      If Zelenskyy dies, they will sing songs about him for the next hundreds of years like how Americans sing songs about Davy Crockett.

        So basically your saying he thought the west had won - that it's "values" were inevitable, that "rights" and other idealisms trump everything else. When you live next to a bear, living/acting like the lion has already laid down with the lamb is, well its not reality....excuse me as I mix metaphors ;)

        One newspaper reports that the moment the kid got off the ice, the coach Eteri Tutberidze started yelling at her: “Why did you let it go? Explain to me, why. Why did you stop fighting? You let it go after that axel. Why?” This meets the dictionary definition of psychotic.

        A couple of cycles ago the IOC almost dropped wrestling. I heard there is an event in this winter Olympics called "big air", which sums it all up in so many ways. I don't even like the athletes that much as they play the political/media/image/$money$ game to the same degree as all the others.

        I think ship builders and marine architects, etc, are super-skilled, highly professional people. This company is used to building big, expensive, boats. Maybe it's odd that this wasn't sorted out from the start. Overlooked? I'd suspect that they have a department that sorts this stuff out.

        Let those who want to talk dangerous crap talk dangerous crap. fine
        (Yes, making a big noise only promotes it)

        BUT...

        If an organisation pays vast amounts of money to a dangerous crap spreader, isn't that something to stand against?

        (...General principles. I haven't seen Joe Rogan)

        the Doctors Rogan interviews sometimes makes a innaccurate statement. Big whoopdie doo. This whole thing is not because " Joe spread disinformation". After seeing the McCullough and Malone interview, its quite evident the establishment is worried about all the true information being shared in those interviews that isnt being told in the MSM. This is why the media is trying to demolish Rogan credibility.

        I don't feel bad for her. I would like some accountability for the investors, tech bros, and all that who talked her company up, called her the next Steve Jobs, etc., when any due diligence at all would have raised serious questions. There's a real culture of bullshit in tech which is basically market manipulation for quick cash.
