I mean, there are examples of people who defected from Nazi Germany to the Soviet Union (and other places too) before and during the war. Good general rule is that the earlier they did the easier a time they had of it overall.

Is the “Western world” even worth fighting for? Who is included in it? More importantly, who is excluded?

Ignoring quite a lot of generalizations and misogyny, it sounds like you’re very independent and also want to find someone else who’s very independent. Might want to get that misogyny sorted out though, most people don’t particularly like people who don’t like them, I think that’ll hamper your efforts at best. Have you tried therapy?

- 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? 4 weeks 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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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? 2 months 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? 2 months 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 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? 3 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.

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