Brought to us by the same people that claimed Russia was fighting with WWII shovels, end of war is near, sanctions will kill the Russian economy, etc.

Hence why they're now pressing students and immigrants into emergency armed service. Because they're getting their asses beat. This all checks out. A stable country with a well functioning modern military doesn't extend a 3 day operation into 3 years, lose half a million troops, and then press-gang their students into the draft. These are signs of failure.

If that was his plan he should have sent them in first before he lost 470,000 registered soldiers. This is a desperation move, and if not that, then it is one of absolutely colossal foolishness. Neither is a good look for Putin.

That's when I purposely sit at the light for an extra 5 seconds before moving. Am I an asshole? Maybe.

95% of their customers are businesses, who no, they don't understand that. But their IT department does.

Only a true AdMech would consider his backup file to be an STC. I'm laughing, but also, respect. Praise the Omnissiah.

Disagree. Currency allowed the flourishing of civilization. You can't effectively trade between cultures or at long distances on the barter system.

What we've done with currency since then, yeah, maybe we're on the same side there. But currency, created as an abstract for value, was a great invention. Civilization as we know it would not have been possible without it.

Though, now that I mention that.... maybe civilization "as we know it" isn't so hot after all.

Don't you love when you end up talking yourself out of your own argument?

"Realistic goals" at this point have simply become to move away from America until it goes the way of the Roman Empire, then come back to rebuild the ashes.

You realize the office of the US President is involved in important things in the world

Such as maintaining the safety and full functioning of the United States of America? Yes, you're completely correct. That's exactly why this needs to happen.

Seriously, this is a valid point. Introverts, please at least try to have more than a single friend. It's hard, I know, I'm one of you. But I've also been someone else's only friend and sometimes you just can't be there when they need you. It doesn't mean they love you any less but each person is the main character of their own story, not yours, and sometimes you can't be the focus of today's chapter. Having more than one person you can lean on will be better for you and better for each of those friends and it'll help you keep friends longer.

While I definitely agree with this and encourage it, most often this happens at work. I got shit to do, I don't have the time to debate politics with a random customer. Sometimes I'd love to, and some rare times I actually get to have a good long conversation with someone like that, but 99% of the time I really want you to just shut up so I can keep it moving. No matter how much I want to tell someone that Game of Thrones was a genuinely good show for 80% of its runtime, or that Joe Biden isn't the literal devil.
