Any peace “deal” regarding Ukraine would just be there to allow Putin and Russia to rebuild military strength and take the rest of the country in 2-3 years.
Of course. Anyone who thinks anything else is a full-on idiot.

If you notice a student being bullied in your class, DO SOMETHING.
My teachers did do something. They told me I deserved it and not to complain about it, and if I fought back I’d be the one getting punished. Which was true — I did get severely penalized if I resisted.
So my teachers did a lot. All psychotic stuff, but something.
We are heading towards feudalism with technological characteristics.
It’s a regression to the mean of human history post-agricultural revolution, I guess. Good times, good times.

This is why piracy is the only ethical consumption method today. Sailing the seven seas is the way you should do most everything, unless you are handing (or sending) an artist money directly.
Screw the system because it absolutely is gonna screw you.
What these nihilistic vandals are doing to dismantle science & medicineโgenerations of expertise & public service & life improving benefitsโis cultural revolution level national self harm. No foreign foe could inflict such brutal damage & senseless suffering on US so fast & effectively & unresisted.

This kind of damage will take 50-80 years to recover from, if it happens at all. At this rate, we don’t have a hope against China.
When President Musk and yappy dog Trump are done, the country will be poorer and weaker. Granted.
But I’d like to point out that the country was also made worse and less hospitable for more than half the population by pervasive and unrestrained NIMBYism, which was mostly a PMC centrist-liberal movement. This has caused enormous harm to the United States and its future.
However, because the NIMBYs were and are seen to have their hearts in the right place it does not get counted among the grave errors of our age. And it really should.
They locked about half the population out of the housing market and reduced potential GDP 30-50%. And that’s a big fucking deal.

Fuckkkkkkkkkkk noooooooo. This is something I can guarantee I will never, ever do. What kind of clown would allow this?
Ok, don’t answer that. This falls under the category of things I will not do because I do not do the things that dipshits do.
You just know there was going to come a terrible reckoning when the liberals started claiming crazy shit like that biological sex doesn’t exist, humans have more than two sexes genetically1, that bio men belong on women’s sports teams, and that it’s wonderful for a wild-eyed vagrant to have a little sexual assault, as a treat.
And now here we are. You idiots are just as responsible for Trump and his destruction as the Project 2025 people.
Own it. Of course, I know you will not. Fucking dumbasses.
When will this market improve? Is my career already over?
Over? Probably not. Significantly curtailed.
If you don’t have at least 10-12 years of experience, tech is not a good career now. Jobs are being shipped to India/LATAM left and right and taken over by AI. And no, no one who “matters” cares that the jobs aren’t done as well, or that Americans will suffer because of it.
Tech is being hollowed out, like other fields before it.
We’ve really done Ukraine dirty. And by “we,” I mean the US, NATO and the EU. We allowed them to absorb all the Russian aggression and revanchism while providing just barely enough support to survive.
And we’ll pay for that. More specifically, the Baltics, Poland and Germany will. At least they’ll get it the worst.
Wait and see.
I do think that allowing mass Islamic immigration was an actual leftist plot to destroy Western societies. I don’t think it was even that well-hidden. Just as they embrace Putin for similar reasons.
They didn’t even conceal it. The price is, you know, millions of women being assaulted and raped who otherwise would not have been. But no biggie, right? Not to them, I guess.
This has already happened in Germany. Letting North African1 and Islamic men immigrate en masse is a terrible, terrible mistake. Nothing good at all can ever come of that.
It has doomed Germany and it will destroy Japan if they keep it up.
My Windows Computer Just Doesn’t Feel Like Mine Anymore.
Windows is now a user-hostile ad-optimized data-thievin’ despicable disaster. The first time I saw an ad for fucking Candy Crush in Windows I vowed to never use it for my main OS again.
Watching Microsoft shills (some of whom are not even being paid — now that’s sad!) try to sell us on this like a two-bit carnival barker has been quite the amusing experience. But if you tell people some harmful change is made for “security,” they’ll believe just about any outlandish thing.
