It’s possible. Feels like things are accelerating, though. The towns seem to be falling faster.

Chasiv Yar looking absolutely fucked.

Hexbears have one joke and it’s hugely comical

Don’t buy it. This is just posturing the same way Putin said in 2022 that nuclear war was a possibility. It’s remote. Whatever is left of Ukraine might join NATO after the war, if anything. Even if they joined before the end, nothing would change. Even dementia man does not want nuclear war with Russia.

They aren’t wrong tho

Only because of you TANKIES!!!1!!! VOTE BAIDEN VOTE BAIDEN VOTE

Stopped following the story because it was extremely boring but read the author’s updated ending and it seemed like maybe a ‘war is bad’ thing to me (spoiler: there’s a time lapse into the future of civilization developing then having another war then some future kid accidentally discovers the plot device and it’s implied that the story loops over). I think the rest of the story is more dumb than malicious but I could be wrong. I don’t think you’re supposed to support the main character’s genocide just like you’re not supposed to support Walter White.

I think I agree if and only if they acknowledge their own country’s crimes, too. What I don’t tolerate is Japanese facists malding over Oppenheimer and simultaneously saying Japan did nothing wrong. Not saying every Japanese person does that, but there’s a lot of denialism.

It’s not dying on any hill to point out that Japanese fascists are malding over Oppenheimer. Who said I like the blue checkmarks? You’re jumping to a lot of conclusions.

Yes Japanese nationalists refuse to admit their WW2 crimes

That’s the problem.

The historian seems pretty sus for waxing on about war crimes while the Japanese fascists did worse to Chinese, Korean, and other civilians. Japan was not the victim of WW2.

Japanese fascists are mad about Oppenheimer (twitter link https://x.com/ajplus/status/1774869779641422289)

Obviously intentionally killing civilians is bad but it’s pretty fucking rich for the Japanese to be mad about war crimes. Fascists seethe.

Beautiful.

They don’t owe it to us and I understand their skepticism of westerners (spies etc.) but I fucking wish the DPRK, China, Cuba, and Viet Nam gave visas to international socialists who are disillusioned with their own countries and want to defect.

We’re not losing we’re not losing

I had some sort of gum infection that cleared up with antibiotics from the ER (it swelled pretty bad). Went to a dentist to make sure it wasn’t a deeper problem with my roots or something. First thing they did was a painful set of x-rays that proved my roots were FINE. So the dude bumps me around to see three different kinds of dental experts, none of them could figure out what the cause might have been. Lastly they recommend I get FOUR TEETH REMOVED (WTF?!). I never went back. Guess what? I’m fine.

Jokes on you; I haven’t run a system update since 2006

State atheism is EXTREMELY good, unironically.
