There’s nothing to discuss. You are clearly biased due to the motivation to defend the publishing body for your research.

Expert scientific bodies all over the globe, including China , Europe , had or have strong criticisms of the MDPI and for very good reasons.

It’s a paper mill where for a fee you can get published in a quarter of the time and work. Yes, the individual journals are the source of the problem but that MDPI constantly includes their crap taints the lot.

If you are a researcher, you shouldn’t have to ask someone for information that is readily available and particularly for that which you should already have intimate knowledge of.

• Multi-disciplinary = inexpert
• Review process = payment please
• some actual reputable journals and scientific bodies no longer use it due to previous 2 points

We can’t use a time machine to travel hundreds of years into the past or future.

It’s a bullshit headline. The researchers were using an addiction metaphor to explain minor behavioural changes and the writer posted “withdrawal symptoms!”

IMO your analysis is pretty good. Russia’s tactics are insufficient to successfully hold Ukrainian territory long term. Their only hope is Ukraine’s support evaporates and an isolated Ukraine succumbs to exhaustion. To this end they continue to foster a resurgence of right-wing russia-sympathetic parties throughout Europe, although it doesn’t look like this has been successful nearly as much as they’d hoped.

Honestly, it really is starting to look like russia is nearing collapse. Financial institutions have warned inflation will be bad this year, and economic indicators all show severe strain (although not as severe as I’d like to see). There has been a notable uptick in the amount or public protests and outspoken complaints from civilians and even their milbloggers are expressing frustration with the russian army. Couple this with their admission that Victory day parades are vulnerable and I’m willing to start holding my breathe. All it takes is a spark…

Personally, I’d like to see the Crimean Bridge collapse into the water. The ensuing panic and fury at russia’s helplessness would likely be sufficient at this point.

and yet, it is the one thing they are GUARANTEED to figure out in life.

Man do I hope the blue wave is large enough to overwhelm these shitstains safety margins.

The 15 10 commandments were famously written on 3 2 stone tablets.

It’s an astute observation. I don’t watch TV except for the playoffs and they have zero ads for AI, just for AI integration services.

I know Ukraine has a lot mor casualties, the Bus incident you listed is a fairly tame one compared to other ones in Ukraine.

And yet the only time you say anything is the second a russian building has debris hit it. The glaring implication is Ukrainian civilians didn’t count. It’s telling that a russian mayor makes a claim and THAT is what gets your attention.

Hacker? Not a hacker. This information is broadcast openly.

TIL if(wireless_signal=OR(“tazer”,“bodycam”),“Police Detected”, ) is hacking.

Didn’t flap your gums on this post did you? BS trolling plain to see.
