“Go back to where you were born, go back to nothing, homunculus”

We have thus far gotten so lucky with this bird flu if an efficient cross species variant had emerged so many people would be dead as fuck

That is just frighteningly upsetting

If only Marcellus Wallace was real

Well I read that in George’s voice

Naw man, we’re pretty fucking far from ok

Still got Atlanta at least? (Moved to Washington from GA a few years back)

Ukraine is the primary case study in my opinion, they gave up their nukes and got fucked for doing so

The number one geopolitical strategic lesson of the past 10 years is “Get nukes and never ever ever give them up”

Any kind of training even in office jobs has been non-existent for my whole career. Whenever I’ve started a new job I’m always just thrown in the deep end by a manager that doesn’t know how to do the job they are managing

On our way to the Second American Civil War being center stage for WW3

I’m torn on this, I agree with your point and think it’s important to not do what the fascists want, provide an excuse to escalate violence further, but also they have been escalating all on their own and folks attending should be prepared for that escalation. Everyone has got to make their own decisions, I’ll be there with bells on but shit could get really dicey so I cant blame anyone that wants to keep their kids at home.

I get the feeling that Saturday is gonna be fucking wild

Long running military in joke is that Marines are crayon eaters
