4·1 year agoThe North Crimean canal is absolutely what he was trying to talk about. He didn’t even know what or where Crimea was so it was tough to understand.
Thanks for the tldr and the links, that’s perfect. Appreciate the effort.

4·1 year agoThat is absolutely what he was trying to talk about! Thank you!
It was shut down after Russia invaded in 2014 and was only %18 of the drinking water supply.
I really appreciate the effort you put in to get me that information.

4·1 year agoYeah, that was essentially where it was left at. He said Ukraine broke a contract with russia (he ad pivoted to the NATO encroachment defense of the war) and I said even if there was a valid contract that legally justified war, it wouldn’t morally justify killing Ukrainians and displacing them from their homes.
That is the impasse we left it at.

I am in fact looking for the root of this disinformation my coworker has read. It was driving me crazy not being able to find any sources.
Most of these lies are based on something with some truth. I find flat out rejecting them makes no progressin the discussion, but explaining the true context works much better.

7·1 year agoHey, I’m back. Tried to tell him Russia the started the war, but it he was so adamant about this dam. I had no knowledge of it was impossible to break through.
Probably not going to go back to my coworker, because I just can’t afford to open that can of worms. But I did genuinely need to know. I live in a disinformation riddled hotspot. I try to stay on top of the truth and the small truths bad actors sprinkle in the lies.
Was he fifty at birth?
His first album was 2003; ‘Get Rich or Die Tryin’. If 50 cents was his valuation then, that would mean Curtis Jackson’s valuation was 22¢ at birth in 1975. Assuming he follows a somewhat arbitrary inflation rate of 3%. (This is also assuming he is not an asset of higher expected return like property, stocks, or bonds.) Putting him at a less attractive 99¢ today.
If he is the the currency himself, rather than being valuated at 50¢, then he would have devalued. This would put his value at around 27¢ today and $1.68 at birth.
