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

It can happen here. And if it does, here is what might become of the country.https://t.co/ivuT38XV7X

The OP is a woman. Didn't even finish reading the post, nor any of the replies. Just wanted to point out this sentence:

WE built a playset for our son in our backyard and apparently all the kids in the neighborhood liked it so much they've made it their daily hangout spot.

Ah yes I'm sure you built it yourselves. Having a crew come do it on a saturday for you doesn't mean you did shit, nor should you say we if your husband did it over a period of weeks etc.

The annoying post:

We built a playset for our son in our backyard and apparently all the kids in the neighborhood liked it so much they've made it their daily hangout spot. We come home and there are bicycles blocking our driveway and about a dozen kids playing on it.

Bikes blocking the driveway is annoying but I'm a million percent sure she's exaggerating the number and placement of said bikes.

I wouldn't mind if it was a once in a while thing but it's everyday until after sundown. I can't even enjoy hanging out in my backyard because of all the screaming. I want to build a fence but my husband thinks it would seem “unneighborly”, especially since some of the parents have told us how much their kids like our playset.

Edit: wow I didn't expect this to blow up. Just to clarify (because I'm seeing this come up a lot): the rest of the neighbors have a very open “come over and play whenever” policy so the neighborhood kids are used to that. However the other playsets are relatively small so they don't get a big group of kids hanging out at one of them constantly.

Wow I didn't expect this to blow up

Our son is 2 so he doesn't go out without supervision, and we (the parents) just didn't feel comfortable playing in other people's playsets without the owners there.

Don't live in suburbia I guess if you don't want kids in your yard constantly. Also, building a big playset for your two year old, much bigger than the other parents' sets. Had to thrown in how theirs is better than the rest in the neighborhood. I hate reddit and regret checking it.

They're doing it God's chosen way (missionary), and she wants to elevate her hips for better leverage. Grabs the closest pillow to throw underneath, which happens to be his.

All of a sudden, buttholes are spreading wide open, poop is smearing rampant across every available surface, and pinkeye is the new COVID.

Am I nooticing?

Short answer: no

Long answer: noooooooooo

Detailed explanation: No, because definitely not.

If they think it's unfeasible (we don't have the tech currently to do it on a large scale) they should at least explain their reasons

No. It's mostly smoke and mirrors. Why are fossil fuel companies so interested in this technology? They use the captured CO2 to extract additional oil from wells. It's just another distraction to avoid the elephant in the room and continue business as usual.

The answer is No

This user is surely negative

>comments in /r/adulting, collapse, WDP,

I'm a chemist working on the (electro)conversion of CO2 into economically valuable products. In my opinion, making this process profitable would be the only way to convince big companies to significantly invest in the process. I can tell you that we are far from making the process economically viable

Edit: to clarify, I'm not defending that we should prioritize the economy. I'm saying that that's what policy makers/ big companies prioritize, so it won't happen until the process is profitable, which is far from now. We thus rely on different approaches to mitigate climate change

A sensible comment

Bonus on doomering about millions dying in India during heat waves just a few years from now

https://old.reddit.com/r/climatechange/comments/1ct9dhj/fatal_heat_waves_are_testing_indias_ability_to/?sort=controversial

We are going to have a heat wave combined with power failure that kills millions by the end of the decade.

You get a wet bulb temp weather system that settles over a city for a couple days, and the power system goes down.

The opening chapter of the novel "The Ministry for the Future" is a description of just this scenario, and it is hands down one of the most horrifying things I have ever read.

Yup that chapter was sickeningly realistic

The heat wave deaths are then followed by a massive pandemic as millions of corpses liquefy in the heat. The whole city would be a biohazard for a long time

I just started this book yesterday and this post made me do a double take. I had a moment of like, “wait…that's too real”
