@Beau Vine wrote a post about why I boosted 1 single sock who has been being neg bombed. I added rep because of that.
I've not boosted any other socks or reincarnated because they die legitimate deaths. Permabans aren't a thing here for being a shithead, they are a thing if you actually break the rules, of which none were broken by this particular person.
Stop fucking rep stalking people. It's stupid, just put them on ignore.
I am considering changing the rules of cloak room a bit since there is a playbook across the internet that people are using to push disinformation and cause "conversations" that aren't really discussions, but just ways to spout crazy nonsense. I'm trying to figure out how to word it concisely.
Basically the ideology behind "Trust me, I'm lying" the book about how to take outrage into sensationalism and whatever. I see it all the time now in CR and it's a behavior exhibited by the alt-right to create discourse where there isn't actually discourse.
Once that's a rule then I'll start permabanning people for doing that.

we should go to standard time not daylight savings time. I'm fine with it, but they should standardize with the rest of the world on standard time not some bullshit made up timezone.

I don't think Americans protesting in the street is going to do anything to move this along any faster. That's pipe dream shit.
It's all I hear about in public, at bars, at the office water cooler, at the donut shop on saturday morning, etc. The American public is very aware of the situation. But protesting in the streets isn't going to make a shit. It'd be like protesting the month of March not being April.
Yeah sure. Representative governments seem to respond best to water cooler talks.

Let's try and see if we can get to that bridge before we blow up the planet.
Russia hasn't mentioned nukes in a while. They aren't sabre rattling. They know they can't nuke over Ukraine or sanctions. China probably told them if you are gonna go nuke ready we are going to point a couple your way just so you don't get an itchy finger.
NO ONE, Russia included wants nuclear war. Russia just wanted everyone to stay out of the Ukraine fight while he took over - the optics at this point wouldn't be right if anyone else got involved even without the nuclear threat. This is still a conflict between Russia and Ukraine in which war crimes are being committed by Russia in full view of the rest of the world.
If Russia escalates into NATO territory I still think it remains conventional only, as there are no offensive intentions from NATO. We drew a line in the sand if you walk past it we are throwing punches, but if you jump across and back without getting KO then you are welcome to play that game.

Totally get it, and I've seen the pic, but just saying it could probably be really hard for some to cope with. Thanks
I think that's the point. You should feel absolutely fucking terrified and scarred for however long it takes to make sure this never happens again anywhere. If everyone here was protesting like the rest of Europe things would move much faster.

I think we are beyond the nuclear option at this point. There is no reason to escalate beyond conventional war and all the nuclear powers know this. The Hague rules tomorrow and once that happens I think we see a large shift in the world against Russia and the pressure for them to take the L however long that may take.
Once they take the L and go home, they will just wither away and regime change will come with denuclearization or just being fucking irrelevant. They will never be a part of the global economy again if they continue down their current path and revolutions will happen internally as the government gets too weak to defend all of Russia.
They have lost control domestically and in their main theater of military operation, what we are seeing now is the chicken running around after it's head has been removed.

Pretty interesting read from a couple years ago. Exactly as it's happening now, an "undeclared" war.
So interesting how "lock down" used to be a prison term only and after China adopted it against it's own people the West started doing it too.

No more manufacturing chips for the US. They just steal all the intellectual property and sell to other dictatorships like Russia
That’s not how any of this works lol.

Don't take it personally, but I neg all of your posts immediately without reading because you've already been crowdsourced and came back with a new username and I neg everyone like that. But if I bothered to read your posts, I'd probably neg them anyways, because you're a pathetic hateful shitstain, and you can take that personally if you'd like. Also, go fuck yourself.
Knock it off or lose rep entirely

From what I keep hearing China is expected to step in and save Russia, so I imagine Russia can last longer than that.

Unreal how the entire world overestimated their military by about a factor of 10.
more than by a factor of 10 - I believed Russia could fight nearly indefinitely in conventional warfare before this.

imagine not having enough military firepower to fight a month of 40% of your deployed force at war for less than 30 days.
Russia is beyond fucked, no one will care even if they withdraw now and they will be forced to denuclearize to join the international community again.
The great part about russia denuclearizing is I think it's actually a path forward for everyone to denuclearize - the main reason we kept them is because of them, not because of China -China doesn't want nukes, they just have to have them because we have them. I'm not sure if we want nukes or not, but if Russia didn't have them I think there could be some serious lobbying done to get rid of them forever.

We ought to make it clear to China that if they provide military assistance to Russia, then we will in turn ratchet up our military sales to Taiwan, including the F-35 and our more advanced anti-ship missiles.
China isn't stupid they aren't getting involved. If it was just the US and Ukraine they would, this is the whole world vs Russia. China needs to steer clear for their own sake.

Coworker is Polish and is hosting a family at his place. I'm trying to find out how I can do something similar.
You can rent rooms at any hotel and tell them to 0ut as many refugees as policy allows there for however many days. You could rent for a month.

I understand, conceptually, what you're saying. But, to plays devil's advocate, literally everything I love and spend all my free time doing is the type of thing a kid wouldn't be able to do for a decade, if they're even interested in it at that point.
Well the good news is you will no longer have free time.

*Disclaimer. I have six kids, always wanted kids, married a lady that always wanted kids. It was always the plan/goal/whatever for us.
Can't imagine life without the kids. With hindsight, it didn't feel like life before kids was real life. Just practicing and growing up a bit.
Kids are extremely malleable, durable, and adaptable. If you are into something you fear you might lose with kids, you just do it with the kids. Most don't...we don't. We molded our life around the kids and their activities. But many keep on doing what they love and drag the kids along. That's more of a choice than a requirement. If your dream is to follow the F1 circuit around the world, you can easily take the fam and homeschool or take a year off. You want to sail around the world...plenty do that with kids.
But you will find that once you have kids, they way you analyze, prioritize, or even maintain you dreams/hobbies shift. Not because it has to, but because you want to.
I used to travel to all the MLB ball parks. Now I'd rather watch my kids play sports then drag them to do my thing they may or may not give two shits about.
That’s because you are a good parent. Parents that do what you are saying is possible are bad parents for the most part

How much do you like your current life? If you still have a large social life and those friends don’t have kids and don’t plan to have kids soon you are going to be in for a serious change if you don’t want to be a bad parent.
being a parent sucks (so far for 2 years). Your schedule completely revolves around a person who can’t tell you anything and needs structure to have healthy brain development. Sleeping in past 8AM on a good day is not even a thing. There is no such thing as spontaneous anything, example from just today: Monster Truck Jam is in austin at FEC, thought oh shit that would be cool and almost bought tickets, then realized I would have to go to Walmart with him to get ear protection (shopping with toddlers is hell)then park and get there only for it to be lunch time around the time we arrive, then I remembered you can’t take diaper bags and shit into FEC and everything needs to be in a clear backpack, which I don’t have because why the fuck would I. That means I’d have to be chasing a 2 year old who probably wants to walk around downtown austin with headphones in hand and trying to juggle that and buy food to give him. On top of all that he goes down for a nap after he eats at 1ish which is when the shit starts and who knows how he would react could be full meltdown could be awesome. Regardless it’s going to be awful when we leave because he’s going to fall asleep for 30 minutes on the way home if lucky and be cranky as fuck the rest of the day. I just decided fuck it we aren’t doing that.
instead we get to pay 60 dollars to go to dinner and hang out for a few hours sans kid because there’s a parents night out thing at daycare.
the pros are you have a cool human that you get to have a rewarding relationship and bond with, so far that’s pretty much the only pro I’ve experienced. I also don’t like kids generally speaking. I genuinely have no interest in monster jam, but it’s cool to see him experience things for the first time or experience things he likes. There is no way to feel the feelings you get when your kid is experiencing pure joy - it’s fascinating and incredible. Seeing them develop and seeing yourself and the mom in them is also mind bottlingly cool. Your brain gets rewired to get dopamine rushes from seeing your kid happy. You constantly thing of cool things to experience and do with them or teach them. It’s unbelievably rewarding.
I just want to reiterate that it also destroys your “life”, your job now is to make sure their life doesn’t suck and your life becomes completely secondary. that trip to key west was the last time I had real alone adult time to myself to just do whatever the fuck I wanted without having to worry about anything. I get that freedom once every 2 years since the baby was born so far.

Well then I hope you shun the Ukrainian refugees that just took a quiet train out and only embrace those that had to do commando rolls to avoid gunfire.
I'm beyond this argument. They are not comparable is the point. All kids deserve to be safe as stated earlier, but from a refugee perspective they are completely different.
