The idea that Elon Musk and Andrew Tate think that publically backing him helps quash any suggestion of bad actions is laughable.

Honest at this point I wouldn't even blink if Prigozhin popped up in the future to tell us they faked their deaths.

To be clear, I believe that he's dead (and that it was probably an assassination by Putin), but so many other outrageous things have happened already little surprises me.

Both can be true. That Israel has been terrorising Palestinians, and that HAMAS is terrorising Israel.

This is something that I've been thinking about and came to the realisation of the last couple of months.

And this is exactly what Russia's objective was after the disaster of last year. Politically and strategically is the best they can hope for. Drag it out and Ukraine's allies and the world will get tired and stop caring. They'll stop supplying weapons, and sanctions will soften, maybe even start leaning towards supporting or feeling sorry for Russia. Something that were already seeing with Slovakia cutting all aid to Ukraine and taking a 'war is bad, negotiate peace' stance that is a blatant and thinly veiled Russian supportive line. Which is funny since their new govt is Russia leaning.

US are also starting to waver recently with the whole House Speaker débâcle. And Poland/Ukraine relations are a little frosty at the minute too.

That's before you even talk about the Russian strikes on the Ukrainian/Romanian border that are being almost ignored in relation to their severity. Or the Russian mining of the Black Sea. Or Russian missiles flying paths over Maldova on their way to Ukraine. It's a piss take. And only a matter of time unless the world pulls its finger out.

This isn't necessarily a message to transgender people as individuals, but more a message to their followers that they cannot use their religion as an excuse for their bigotry and ignorant hatred.

Just because it may not make a difference overnight it doesn't mean that it isn't a step in the right direction.

Yes. This is a inflammatory headline purely to try and push an agenda.

There was literally a poll a couple of months ago that showed something like 80% of Ukrainians were in favour of not having elections.

Not to even mention that Ukraine is under Marshall Law, and per their laws disallows elections. And don't even get me started on the entire premise of running elections in a country where a quarter of the landmass is under enemy occupation and the logistics of getting votes from 100s of thousands of deployed troops and the serious security concerns of the election itself from Russian attacks.

In my opinion Newsweek have just outed themselves here and the question is for who?

Don't look up.

That can be said about any app.

But Elon Musk and Andrew Tate have said it's nonsense and that he's a canny guy. I don't know what to believe now!

Didn't happen in a vacuum though, did it.

Do not confuse me saying that with sympathising with Hamas. It is possible to recognise that both sides have bloody hands, and have done for decades.

An act of war is only such if the other side recognises it as such.

So if Mexico decide to see this has an isolated incident that can sorted out with some phone calls and hand wringing then it 'quite literally' isn't.

And of course that's what going to happen. To the point where it's not even worth mentioning that war will happen. In short, a rediculous comment.

I strongly believe that anyone who scoff at the idea that cyclists should be held to the same rules and standards as cars or who moan about cycle infrastructure should be forced to experience close passes themselves. See how quickly their tone changes.

If my airforce was comprised in bulk of early to mid era cold war museum pieces with a (very) small handful of late cold war era jets as my flagship units then I would be impressed with anything developed after 1991 as well.

I mean, that's fair enough in itself. There's plenty of nations out there still rocking their Falcons, Flankers, Frogfoots, Frogger, Tornados, Mirages etc etc completely respectedly. But they also allow their pilots more stick time in half a year than the vast majority of NK's pilots get in half a decade.

Hobbies aren't supposed to be about whether they're a good financial consideration, they're about passion, self fulfillment and looking after yourself.

What a child.

It's not nerves, but ligaments and tendons that are linked, in basic terms.

There's a sentence in this that every single reply to this has either ignored or missed, and that's the part where you think he's autistic.

From the small snapshot of his life and personality that you've offered it does seem that he shows some pretty clear signs. It may be that he doesn't even realise. I know that I've very recently come to realise that I'm obviously autistic and I'm very much an adult. How everyone around me throughout my entire life missed it/didn't realise is absolutely boggling.

Whether he's diagnosed or not shouldn't change that it should be handled with the appropriate sensitivities and equality policies as if he was autistic. But that's entirely up to your work place and it's culture.

You all need to remember that while you 'only' have to be around then during the times you're around him, he has always got to deal with being autistic, whether he knows he is or not. And from the sounds of things he may not be very good at masking, which is both good and bad for him. As a person who seems to be neurotypical, you live in a world that is designed for neurotypical people. He isn't and doesn't. Imagine being forced to live in a world where you need wheelchair ramps, but there are none provided - anywhere. He needs mental ramps.

You are more than entitled and allowed to not want to deal with him or be around him, please don't take this as saying that expect you to do that. But there needs to be sensitivity and an understanding of his struggles. If he is autistic, he cannot help the way he approaches situations or how he feels when you rebuff him. To him being told he's annoying is clearly something he's taking very, very personally. Take it from someone who is also autistic, it's horrible. I feel like my entire existence is being rejected, and it sticks and I ruminate on it for hours sometimes days.

So speak to HR first, see what their equality policy is, and what options that they have. Hopefully the company culture and policy recognises that a diagnosis isn't always possible or needed. And take it from there. Ultimately I think that some of the responses about finding time where you can separate yourself from him is the most likely solution.

You need to take the time to regulate. If you don't then it just ends up in a meltdown at best, and a total shutdown at worst.

And I'm sure everyone would rather you just swerved a social event that deal with that. I know for me, at least, I'm utterly done mentally and emotionally for a couple of days after a shutdown.

I will hopefully assume your wife knows that you're autistic and your needs. Just tell her that you've gone none-stop for two weeks and that you're at critical point for regulation. If you can, might be worth taking sick leave from work.

How much do you wanna bet that he won't, save for a select couple of cases that they'll publicise the ever living shit out of before quietly never speaking of it again

Russia taking notes from the Israelis, I see.
