The totally hypothetical button thought experiment

A good charity can save a dozen lives with a 100k donation. It would take a few million button pushes until well-being of the global poorest gets so good that the cost of saving one life rises to 100k and you are no longer morally obligated to press.

Anyone else played Kolf?

Making the bed

Fun fact: it is scientifically proven that messy beds, thanks to more exposure to UV light and better distribution of that exposure per various points of surface, have lower populations of harmful microorganisms and are better for your health.

I live in a European country where cursive never fell out of use (in fact, I believe here your exam papers will not be accepted if you write them in anything but cursive). All I know about cursive state in America is that it was phased out, and now seems to be returning.

Tankie is a pejorative for those who defend socialist states.

Never heard it used against democratic socialists who acknowledged mistakes of the past.

The "authoritarian" part doesn't really make any sense, considering the Marxist analysis of authority is that what matters most is which class has the authority of the state.

So you believe there were no authoritarian socialist states in history? Ones that silenced critics, shot protesters, censored press and didn't have competitive elections? Lol.

Either way, the ethnic cleansing of the Donbass region was widely reported even by western organizations until 2022, then this was all wiped away and minimized.

This war killed almost half a million people already on all sides combined (if we believe Russian MoD, this number way exceeds a million). Do you think the “ethnic cleansing” would kill this much in a thousand years? According to DPR-operated media, only 17 people died in last years before 2022 on Donbas, most from uncleaned minefields.
