The first generation of controllers clicks. Or at least it simulates clicking so much I don't realise it isn't, but I'm pretty sure it does

Get Rimworld, and write a letter to your friends and family that you wouldn't see them in a while. Consider spending the rest of the money on IV stand so you stay hydrated.

Rimworld is a drug, it should be classified as a controlled substance.

Oh wow, never knew that. This is some proper bullshit

>significantly reduced quality

Is it that significant?

Obviously nothing is perfect. But there are levels of not perfect.

As American example shows us in real time, it's not something you just "figure out" once. Democracy requires society to always win in eternal struggle against human nature.

You voted for something much worse. You can try to explain it however you want, the facts are, you collectively over the years made it so your choices are meh and sometimes much much worse, and then voted for the latter.

You of course can blame whoever you want, deep state, establishment, democratic party (never republicans though, for some reason), but that would be the deflection. Up until recently, US had a shitty but semi-functioning democracy, and whatever is happening is a result of your collective chosing.

The story isn't about the attack, it's about how Trump thinks he's entitled to all the information.

It's not either-or. Money that aren't spend on nuclear will be mostly spent on burning fossil fuels, because that's the niche they occupy together.

In 2018, while serving his 4th presidential term, Putin publicly declared that he wasn't going to run for the 3rd term (he forgot to count the first two, stuff like that happens, you know). He is now serving his 5th term.

The link to the raw data is dead, and it contradicts some other research, and also is an article on something that is called"green car reports". Those are indications of maybe not the most unbiased data

In 1935. By 1940 everyone who was able to say that was already not in a position to say anything. US is just at the beginning of the journey.

Not allowing countries that Putin wanted to annex to join an alliance that was made to prevent Putin from annexing countries, is exactly what shouldn't be done if you want to prevent Putin from annexing countries.

Ah, proper American values on display. Total obedience to the power, never raising a voice about anything, always staying in line, never having opinion different from what the Glorious Leader says.

And I'm actually not joking, based on the actions, it is as closest you can have to the proper American values.

The number for a tariff is a trading deficit divided by total export of a country. It's simplistically stupid.


he lost under 1% of his population to the war

This is not entirely accurate figure. The 1% is only the number of people confirmed dead by the independent sources like Mediazona. The number of people who are "missing in action" but just can't be confirmed dead is staggeringly more than that. Also don't forget that that's mostly people of productive age and demographic, which skews the metrics a little. Also add to it all the people who left the country, which are also of the most productive demographics.

That being said, Russia is big, and meat attacks could indeed go on for years. It will be devastating for Russia, but not for Putin.

>there’s probably worse than him coming next

That's the scary scenario, but there is also a bunch of boring technocrats that might be put in place by the oligarchy, which sounds great in comparison.

That's true, if you listen to Russian media exclusively.

That's because you're not thinking like Putin. Starting this war in the first place was the worst possible idea that never made any sense, except it allowed Putin to reform the slipping grip on the country and cemented his regime and his vision for at least some time. But just like the empires of old, now his regime requires constant slow boiling war to operate.

He will happily sacrifice every Russian to this, he can easily afford losing a thousand men per day to the grinder. It costs very little to him. European countries on the other hand will be very very hurt by the war on their territory, and everyone understands it.

They will not win, doesn't mean they can't deal untold damage trying

If you know anything about current Russian government, you'd know that one necessarily follows the other. The more desperate Russia gets, the less reserves they have, the more bold and aggressive they're getting. There is a combination of factors leading into it, both psychological and material.
