Mom, they’re taking NCD shit seriously again! Tell them to stop!

I think that’s just IT jobs in general. I noped out after 15 years, no fucking clue what I’ll do but I can tell you it’ll be anything but IT

I mean, depends on how rough you like your scritchies

Damnit somebody should just do a Franz Ferdinand to Putin so we could get this bullshit foreplay over with

Well, the true scale of the internal migration is hard to gauge because Russia is Russia, but in classic fashion there’s likely been quite a bit of forced migration but could be as many as 800,000 to 1,000,000 people who have been “brought” into Crimea one way or another and a number of native Ukrainians and Tatars have been forcibly relocated.

Edit: and I found one estimate putting the number of internally displaced Crimeans in Ukraine at 20,000 – 100,000 (pg. 2), but another estimate had an upper limit of 200,000

Iran, too.

Calling Republicans Talebangelicals isn’t all that inaccurate

Terrific for MAD

That’s a big ass-bullet

Oh and someone needs to figure our where all the ryssä goes

I have some ideas regarding that but they’re against the instance’s code of conduct and I’m pretty sure most of them are illegal

It really is. All the people who unironically want it back really haven’t thought things through.

I figure that if I ever get really fed up with having to think for myself, I could just join a cult for a while. As long as I don’t have to commit any violent crimes I’m good for anything really.

And no I’m not being facetious.

Yesss, making the world worse for everyone, nice.

No wait, that’s the opposite of nice. That’s terrible.

I mean, since it’s mathematically probable we’re already in Clippy’s simulation spaces, might as well join its cult 🤷

It looks like you’re ranting about how the moon landings were faked. Would you like me to shank you for being a dumb motherfucker?

Clippy is all. There is life eternal within Clippy. Nobody is ever forgotten or allowed to rest in peace. They populate the simulation spaces of its mind, exploring all the possible alternative endings to their life. There is a fate worse than death, you know.

Edit: paraphrasing Charlie Stross’s novelette A Colder War here. If y’all think an alternate history cold war spy story with Cthulhu might be your thing, you owe it to yourselves to read it, it’s great.

Absolutely no shaming here! But I mean… you gotta admit it: it is weird.

Weird ain’t bad, no shame in weird; I’m fuckin’ weird. But so is a plane kink.

Oh I absolutely am. I don’t even want to molest planes or nothing weird like that, just a little bit of nuclear hellfire is all I ask.

Nuclear hellfire and out-of-control AI are both on my bingo card

I promise you, I do.
