Don't forget he even named one of his children "X".

More like a serial kleptomaniac who can't help but forever try to take what's not his. "Thrill of the crime" or something.

A lot of heist movies center around similar characters who are always tempted by "one last score". Their penchant for crime is their defining characteristic, the only thing they're comfortable doing because they've become so good at it.

It's common Republican lingo to refer to California, and anywhere wherein, as a "hellhole".

The lesson to be learned from WWII is that appeasement of land-hungry countries is not a solution for long term world peace. Because of Neville Chamberlain's appeasement of Hitler's annexation of the Sudetenland and Austria, Hitler learned that the world would simply let him take whatever he wanted if he bared his teeth.

Putin views the fall of the USSR with bitterness, and wants to bring the USSR back. From his prior incursions into Chechnya and Crimea, he had learned that he could take whatever territory he wanted and the world would turn a blind eye out of fear of starting a larger conflict. He had hoped that Trump would be reelected, reducing the likelihood of a united West against this offensive he had been planning for years.

So, he had plans to take Moldova after Ukraine. He expected Ukraine's inexperienced, ex-actor president to flee like Hamid Karzai when his forces made a beeline for Kyiv. Instead, Zelenskyy stood his ground, lead the defense of Ukraine, and marshalled materiel support from NATO. Ukraine is choosing to fiercely defend itself; even if pacifists who want to minimize total casualties were to get the US and NATO to cease all support for Ukraine, "allowing" it to be overrun, there would be no speedy end to the conflict. And then, even if Russia were to claim all of Ukraine, the bloodshed would not stop there, as he would continue to take former USSR member states.

I was an early adopter of T9 typing on my Nokia back in the day. When I finally got a smartphone, I found a keyboard app that had T9 as an option and used that. When Swype first came out, I couldn't believe that another typing system could actually beat the speed and ease of T9 typing.

I've always preferred to type in full words and sentences, and I'm a good speller, so most of the reasons other people don't like swipe typing don't apply to me.

Reddit's Contributor Program could earn you real money for your Reddit karma [Android Authority]. This mirror's Twitter's experiment to pay select top contributors [Washington Post].

This would just accelerate Reddit's plunge into "bots upvoting karma farming repost bots".

Reddit not announcing the replacement for awards/coins yet totally makes sense if it will be something like this or crypto related, though they're just uselessly kicking the backlash can down the road.

Lurkers by definition have no impact, besides their potential to eventually become a creator/participant. Having a high ratio of voters/commenters to creators is more important to surface quality content.

Oh, it's gonna take a lot longer than a couple weeks, unless all the Reddit refugees leave in that time.

The Google Play listing says "contains ads" and "in-app purchases" just like Boost for Reddit, so I assume that means the same ad-supported model with pay to unlock additional features and remove ads. Though that could just be leftover code from the Reddit version.
