Nowadays in the United States, companies have spent billion on diversity training for their employees while most colleges and universities have sizable bureaucracy dedicated to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI). Do other countries especially those in the West also have diversity training and DEI? StellarHalo ( talk) 07:07, 13 December 2021 (UTC)
Ok I'm new at this so please don't bring on any ultra contentious political issues that I'm clueless about. There is saber rattling in the news about Russia possibly getting ready to invade Ukraine. Let's ignore all the moral and military issues, international reaction and all that, and assume that the invasion, if launched, will be successful. That leaves the question: why would Putin *want* to invade Ukraine? What would he do with it once he has it? It sounds almost like California invading Oregon. Oregon surrenders, but then what? :: It doesn't seem like much of a gain, given the increased hassle of governing the bigger combined territory. Are there important resources or anything like that? Thanks. 2602:24A:DE47:B8E0:1B43:29FD:A863:33CA ( talk) 07:49, 13 December 2021 (UTC)

Hi, I was wondering if anybody know how to lookup a German court case. I've not been able to make any headway against it at at. The number is Case 8K 5055/94 under judge Kohlheim. It is regarding the diplomat Rudolf von Scheliha on whether he took payments for delivering reports to Soviet intelligence. Thanks. scope_creep Talk 12:02, 13 December 2021 (UTC)

A stranger comes up to me in a shopping mall and says "Never accept unsolicited advice from strangers", then walks away.
I'm a reasonable man and this sounds like good advice. But I quickly discover I cannot accept his advice without rejecting it, and I cannot reject his advice without accepting it. My life is now at an end, consumed in an endless vortex of impossibilities.

One of themselves, even a prophet of their own, said, The Cretians are alway liars, evil beasts, slow bellies. This witness is true.
