Given how a breakup can be a precipitating event for self-harm in teens, this seems like a wise thing to do.

Whoa... I'm glad that you're still with us!

It seems like Armenia is looking to Greece, which is a smart move, and also could be a way to involve the EU more broadly.

Mmmm exactly, well said! The people who want to fragment the world aren't doing it for the good of anyone except themselves.

I agree, it would be a disaster for the species as a whole, even the ones far from the heart of the crisis.

No doubt that's why India wants to get there first.

You certainly aren't wrong, but it's worth remembering that what those regions could sustain in terms of population is orders of magnitude fewer people than the populations which exist today. What happens when billions of people fight over resources that can sustain only a tenth of that number?

All of those net importers of food suddenly without food to import, power plants and water treatment plants which can only be maintained with Western parts and/or aid. It would be an absolute horror and it would be quick relatively speaking, a few years at most.

Of course is Western Europe vanished, MENA would starve and implode.

Where did you get "worshiping Russia" from what I said?

That's a weird thing to make up.

That very well could be, Armenia and Greece share a common enemy in Turkey after all, and Russia responds poorly to countries leaving their sphere of influence.

Armenia needs to wake up and realize that Russia is their enemy, not their guarantor of safety, and seek allies elsewhere.

Like everyone everywhere, they didn't think about it.

Try telling people here that the issue needing to be addressed is how many kids people have, you just get shrieks of "eugenics!"

So instead we're just... defaulting... as a species.

By all means Orban, leave the EU, no one is going to stop you from dragging Hungary out; in fact we'll celebrate.

Leave NATO next, and in general, just fuck off forever.

...Well I have to say that's nowhere on my bingo card.

Not all CNS depressants are born equal.

Something like morphine (or any μ-agonist), which strongly depresses the breathing reflex, has a much more narrow therapeutic index than for example, alcohol. Benzodiazepines don't depress respiratory function on their own, but when mixed with alcohol or opiates they have a synergistic effect that can be lethal.

Edit: More than one reply pointed out that this was less than layperson accessible, I hope the following helps somewhat.

μ-agonist: A type of receptor found in the brain and the GI tract among other places. Agonist just means something that binds to those receptors and makes them work. Opioids are a well known example of these substances.

Therapeutic Index: How much of a drug it takes to have the desired effect, compared to how much of the drug causes toxicity. Some medications have a very broad therapeutic index, many antibiotic types are the classic example of this.

Depressed Respiratory Function: In this case it's all about the signals your brain sends to keep you breathing. Opioids are famous for depressing that part of your brain, sometimes with lethal consequences. Benzodiazepines are not really known for this, although technically they do have some effect.

Reborn with holoprosencephaly that is, while a doctor stands over it shaking its head, and trying to explain to Dear Leader that this is simply not "compatible with life."

So sad. Too bad.

It's a terrible source, which is presumably why OP chose it; it's just a Qatari influence operation.

Now this... this is world news. How could anyone go about their day without knowing this?!

It's Chinese propaganda to call out Chinese propaganda?

That's some powerful doublethink!

I wonder just what exactly people who are downvoting you expect to happen? This isn't going to go their way and that doesn't mean that people aren't gonna support them in general. It just means that when it comes to sports biology could be an unfair advantage.

Things get a little freaky near the very ends of the tails of a normal distribution, it has nothing to do with this.

Screw acknowledgement, stopping protecting pedophiles. Stop shuffling them around. Stop insisting that they be dealt with internally and START reporting them to law enforcement.

Show, don't tell, you evil bastards.

> Seriously what country do you come from that has such impeccable moral standing?

Compared to Apartheid SA and corrupt af ANC SA?

Anywhere.

We get it we get it, you played Deus Ex and Horizon.
