Depends on what you value
Depends on what the other person is looking for

TC's posts usually make it seem like he can't be older than 15. So 20 is a compliment.

It's bad until you're old enough that you're grateful for not looking your age.

this has been going on for years and is nothing new
Topic title is misleading.

Western security officials have been monitoring the shelling in Donbas closely, saying it was the sort of provocation that has the potential to escalate, while also stressing that exchanges of fire across the line of control in eastern Ukraine were not uncommon.
An official said there was more concern with what is happening now than with any possible pretext for an invasion by Russia that had been set out previously, so-called false flag operations in which a faked incident would be used to justify an attack on Ukraine.
Nevertheless, similar levels of hostilities have been seen previously and it was not uncommon for issues to flash up and go away. One western official concluded: Im not saying this is a pretext, but I didnt say it wasnt a pretext.

Ukraine rebels accuse Kiev govt forces of mortar shelling: Report

Preliminary reports have suggested that mortar shells were fired in four regions in Luhansk Peoples Republic.

because everyone that goes to one is an uggo

Everything is fake news at some point

Ill take concern trolling for 500.

But how will this affect the price of GME?

If Russia does take over Ukraine the worse anyone will do is sanctions. NATO doesn't have the balls to do anything more than that.

To say that this is a serious, dire situation is accurate. To say that it is the beginning of "World War 3" - a phrase that has been synonymous with "nuclear annihilation" for over 70 years now - is still a wee bit melodramatic.

Who ITT has posted that,

Who ITT has posted that, and who is alt-right? Such weak trolling lmao

Ukraine is not part of NATO. A NATO war would involve US troops on the ground and a full-scale military conflict with all NATO members. Please read a book before shitposting.

As a consequence and to ensure the defence of all Allies, we are deploying additional land forces in the eastern part of the Alliance, as well as additional maritime and air assets, as announced by Allies, and have increased the readiness of our forces.
Our measures are and remain preventive, proportionate and non-escalatory. We are prepared to further strengthen our defensive and deterrent posture to respond to all contingencies.
Any further Russian aggression against Ukraine will have massive consequences and carry a high price.

God shut the fuck up. Even if or when Russia invades it's not going to be "WW3." This nonsense is almost as ridiculous as the tankies claiming it's all western lies

Russia is building up its military forces on Ukraines border with more troops on their way, contradicting Moscows claims of a drawdown, Natos secretary general, Jens Stoltenberg, has said.
Despite suggestions from the Russian president, Vladimir Putin, on Tuesday that a partial withdrawal was in effect, Stoltenberg warned that Russian military capability was only increasing in number and strength.
The former Norwegian prime minister said Nato needed to be prepared for the worst while holding out hope that the signalling from Putin in recent days was evidence of a sincere desire to find a diplomatic way through the crisis.
Before a two-day meeting of Natos 30 defence ministers, Stoltenberg told reporters at the alliances headquarters in Brussels: So far we have not seen any de-escalation on the ground. On the contrary, it appears that Russia continues the military buildup.

I remember seeing the kids who had jobs when I was in high school. They all looked miserable.

I cant raise a kid in that environment

This will be vetoed by the governor, thankfully

the GOP gerrymandered a near supermajority in our legislature and our governor who actually represents the will of the people has been vetoing all of these GOP theater bills

Technically correct, considering this is how it was in the 50s.

I literally did exactly that when I was 15 so IDK what the fuck you're talking about

Ah so that's where you're going.

They're not forced to work they're choosing to work.

Let's see 14 year olds can be babysitters

If I could do things over I would work as early as I could.

not everyone who works at 14 fails high school couldve cut out time watching tv episodes i already saw

nah that's overrated shouldve just worked all I could while staying sane and invested everything with Mr. Dow while my parents were covering all my expenses.

I was not studying all of my time out of school.

Oh, well we wouldn't want that! Child labor is definitely the way to go.

The measure passed on a voice vote is backed by Republicans and the states hotel, restaurant and grocery industries, but opposed by Democrats and the Wisconsin AFL-CIO

I regret not working when I was 14

Wisconsin has in incredibly small population. I wonder if any of that factors in?

Wisconsin's Senate approved a bill on Wednesday that would allow 14 and 15-year-olds to work until 11 p.m. on some days much later than current laws allow.

Supporters of the bill say it could help plug the state's labor shortage.

Wisconsin currently sticks to federal child-labor laws, which stipulate that people under the age of 16 can only work between 7 a.m. and 9 p.m. from June 1 to Labor Day, and between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. for the rest of the year.

The proposed bill would allow this group to instead work from 6 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. on days before a school day, and 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. when the next day isn't a school day.

It has now been sent to the Wisconsin Assembly for approval.

The bill would keep in place federal rules limiting teens to three hours of work on a school day, eight hours on non-school days, and six days of work a week.

In testimony to the state's Committee on Labor and Regulatory Reform in June, Sen. Mary Felzkowski and Rep. Amy Loudenbeck said that the bill would help small businesses during the busy summer months.

"Businesses throughout the state see a massive increase in traffic during the summer tourist season, so much so that it can be difficult to find employees to work odd hours and seasonal times," they said. As a result, businesses often hire young people, they said.

Felzkowski and Loudenbeck said that the current legislation meant some businesses choose to close early because their young staff can't work late at night.

Hotel and tourism industry lobbyists are in favor of the bill, but it's opposed by the Wisconsin AFL-CIO, a federation of unions.

The Wisconsin Restaurant Association said in June that it supported extending workers hours for teens to help solve staffing issues. CEO Kristine Hillmer said that restaurants across the state had been boosting wages because of their struggle to find staff, noting that some entry-level dishwashers were starting at $15 an hour or higher.

The Wisconsin Assembly sent Gov. Tony Evers a bill on Thursday that would allow teenagers to work longer hours during the busy summer tourism months.The measure passed on a voice vote is backed by Republicans and the states hotel, restaurant and grocery industries, but opposed by Democrats and the Wisconsin AFL-CIO. The state Senate also passed it on a voice vote in October.
