    I agree that there are too many commercials, especially in sports. However, commercials an ads are what keep shows on TV, unless you’re paying for a service, which is still mostly funded by ads, but it’s grosser.

    I didn’t like commercials, and I almost never watch live TV, but I understand their existence as a means for the product to exist for “free”.

    If the frequency was less, the volume wasn’t double that of every show, and political ads weren’t allowed or at least limited, TV would be a much happier place.


  • If sometime like the US or multiple EU countries decided to go boots on the ground in Ukraine, what would be an expected response from the region/Russian allies?

    I can’t imagine China would want to get directly involved, but maybe I’m wrong. Everyone outside looking in can see that Russia isn’t a super power without the threat of nukes. Who would want to risk everything to support someone like that? What would be the benefit of these different countries to try and intervene on Russian behalf?

    It’s probably more simple, like, everyone in that area hates the US, which in itself might be enough reason to get involved. I’m just curious what’s the general consensus is on this.
