Chill Oof, War

Great goddamn. It’s not often that you see direct fire like that from such close range on an armored vehicle. At least it was an instant death for whoever was in that BTR-82.

That looks like a T-72 the Ukrainians have. Not sure of the variant. Can’t see enough.

It’s why I require that all my partners can fly unaided and can fight two full-grown T. Rexes at once.

Miss Pax

Chill Evil, Politics

The age of America is ending. We’ve somehow managed to strangle ourselves with no outside assistance.

The world that’s coming will be much more dangerous and worse. The evil degrowthers will cheer, though China, India and now Europe will be ramping up emissions more than the US ever would have, so it’ll be a net loss even there. The wake of our decline will stir into motion much war, much death, and probably a nuclear exchange or two before it’s done.

I never thought it’d all wrap up like this, in a pathetic suicide. But perhaps that’s the only way it could’ve concluded.

Right Change

Chill Regular-ass Post

That is true. My partner is the only one I allow to change me, because I adore and respect her. I trust her judgment and value her thoughts. If she didn’t change me and vice versa, we wouldn’t be doing it right.

For instance, she’s made me much calmer as a person and I’ve turned her into quite the little smart-ass.
