Abraham lincoln won a presidential election in civil-war-torn America in 1864, and fdr secured his fourth term in 1944 while American troops were in action across the globe. Winston Churchill, by contrast, avoided the electorate until the war in Europe was over in 1945, at which point he was turfed out.

Ukraine's constitution is confusing. Article 103 states that the president is elected for a five-year term; but Article 108 says that he or she exercises power until a new president is inaugurated. A longstanding law (though not a constitutional provision) says that elections cannot be held when martial law is in force, as it has been in Ukraine since Russia began its full-scale invasion in February 2022.

I love how they ignoring that martial laws ends on 19 May and that Ukraine is parliamentary country where parliament has more power and there should been parliament election in October or November 2023 and now parliament can't prolong the martial laws that they extended for 3 months in February because Parliament lost its power in March. So ignore that detail that doesn't suit them.

As the war drags on, Mr Zelensky's popularity will be tested further. Already his star power is waning. Some Ukrainians wonder if a different leader could have fought more effectively, or found a way to negotiate some kind of peace. The president insists his aim is still to recover all of Ukraine's lost land, which seems unachievable. The government is under fire for alleged corruption and the centralisation of power in the hands of a tiny circle. It has bungled the mobilisation of fresh troops: many front-line units are down to 70% or so of their strength. After a long delay, a new conscription law is in place, but it will take months for its effects to be felt on the battlefield.

It's hilarious how they trying to end every paragraph with a positive note

Khohols don't want to fight the mobilisation is their 24/7 whole year. Sending men more notes won't fix it. All who wanted to fight already joined the army. You don't see men returning from west to blast their bussy for Zelenskyy. And 70% soldiers are saying they will leave Ukraine after this conflict ends. Yet homosexual end the pragraph with “it will take months for its effects to be felt on the battlefield” like it ever will be felt.

Ukraine should be able to resist, and in the coming months it will be bolstered by a new package of military and financial aid approved by America's Congress in April. But still, Mr Zelensky needs to address rather than evade the questions raised by the end of his formal presidential term. He should acknowledge that he needs eventually to hold an election, and lay out plans for how one might be organised. It will be hard: Russia will doubtless bar voting in areas it occupies and bomb polling booths in areas it doesn't. But a country as ingenious as Ukraine can surely find ways to give its people a proper say in how they are governed. One of the many reasons why they don't want to be swallowed by Russia is that Russians under Mr Putin have no such choice. Rather than suspend democracy indefinitely, Mr Zelensky should lay out plans to strengthen it. ■

Ukraine already getting help, they launched couple hundreds ATACMS since February when they didn't had officially aid but Biden “secretly” pushed it. So there won't be any wunderwaffel. This bs is more pathetic than epic spring counteroffensive and leopards. Khohols are saying they preparing new counteroffensive for 2027. By that time they won't have any men left. Zelenskyy told by lowering age from 27 to 25 he will mobilise 300k while there literally ain't that many men in Ukraine in that age barracks and age Barack 18-20/21 don't exist anymore since people were underage 2 years ago and left the country. So even if he lowers to 18 there won't be 300k to mobilise

Dogs on the loose, soiled knees

My brain's been bruised, I can't see

The signs tell me to turn back, can't hesitate to learn

And there is much to lose, they claim, when the peepee ditches its hood, not the least of which is sexual satisfaction. Though research in this area has yielded inconsistent results, Denniston, for one, has no doubt that the foreskin contains tissue with erogenous properties.

In particular, an area called the “ridged band,” the wrinkly skin at the end of the foreskin, is loaded with nerve endings that are stimulated by motion during intercourse or masturbation. If a man is circumcised as an infant, says Denniston, he has been robbed of sensitivity without his consent.

“The ridged band is important for sexual joy. No one has a right to take that away from someone.”

The foreskin also protects a man's female sexual partners, says Denniston. First, an intact peepee glides in the foreskin during intercourse, reducing friction. Second, the exposed glans of a circumcised peepee becomes coarser over time, a process known as keratinization, and is more abrasive to the internal mucous membrane of the vagina.

“You take the foreskin away and let the glans callus and you end up irritating the heck out of the vaginal mucosa,” says Denniston. “Everyone in the US uses lubricants because the basic function of sexual intercourse has been disrupted.”

I love how his voice tone changed

It is difficult to treat anovulatory infertility in obese women because, as mentioned above, the obese women have a lower chance of conception following ART as they require a higher dosage of gonadotropin, respond poorly to ovarian stimulation, and have a higher risk of miscarriage.

It's time for Reddit

https://old.reddit.com/r/TryingForABaby/comments/10j5gxy/obesity_and_fertility/?sort=controversial

Weight as a standalone factor does not cause infertility. There is evidence to suggest that people on the high end and on the low end of the BMI scale have a longer time to pregnancy than someone in the middle. Weighing 10 more pounds than you want to will not suddenly make you infertile.

>Weighing 10 more pounds than you want

Came here to say this too. That having a low BMI and being underweight is also counterproductive to fertility. I'm naturally thin and live a healthy lifestyle but have been trying to get more healthy fats and protein to be in a higher BMI range for TTC. Everyone has their own challenges. You may never really know what is affecting fertility as well so the statistical definition of a healthy BMI for TTC is only part of the puzzle.

Yes anorexia is serious problem, less than 1% of women in US have anorexia and this % includes children so in adult women the percentage is like 0.01% so yeah very important when at least 40% foids are landwhales so that would mean per 4000 obese women only 1 will have anorexia so obviously women will focus fixing anorexia instead of other problem.

I mean, I understand that. I'm an MD with a certification in Pediatric Weight Management, so I have a lot of baseline understanding regarding the pathophysiology of obesity, mainly in pediatric patients. But it clearly affects fertility a lot more than many of the other things discussed frequently on this sub, so as I begin to go past the time by which most couples conceive, I'd like to collect as much info as I can.

FWIW, I'm 10lbs into the obese range, but I weigh about 40-50lbs more than I'd like to.

Take a downvote b-word, for phatophobia

>FatBasicWhiteGirl

I'm very much of the opinion that bigger bodies carry healthy pregnancies more often than not. BMI is not a great indicator of health and there is always more nuance to these studies than is truly captured in data. There are studies that certainly show increases in time to pregnancy and increases in rates of anovulation with high BMI. While these are statistically significant the difference is often minimal.

this is such a helpful and thoughtful response!

But when article says being obese is bad for men

I just remembered his statement because he was hyping Zelenskyy peace initiatives hard telling it's over for Putin because all brics members will visit that peace talk

But this conflict is the most r-slurred in the world. For example let's imagine Ukraine won today pov:

Ukrainian man rushing to Berlin to kills his cheating wife

It's basically a classical Slavic folklore

This song is about killing gf after conscription period ends because b-word is cheating while he is eating shit

My baby, I miss you

I don't receive letters from you

You're far away and you're not even bored

But I'll be back, I'll be back so you know

I'm far away, I miss you

I don't receive letters from you

You're far away and you don't even miss me

But I'll be back, I'll be back and you'll know

that I'm far from you

You promised to write, you promised to tell

How do you live, how difficult is it for you there?

You promised to wait a long time and suffer

And burn with love, but this is impossible

No, not a line from you, not a word from you

I shouldn't have believed your confessions

Yes, maybe it was in vain, maybe it was in vain

Tell me, what kind of punishment is this?

But I'll be back, I'll be back and you'll know

that I'm far from you
