Time. That is what is wrong with her....or lacking of it. Women has very limited time for child bearing compare to men. Give and take is around 20-25 years. Anything beyond that will be very difficult even if you factor in modern medicine. Risk of deffective birth is also very high for late age pregnancy. Being nice to people telling is ok is not really good in her scenario.
Go back study (in area ultra domninated by men). Join church. Change your job. Move to another country. The idea here is you need to change your social circle. The one you are in definitely not conducive to you in the romance area. You likely have very high expectation. You do need to change it to lower your expectation, but doing it on your own based on your current situation will be next to impossible. Do the changes I suggest above, the rest will take care itself.
Depends at what stage. Current abortion friendly states do allow killing unborn babies at 7-9mths pregnacies. They follow your definition of fetus isnt people even though these "fetus" can survive even back 100 years ago without modern healthcare interventions. With modern healthcare, the number can dip as low as 4-5mths. Essentially you are ok with exterminating babies (the moment this fetus pull out of the world they are babies and can survive and actually some do cry but executed in abortion clinics). Not every pregnacies are at the first few weeks of pregnacies. Those if you choose to consider as non people fetus, a lot will agree. Unfortunately majority of pregnancies are terminated in the range of 4-9mths. I suggest you do a bit of research a dark market exist of those fetus organic materials that these clinics are engaged in. Think for a second, these clinics are not free to operate. The people coming in for the service isnt paying exorbitant fees like those in typical hospitals charging patients or insurance. Something else must befunding these...if you say tax, then isnt it weird, people getting forced to pay for others misadventure? The ruling is exactly that. Some states that are pro can go on as usual. Some states that are not pro, can stop funding it. At the end of day each states behavior dictate by the people votes. Why a small minority groups insist everyone else to food their bills?
Work in HR. Have been in this industry for decades. There is at least half of companies I dealt with will not hire those from gambling-type of industries (this include crypto). Moral has nothing to do with it. It reflects on people who work there with a specific type of behavior. Exception do given on those working for short stints like less than a year. But the longer one is in that kind of industry the stronger their "specific behaviors" ingrained in them and hence many employers exclude them from being hired. This is more of oral things and wont appear in any emails or paper trails.
If there is nukes war, it will basically wipe out USA and likely UK as well. Russia probably has significant losses as well but due to its size and terrain plus population density, Russia will eke out a winning population to continue Russia as a nationhood after the war. US will be just left as a oral tradition. I don't think other countries will be affected much other than loss in trading opportunities in dollar. Russia has significantly more nukes than all western countries combined. And that is official numbers. They have their own uranium mines and even US has to import from them. So the number of nukes will be significantly more in the unofficial numbers. Plus, they have access to China as production centres for all the widget they needed. While US by their own suspicion paranoid manner wouldnt engage China for such production needs. With US and UK gone, whatever left as NATO will ceased to exist as they have very little nukes left to counter the remaining nuke countries.
Lol no. I don't know what it is with the fear porn over nukes. If you're more than 8 miles from the city that gets nuked you just have to stay inside for a week and you'll survive with a slightly higher chance of getting cancer. Your windows will probably get blown out and you'll have to tape trash bags over them but keep in mind that's a sonic effect; the wavefront from the blast is what causes it, not actual material from the site which takes much longer to propagate. Fallout particles are large and only suspend, not dissolved, in the air. So all you have to do to avoid it is stay inside and wait for the low half life radioisotopes to decay.
Given the awful state of most US cities a nuclear war could arguably improve the US.
> If you're more than 8 miles from the city that gets nuked
Even if you're less than that distance, you've a fairly decent chance depending on local geography and the building you're in. The inverse square law helps a lot.
A lot of cancers have origin in virus infections. HPVs have been proven to do so. And we have finally conquer those cancers coming from HPV with HPV vaccines. Recently, MS has also been proven to originate from Epstein-Barr virus. If we wish to bring cancer under control, research into roles of virus and perhaps bacteria (e.g.stomache ulcers) will yield better results. We already have tools to tackle these vectors very effectively. The problem now is everyone is more excited to look at the cancer growth and no the tiny microorganism that cause it.
Doesn't work this way. Might is right. You are talking emotionally. Ukraine is fighting this alone with not much military assistance. Why on earth Russia leaves and pay? Who is the law enforcer and judicial system ensuring that happen? Oh yeah whoever has the biggest gun AND willing to use it. Hey, that happens to be Russia too.

That is a nice reasoning and you are right: Russia is able to commit atrocities.
Where you go wrong is that the comment you were replying to was not talking about their ability but their options. The grand parent comment said: (paraphrasing) “Hey, what can Russia do, if no one licences them software?” To which the comment you responded said (again paraphrasing) “They have the option to stop the war”.
You are not disputing that Russia has the option to retreat, you are just talking about how they are strong and nobody can force them. Which might be true, might be false but certainly is a complete non sequitur in the context of this conversation.

This is why, for the sack of my families and friends and many people I know worldwide, I want Zelenskyy to surrender. In 20 years of surrender, Putin probably dead, and new regime will very likely change their "economically ezpensive" policy and set Ukraine free. If we all hell bent like Zelenskyy, in 20 years after WW3, most of you either won't be around, severely maimed or broken person with many dead remembrance. Pick one. I know 100% what I want to choose. You?
You want him and the Ukrainians to suffer a 20 year long oppression/genocide so that you can sleep a little better?
It shouldn't be your place to choose that for them. If that's what you want (and you live in Europe/the West) then why don't you start a movement so Russia can install nukes/bases in your country, then they can leave Ukraine alone.
Superiority complex is a westerner thing (eg. Semite, aryan, American white). Chinese historically has no notion of racial superiority like Nazi Germany or even Imperial Japanese. They don't even consider blood purity like Japanese. Their cultural norms is to preserve what they own. Like HK, Macao, Tibet and Taiwan. They will take decades or centuries to get it back because that is what they own even if it is millenia ago. The closest this idea would be Israel...but unlike them Chinese dont view it as God-given. It is more like it is because it is as nature dictate. China and Russia wont be allies for long because of difference in races. But as long it serves their immediate purpose they will do so. Read up how Jin fall to Mongol because the sourthern Song want to appease the Mongol. In the end they fall too. The northern also killed their best general because that can buy appeasement with Mongols. Chinese historically is like that all in tactically but very short-sighted when it comes to long-term strategy.
Russia gets bogged down is simply a fictional hope here. You should read up how Russia mowed down Hitler. How Russia destroyed Grozny beyond recognition and garnered the survivors's immense loyalty (brainwashed). As long as no countries helping Ukraine militarily, Ukraine losses is inevitable. The only question is just when and how many dead. USA cannot help without risking destruction of Taiwan (1/3 USA navy is on the other side of the planet) and Israel (Iran going nukish). If you observe Putin, unlike American, he hasn't send in the war his best, while Ukrainian has been bleeding their best on the frontline (very similar to Hitler's crack troops against Russian worst back then). As more and more civilians get boxed in and then cut off from outside, Ukrainian military will get weaker and weaker to feed their civilians. In ancient Chinese warfare it was routinely their rule of engagement to exterminate any additional mouth that won't contribute to winning the war. As for Putin, he has a lot of old Soviet stocks that need to dispose of. This war is a perfect excuse to replenish his arms once this is over. So overall, we as worldwide citizen should get Ukrainian to surrender because
1. Less people die
2. Less damages to Ukraine to preserve their cultural identity
3. Ukrainian diaspora spread worldwide will one day have influence and clout to come back to rebuild Ukraine. Putin cannot live long just like Stalin.
But alas, everybody just gotten too emotionally gratifying to cheer and help Zelenskyy to piedpiperred his people to doom like the Battle of Hattin.
You are delusional, very clearly Russia has not succeeded as expected. It's not some master strategy going on here, Putin thought it would be over by now according to lots of evidence, from misprint in Russian news agency, presence of riot gear in many of the destroyed convoys. Maybe Russia can grind out a "win" but they definitely didn't intend to have lots of equipment and personnel losses to soften up the Ukrainians like you're saying
Go watch the map. See the big picture in Russia military strategy. Setback is common in war. If Putin complete his objectives in 2 years, it still beats Americans in Iraq and Afghan 20 years. Even better than Korean and Vietnam war. Even better than Libyan and Syrian wars. In absolute terms Russian lost way more than Hitler. In fact a Tiger easily destroyed 20+ Russian tanks towards the end of the WW2. You are thinking like George Bush Jr of "mission accomplished" photo ops 20 years ago. Russian simply dont fight short war. They fight effective war of attrition. They dont have rule of engagement like USA. They mowed you down when you are down. Kiev is now about to get boxed in with the last bridge about to be blown up. All the destroyed Russian equipments are old stocks. Their Ratnik elite soldiers havnt even make appearance. You are talking emotionally. I am talking logically even if it is extremely unpopular and get downvoted heavily.
the reason why you think your point is unpopular and heavily downvoted is not because people are outraged by your views (I only speak for myself). But because of your name-calling and jumping to conclusions about how others form their opinion. I didn't even care about your points and it has taken a lot of my energy to weed out what you actually bring to the table because it feels like listening to somebody being angry.
It's a highly questionable form of communication that won't sit well with people who are already not aligned with your views. Even less likely you change minds this way. The effect of this style of discourse is that by calling your opposition deluded and out of the loop of what you believe is the truth, is that you will only get them to back down on their believe.
Because why would anyone sign into HN just to be insulted? More importantly, if your points do have value (and I'm sure some of them do) they will be drowned out by the name-calling.
The sad thing is that any value you may bring will not be evaluated by your peers if the basics of discourse are already violated. It's nice to be nice and won't cost you anything. On the other hand how can somebody be right on any subjects if that person has never learned to engage in healthy dialogue to discuss these subjects with anyone holding different views? Even they are correct they will not sharpen their mind with the same potential they could. For you it's counter-productive because nobody will ever give you a seat at the table even you would bring in a refreshing new angle.
I'm not attacking you nor do I care about your downvotes, but consider getting help because it's likely a pattern that you have learned from your environment and it will certainly hold you back. And you can actually sharpen these things if you surround yourself with a different crowd. HN is a perfect place to grow. But it just takes time. Good luck.
If you don't understand the difference between WW2 and today... Even worse not understanding the difference between Iraq and Ukraine.
Do you not realize we live in a global economy and Russia is being cut off? There was no global economy during WW2. The U.S. was not cut off for invading Iraq. The Russian economy is in shambles they cannot fight a long war in their current state.
