This is the core doctrine of Russian warfare.
Armies fight armies. Unit casualty rates over 50-60% are completely acceptable.
If decisive victory cannot be achieved by fighting, begin systematic destruction of the opponent’s infrastructure and society to crush to their morale.
If 1 and 2 should fail, use of nuclear weapons to achieve the preset goals is the next step.
This is what has been taught to their generals for a long time.
Parkside’s value-for-money quality has been astonishing these past few years. I took the risk with them maybe 4-5 years ago and not one power tool from their lineup has had any problems yet. Today I just set up their quiet compressor at my garage, and the damn thing really is so silent that you can even have a discussion using your normal voice when it’s running.
One kid sniffed lighter gas and jacked off during 9th grade chemistry class. He passed out and fell off his chair and hit his head to the floor with his dick still clutched in his hand.
The teacher was so terrified that she couldn’t do anything but stutter and shake violently. Me and a couple of my friends dragged the idiot outside to get fresh air while waiting for the ambulance.
The sniffer came back to school the next day like nothing had ever happened. This incident was never again discussed in any way by the teachers or other faculty members.
There were lots of totally crazy shit happening on a weekly basis. The early 90’s were pretty wild where I grew up.
I remain baffled by this. But since I can barely differentiate red and green in optimal lighting conditions, it does not come as a surprise.
Yes. For years now. And I am horrified.
I am a teacher and I’ve had students who could not find the article about lions from the animal encyclopedia I handed to them. And when I helped them to find it, one started crying, one tried to read it (stopped after a minute or so) and one asked “Isn’t there some lion video we could watch instead?”. It was two pages with a lot of pictures. But it was too much for these 5th graders.
Reading proper books has become almost impossible to kids because their attention span is almost non-existent with written material.
We’ve tried to add more emphasis on basic reading skills in the early grades for some time now, but it seems to have very little effect.
Yes. I’ll happily pay extra if it goes to Ukraine.
