I don’t know. Trump despises California and he has threatened to cut off federal funding to the state.

It isn’t anti-Semitic to say one is a actually poor Russian desperate for money who needs to have pipe in his home installed by posting back to back to reach a quota.

Money speaks. You of all people should know that.

Tell that to the Russian oligarchs who weren’t told that their tsar want to go to war and are now suffering from sanctions. They are pissed thay their assets got frozen!

Realistically, no one worth their salt could replace Putin and expect that person to hold Russia together. Putin made sure no one could upstage him.
The best case scenario for Russia post-Putin is to have a Maduro-type leader. Someone competent enough to hold on to power and enrich his cronies ~boyars~, although could never have the charisma to gain enough popular support and cult following of his predecessor. Thus, the next leader is in a precarious hold on the power like Maduro.

It is inevitable.
- Comment on The future of warfare is now 2 days ago:
His successor will be less incompetent.
- Comment on The future of warfare is now 3 days ago:
True. Because with the rate of Russian advance, it will take them decades to even fully occupy the oblasts they want to occupy. By then, Putin will be dead and that is only when Russia fully ceases attacking.

The war stops when Russia, imperialist aggressor, stops.

Well, all living beings came from a common primordial ancestor, so it makes sense that some features are shared.

I do think there is psyops to wedge the progressives and liberals. However, this benefits the blue MAGA nonetheless. The blue MAGA kept going on about the “lesser evil” and “perfect is the enemy of good” phrases. It occured to me that it is a thought terminating response from criticising the Democratic Party from actually being active to go further left in order to finally quash the far-right. Moreover, those phrases are also usually conservative phrases to convince people to accept the status quo. This make the Democratic party conservative. And the problem with conservatives is they would rather side with fascists, than to rein the ills of capitalism to keep the monied interests happy. The right and conservative parties in 1934 Germany elected to give Hitler absolute power while the left opposed it. Ninety years later in the US, which party allowed the GOP bill to gut welfare programmes? It is the Democrats with Chuck Schumer. Progressives have the last laugh over liberals/blue MAGA being wrong on “vote blue, no matter who” nonsense (although fascists indeed would like the left to have the last laugh before sending us to concentration camps). The Democrats would vote with MAGA regardless of whether or not they have the majority anyway!
- Comment on Helldivers 2 and Palworld devs wish players understood that 'easy' additions and updates are sometimes really hard: 'That's half a year's work. That takes six months' 2 weeks ago:
Well, the fact is that there are also a LOT of dumb customers willing to buy crap.
As much as everyone love Oblivion…it all started from there with the $9 horse armour DLC.
God knows why.
Yet somehow there’s enough of a customer base for that that they sell it.
Kids. Fucking kids. Thankfully I am never that stupid to buy individual DLCs even when I was a child, which is compounded by familial circumstances and education, but kids will be kids. Either they stole their parent’s credit card to pay for useless virtual items, or they were spoiled and never taught with financial literacy.

Anon, it took one hundred years of trial and errors in design and mechanical failures, resulting in hundreds of deaths, to perfect the dark arts of aviation.

Now that you mentioned it, the government is now all mask off on what they mean when they say US is “too diverse for affordable healthcare”.

And the right won that war
I assume you are from the US. It may be the case in your country, but it is not necessarily that the right as a whole won the war, considering that other parts of the world still have leftist and liberal politicians ruling. As a matter of fact, they have gotten more popular as Trump’s brazen corruption and incompetence is setting example why not to elect populist right wing politicians.
For what it’s worth, if nothing existentially happens that would stop US from becoming a nation anymore like a civil war, politics typically swing back like a pendulum. Even at the extreme, politics could dramatically swing back to normalcy and empathy. We have had countries that were under dictatorship, but are now democratic like Spain and Portugal. Because the problem with dictatorships is that they become too corrupt and reality eventually catches up to those who were swooned by initial sweet promises of demagoguery.
Of course, what I just said now may not be reassuring to you because I am speaking from a place of relative safety, so you can take it or leave it.

As someone mentioned already, wait until actually signing the contract before moving. It is not “privileged” not to put the cart before the horse.

Care to explain why you would think only the privileged are the ones who tend not to put the cart before the horse?
- Comment on We gonna fight 3 weeks ago:
I approve of any leftist as long as they are anti-authoritarian.
so that it appears leftists are always fighting since they are all lumped into the same category.
I always say it is because the left in general has its roots in old school liberal value of “think for yourself”. So there typically tends to be maverick attitude and in-fighting. The best example is the Spanish Republicans during the Spanish Civil War; you have soc dems, communists and anarchists fighting together not just against fascists, but also themselves. The right, meanwhile value order and hierarchy, so they tend to easily set aside their differences. Again, the Spanish Civil War is the best example, with the Spanish Nationalists also composed of various factions with competing agenda, but managed to set aside their differences, which made it all the easier to do because they had a strong man figure to rally to.

But people don’t experience attraction before puberty, right? How do they know what groups of people they’ll grow up to be attracted to?
Well, we all have crushes when we were kids, don’t you agree?

And predators in movies waste so much energy chasing one miniscule prey, which yield insignificant amount of calories, for hours if not days. Ladies and gentlemen, Hollywood may have just discovered the first known example of an animal that exhibit autism.
- Comment on Found Lily and Mitch 5 weeks ago:
Plenty of kids already know if they are gay or not. In my home country, I have had classmates in elementary school who are openly gay. Some cultures find it awkward to talk about it to children, whereas in some, tolerance and acceptance to lgbt is part of culture. I probably don’t need to mention about the concept and existence of third genders since the ancient times.

- Comment on What's the point in getting married? 1 month ago:
Depending where you are, there are tax benefits to legally married couples.
If cost is an issue, you can have cheap wedding. But I think the concern is more cultural in which there is an implicit expectation to have a grandiose wedding, like in a church and have a huge gathering and party with dozens if not hundreds of attendees.
- Comment on Religions have some of the wackiest rules 1 month ago:
You are quite right. There is a tribe in East Africa which makes a hole on their lower lip and place a huge disk into it. It is theorised that the practice started to prevent lockjaw disease that may have been prevalent in the area eons ago. I am not sure how this prevents lockjaw but maybe for them it works.
