Yes. The Donetsk and Luhansk separatist republics were created by pro-Russian Ukranians with Moscow’s backing. Russia officially annexed them in 2022.
It’s all a bit complicated though. You have ethnic Russians who consider themselves Russian despite being born within the borders of what we known as Ukraine. You also have many who were born in Soviet Ukraine prior to the collapse of the USSR in 1991 who still feel an affinity for Russia. And pro-Russian politics have existed for as long as independent Ukraine has.
My guess is that even if the war ended today and the borders returned to the pre-2014 borders, there would still be a pro-Russian insurgency in eastern Ukraine for a very long time.
With their hound dog?
Don’t be ridiculous! How can a sunken ship magically rise from the ocean floor?
Fantastic news. I hope time and dying haven’t been too unkind to his voice.
It means griller. Someone who doesn’t have a strong opinion either way on a topic, or who seeks an impossible middle-way solution that pleases all sides.
In this context, OP wants a community that is both vegan and sufficiently accepting of non-vegans, which might be tough to find.
Is it 2024?
The Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077. I just can’t get into them at all. I’ve tried half a dozen times and just got bored after a few hours of gameplay time.
I’ve accepted that I just don’t like them. Games should be fun, not feel like a chore to play.
I let my agoraphobia get the better of me.
People who don’t even live in the USA saying “y’all” is pure pain
Damn those are some big cans
I wore over the top outfits. Suit jackets, headbands, waistcoats, bright red skinny jeans, leather biker jackets, fedoras, big glasses with fake lenses, studded belts, etc etc in all sorts of combos.
The fedora and waistcoat over a white dress shirt as casualwear is what I’m most ashamed of. I don’t know what in the hell I was thinking. I must have looked like a total dickhead around my normally dressed peers.
This was a phase that probably lasted no more than a year when I was about 18-19. I wish someone had told me that I looked ridiculous lmao
Voyager is the best for me. Used Apollo for Reddit for years on my iPhone, so Voyager on Android just feels familiar and comfortable. Like sleeping in your own bed.

When I remember to
On Tuesday I had a panic attack when I got in to work at 9am. It didn’t last long, only about 15-20 minutes, but I still don’t feel quite right even now. That’s usually the case with my panic attacks, it takes a while for me to reset afterwards. Sometimes weeks.
Right now I have this tense feeling in my head, which causes my jaw to tighten up and get an impulsive twitch. Usually seems to happen when I’m feeling anxiety. I have an urge to chew on something soft.
You’ve said exactly what I was thinking. The idea behind the body text was to avoid every comment being about climate catastrophe, which would be a bit boring because we’re all well aware of what’s going on.
