Ukraine is clearly winning now against Russia. This is the most dangerous time, then. If Ukraine continues to embarrass Russia, that increases the risks for Putin personally. And that might lead to some quite crazy things.

No Comp
I hate most “smart” people because they are no competition but should be.
Dasher
I was using em dashes before most of y’all were even born. Get out of here with this “it must be AI” shit.
Rogued
Goddamn, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story is such a great film.
If you think you do not like Star Wars, get the fuck over yourself and just watch the movie. It’s a great work in any genre (and I am not a Star Wars fan). It’s one of the few films I think about a few times a week. And Felicity Jones is so very great in that movie.
Why can there not be more movies like that one?
Actually Terrible
What commonly regarded good advice from women is actually terrible advice?
If advice from women to other women is counted, it’s this:
“Have sex immediately with guys you don’t really like but do want sex from, but make the ‘good’ guys wait for sex.”
This has the exact opposite effect as the one intended. It’s terrible advice and a horrible practice if you want a quality long-term relationship.
That doesn’t mean you as a woman (or as a man) must jump into bed on the first date, but it does mean you are vastly more likely to alienate and drive away the good guys you want to stick around while the guys you don’t want stalk and harass you. It’s utterly moronic to do this.
And if I (as would many guys) found out that a woman had treated me or thought about me like this I’d dump her immediately, no questions asked.

Wow, this is excellent.

Multiply
Because I am extremely smart and know what the fuck I am doing, AI has allowed me to undertake and successfully complete projects that in the past I could’ve done but would not have attempted due to time constraints. Now, those projects that would’ve cost me days, weeks or months I can complete sometimes in hours.
Like most tools, AI makes smart people better and smarter and dumb people worse and stupider. It’s hard to avoid that — which is exactly why the left despises AI.
More Amer
Those look like the most American kids ever.
Demographic replacement only matters if you’re doing what the left wants and is undertaking, and that is replacing the existing population with feral third world rapists. That’s the bad kind.
This, however, is the good kind of demographic shift, and I’m glad they’re here. Those are some true Americans.
What the left wants is the fall of the West and so they support importing mass amounts of low-IQ scammy scummy rapists and human detritus to speed the decline and fall of their most-hated civilization. That is the crucial difference.

Music Mining
I found 24 new (to me) songs I enjoyed in the music mines tonight from listening to all or part of 382 songs. That’s a hit rate of 6.7%. Not bad.
