ICQ will stop working on June 26. It's encouraging users to migrate to a messaging app from Russia-based VK, its parent company.

I stopped using ICQ in the very early 00s. I didn't know anything of it still remained.

That's the same with one armed conflict that bothers me much. In the 90s there it was called "blood vs oil" by one charismatic man (who also correctly predicted how it'd go further, though), and, well, then "blood" won, and "oil" looked miserable - evil, dishonorable and defeated, all at the same time. But in 10 years they figured it out completely, in 20 years applied that power in every area they needed (mostly not military), in 25 had a big military victory, and now the situation really sucks from the looks of it.

What?

You don't understand something - you either explain what you don't understand or you remain silent. This "what" implies my comment is something weird which it isn't, you're just slow or apparently lack ability for doing philosophy.

If it's the bad English, "what" is also utterly useless.

you failed to convey context, and meaning. your response to the what is worse.

lol. Posts shitty nonsense and is then an asshole about it.
