You are not wrong.

Maybe I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt, but it feels more like cynicism than assholeliness.

Honestly, especially with the wave of nationalism around the world, I'm a bit wary of the tendency to be proud of one's own nation as a principle.

Be proud of people. Be proud of what they accomplished. There are many PEOPLE who did, and do, commendable things in the US.

People who are complaining about season 4 of #TheBear, I have no idea what you are talking about. This show continues to make me laugh and cry more than almost any other show I've seen in the last few years.

It is, more than anything, one of the most HUMAN shows out there.

What I really love about playing the most excellent #dune Awakening is how Arrakis, the most deadly planet in the galaxy, is far less violent and hostile than current-day Earth.

I'm tired of the darkest timeline.

What is important, after this US regime falls, is not to just blindly trust that "common sense" and the "voters" will protect the constitution. There must be additional checks and balances and barriers. It is clear the office of the president holds too much power, and some of it must be stripped.

There has always been tension between the constitutional aspects of "commander in chief" powers and the vested powers of Congress to declare a war, but let's be honest, its not like trump cares about the constitution anyway.

So after trump one-sidedly announced a ceasefire, promising it is a "beautiful ceasefire that will last forever", and that the two countries "will never shoot at each other ever", Iranian missiles are already being fired.

He truly is as stupid as he is incompetent.

You were far above above average because you are a far above average manager, Blair.

I just bet that trump said "he will decide about attacking Iran in two weeks" just so that now he can think to himself "oh, I'm so clever, I attacked first! Ha ha, they never saw me coming! 4D chess!"

What a fucking moron.

Except its not an issue of "organization". Rights can exist in non-democracies.

We sanction Iran because they are a violent, racist, xenophobic, misogynistic regime that slaughters women and LGBTQIA, and its Revolutionary Guard is considered a terrorist organization in most of the world. Its not a "simple" disagreement on societal organization.

So, spent five hours trying to get a new, pretty base with a view in #dune, only for a sandworm to swallow nearly all my materials on shuttling between the bases.

Welp.

I'm so tired of the darkest timeline.

I realize that the United Federation of Planets required WW3 prior to it, but can we just... not?

The article covers a lot of the hardships we went through during #veilguard but to me, they almost didn't matter - because we went through all of it as a team. The spirit of camaraderie in the systems team was legendary. That, to me, is the biggest heartache from all of this. I miss my found family.

What's worse is that even after Malcolm's reply I still don't get it.

I am not sure if I am going to blame being old, being a non-native English speaker, or just so introverted I'm basically a human pretzel.

Oh, Bluesky is a left-wing echo chamber? Unlike the Nazi-infested cesspool that is Twitter, that isn't an echo chamber?

Give me a fucking break. Bluesky isn't an echo chamber, its just what happens when you have basic moderation. There are just more of us than them.
