• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there any hope for Ukraine to survive as an independent state now that trump is desperately wishing for a peace treaty with Russia, even bypassing Ukraine?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ll say what I’ve been saying for a while:

  “Russia has nukes. Ukraine does not. The outcome was decided before it began.”

  Russia will stay in Ukraine as long as it is profitable to do so, and will leave when that is no longer the case or can get something big enough in response to convince them to leave. The US and EU can supply arms to Ukraine to make it less profitable but even so Russia has far more troops and resources than Ukraine. Unfortunately the US also hinged that support on Ukraine not negotiating for peace so they’ve been dug in extra deep in this and lost at least a generation of men now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm just like some ordinary dude upset about what the government is doing. Doesn't anyone with any sort of means or influence care? Where are those guys?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  This is a great way to deflect legitimate blame from the Democratic party representatives and operatives who actually deserve it, as if it isn’t their goddamn job to listen to voters.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Solidarity amongst the instances!⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Imagine having a life so empty and pointless that you whine about an instance instead of blocking it and moving on.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Solidarity amongst the instances!⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s why you’re nobody

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I got into the wrong career lol⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Fair

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I got into the wrong career lol⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Sex work is real work. When we sufficiently progress as a species the concept itself will become incomprehensible because survival sex will become incomprehensible.

  That’s the one!

  And one day, when they feel you’ve paid enough, they’ll give you a medal and serve you salmon and potato salad as well

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I got into the wrong career lol⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d tell you to go back to the hole you crawled out of but you probably are the way you are because it abandoned you

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I got into the wrong career lol⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  For women only

  More like “for anyone having sex with men”.

  Also safe to say it’s far from easy considering the dangers inherent in it, especially in countries that demonize sex workers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I got into the wrong career lol⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The problem with sex work under capitalism isn’t the worker, but the capitalism.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What procedures do you take to save and archive your games?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Sounds like those old bdr’s should be checked and possibly rearchived 😂. I think the Blu-ray M-Discs are the ones that claim the longevity.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What procedures do you take to save and archive your games?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean, you should always check your backups and make 2 for good measure, but supposedly some of these newer ones are made for archival and claim between 10-100 years. Never trust such claims without verification but if true could be the best thing for archival besides punching bits in stone.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What procedures do you take to save and archive your games?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Blu-rays are a viable backup medium for long-term storage

  Well now I’m curious as to how they date oral histories

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Am I a bad person if (as left as they come) I invest in American Private Prison contractors on the assumption that Trump will go through with his deportation scheme at least to some extent?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  In theory if you could use any profits to make counter-investments or buy enough stock to be able to influence them to move in a different direction then your strategy might be viable, but unless you literally just buy 1 share to be able to harass them at stockholder meetings then in all likelihood your money is doing more harm than good.

  Best to just straight up invest in organizations that are effective in stopping these things and influencing policy against them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Am I a bad person if (as left as they come) I invest in American Private Prison contractors on the assumption that Trump will go through with his deportation scheme at least to some extent?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There are some people who are so far out in left field that they come back around on the right again.

  Hi there! Did you know that horseshoe theory is complete and utter bullshit? A quick perusal of even Wikipedia will quickly inform the uninformed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Should Germany aquire nuclear weapons?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Any country that doesn’t want to be invaded should acquire nuclear weapons.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon questions our energy sector⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Some do. Hydro is a net positive, not sure about wind but probably, but last I heard solar not so much. That may have changed since.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon questions our energy sector⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Most are safer than nuclear, but until the environmental cost of manufacturing them is outweighed by the benefit of their use then nuclear is the least intolerable stopgap.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If a leftist ran for president, would liberals support him?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  No. Liberals have always been closer to fascists than socialists. Look which way liberals in Weimar Germany went.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon questions our energy sector⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The problem isn’t that they exploded one time. The problem is that that one explosion is still happening and likely will be for quite a while.

  On the other hand, modern rock exploding plant designs are so much better that it’s very unlikely to repeat itself, so there’s that.

  Well they didn’t do great under Cuomo, that’s for sure
