  • Oh. Oh I DARE you russia. I DARE you to try to push America around using airplanes and terrorism. Fuck around and find out what happens when you give America a REASON to attack an oil rich country with justified claims of fighting a war on terror.

    America see’s a plane explode midair, the very first thing that gets asked in this country is “Who did it?” And the SECOND that question is answered, this entire country will be calling for us to bomb them to the stone age.

    See, the MAD doctrine only applies when you have sane, rational, logical people dealing with a situation. Have you seen this country? We’re so trigger happy that we’re going to malls and movie theaters and schools, just shooting anyone. We feel abandoned by our government. We feel hopeless. We feel angry. We feel irritated. We feel frustrated. We’ve been in a never ending election cycle for 24 years. Yes, I realize elections were every 4 years even before 2000, but at least prior to that it felt like politics went away for 3 1/2 years after each election. We’ve been in the 2024 election season since 2015. In no small part due to russian election interfearance.

    We’re at each others throats. We’re ready to kill. We’re ready to die. We’re ready…and now you want to become the target? You want to be the thing that unites us all, and says “You know what, you’re republican. I’m democrat. We’re both American…and these fuckers just attacked US. YOU READY TO GO TO WAR FRIEND???” and that republican would pull 16 guns from his hip, his boots, his legs, his jacket, and who knows where else? And why does he have all these guns on his person? Because it’s Tuesday! He’d say "We may have our differences, but take these 6 guns. I brought extras! I thought there might be a line for the buffet at cracker barrel. I wasn’t going to face that without extra guns! Sure, I may have already had 5 on me, but who would face a cracker barrel lunch rush without an extra 11 guns, and whiskey???

    And THIS is the country russia wants to start shit with???

    Russia. I fucking dare you.

    What’s wrong with just throwing MP3s on an SD card, or hard drive?

    Edit: Love how I have 4 upvotes, 4 downvotes. So a pretty divicive statement I’ve made. Yet nobody has told me why mp3s on local storage is or is not a solution for self hosting music. No opinions shared, other than angry arrows in both directions.

    Cool. Cool. Cool. Cool.







  • Don’t be sad that it’s over. Be happy that it happened. Everything in life is temporary. Eventually it all ends. And plenty of cool stuff never gets to happen. Like teleportation. I’d LOVE for my work commute to take 2 seconds. Or big mouth singing bass that start vomiting money. Those things don’t exist, and never existed.

    Instead I have to take the bus like a pleb! And earn my living by doing work, instead of listening to a sickly plastic fish.

    But James Earl Jones existing DID get to happen! And you shared a planet with him. And he didn’t die some horrible death…he died at 93. He didn’t get shot dead at 17. He got to do lots of cool stuff. And you got to witness it.

    Don’t be sad it’s over. Be happy that it happened.







  • I have been wondering since this war started, what’s preventing China from just taking ALL of Russia. Like, 2021? That’s Russia. 2025? That’s China now.

    Russia would never threaten China with nukes, because 1) China ALSO has nukes, and 2) China has been the only thing keeping Russia afloat recently.

    So what if something like 9,000,000 soldiers all collectively invaded Russia from one central entrypoint as far east as Chinas border is along Russias, thus splitting Russias military in a two way war.

    The United States wouldn’t get involved because that would mean they’re helping Russia. But also, who else WOULD get involved? Putin is lucky that China doesn’t have ME as it’s head of state. Because from my perspective, it’s free real estate that nobody wants to defend, being occupied by a tiger army, and it’s land is full of resources that if China were to monopolize, would grant them a grip around the balls of the rest of the world.

    But it would have to be a scorched earth kind of invasion. The kind that pisses off basically everyone, because it leaves every single Russian, military, or citizen, dead. They’d have to come in, take everything, and kill everything. Take the land. The only thing they have to make sure of, is that they DON’T fight Ukraine. They tell Ukraine “We won’t invade your space, but Russia is ours”. And Ukraine would probably take that deal.

    But it seems China is very VERY averse to war right now. Which tells me, they aren’t ready for a war.




  • Well…I took Biden at his word. I thought him having actual empathy meant he could empathize with Ukrainian mothers losing their sons. I thought the goal was to bring the war to an fnd without causing WWIII. I thought it was a balancing act.

    But now I see no balancing act. I just see a never ending war, played like a game, with human lives as the game pieces. Thrown around like monopoly money. But these people are actual real people. Having their home invaded by a ruthless dictator who claims to be anti-nazi, but is legitimately the modern day hitler.

    I guess I’m just disappointed in my country for treating war like a game, and ignoring the death tally.
