In the early days of the war the Russian regime made regular threats to use nuclear weaponry, but most experts and lay-people believed that even that brutally sadistic despot would not go the extreme of destroying the earth to achieve his goals.

By 2024 Russia was doing small-scale ecocide in hopes of lending credence to their threats. Looking back, the poisoning of an entire riparian ecosystem connected to the Desna River in what was Ukraine should have been a clear signal of what was to come. But nobody listened and the nuclear weapons flew.

I am not making a joke here. This is where my brain naturally went when reading this. Let’s just hope my invasive thoughts are wrong.

[Edit: I am also not saying to appease this fucking psycho either. This is just a snippet of thought that I felt the urge to share.]

It’s nice to be able to rely on having dog shit stupid takes from the same username all the time. Consistency is key. Keep it up.

sharing their faith respectfully

How can you respectfully tell someone that they will burn for all eternity for not following the same book you do?

People said the exact same thing about reddit being only good for technology enthusiasts and porn in the early days.

In my experience that is just how it goes on the internet. Nerds, furries, and porn collectors, are the early adopters for most places. The normies follow along years later.

(Almost) All settings if you don’t act like an idiot/creep.

With consent, and with cells from someone I know/love - Sure!

Grown from my own cells? Fuck yes.

I also have severe malabsorption and can’t process most veg at all. I have been told hundreds of times that I am lying, and that I don’t need to eat meat. To some of these people it is better for us to suffer than to eat meat, while they claim to subscribe to a philosophy of reducing suffering.

I don’t disagree on the whole. But I think that putting ‘trust’ in any bot would be silly. However, knowing how right-skewed the bot is and using its blurb as a single data point with that in mind, is better (to me) than just not having it at all.

Hey admins. This one right here…

CAN. CONFIRM.

Your promise is worthless.

Why did you just type a bunch of asterisks in the middle of a sentence?

Despite having possibly one of the least popular cuisines in all of the earth

Are you fucking high? Not that there is anything wrong with being high, but this take is psychedelic levels of weird.

I don’t know if I would go that far ;) But thanks for the vote of confidence.

A leftist who can’t see how the tea party emboldened and created the proto-maga movement just in time for Trump to take it over.

I will once again call bullshit.

You are cute. How far into the shit-filled rabbithole do I have to go into libertarianism before I find your specific flavour of bullshit? Somewhere between rand paul and ayn rand? Or do we go deeper?

Libertarians man. What a fucking joke.

ideas that are objectively similar to maga bullshit.

Fair enough. I lived there long enough to know that some of them definitely did it purely out of spite, I just can’t imagine it is a majority.

Hey now. Alberta has a ton of morons, and slightly more than their fair share of assholes. But Hanlon’s razor* still applies. I don’t think anybody put a hitch on their truck with the express intent of causing harm somewhere. They are more likely just stupid and/or lazy.

* “Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.”

In other words: some bad things happen not because of people having bad intentions, but because they did not think it through properly. Or at all.
