Partial agreement. I think that medication for mental illnesses is still essentially in the dark ages, and it's partially because they were not allowed to use the plants for research to determine what about them was effective, correctly engineer them into a standardised type, and work on the therapies to work best with them.

The physical point I don't agree with. In these instances, the effective plants have been researched and their mode of action has (generally) been determined. It is then possible to engineer them into higher and more consistent effectiveness in the human body, than the plants which essentially had an effect by random chance.

Many of them understand the evil they're committing by supporting traitors like Trump, and they revel in it. They don't give a shit about the US or any kind of morals, they just want to hurt brown people, or trans people, or women, etc.

Yeah but these people are also stupid, unable to recognize they are also causing their own suffering with this.

Ok but also we get to live 25% longer which sounds like a pretty good tradeoff.

Live Carfree (from petrol) - 2.4
Petrol to hybrid - 0.52
Electric Car to Carfree - 1.15

Seems they left out a pretty large item in "switch from petrol to electric - 1.25"

Your combative stance highlights that you are unable to stray from your ideological perspective to admit any fault on the part of the USSR.

The reason that people "only care" about the Molotov Ribbentrop pact is because the USSR colluded with Germany to partition Poland. It was not just a defensive pact.

You have made (or perhaps, copy pasted) a selective list showing Western collusion/cooperation with Nazi Germany while minimizing USSR collusion with the same. This is whataboutism.

The innocent USSR, who had no choice but to partition Poland with Nazi Germany

The USSR definitely put in huge work, but at the end of the day, "Stalingrad" was besieged and close to being finished off, German forces were right outside Moscow, and all of Ukraine, Belarus and the Baltics were occupied (aka the most heavily industrialised areas)

The reality is that without the USA committing significant industrial resources to its allies (particularly the lend lease) and keeping the Western front open, the USSR was a matter of months away from being finished off.

The war was not won by only the efforts of the USA or the USSR.

America is a different universe lmao. Most people aren't even married once in their late 20s in Denmark.

Lucky you. I think school bags in many countries, even developed ones are at an abuse level. When I was 12 my bag often weighed 10kg+, no lockers. I had hoped the situation had improved until I spoke to my 20 years younger cousin, it's still the same shit. I believe it is probably a major contributing factor to scoliosis and kyphosis for children and teenagers, but still it persists
