledge of suffering just wasn't what we were built to handle every day.

It's not you or where you live, it's just that humans can only take humans being awful to each other for so long before it becomes too much to bear.

As an outsider with no horse in the race, I thought this a good discussion.

In the end, I think maybe Quebec gets what it wants: I have no interest in visiting a place that tries to police its "culture" that much.

It wasn't an attempted coup, though, it was more keystone cops action from the Russian Federation.

I tend to agree with OC that these opinion polls don't matter. Putin is in control and until people closer to him change that, Russian citizens are along for the ride.
