Ukraine isn’t in a favourable position

Been hearing that take for 4 years now. At this point, you're just trying to wish it into existence every time you say it.

Couldn't agree more. That's generally the philosophy I live by.

I'd hedge my bets too if I knew I had mere minutes to live. I stand to lose nothing and I gain comfort at the end, regardless of whether or not I am rewarded with some kind of afterlife.

"Good soldier. Now, here are your next set of orders: Stand right there on those gallows and put that noose around your neck."

That's what I hope they'll say to anyone who tries to use the Nuremberg Defense when they get prosecuted for blowing up civilian boats in international waters.

I'm just a Helium atom living in a Hydrogen atoms universe.

Current and former Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) staffers are growing increasingly concerned that the work they did slashing government programs and eliminating jobs will come back to haunt them with the possibility of criminal prosecutions.

God I sure fucking hope so. Big balls getting his ass beat is not a real punishment. They should all be made to do years worth of community service. The kind of community service that would force them to interact with the people whose lives they destroyed and make them active participants in fixing things.

The construction worker and the doctor have more in common with each other than either of them do with the billionaire.

That mentality, that the two working class individuals are too different from one another to ever unify because of the fact that one makes more money than the other, is exactly the kind of mental attitude that the wealthy elite have cultivated for years to keep us at each other's throats instead of theirs.

Ideally, everyone would be in a position to break into the lowest strata of the capital class by the time they reach retirement age and can no longer work. For most people, that translates into a, IRA or 401k built over decades of years working, assets like a house appreciating in value (so that you can borrow against that increased value), and perhaps a pension or some other form of investment that yields dividends.

Even then. I'd argue that if you retire knowing that if you live within your means, your funds will last you for 20 years, you're not actually in the capital class. It doesn't matter for most people, because few people expect to be able to live for that long past retirement and they can always adjust their spending habits to push the number out a bit farther if it looks like they will outlive their retirement savings. But that's just it, it's more like a savings and not endlessly accumulating more and more wealth. For the true capital class, their money passively grows and generates more wealth faster than they can spend it.

I don't care much for metroidvanias but Dust: An Elysian Tail was fun for a playthrough or two.

You draw lines? I draw lines, too!

I presume you are referencing people who donate plasma as frequently as possible to earn extra money to survive?
