I think it's important to consider that, even thought it might be slightly skewed, the fediverse is still a slice of the human population as a whole. The bell curve sadly applies to all scales and on all populations. So there's bound to be a vocal minority inciting indiscriminate anger here, just as there is in the world outside. Those with pitchforks and torches and all that. Point being, if you think of the fediverse as your local walmart (lore says those places have quite an interesting population), it might ease the impact a bit.

your actual posts are eyecandy, to be appreciated and upvoted and, most of the time (when they're not sad), to bring a smile to one's face

don't let the lack of feedback bring you down. some of us lurk, see and appreciate. thank you for everything you do!

I wouldn't call it an issue, though, more like working as intended. I have no problem with paying for state health contributions even though I don't use the services that much myself. Because it brings up the overall health for everyone around me which also benefits me indirectly. Think of it as an investment.

not sure what you mean by opioid+nsaid prescription painkillers, so I'll assume it's a mix of opiods plus NSAIDs. wouldn't make much sense to add aspirin/naproxen/ibuprofen on top of that, as they are also NSAIDs and that role's already been filled

paracetamol is also a fairly good painkiller so my guess is they're probably going for some synergy there as well

guessing some of them had (have?) some ties to russia or russian assets one way or another

or, it could be that some russian resources may be vital and hard to replace, so they had make some compromises. I know from a few years back, for instance, that cobalt-60 gamma sources were sourced nearly exclusively from russia. and those are needed worldwide for sterilization via gamma-irradiation of all sorts of things (including the single-use syringes widely used in hospitals). and that's just one example. wonder how many more there are

otherwise, I can't really understand why russia wasn't briefly excluded from SWIFT

Nationality of somebody born on a plane wouldn't be a big deal as long as at least one of the parents comes from a country where lex sanguis applies. If lex solis applies (as in the USA) then they could in fact be stateless unless their parents have some other nationality.

And, if I remember correctly, the captain has the responsibility to record births and deaths on board an airplane. So you might be on to something with the paperwork.

OP's username checks out. Another case of nominative determinism?

you now have tourette's and speak that incantation uncontrolably. the only medication for it is lead-based. lead is otherwise harmless to you.
