Zelensky said something about X You said "well he didn't do anything about Y"

That's whataboutism. You may have meant it honestly, but ultimately what that kind of argument does is attempt to reduce zelenskys response to this action by comparing it to how he may have done something not as good in a different situation.

That's not what those terms mean or why they are used as insults.

And, generally speaking, a few ethnic/gender groups changed their voting strategies this election, while others didn't. The articles calling out different demographics are pointing out reality. Those shifts affected the results of the election.

That's why they are being pointed out, instead of pointing out that one group did exactly what was expected of them and what they did last time, and the time before, and the time before...

So I'd challenge you that it's not recriminations or gross, it's simply pointing out what changed and how it led to us being in our current spot. You can't fix things/change course without understanding where you are.

2010, simply because of how english works.

If you say 2001 as twenty one, it's confusing. Same goes all the way up to "twenty nine".

And it's more garbled and slower to say "twenty oh one" vs "two thousand one", especially if you're speaking quickly.

"Twenty ten" and up, however, starts making sense as a different piece of information and can be used easily.

I cannot tell if you are being serious or just having fun with buzzwords

Through their paws for one, and when they lick their coats, the saliva acts like sweat and cools them down as it evaporates. And if it's really bad, they pant.

Don't most first aid kits have smelling salts?

Best time to make a change was 20 years ago. Second best time is now. Progress is progress. Would you rather it continue to not happen?

Isn't that part of the point? If the populace suffers, government changes are more likely

God said do/don't do a thing. Person didn't listen. Person is punished.
