I’m not saying you’re wrong, but personally, I’ve run out of fucks to give about the whole debate. I have an opinion, sure, but I don’t want to throw it into the sewage pool that is the discussion in this comment section.

Yeah, I know, but this one seems more vicious to me somehow.

My mistake is that I keep thinking the best of people, but after having been a cynic misanthropist for long enough, I’d prefer the regular disappointment over permanent bitterness.

What the fuck is this comment section even? Is vape vs cig the new Star Trek vs Star Wars, where fans of either side congregate to tear into each other with enough vitriol to make both vape and cig look healthy in comparison?

WarThunder is ripe with military nerds that love being right about their favourite tank/plane/whatever. Sometimes, these nerds have access to official documents proving that they’re right. And sometimes these nerds go on to post classified military intel for the sake of being right.

“Kinder Than Man” by Althea Davis

And God
please let the deer
on the highway
get some kind of heaven.
Something with tall soft grass
and sweet reunion.
Let the moths in porch lights
go someplace
with a thousand suns,
that taste like sugar
and get swallowed whole.
May the mice
in oil and glue
have forever dry, warm fur
and full bellies.
If I am killed
for simply living,
let death be kinder
than man.

(Note: the image titles the poem as “The Crime Of Being Small”, but the actual title appears to be “Kinder Than Man”.)

With this single “conversation” they undermined every security deal they had anywhere in the world.

I disagree. If it was a single conversation the world would be shocked but they could still cover it up. Politicians say dumb shit and walk it back all the time.

It’s the fact that his first term was already such a blundering mess in terms of diplomacy, combined with the fact that he somehow got re-elected, the accelerating bullshit ever since and now finally this mess. If they hadn’t been chipping away at any international goodwill so thoroughly, the response would be closer to “I can’t believe a US president would say that” rather than “the US as a whole is no longer reliable”.

I went back to find this post just to tell you that “my personality is the color Florida” has me cackling for several minutes now. I hope your day is as great as your jokes.

It’s probably more seeing how he reacts when frustrated that’s the red flag.

If he kept his composure until he eventually stopped playing and said “I don’t think this is my type of game”, that would have been a more mature approach to the issue than whining.
