what. the fake "prop firms" idiots pay to play in are paper trading. there is no "drawdown detection problem". they aren't "paying for thousands of non-revenue-generating accounts"

the accounts aren't real. the drawdowns aren't real. the only real transactions going on is incoming payments from gamblers wanting to take their shot at the casino and a small trickle of payouts to keep hope alive so the gamblers keep gambling

obviously there is a payout trust problem lmao. it's a scheme that relies on more money going in than paying out. if only there was a word to describe something like that

it's actually hilarious how trump is taking a sledgehammer to rural america after they backed him by assad margins

Absolutely not, people spoke Ukrainian on both sides of the Dnipro until forced Russification in the Soviet Union.

This was abundantly clear.svg) in the pre-Soviet census

What a fun example of divergent grammar between the two languages!

The two clauses are because треба is an impersonal verb-like particle, and Ukrainian cannot, as a rule, have a subordinate clause without a conjunction. So while in English it's fine to say "Well, there still needed to have been inspiration" (which would be my translation of this sentence), you need to separate the clauses in Ukrainian.

That's the purpose of щоб here - it's just a conjunction with many slippery meanings, and in this context it means something like "that". I can say (with more words) a similar structure in English: "Well it's still needed, that there was inspiration". In my opinion, this is understandable English, but no native speaker would speak like that.

Btw, it's similarly difficult to explain the structure "needed to have been" to Ukrainians! Think about it - word for word, it doesn't make too much sense)

(Also, I think "і" is acting more of an intensifier here than to mean "and", we would do something similar in English when we start a sentence with "and". You'll notice occasionally that "і" (or it's euphonious equivalent "й") can be thrown in weird places

Не розгадав? — от тобі й на!

Quote from Leonid Hlibov found in the beautiful online Ukrainian Academic Dictionary - obviously "of you and on" makes no literal sense in English, but it means something like "ok then, that's on you" with the exact same kind of tone)

Aloy: "You look like you've traveled far, outlander."

Rea: "From the great plains."

A less literal translation that makes more sense is probably "Kneel to nobody". See definition 2 here - честь can mean the honor one gives to someone or something
