I believe there is clear evidence/jurisprudence showing that (at least some of the trustworthy) VPN providers donnot keep ANY data.

I hooe there’s no musicians with 6 fingers on one hand

Elon = moron*c^2

Maybe not anymore. And I like that. Because it comes very close to hidden fees.

These times are increasingly giving me the eerie feeling that we have forgotten very, very important lessons that we learned in the previous century. Is fascism making a very powerful comeback?

Admiral Akbar noises

This title almost reads like The Onion.

On a serious note, why? These people (on both sides) have enough money saved, health benefits etc to comfortably retire. Why don’t they? Are they so bought and paid for that their ‘investors’ won’t let them?

I feel like that’s a wrong definition, here is one more broadly used:

imperialism | IM’pIerIalIz(a)m | noun [mass noun] a policy of extending a country’s power and influence through colonization, use of military force, or other means

So the use of military (Wagner) force also constitutes it. Also, the size of that country has nothing to do with it.

TL;DR: angry man yells at cloud

Europe would be better for it, right? And a competitor can release a product that does follow regulations

My brother in climate change, we don’t always have to pick a team. We can say neocolonialism/imperialism is bad, no matter by whom it is perpetrated.

The size of the economy of a country trying to profit from another does not have any impact on this. It is completely possible to say it is reprehensible of France to try and benefit from an African country, exactly in the same way as it would be for Russia to do the same thing, maybe with the same methods, maybe with other methods.

Maybe I’m getting old, but I also don’t really like it when someone’s against argument is calling it cringe.

Just a short answer here. Firsly, really good of you to ask for help instead of letting anger, sadness and frustration (that are understandably there) take over.

Even though I have no ecperience of my own with sex workers, it does seem a good idea. If something like this becomes too much of an issue it will become a self-fulfilling prophecy. On that though: I would consider hiring an escort instead of a red light district kind of situation. Losing your virginity is an intimate afgair, nice not to be rushed because you only have 20-30 minutes. Tell her in advance. Consider going to the same 2-3 times, as sex the first time can be awkward and quick, or not happen at all because of performance issues associated with the mental pressure - that is normal and OK.

As for dating, and this is the ugly truth, desperation is a stinky cologne. Thats why I think the sex worker could be an interesting angle for now. Work out your issues with a therapist, focus on meeting people who share your passions instead of looking for passion for now. To me, that’s where the magic happens. Good luck OP, feel free to keep us posted!

At 199.95 seems like a bargain for potentially life saving advice!

Wait, don’t publish the names of the countries! Otherwise Nestlé and Coca-Cola won’t be able to contain themselves, move there and make the problem even worse.

Isn’t there a highly increased risk for floods when you get severe rainfall after a drought?

Don’t forget about Puerto Rico, Guam and D.C.

In principle, it’s hard to argue against the fact that weapons manufactorers producing arms for any side, also Russia are profiting from armed conflicts. My comment was more regarding actual people, amd ideologically I believe even the people who own weapons producer stocks aren’t getting happier from living in a world of conflict, even if they get a tiny bit richer from it.

That being said, your implication is that America is the big winner. It was my impression that this whole operation was Russia’s idea. Are you suggesting the Russian government are actually puppets for America of their arms manufactorers?
