It been posted 15 hours. No mapper reported any Ukrainian gains

The funny thing is that Russia burned through large numbers of critical reinforcements, armour, vehicles, artillery and ammo to open this new front. If they lose it they gained nothing except destroying more Ukrainian cities.

Redditor shows his high IQ

But this article proves that 18 brigades can't kick out 6 Russian brigades and even losing ground to those 6 brigades

Ukrainian troops have successfully stabilized the area, with analysts estimating that around 38,000 Ukrainian soldiers are deployed in this direction, compared to approximately 14,000 Russian troops.

Zelenskyy told a week ago that Russian at that front losing 8 men for 1 Ukrainian

And before it he told Russian losing 1000 men a day in that direction. So how come 14k men that lose 1k+ men a day fighting 38k men that lose 125 men a day and still exist after more than 2 weeks ?

This is Ukrainian KDA advantage being fabed and tos-2'sed hard and on top of it Russian actually build fortifications lines. When they pushed in Kharkiv they started building fortifications for 10 days without moving forward waiting for Ukrainian l'epic counter offensive so Russian bait actually worked

Let's look at more high iq Redditors

Jake Broe talked about it the other day, Russia has been trying to rush their summer offensive before the reinforcements from US arrived, and it has failed.

There was never pause in delivery of weapons to Ukraine and it was even proudly admitted

Wouldn't that also mean, that a concentrated force is a far easier target for HIMARS and artillery?

Of course they cope in 2024 about HIMARS and JDAMS

Like for real jdams were getting jammed before they were officially introduced in Ukraine

We said from the beginning this was putin's last ditch Ardennes Offensive, before Ukraine received too much new military aid to overcome, and it was as doomed to fail as the actual Ardennes Offensive.

Homosexual also told spring counteroffensive

That is 38K highly motivated biolab soldiers versus 14K highly demotivated blyats.

It's interesting that neighbor don't even ask how 14k Russian are able to hold 38k Ukrainian with 8 KDA

And of course they don't ask how is Ukrainian not striking Russian soil with rockets launchers yet bomb Belgorod ?

And Macron admitted this event

On this paper blue is Ukrainian strikes and blue is on Belgorod

So Ukrainian were striking Belgorod with Czech rocket launchers RM-70 (that uses himars missiles), Ukraine also used nato tech on Russian soils with attack on Belgorod and even lost a black hawk before Russian attacked Kharkiv and now when Ukraine will strike Belgorod with himars (launcher). Think about it, it's a game changer. That will be forgotten in 2 weeks like 160 billions that Ukraine already received this year and Ukraine is asking for more now

Like what's wrong with them ? How can they live in such parallel universe ? And worst they telling about helping Ukraine yet they don't enlist and if this conflict gets bigger they won't enlist.

If you don't follow intellectual midgets Noah S and Matty Y you are missing out on some of the worst takes there are.

This isn't a troll post and I hope for a serious discussion. When I was younger and engaged in a sexual act with another man I would always feel a huge sense of shame and guilt afterwards. Before you ask, no I wasn't raised Christian nor was I raised to be against such sexual vices yet I felt guilty and shameful like I never did before. I think this guilt in itself is almost proof there's a god or greater being or force that engraves law into us all. The experience almost made me become religious. I don't think I'd ever do anything sexual with another man again.

During World War II, while trying to stock a remote island in the Bering Sea with an emergency food source, the U.S. Coast Guard set in motion a classic experiment in the boom and bust of a wildlife population.

The island was St. Matthew, an unoccupied 32-mile-long, four-mile-wide sliver of tundra and cliffs in the Bering Sea, more than 200 miles from the nearest Alaska village.

In 1944, the Coast Guard installed a loran (long range aids to navigation) station on St. Matthew to help captains of U.S. ships and aircraft pilots pinpoint their locations. The Coast Guard put 19 men on the island to operate the station.

In August 1944, the Coast Guard released 29 reindeer as a backup food source for the men. Barged over from Nunivak Island, the animals landed in an ungulate paradise: lichen mats 4 inches thick carpeted areas of the island, and the men of the Coast Guard station were the reindeer's only potential predators.

The men left before they had the chance to shoot a reindeer. With the end of World War II approaching, the Coast Guard pulled the men from the island. St. Matthew's remaining residents were the seabirds that nest on its cliffs, McKay's snow buntings and other ground-nesting birds, arctic foxes, a single species of vole and 29 reindeer.

St. Matthew then had the classic ingredients for a population explosion: a group of healthy large herbivores with a limited food supply and no creature above them in the food chain. That's what Dave Klein saw when he visited the island in 1957.

Klein was then a biologist working for U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. He is now a professor emeritus with the University of Alaska Fairbanks' Institute of Arctic Biology. The first time he hiked the length of St. Matthew Island in 1957, he and field assistant Jim Whisenhant counted 1,350 reindeer, most of which were fat and in excellent shape. Klein noticed that reindeer had trampled and overgrazed some lichen mats, foreshadowing a disaster.

Klein did not get a chance to return to the island until summer 1963, when a Coast Guard cutter dropped him and three other scientists off on the island. As their boots hit the shore, they saw reindeer tracks, reindeer droppings, bent-over willows, and reindeer after reindeer.

“We counted 6,000 of them,” Klein said. “They were really hammering the lichens.”

The herd was then at a staggering density of 47 per square mile. Klein noted the animals' body size had decreased since his last visit, as had the ratio of yearling reindeer to adults. All signs pointed to a crash.

Other commitments and the difficulty of finding a ride to St. Matthew kept Klein away until summer 1966, but he heard a startling report from men on a Coast Guard cutter who had gone ashore to hunt reindeer in August 1965. The men had seen dozens of bleached reindeer skeletons scattered over the tundra.

When Klein returned in summer 1966, he, another biologist and a botanist found the island covered with skeletons. They counted only 42 live reindeer, no fawns, 41 females and one male with abnormal antlers that probably wasn't able to reproduce. During a few months, the reindeer population had dropped by 99 percent.

Klein figured that thousands of reindeer starved during the winter after his last visit.

With no breeding population, the reindeer of St. Matthew Island died off by the 1980s. The unintended experiment in population dynamics and range ecology ended as it began — with winds howling over a place where arctic foxes are once again the largest mammals roaming the tundra.

Man pleads guilty to making 12,000 harassing calls to Congress members

Ade Salim Lilly of Queens placed the calls over 18 months in 2022 and 2023 from Maryland and Puerto Rico, where he was arrested in November, prosecutors said.

A Queens man pleaded guilty Thursday to threatening to kill a congressional aide and to making more than 12,000 harassing phone calls to members of Congress over an 18-month period in 2022 and 2023, federal prosecutors in Washington, D.C. announced.

Ade Salim Lilly, 35, pleaded guilty to one count of making interstate communications with a threat to kidnap or injure, punishable by up to five years in prison, and making repeated telephone calls, which carries up to a two-year prison term. He is scheduled to be sentenced Aug. 28 in Washington before U.S. District Judge Timothy J. Kelly.

“Threatening another person's safety or life is a crime, not protected speech,” Matthew Graves, the U.S. attorney for D.C., said in a statement. “This case should send a clear message that while people are secure in their rights to express themselves, they are not allowed to threaten people and those who do will be held accountable.”

An attorney for Lilly could not immediately be reached for comment.

According to court documents, beginning in February 2022 and continuing until his arrest in Puerto Rico in November 2023, Lilly made thousands of telephone calls to about 54 congressional offices across the country, with about half of the calls placed to offices in D.C.

Lilly placed the calls while he was in Maryland or Puerto Rico, and most were answered by congressional staff members or interns, prosecutors said. Lilly became angry and used vulgar and harassing language in the calls, and in at least one call threatened to kill or injure his listener, according to court papers. Staffers and Capitol Police repeatedly asked him to stop calling and warned that his unwanted calls were harassing and barred by law, but Lilly masked his phone number, prosecutors said.

“I will kill you, I am going to run you over, I will kill you with a bomb or grenade,” prosecutors said Lilly told an aide in a call to an office in D.C. on Oct. 21, 2022. He was arrested in Puerto Rico in November by agents deployed by U.S. Capitol Police.

The government has no evidence that Lilly actually planned to carry out the threats, according to plea papers. A statement of his offense signed by the defendant and submitted by prosecutors did not specify exactly how Lilly made so many calls but said that in at least seven cases, staffers would stop answering the phone once they knew Lilly was targeting the office for harassment.

In those cases, Lilly would repeatedly ring the office, such as one office he called 500 times on Feb. 27 and 28 in 2023, and another office he called 200 times between Feb. 6 and 27, according to plea papers.

The debut of Concord at Sony's PlayStation State of Play hasn't been as well received as Sony and developer Firewalk would've hoped. In the hours since Concord's first trailer and gameplay were revealed, the game has been hit with an overly negative response from g*mers.

As of publishing, Concord's cinematic reveal trailer has a 76.99% negative rating while its gameplay trailer has an 82.39% dislike rate. And the comments from fans haven't been any better, with Concord being panned for numerous things ranging from appearing like another Overwatch clone to having “no soul”.

“The cutscene sold me on an adventure,” said one commenter. “The very next words out [of] the developer's mouth is 5v5 FPS.”

Said another, “It's like Guardians of the Galaxy meets Suicide Squad meets Overwatch.”

Concord is a 5v5 hero shooter set in the new Concord galaxy. The game sees players take control of one of a number of “Freegunners”, each having different abilities.

“The Freegunners roam the stars taking high-stakes jobs on worlds across Wild space, where they face other fiercely competitive Freegunner crews,” game director Ryan Ellis said. “From match-to-match, you'll form your team of Freegunners with other players and battle it out with rival crews to take home the reward across a variety of maps and modes.”

He added: “While our core gunplay will feel familiar to shooter fans, the versatility and variety of each Freegunner and their abilities makes it so aim and thumbskill alone aren't always enough to come out on top.”

The game launches on August 23, 2024, for PlayStation 5 and PC. !g*mers
