Well… If you found your way here, it might mean I said something that triggers you enough to check me out.

No problem. Feel free to disagree with whatever it was, just know that I usually make an effort to not engage with anything I may perceive as a provocative or that won’t lead anywhere, or reply to things I don’t believe merit discussion.

If for any other reason, be welcome and cheers.

  • Kudos to you. I don’t drink, but I may do my own version of this, and more people should too.

    To these so-called “great leaders” who want to leave their idea of a great legacy even if they have to set the world on fire for their ego, few things are more powerful than that ever-present thought that can never go away from the back of their minds:

    • “Somewhere there’s these many ‘insignificant’ people just patiently waiting to pop the cork when I bite the dust, and I’ll be dead and they’ll be celebrating it.”

    Try as they may to ignore it, their ego will never let it go. And that’s good. Let them know in their core that their legacy won’t be what they want it to be.

    Well… If the wife doesn’t wake up it might be better to just let her get her much needed rest, as well as enjoy some peace and quiet at long last. Plus the ambulance/coroner visit might not be cheaper than a shovel from home depot.

    Don’t worry if she starts smelling bad after a few days, it’s natural.

    As for the cat, figures. With all the chaos they might as well take advantage of the situation and enact their plan to take over mankind as the dominant species.



  • Closeted men of war preaching about peace. Closeted gays fighting against gay rights. Judgemental/greedy/racist religious people putting themselves on a pedestal about how you should “take care of thy neighbor”.

    It’s always the ones who preach the most, the same ones doing the exact opposite of what they preach. Always the ones bitching about the bad in the world actively hard at work making the world a shittier place.

    Seriously, if Trump says the sky is blue I’ll immediately look up just to check if it hasn’t turned red/green/pink/whatever.

    Be always wary of the ones telling you how to live, and watch out for their actions closely. There’s no hate like the ‘love’ of these hypocrites.


  • That’s how you know he’s scared shitless. Also, his overcompensating tweets tend to be a great indicator of how small he feels. The bigger the wall of text, the more filled with lies/CAPS LOCK/insult/etc. - the more out of his depth he is, like a cornered animal screeching.

    Plus, military seems to be quietly saying the loud part, as one could interpret the small signs of the parade. So if he can’t count on them he can’t rely on any dictator’s biggest enforcing arm, the same arm that can crush ICE and all the co-fascists if it ever comes to that.

    I really hope they don’t get away with it in the end. Simply being removed from office without heavy consequences for all of them just sends the message that the next sleazebag can start to slowly carve a path on the shadows and attempt success where these grifters failed.








  • Well duh. What he means is:

    • Greenland yes, as it’s a largely undefended territory except for american forces already there. And let’s face it, it’s still uncertain what Europe and most of NATO would do in response, apart from strong-worded letters of condemnation. Which has precisely 0 effect on a sociopath like Trump.
    • As for Canada not yet, because it can defend itself. Maybe after a bit of slow Russia-style political destabilization in order to weaken it, then they attack.

    The art of the coward. Nothing short of a swift kick to the 'nads will stop a savage and animalistic neanderthal. They can’t be reasoned with, and while it’s a sad reality, it’s still a reality.


  • If things keep going on the current path, eventually it’s likely to happen, even if I really don’t like that idea and want to be wrong. The best hope at the moment is in the US dealing with its situation internally and regaining at least some sense of normalcy before it gets to a point of true non-return and external retaliaton. With some indirect push by other nations like tariff retaliation and cutting strategic benefits to the US, just enough for the people to wake up and fight the oligarchs, but not so much shock that it triggers an actual war.

    And I’m not joking. Trump literally said he rules America, as well as the world. He has stated that he won’t stand for Canada and Europe partnering up to compensate for the lack of the US partnership, and he’s won’t let go of his wet dreams of annexation for several territories. He wants to be remembered as a “great man” in the history books, and not just another footnote billionaire. That kind of ambition is dangerous. Hitler-level dangerous.

    For someone like him any excuse is valid. And just like he didn’t take his 2020 election loss lying down, calling it rigged and urging an insurrection, he sure as hell won’t leave the White House without sweat and blood being spilled, now that he’s got his hooves on it again. We are dealing with savages who think themselves superior, and won’t stop willingly.


  • I was under the impression he was an expert on due process. Like, no one knew due process as well as him. I could swear many people also praised him for it, and that no one had more due processes than Trump.

    Heck, the guy knows more about poping than the Pope, so much he’d make the greatest Pope in history.

    I’m really starting to think this Trump guy might not be that flawless a human like he claims all the time. 🧐


  • If we’re speaking minimum I’d say the person is at least an “advanced user”, possibly implying they’re naturally gifted for it as well and can develop and evolve that specific talent at a faster rate than the average person would.

    As for the latter question, I’d focus less on what I think about myself and more on feedback from others. If they say you’re “good”, even if you don’t define yourself as such, chances are that you are good. If you weren’t they’d be much quicker to judge and criticize you.

    People are different, and have different tastes and predispositions. No one is “good” at everything, and everyone has some kind of hidden talent, no matter how useless it may seem in some contexts. And some stuff even if you’re not naturally talented (I.e. basic living skills such as cooking, basic DIY fixing or cleaning) you should always strive to learn enough to at least be an independent person.

    That’s basically how I feel, and as someone who once tended to undersell himself while most people praised my skills a lot and came to me for help regularly on tech-related stuff. Some even get hateful over how fast-learning and adaptable I can be at stuff I like to do, since it tends to be rewarding and fast-tracks me to a better life standard.

    Still, humbleness is always a good trait, and often appreciated. At the very least better than being overconfident and making a fool out of oneself by attempting to swallow more than one can chew.




  • Don’t do it. Seriously. They’ll take the minerals and after a few years when Russia attacks again they’ll go “peace out bro, it was good while it lasted, not really our problem since we have this big and beautiful ocean separating us, thoughts and prayers” and abandon the place.

    Better do it through Europe (harder but better in the long run) and collectively secure a more lasting and strong peace by way of actual deterrence and sharing of common interests. Europe won’t ever say “we don’t need to help you since we don’t need to”.

    Ukraine’s security is Europe’s security, and it understands that.
