Whether they get free meals or not, it’s literally their job.

You must live in a functioning country or something crazy like that.

Me when I have to disown my 6-year old 😔

The point is that Zelenskyy has undertaken a great deal of stress during this trying time, as many Ukrainians have. The exhaustion written on his face is saddening, because it reflects the weight of the troubles assailing Ukraine, but it also shows that he is a great man, undertaking these burdens when lesser men would have fled or given up.

I used old.reddit as well, but I noticed a marked decline in the already-not-stellar quality of comment sections and an increase in karma bots posting.

Hey, congratulations! This place has its flaws, no doubt, but it's a much improved community over what Reddit has become - especially in the past 2-3 years.

Man, when I was in high school, smartphones were getting big, but the school always tried to crack down on their very existence in school grounds (much less usage).

Got my first cell in the 8th grade. Never been fond of the things.

In the original, the despairing ending was finding the remains of human civilization, which had destroyed itself.

In the 2001 version, it bizarrely ends with the main character returning to Earth, only to find that he'd changed the past or something and apes ruled in the modern day, complete with a statue of Ape Abe Lincoln.

I suppose the image, with the T-Rex surrounded by puzzled humans, felt more like the latter than the former to me.

Doubt. Fascist fuckwads.

It's true. What a disgrace.

I would say Trump's action is less 'decisive' and more 'impulsive' for that very reason. He doesn't make decisions. He just reacts, usually to how much he's shat his diaper on a given day, or how badly he wants to impress Putin and other dictators.

I'm not saying he was worthless. But I am saying that he picked excessive caution over decisive action, and that has a price in blood - especially now that US aid is likely to dry up indefinitely.

I'm pissed at everything.

Wasn't most of it undelivered until very recently?

Fuck Biden and him falling for Cold War red line rhetoric. Ukrainians wouldn't be nearly so much at the mercy of the orange twat if Biden had shown a little fucking backbone from the start.
