I was glad to have a little money in my pocket today (thanks to some recent paid training). Midway through my daily walk, I got weak and sweaty, started trembling. I diverted to a nearby fast food place, where I obtained some soda pop and undercooked french fries. Much better now.

> it's okay when NATO does it? https://gnusocial.net/notice/15644053

You know, I thought since the end of the USSR that NATO should not exist any longer. The series of invasions from #Russia into #Ukraine convinced me that I was wrong. That's the difference between us.

You don't seem to learn from what happens in the world around us. In your mind, the US and Israel are "the axis of evil" and everyone else is oppressed by them. So allowing Ukraine to choose its own route isn't on your radar so long as that involves them resisting Russia's decision to choose for them.

> I just find it ironic that usnato expansion is celebrated while russia expansion is condemned. it's not like ukraine would be better off under either one. https://gnusocial.net/notice/15645832

Tell that to the people who were living there from 2014 onwards. Or, you know, to those who still remember the Holodomor--an intentionally engineered famine targeted at Ukraine and certain other regions. After Ukrainians died, the USSR moved Russians into Ukraine to take it over, and that's part of why the proxy rebellions in Luhansk and Donestk (liberally seeded with PMC Wagner mercenaries from the beginning) could happen.

> as the population and the government leaned towards an approximation with Russia https://gnusocial.net/notice/15646839

*Sigh* Will you wake up and do a little reading outside of your normal propaganda sources?

1. The people indicate to the government in 2004 that they want to move toward the European Union. The government doesn't listen, so they have the Orange Revolution. This is well documented. See for example https://html.duckduckgo.com/html?q=ukraine+orange+revolution+causes&t=lmddgtfy&kae=-1 and https://www.atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/ukrainealert/how-modern-ukraine-was-made-on-maidan/

2. In 2014, a leader ignores this and goes to Russia to try to move Ukraine deeper into the Russian orbit, leading to the EuroMaidan revolution. At this point, Russia fears the loss of its naval base at Sevastopol, so they invade Crimea and launch ersatz rebellions in Luhansk and Donetsk. https://html.duckduckgo.com/html?q=ukraine+maidan+revolution+causes&t=lmddgtfy&kae=-1

3. In 2022, the rebellious oblasts have not achieved the goals that were set, so Russia invades again, hoping to forcibly pull the whole country into their orbit. The invasion does not achieve anywhere near its expected objectives in the expected time frame.

4. In response, the RT propaganda repeaters on the right-wing start openly cheering anything positive for Russia, while the blame-the-US-first brigade on the extreme left do the same while pretending they just want both sides to leave Ukraine alone. <-- You are here.

I mean, I understand. You're a fanatic. And no inconvenient facts about the impact on people or the choices those people made are going to convince you that this isn't secretly the US and Russia dividing up Ukraine the way the Nazis and the USSR divided Poland.

The only thing I can hope is that you and those who think like you are not placed in a position where they get to enforce their views upon the people in that country. (And no, since you're likely to say the same to me, I don't want to force _my_ views on them either. I couldn't have wanted them to join "USNATO", as I didn't want NATO to exist.)

> I support Ukraine, the land of my mother's parents, not Russia's nor USNato's rule over it. https://gnusocial.net/notice/15649111

You support them so long as their decisions align with your twisted and distorted views. If they decide (as they did) that they want to join the European Union and align with Western Europe, you suddenly decide that they're not deciding for themselves, they are being deceived by USNato.

Well, gee, they have a neighbor who says they don't deserve their own nation, who has murdered thousands (some reports say up to a million) of their ancestors via starvation, who has colonized their lands with its own people, and who has at times banned their language and culture. That neighbor has definitely attempted over the past year to take away their nation and their ability to make their own choices. I can understand why they'd rather join someone else's group.

> you seem to assume USNato's protection comes at no cost in sovereignty, without realizing it's not unlike mafia protection.
"nice country you got there. t'would be a shame if Russia were to invade it. surely you wouldn't be able to defend yourself unless you were to join our empire, so why don't you?" https://gnusocial.net/notice/15649296

Who asked to join NATO years ago and who still hasn't approved the application? Doesn't the news tell you anything?

Yes, joining a military alliance (NATO), like joining an economic and political one (EU), comes with some requirements. If you'll recall, the UK left the EU ("Brexit") partly because of some of the requirements. And remember that France spent years where their NATO participation was limited to political liasing, so it isn't as much sovereignty loss as one might expect. How much did their membership in CIS cost them in sovereignty? How much did having Russian gas infrastructure integrated into their nation cost them in sovereignty?

You talk a lot about how joining either giant empire costs sovereignty, but you don't really talk about whether they have a real choice that will be respected to go a fully independent route. I don't believe Russia will respect such a choice, as they haven't respected their neighbor's choices so far.

  please don't waste your US-fed propaganda on me. it's the 50th anniversary of the Latin American 9/11, the US-supported coup in Chile. one out of many coups, invasions, bombings, blockades and more. let's not pretend any of the empires in this conflict are nice and for democracy, shall we?
  I've lived through the consequences of not one but three US-supported coups in my country, because the country's population dared choose democratically people who weren't submissive to the US. all three coups were violent, but in different ways, as the US refined its techniques. what happened in ukraine a few years ago, as the population and the government leaned towards an approximation with Russia, was little different from the disinformation campaigns that enabled congress to illegally remove an elected president, or the judicial fraud that prevented the people's by-far favorite candidate from running in the next election. there have been similar coups, attempted coups and campaigns in so many other countries that I've lost count. right now, the US is bombing several countries, but the Western propaganda makes people focus on Ukraine because that's in US's interest. both empires have training materials, vast experience and a long history of meddling with other countries to get at each other, and save for some surreal coincidence, Ukraine is just one of the current victims. to claim anything else is either dishonest or naïve. whoever wins in usnato x russia, ukraine lost

  How modern Ukraine was made on Maidan
  
  By Peter Dickinson from Atlantic Council
  
  Since 1991, Ukraine's two post-Soviet Maidan revolutions have helped define the country as an emerging democracy that seeks to escape from the orbit of authoritarian Russia and embrace Euro-Atlantic integration.

  friends and relatives are dying in Brazil because of the recent US-supported coups too, that landed a genocide in office. I understand you in Eastern Europe are scared of (and scarred by) the Russian empire, just as we in LatAm are scared of (and scarred by) the US empire. but the point I'm trying to make is that it's not good to be submissive to either empire. both suck in similar ways. both are plutocracies. neither will do you good once they gain power over you.
  FTR, I don't support Putin any more than I support Biden. suggesting otherwise is completely missing the point. both are public leading faces of plutocratic empires.
  I support Ukraine, the land of my mother's parents, not Russia's nor USNato's rule over it. green go, red go. got it?
  as for propaganda... do you recall any weapons of mass destruction in iraq? "unprovoked invasion" is the new "weapons of mass destruction". just as massive and destructive. just as much of a lie.
  assange is in jail under torture because he tried to inform us. now what we have left is propaganda, because even journalists are too scared to publish what the empires don't want to see published.
  now, that Ukraine so desperately needs NATO's support to stand up to the provoked invasion is why it lost, even if USNato wins. it's hard to doubt this is the intended and predicted outcome of the provocations. the invasion sucked so much for Russia that it's hard to imagine they'd have done if it they could have helped it. QED?

  I want both Putin and Biden out of Ukraine, so that it is free from tyranny from both sides. you don't seem to mind if Biden gets to rule over Ukraine, which wouldn't make Ukraine free from tyranny.
  you seem to assume USNato's protection comes at no cost in sovereignty, without realizing it's not unlike mafia protection.
  "nice country you got there. t'would be a shame if Russia were to invade it. surely you wouldn't be able to defend yourself unless you were to join our empire, so why don't you?"
  the US can be pretty nice when they're trying to seduce you. but after you get into the abusive relationship, it's not so nice any more. no, it's not nicer than Putin, it only begins differently.

@simsa03 What I don’t see in this article is any plans to locate these batteries 🔋 away from populated areas and important resources. A fire 🔥 is rare, but when it happens, people in nearby communities are told to “shelter in place” as chemical laden smoke 💨 swirls around and in their homes, as if the building will magically detoxify the air they breathe; completely ignoring any danger of residual compounds getting into the lakes, rivers, and groundwater. No wonder people are spooked.

Even anti NIMBYs would oppose it under such circumstances.

Good article. Looks like they did lots of research.

In the Atlantic, #Hurricane #Lee reached category five strength, expected to pass Northeast of the Caribbean in a few days. The Bahamas 🇧🇸 and the Turks and Caicos 🇹🇨 should stay alert. Likewise the US East Coast and Atlantic Canada. Dangerous surf and swells for all nearby coasts and islands. https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/

Also, #TropStorm #Margot has formed. Expected to be a “fish storm”, as it will not affect any land areas.

@simsa03 It sounds pretty cool.

I've been using Chocolatey, which is a similar idea. I've even started uninstalling programs that I had installed directly, so I can use Chocolatey to install and update them.

One of the things that I find bothersome is when you log into Windows and twelve different programs pop up notifications to update them. Hopefully, winget will help you to avoid that.
