Oh, as destabilizing as invading, unprovoked, a neighboring nation and killing thousands of its people? Destabilizing like that? That is cringeworthy to read.
Also, it looks like France is going to send some troops to Ukraine. Good. Let the Ian Welsh fucking idiots cry about it.
I Have Been Scammed Out of Over $31,000 by a Product Optimization Company Called Ground Truth.
It is true that there are complete dumbasses of all ages. Jesus fucking Christ, I don’t feel bad for this clown. I just wish he(?) had sent all his money to me instead.
Men of Reddit, what is a dating piece of advice you’d give women?
Most of the top comments are the same thing I was going to say: Women are so absurdly, extremely, ridiculously passive in dating and then wonder why they get bad results. It’s because only the most brash, “confident” (really, don’t care what women think or feel, sociopathic-leaning) guys are going to be the ones interacting with you. And no one else because you’ve told good men not to flirt, interact, bother women, and to always take “no” as “no.”
So, women, this is an equilibrium you’ve created. And you can change it! You actually 95% control the dating market so in fact, only you can change it.
Just like anywhere else if you want better results, you have to fucking do something. But I know you won’t.
We have. Gen Z and younger millennials view any form of in-person flirting as completely taboo and verboten. It’s such an oddball thing. They are so afraid of the world. Just terrified. Smartphones and social media are largely responsible. Haidt-haters can put that in their fucking useless Excel spreadsheets and smoke it.
When you view the world through the lens of an algorithm or an Excel spreadsheet, you understand little.
We should be spending 2-3x more on defense than we do now; the world is getting more dangerous and we can’t just go isolationist. It’s not realistic and it wouldn’t work. The world is just not that way anymore. The need to heavily ramp up defense is becoming urgent and hardly anyone sees it.
But they will. The hard way, as usual.

Those 155s are brutal. I agree that it’s probably a Panzerhaubitze 2000 putting rounds down-range as those three rounds landing like that are characteristic of the PzH.
