I've seen this first hand a good few times - believe me or not because I don't want to be too specific about my experience. You've got to be super desperate to pour out a 40 count of bottled water for $2-4, but people with nothing else but SNAP/EBT/etc funds will do it.

It's sad and wasteful, but it's also such a marginal thing compared to the Sacklers making the opium wars look like a prank that I don't see how it can even brought up in the same conversation - except as deflection.

I'm sorry but this is definitely shit you only say when you're very far from the action. Would you want your grandpa drafted and sent into a minefield to "dissuade the aggressor"? Grandma and the children too apparently, better dead than governed by another neighboring authoritarian shithole?

I think I'd rather just flee with my family to a country right next door that has a nuclear deterrent and NATO membership. Literally why would "they need to all fight to the death instead" be your first thought? I can't imagine it coming from a position where you think Ukrainians are as human as you are.

I have to imagine direct intervention would've happened already if it was going to. Why let the Ukrainians get shoved into a meat grinder first? If you're America: it's good business and sells more guns. If you're actually reliant on the buffer zone then it's really not a game, as you say.

If you want a picture, imagine a spicy op-ed stamping on a trotskyist newspaper forever

This is good bait but I almost totally believe it, the kind of person who spends a decade being told they're a very smart math boy at a top university is extremely susceptible to believing every whim of theirs is genuinely brilliant

GitHub has been handing out a lot of free Azure time to open source projects, maybe they thought keeping "Open" in the name would work for longer?

Is this IBMification or whatever tech bros are calling late capitalism now

That's because they've been brainwashed by a consistently rising standard of living, they don't have free press like us to tell them how they should really feel about things

This is a non-partisan space and I think we can respectfully disagree with each other, but I'd just like to say I'll be writing down anyone who disagrees with this take as a corn-poppist reactionary

Edit: oh shit I just realized I left hexbear and this is now a partisan space?? based

Having clothing, appliances or anything else not constructed out of tissue paper particle board is a luxury. You will sleep on the broken Ikea bed. You will buy new pants every single month because they last three washes.
