First of all the decision by India to buy Russian oil is mainly economic although it is tacitly approved by the US and the rest of the west. There is an independent undercurrent here though and that is to drive wedges like this in the world order in order highlight the importance of India. The country's collective self-esteem is partially driven by what was in the rear view mirror but now more so to better industrialize and gain respect (e.g. a seat on the security council).

CBF’s last album was great

He got his answer of 'I Do' (The question was the biggest mistake at ypur wedding) at #2 (#1 was getring sloshed).

One cant help but feel this was a red flag from that moment.

This might sound unpopular to a lot of people however it is the right thing to do. Having that much oil go offline for years would be a major economic shock to the world and would actually endanger ongoing military and humanitarian support for Ukraine.

Well once you get one you just want another and another...

BY ONE OF THE PEOPLE HE SUPPOSEDLY PROTECTED

That lends a LOT of credence to the accusations

There are a lot of books, anything you want can go in a book

Oh no! Oh no! I sure hope it wasn't one of the Louie Anderson episodes! Or that J. Peterman guy!

I haven't seen a lot of drag, but what I have felt like a descendant of vaudeville and burlesque.

Darcelle was definitely a joy to be around.

Dude, theres a book by one of the people he supposedly protected

Cole’s passing won’t be the end of Darcelle XV Showplace, which is the oldest operating drag club west of the Mississippi. His son, Walter, who goes by the nickname J.R., has worked at the nightclub for more than 30 years, and has long been trained to take over the business.

Cole was preceded in death by Neuhardt, who passed away in October 2017 at 82.

Cole is survived by his wife, Jeannette, his son and daughter, Walter Jr. and Maridee, along with two granddaughters, a great-granddaughter and a great-grandson.

Details on a public memorial are pending.

Clearly his children were traumatized by their father being a drag queen. /s

And gay relationships never last long with Cole and Roxy Neuhardt (1969–2017) being partnered almost 50 years - that is clearly a short term relationship. (No idea why he and Jeanette never divorced - not anyone's business but theirs and Roxy's.) But she obviously hated him. /s

This was in the 60's - if she thought he wasn't a good dad - she could have ruined him and kept him from having any relationship with his kids ever - much less grandkids and great grandkids.

Everyone's family is different. Doesn't mean one type of family is less than someone else's.

One of the absolute titans of the computer industry.

I was actually surprised to see someone with such early impact was still around. It must have been amazing to see everything that was built upon his early work.

Rest in beauty you divine flower.

You seem to be misunderstanding me. I am pro nuclear power, but I am anti capitalist pigs misrepresenting their mistakes. It is possible to explain to the public’s how harmless this is, but saying it is nothing or less than nothing is a lie

“Let’s say” you Ben Shapiro or something.

No supposing, just facts. The environment already had an amount of tritium, they added more to it. A Geiger counter is an inappropriate instrument for the energy level of beta given off by tritium b y the way
