  1. How do you say "They're shitty, we should win convincingly" in Ukrainian?
  2. I liked the patch, too. Sorry, more just a comment about him in general. Hard to describe but the backdrop is I’m pretty sure whatever psychological effect happens when we get hooked on “likes” is going to be the end of us… There’s just something about that addiction crossed with the violent voyeurism that’s fueling it that feels yucky to me.
  3. of all the social media intention starved avatars, the 'look i'm fighting in a war' one is the cringiest to me.
  4. I guess the theory was we'd give them a taste of that sweet, sweet capitalism and they'd become more progressive and want democracy?
  5. Sorry, I meant decades ago before we decided to go all-in on a Communist government. Was there anybody saying “uhhh, you sure we should do this?” Was the reward in China so much greater than the risk?
  6. we couldn't find anywhere else that could make cheap shit?
  7. But nevermind that tangent, let's get back to talking about CHINA!
  8. But people aren’t having a problem separating “good information” versus “bad information”. In fact they’re incredibly efficient at it. The problem is how those ideas are defined. Namely, good info is stuff that confirms their viewpoint while bad info is anything that challenges it. We’re in a post-truth world, embrace your narrative!
  9. Nah man. There is a large portion of our society that won’t even consider (and often times never even see) information that challenges their beliefs. They aren’t consuming various pieces of information and trying and failing to process all of it due to too much info. They're doing the opposite. Blindly accepting information (often times not even rooted in reality) while wholly rejecting anything that challenges their truth.
  10. Sorry, but that’s absurd. China deciding to arm Russia and fight a proxy war with the West is a massive deal. The idea we can’t talk about that possibility IN THE THREAD DISCUSSING SAID WAR is insane.
  11. we’re talking about China playing an active role in this war and discussing the ripple effect that could have. Stop being a thread nazi.
  12. My 3 year old has a higher pain tolerance than the US populace. China knows that.
  13. Spoiler: pessimism incoming I think China is going to supply weapons to the Ruskies.
  14. Hoping our leaders are up to the task feels like a bad plan.
  15. Haven’t watched the video but what is it that you think Putin wants and doesn’t want? I think it’s safe to say those deciding the West’s response to all this don’t share your confidence.
  16. lulz. I know I'm in a bad headspace when my wife says 'you need to go fishing'.
  17. Less, but yeah. At some point, Elmo is going to begin to hate Twitter. His ego simply won't be able to handle all of the personal failure it represents. That's when it's going to get really awesome to watch.
  18. You’re probably right. I swing wildly to the extremes. Give me a week.
