Between the 1960s and 1990s, the Amu Darya and Syr Darya rivers that flowed from the mountains to supply the lake were redirected to irrigate 7 million hectares (1.7 million acres) of cotton fields for the Soviet Union.

There you go.

But also

Aralkum's dust is particularly toxic compared to the rest of the region's desert dust because it contains runoff from nearby USSR chemical weapons testing and is full of fertilizers and pesticides from the same mass agricultural practices responsible for draining the Aral Sea.

That's alchemical fire though and adding water only feeds it.

I keep forgetting its name.

What Apex needed a long time ago was more "fix it", less "milk it". Unfortunately what this individual means is "we need even more ways to milk it".

It's all dust powder anyway.

Ffs, one gander from afar at Sony is all it takes to understand the stupidity of pursuing live service games at all costs. But these people can't even be bothered to do that.

Your brain be wildin'. I suggest seeking professional help if it ever happens a second time in a short period of time. Small chance it might be an early symptom of a stroke or dementia.

They are, but your therapist might have a contract obliging them to recommend it for the purpose of obtaining large amounts of money. Being a therapist only pays well if your patients are rich fucks with daddy issues.

Also, there's a small chance that even though your fears are on point, your therapist might consider it better for you mentally to keep calm and get bent than to maintain a constant state of fear and anxiety. I hear the latter is bad for the heart.

It might be. After enough time passes, i forget where the memory comes from and only tidbits of information remain.

What's its name? I've seen some before, but rarely. Once every few years or so. Thanks

Edit: the likeliest candidate is an Old House Borer without antennae.
