I just hope if he loses, it’s by a wide margin so there’s no challenge. Just decisive victory and we can all move on….

Mods maybe? 🤔

Came here to find this comment - it’s simply true.

Don’t care - vote. 🗳️

Early on I saw videos of people surrendering to drones but I haven’t seen a recent video like that since so I wasn’t sure if the situation changed that much. You definitely explained a lot, thanks.

I haven’t checked, but are Ukrainians taking hostages at this point? Like, if he laid down arms and surrendered, would Ukraine take him in? I know they were at one point and I also know is can be very dangerous to claim surrendered soldiers too, depending on the context.

I just miss the intellectual depth of anime like the Patlabor, Macross Plus, Ghost in the Shell, Akira movies. The last show I loved from beginning to end was Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood. Macross Frontier was alright. I was also one of the odd(?) ones who enjoyed Naruto when it over explained ninjitsu. The art, I understand overhead costs, So I can be more forgiving - so long as art quality isn’t trash. There was a time when anime was ahead of its time. You just don’t see that much anymore 😭

Wait, there are people who don’t? J/k but I like to pretend to kick the air as if I’m kicking a door open/down. I get looks, and I’m okay with that.

This is the only war in my life that I fully support. Ukraine needs full support and the consequences of losing are extremely costly to all who hate fascism.

Tried looking up some news on this - anyone have a reliable link?

There’s some interesting ways of understanding “dark energy.” This is just one.

This, 100%. Even when a case seems won, don’t give your opponent anything to muddy the water. I hope she owns this mistake and tightens her process.

“The Kremlin has never been richer – thanks to a US strategic partner”

I don’t know, maybe we should stop this…

As far as I can tell, it’s a purple state. The right republican would have to come along to pull moderates/libertarians in the state and Trump will only lose the state again - he talked a lot of shit about John McCain; that’s not going to go well. Don’t get me wrong, every state has it’s Trump cultists, but there’s just not enough.

The issue I have is that so many users are uneducated and read some disinformation, take it as truth and then vote accordingly. I don’t want to see certain things but I go out of my way to use multiple sources that are as unbiased as possible. But so many consume extremely biased propaganda and live according to that constructed view that they think is reality. I know there’s no easy answer, but the problem is clear and so long as the rich can easily take advantage of the useful idiots, it’s a struggle for progress in society…

I love science, like experimentally observed science or at least practical theoretical science, but Youtube tries to shove every crackpot nonsense they can at me. I watch one political thing and now they try and shove every conservative propaganda they can at me. It feels like when I was young, the internet was too much for conservitives to understand and control…not anymore. What’s the one true power conservatives have? Money. Now they’re ether buying up social companies or their CEOs left right and center - or at least bringing tech leadership into the ultra-rich fold. Where they are winning without exception, is in isolating the majority of their voters. Now, there’s no longer a shared reality and the divide seems to wide to close. Conservatives wanted brainwashed cult followers and did everything they could to make it happen. Now Idiocy seems far more real on the right with each passing year.

“And I would have gotten away with it too, if it weren’t for you meddling westerners!

You have to go out of your way to avoid national propaganda and put in even more effort to access other views. Half seems low but propaganda is a hell of a drug.

It’s the niche topics that need more activity. I love science - mostly space/physics - and it’s mostly a ghost town. Once the unique corners grow their activity, it’s going to be great.
