I'd go one further; strawberry chilli sorbet. sweet strawberry, hot and cold at the same time.. perfection

hey thanks everyone for your points of view. really appreciate your time to comment. my take home is that Ukraine does knows what it's doing with Trump and I'm no longer worried a bad deal will be made. ideally no deal with the US will be made, that's my preference. anyway.. the gods willing Ukraine will continue smashing the Russians cheers all

thanks for the long reply. I hope EU actually sends weapons and puts boots on the ground to assist Ukraine. UK has given some cruise missiles and I'm sure other EU countries will do similar. interesting that the EU financial assistance was loans but as you said these can be cancelled easily. I guess loans are easier to sell to you population. I'd also prefer to not have the US involved now the administration has changed, but disentangling so much bureaucracy is difficult and doesn't happen overnight. I'd suspect Ukraine doesn't want any deals with the US now but needs to keep playing the game until they don't need to. Russia wss never going to play the game anyway, never in good faith. The EU really needs to step up.. but again this takes time to start building up stockpiles and uniforms.. so I can see why the game is being played. I just hope Ukraine wins every hand. thanks 🙏

Hey everyone I'm confused about this mineral 'deal' that the US is trying to enforce on Ukraine. Why would Zelenskyy even contemplate a deal with the US with the current fascist administration? obviously he knows they are liars and cheats and won't uphold any part of the agreement they don't want to. surely he wouldn't tie up his national minerals for generations so they can get the old US stockpiles of weapons? unless he's just talking the talk with no intention of carrying through? if I had Zelenskyy ear I would advise against doing any deal with the US and just try to get Europe on board asap. I understand the issue of shutting down starlink would currently severely impact Ukraine, but I can also see how starlink won't be necessary in the near future as drones switch to AI and fibre, and a bunch of tech we don't know about yet.. so what's the deal with the 'deal'? surely it's not being entertained seriously? or is it all bluster for Trump to feel he's achieving something whilst the real power brokers get EU assistance? would love thoughts Slava Ukraini!

this was me about 30 years ago on a larp where at midnight we came across a mage in a circle.. along with a scarecrow.. I smacked the scarecrow with my sword and it screamed and lunged at me.. I ran away bravely and as fast as possible straight into a tree, dropped my lantern and carried on screaming into the night. the most scared I've been in larp, proper suspension of disbelief. thanks for the memory 😆

Royal Society decides not to take disciplinary action against Elon Musk in c/world@lemmy.world

looks like you guys just damaged yourselves by not taking disciplinary action against Musk. whilst I have nothing to do with you, you guys should know better than to sympathise with Nazis. It makes you the same as them. The US is broken and you have the chance to stand on the right side of history or the wrong side of history, and you will be judged by your actions. and science will suffer your actions/inaction. sort it out or are you just a bunch of Nazi cowards?
