Can't help but wonder if the Russian people are nearing a tipping point and, if so, what happens then. Hopefully, good people and cooler heads can prevail.

Probably, though it's still 70/80 in Florida. That's Low/High temps. Might be a factor. Not sure.

When you're used to violent, traumatic and humiliating nightmares, cryptic and vaguely threatening dreams sound like a vacation.

Ego has been mentioned. Sunk cost fallacy plays a part. Combine those and people tend to over value the effort they've made to form their opinion, either through some form of information consumption or synthesis of known ideas/held opinions, while devaluing/doubting the existence other people's previous efforts. So, you often end up with two people who both think they're informed and assume the other person is just making up an opinion right now and failing to see their valuable insight.

Even table games before that served much the same purpose, similar with sports and some hobbies. It's much easier to talk about something or over something while engaging in an activity. They provide a default topic, a medium, a space and a diversion from unwelcome topics when needed; an agreed upon means of social interaction.

That's what THEY want you to think.

I'm used to a drier climate. When I've visited some places that are more humid, I've been surprised how much more I can smell everything. Every person. Every place. Around corners. What's on the ground. Everything.

I do wear a scented antiperspirant because I like how it smells, it doesn't react badly with me and I don't wear a lot of other scents. But yeah, some places require more than that even.
