@mcwolfus 1 Offer us better option!

[@TheBananasApocalypse]

The better option is not mending your Constitution to stay in power until 2024 to support an oligarchy system where your "president" is nothing more than a figurehead while Putin has kept his prime source of power over Russia. Anyone with an IQ over room temperature can see this.

[@mryhdy6266]

@mcwolfus 1 Where are those billions? If you look at his vacation pics seems like he likes the simple life, what does he do with his wealth? He was absent in the panama papers, wasn't he? So where is the proof?

[@mryhdy6266]

@mcwolfus 1 I understand that his position gives him access to things that the average Russian will never be able to have or do, but is there any evidence for what you are claiming. I have never seen anything that supports what you are claiming. The Panama papers are about rich people parking money offshore and his name is not mentioned there. So at least he does not fall into that category like so many others of our elites do.

Definitely a controversy here. They are rude not because they want to be rude but because they want to be straightforward and possibly persuade interviewee to think about some issues. It's about interview styles, I don't think there is a norm or rule here that prevents journalists to be straightforward and rude. If they don't like to be asked about sensitive questions then maybe they should not accept interviews with these rude journalists in the first place.

Also, there is no perfect economic and political system to rule the world, democracy is not entirely terrible per se, of course it depends how one defines it. Blindly believing everyone should have the freedom to say or do everything does not make the world better even if it sounds AMAZING. Human beings are very COMPLEX, there is no doubt that we need rules and regulations to make ourselves behave while being able to voice out when things are not reasonable. I think it's just a balance of both capitalism and socialism.

If all other World leaders had similar qualities and would see the need for World Peace and Cooperation with one another to establish a platform where the weapon race could be considered is a stumble block in eating up all revenues paid by its citizen for it's own self destruction and using the money instead for the benefit and wealth for all citizen then the World would be in a much better place. All world leaders should be friends instead of enemies in the efforts of a "world-wide-Peace and Security" where all of mankind can be healthy and prosperous. Imagine, not having the need to work for the weapon race, where so much money has gone to; what that could mean? How many hours or even days per week are we now working to finance the weapons???

[@Lightseer23]

В последнее время стал часто встречать в источниках информации и суждениях о взаимоотношениях термин-аббревиатуру "ASMR". Считаю полезным ознакомить себя: ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Автономная_сенсорная_ме.. Автоно́мная сенсо́рная меридиона́льная реа́кция (АСМР) (англ. Autonomous sensory meridian response, ASMR) - это феномен восприятия, характеризующийся приятным ощущением покалывания в затылке, распространяющегося в виде мурашек по коже шеи и спине к конечностям. Вызывают АСМР-ощущения звуковые, зрительные, тактильные или когнитивные стимулы. Природа феномена АСMР пока ещё остается неясной и не имеет научного объяснения. Однако, несмотря на малоизвестность феномена в научных кругах, множество людей ежедневно смотрят большое количество АСМР-контента на KZbin[1] и Twitch, где за несколько последних лет сложилось и постоянно продолжает расти масштабное и устойчивое сообщество людей, производящих и потребляющих АСМР-контент. По словам зрителей, от просмотра таких видео они получают эффект АСМР-наслаждения, успокоения, релаксации, расслабления. Кроме того, эти видео помогают им справиться с тревогой, паническими атаками, расслабиться и заснуть. По данным сайта Know Your Meme, первое упоминание термина «АSМR» было зафиксировано 25 февраля 2010 года в названии группы на Facebook (Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response Group), которое было предложено создательницей группы Дженнифер Аллен (псевдоним - Envelope Nomia) на основании материалов дискуссии на форуме SteadyHealth, в ходе которой многие участники обсуждали ранее не описанное ощущение[3]. Обсуждения на таких сайтах, как группа Society of Sensationalists («Общество сенсуалистов») на Yahoo!, основанная в 2008 году, или блог Unnamed Feeling («Безымянное чувство»), созданный Эндрю Макмирисом в 2010 году, были нацелены на создание сообщества для дальнейшего изучения этого ощущения путём обмена идеями и личным опытом...
