For a long time Facebook counted an angry react as equal to five likes for measuring engagement. It's very much intentional.

I'm sure other people have brought up rich people taking a huge share of it already, but there's also the sheer number of people determined to work in the arts. If there's, say, ten billion dollars to go around, it sounds like a lot, but if it's split between a couple of million artists it doesn't go very far.

Total coincidence they picked someone Jewish for their conspiracies about bankers secretly controlling the world.

None of these folks are capable of manufacturing modern nitrocellulose gun powder or primer caps necessary to reload their fancy rifles and handguns.

This gave me a thought, would having equipment for ammonia and other chemicals (for fertiliser as well as explosives) be useful for preppers?

That can be delayed for a long time by stockpiling spare parts.

I assume people decided it had the vibe of accusing Ukraine of being underhanded (it's not, but internet gonna internet)

As well as spreading and planting seeds, clearing competing plants, and providing water and nutrients.

Chickens are the most numerous bird on the planet, wheat covers more land area than any other plant.

Ukrainian nuclear weapons aren't a credible threat to Russia, for the same reason Russia's aren't to Ukraine: It isn't under an immediate threat of being wiped out, just losing territory. I think this is aimed more at the United States, trying to pressure them into keeping up or increasing aid with the threat of nuclear proliferation (as Japan, Taiwan and Saudi Arabia have done). There is also the possibility that in a Trump administration, loss of US aid could turn the war back into an existential threat where nuclear weapons could be used.

There's actually a very good reason why Russia operates like that - mutinies. If you give junior officers authority, in a political system like Russia's where the leadership's legitimacy is purely based on power and self-interest, they might decide they'd rather be the ones in charge. This was perfectly demonstrated when they gave a military unit autonomy, and that resulted in the Wagner mutiny.

I evolutionary terms being edible to humans is quite useful.
