Silicon Valley Bank helped finance China's innovation economy. What happens next? Before it became infamous for the weaknesses on its balance sheet, Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) was known for the strength of its ties to the tech industry. So adept was SVB at serving the venture/startup ecosystem that it eventually took that expertise overseas.

@adventures-written Lute and Adam from the answered ask.

She didn't know how to feel about this answer. Shouldn't she be happy about it? But somehow that wasn't the emotion reflecting on her face. There was written skepticism within her frown. “I am not getting anything twisted - Sir. “, she assured him, arms folded behind her back and chin up high, trying her best to beware her professionalism while trying desperately to solve the mystery of her heart feeling like it got wringed out right now.

Only when no other angel or winner was in sight she turned to Adam with a smile on her lips and an uncanny soft voice. “I am glad to be your friend, Adam.”

Ron DeSantis warns Floridians “Don’t say gay” and “Don’t say black”.

In Russia, the Putin clique tells the military, “Don’t say mobilization”.

Now, with a sputtering winter offensive in the eastern Donbas region in its second month and Ukraine telegraphing its own spring offensive, Russian officials are again trying to boost numbers. At least 42 regions across the country are now sending out summons to eligible men, according to human rights lawyer Pavel Chikov. One news site known for supporting government policies said the official target was to enlist up to 400,000 men.

Whatever it is, it's not a mobilization, the Kremlin insists. “There are no such discussions,” spokesman Dmitry Peskov was quoted by news agencies as saying on March 15, when asked: “Is the Kremlin discussing a second wave of mobilization?” But if it is not yet a major, mandatory call-up, it may turn into one.

The war is called a “special operation” by the Putinistas and the Russian media. Saying “war” can land you in the gulag.

Whatever it is, it’s a shambles as well as a violation of international law.

i am going 2 make some1 hurt w original poetry!!! r u ready!!!!

-

i wanted to name this poem in advance but i didn't know where to start

-

after 4 minutes the song says

"i will see you in the next life"

and i think i will never be the same again.

but then the next second passes and i realize

i'm just the same as i always have been

and maybe that comforts me more.

obsessed with a new movie,

a new fictional boy,

i'm thinking i should break up with the real one.

he texts me and says,

"can you believe that it's only been 2 months since we became partners?"

and i ignore him again,

wait until i'm ready to respond.

maybe i'm just not built for it.

i listen to the song on repeat,

blink my eyes because i want to cry

but i can't.

i don't want to love or be loved.

we'll have better chances in the next life, anyway.

Dom is slowly walking towards Oscar welding a bat with nails preparing to strike {have a possessed bitch XD}

Okay, so. Dom creeping up on him to bonk him with something wasn't new. But usually it was something silly and harmless, like a pool noodle, or a squeaky hammer or some shit.

Not an actual bat. Let alone one with nails in them.

So when Oscar noticed Dominick armed with it and stepping towards him with purpose from his peripherals, Oscar was admittedly freaked out as he turned to face his younger brother.

"Whoa whoa, Dominick, th' fuck???"

Something wasn't right.

one time in ninth grade i was sitting in my history class taking notes as usual and my teacher said something like "[guy were learning about] was a conquerer who had many children" or something idk and i very quietly said "he fucked women" and the guy sitting in front of me went "OH MY GOD.........[MY DEADNAME].........." which seems like a disproportionate reaction to a ninth grader saying the fuck word

9 I'm a teacher and as I said in the previous ssk game/post, I use a Kate. The only problem with that is sometimes I have problems with my blood sugar to where I am so dizzy and dearly incapacitated that the cane really doesn't help that much: I'm just not steady enough on my feet during those times to even use it. But that is only sometimes and depending on my stress level. Those times are few and far between. So I don't want to get a Walker. Or anything like that plus my d*** pride just won't let me do something like that. However, our school is really strict and the fact that they do not want teachers to sit down at all during the day. And they also want the teachers to teach from the center of the room, in the middle of all the kids. This would involve an able-bodied person walking around with a laptop in one hand, moving all over the room with it, and using it to control a huge projection board.

I was able to solve this problem with a rolling lectern.

The administrators all have one So they can do work while patrol in the hallways. That way when I am seen walking around with it, it does not look out a place and I can always lie and say I am going to the copy room to make a huge amount of copies. That I could not Carrie otherwise not that I should necessarily have to lie but I am just so. Soft conscious about it because people I work with treat me like my physical defects are mental defects and I'm not as smart as everyone else. Nor am I cpable of doing my job because I cannot physically get around the way everyone else does.

Russians: Uncle Putin wants YOU — for cannon fodder.

Putin just had his rubber stamp parliament, the State Duma, pass a law to make it easier to draft men of military age.

A new bill signed into law by Russian President Vladimir Putin that allows authorities to issue electronic notices to draftees and reservists is sparking fears of a new wave of mobilization for Moscow's war in Ukraine and prompting fresh conversations among Russians about leaving the country.

When the Kremlin announced a partial mobilization of reservists in September as part of a drive to call up some 300,000 new personnel to fight in Ukraine, the decision led to a mass exodus of military-age Russian men and their families. Hundreds of thousands of Russians left to neighboring countries and other locations that had few entry requirements and allowed them to live and work for extended periods of time in order to avoid the draft.

It was not too difficult to leave the country last autumn. But things are changing.

But as anxiety over another mobilization wave looms more than seven months later, Russians looking to avoid getting caught up in the war in Ukraine are facing a more difficult path ahead, including policies that could make it harder to leave the country and visa changes in many destinations that will limit Russians' ability to stay abroad for longer periods.

"The universal advice is to leave as soon as possible," Ivan Pavlov, head of the human rights group First Department, told Current Time, a Russian-language network run by RFE/RL in cooperation with VOA, adding that the new law could give military planners a mechanism for quickly beefing up their ranks in preparation for a new Ukrainian attack.

The government can now send you a draft notice electronically.

The new April 14 law modifies Russia's military service rules that previously required the in-person delivery of notices to conscripts and reservists who are called up for duty. Now, the notices issued by local military conscription offices will also be sent electronically and be considered valid from the moment they are put on a state portal for electronic services, known as Gosuslugi. The law will also set up an electronic registry of all people required to serve and collect their personal data while creating a public list of all those who have been summoned for military service.

Unlike in September, however, fleeing abroad is not as straightforward of a process as before, with the list of possible countries to receive Russian citizens shrinking.

For some time we’ve been trying to tell you to get out.

But anyway.

Under the new law, recipients who fail to show up for service after getting a summons would be prohibited from leaving Russia and have their drivers' licenses suspended and could be barred from selling their apartments and other assets. Similarly, activists and legal experts say Russian border guards could now use the online registry to further restrict travel for anyone looking to avoid military service.

That potentially limited timeline, coupled with added challenges to leaving the country, is weighing on those inside Russia looking for an exit and those who have already left and are struggling with the bureaucratic and financial constraints of remaining abroad.

There are still some places you can still go to but you’d better leave soon.

For those rejected in Turkey, countries like Thailand, Vietnam, as well as Kazakhstan, Georgia, and Serbia have been alternative destinations, but room for Russians fleeing has been shrinking there as well.

So if Putin sends you an electronic draft notice, what happens if it ends up in your spam folder? That’s another good reason to be in Mongolia when that notice is sent.
