Congrats, America. You’ve become Nazi Germany.

“Gradually, then suddenly.”

I prefer my own private library. It costs, but I don’t have to put up with the smell of piss, bad breath, body odor and noise.

You’re absolutely free to say ‘normal’ instead of ‘atheist’, but you’ll probably get tired of explaining what you mean by ‘normal’ pretty quickly.

Bosch without Titus Welliver is like Picard without Patrick Stewart.

Our old lady just turned 20 as well. Hope your kitties have many more healthy years ahead of them.

As if it wasn’t de facto legal already. There’s a reason they’ve been bringing them to russia for decades. This is just theater.

“Not fair, you can’t fight back! 😭”

I read Meditations and other Stoic texts pretty regularly. They have guided many of my beliefs.

All of this will pass. You won’t necessarily be able to control any of the variables outside of your own life, but living a virtuous life isn’t about becoming the leader of a country or amassing gigantic wealth. It’s about doing the right thing, for yourself and others, when it’s time to make decisions. I take solace in that. I may not always make the perfectly right decision, but as long as I’m generally guided by what’s right, especially when it’s a difficult path to take, I will have lived a good life.

I rotate through a bunch of them. Currently Bosch. Before that was Star Trek: DS9.

I truly hope you’re right, but I just have to ask:

How many people have guns? How many have the ability to shoot with accuracy? How many of those guns are in a working state? How many people have hundreds of rounds of ammo? How many have the mindset to be willing to kill another human being? How many won’t freeze when threatened with lethal force or when actually under fire? How many have the opportunity to be there exactly when this shit happens?

These are all more or less rhetorical questions, as in I don’t need you to go look all of those statistics up and provide them to me. It’s just that many people make it out as if just having a gun means you have the ability, opportunity and intent to use it effectively. It’s just not that simple.

Again, I hope you’re right, and that the US wakes up and takes violent action against these motherfuckers. They’ve gotten away with killing far too many people.

And where does this cycle of hatred end?

Let’s see. Maybe we could start with the russians not invading other countries and brutalizing their people? Or is your point that it’s us on the receiving end who are supposed to magically not hate the invaders?

Trick you into what? Having a conversation?

I think you know perfectly well what women fear from men. That’s not to say it was necessarily the intention of this person to have anything nefarious happen.

Meanwhile women post videos asking “why can’t I find a date? Why won’t anyone say hi”.

Strawman. OP didn’t, and she’s the person we’re currently discussing.

Do you know the kind of generational trauma caused by rape, torture, dispossession and murder? Because that’s what I’ve inherited, and yes, as a result I don’t want anything to do with any russians.

Was it the kremlin who raped, tortured and murdered in Bucha, Irpin, Mariupol and other places in their current war? Or was it “normal” russians?

Good. Fuck the russians. My grandparents always said “ryssä on ryssä vaikka voissa paistais.” Which means “a russian is a russian even if you fry them in butter.” They never forgot what the soviets did to our country.

I believe you.

Yes, I have. The others in my party who saw it happen just laughed about it.
