No, I’m sure you’re completely correct and they had a totally appropriate conversation between two sane adults. Nothing nefarious going on there.
Just because I’m curious, who do you think benefits the most from the US completely imploding their military on this little adventure they’re on right now?
Putin told him who’s in charge, in case he somehow thought he’d be off the hook because he’s now a big man president. Then he threw out the interpreter so he could gobble Putin’s balls while he has the chance.
The rest I’ll leave to your imagination.
Pathfinder is awesome.
Take a wild guess who’s staying.
Have been for a while now. In neat (read: horrible) little tabs that never go away unless you manually force them to.
If Microsoft can help it Copilot is integrated absolutely everywhere by the time they’re done fucking up their own OS.
No need to open anything.
They want to control, not govern. At this rate they’ll be there soon enough.
Ironically a lot of those questions will probably be asked to Copilot itself first and hilarity will inevitably ensue.
It’s probably after that that the tickets will rain down en masse and they deserve nothing less :D
It’s almost impressive how you managed to get all the bs russian talking points into such a short post. Almost.
Same same. It’s a whole other game when you can progress at your own pace and don’t have to worry about resets.
We’re in agreement then. I mean, I don’t have anything in particular against China as such, I just don’t like how they handled COVID and I certainly have some issues with their governance at large, but their money would still be welcome if there was proper oversight.
I do hope WHO will get up and running at 100% though, they’re sorely needed. Considering what’s happening in the US I don’t think it’ll be long before some shit happens over there as well.
I’m with you there, in theory at least. Chinese money tends to come with strings attached, though. I’d be weary of that kind of influence without proper oversight.
It’s not like the WHO hasn’t flip-flopped on things before due to outside pressure either, so there’s some precedent there.
Yeah, because that’ll surely end well. Any strong democracy would be a lot better than either the US or China.
China still hasn’t been anywhere near transparent about COVID, for example. Do you really think they’d be any better if an outbreak of something similar would happen, especially if it originated from China in the first place.
My point is nobody was exactly innocent there, and while we were allies of convenience with Germany for a time we also got help from none other than Great Britain, Sweden and even the US in the same timeframe. We were never part of the third Reich in any capacity, and you damn well know it.
Also, we fought a defensive war, not an offensive one.
Kasumi from DoA, no doubt.
That same grandfather fought on the red side of our civil war. You’re writing about things you know fuck all about. Russia attacked us, we struck them back worse. Twice. Then we fought the Germans right after that for good measure, and kicked those out too.
Westerner or not at least get your fuckin facts straight before spouting off.
I’m Finnish. Might know a thing or two about what they’re up to both short and long term.
I might even read passable russian since it’s something that’s pretty important in the area I live in, about an hour from the border.
My grandfather was 'naded in the continuation war too, but please do continue to act like you’re the expert here.
When I was young I lived in a commune of sorts, with artists and hippies* and what not. Every few weeks a couple of us did just that, because why wouldn’t we?
Also later when I worked in a group home for elderly autistic people in all shapes and sizes that experience came in handy as I was used to the smell. Usually I ended up doing the shittiest (harhar) cleaning duties and it never really bothered me even though we were supposed to rotate. One of the nurses with over a decade of experience refused to even enter a room while I was emptying the stomach contents of one particularly tricky patient (he essentially had plugs straight into his stomach for both in and output, they definitely generated some interesting smells).
Sure, I got paid for the latter half, but I still did that stuff daily for years.
Later when I became a father there was absolutely nothing that could faze me anymore. Sort of glad I got to experience all that, weirdly enough. I even miss that job sometimes, felt like I at least did something meaningful.
