  • They're scared. Of course they are.

    Whether they hated Maduro or not, they've been forced into limbo

    What happens next? No one fucking knows, no one has a plan, because Trump might come back for round 2 and decapitate the chain of succession or make an ultimatum

    It must be terrifying. For all my brother's and sister's in Venezuela, stay strong, stay safe, and be ready to take advantage of opportunities

  • Well they didn't establish a new government there... That would take competence

    Trump just stole the leader and his wife and declared the oil is "ours now". No one knows what the fuck they means, but their VP took over control for now

  • I mean, hopefully to bring perspective, the water wars are happening now. People are fighting corporations who are draining the aquifers for alphalpha and such to send abroad, there are faucets running dry and everything

    It's not going to be mad Max... These problems still exist and are on track, but they way they present themselves is as a slow burning down of the infrastructure that our country is built upon

    The people will remain. There will be hard times, we will have to come together to solve problems. We might have to relocate as areas become untenable

    There will be unrest and disorder, but not mass murder. We just don't have it in us without years of indoctrination and drug use

  • You forgot about his many failures along the way. Do you know how many kids slipped through his tiny fingers?

  • And anything the officer has previously reported should be put under review

  • Because the US military might actually be strong enough to take on the rest of the world and win

    They probably had army rangers HALO nearby, instantly killed anyone in their way, then had a crazy amount of fire support/distraction as they exfiltrated the area

    Or who knows, they have so many toys and experienced operatives it could've gone down many ways. They could have just killed their way up mainstreet... Who would be prepared to stop them?

  • Then stop spewing slop everywhere, AI or not

  • Try moving your vision, not your eye, to the bottom when it's dark. You can learn to see in the dark pretty easily, and with practice you can focus and split your attention within your field of vision

  • And basically every election has flipped 20 points across the board. The time for progressives has arrived, I just hope we have the energy to carry us through it

  • It's really not. It's the amount of time and frequency, and also how much you're treating them like a person

    And does no one else know how to look out the corner of your eye?

  • Exactly. We still have to have a society, we just need to be considerate about it

  • I tell myself that the grief is me feeling bad for myself.

    How did they go? Was it mercifully fast or drawn out? Was it painful? Were they ready?

    And so I try to channel my grief though empathy for their pain rather then focusing on my own feelings of mood

  • I'm trying to move to a better area, one where things can get better locally

    Even if the country ends, we're not all going to die. We're going to have to organize locally, and I'd rather be somewhere where I can do that

  • There actually might be enough water to help if we warm it up. And that would also release some hidden gasses too

    It'll still probably need more, and there's sands that make it hard for plants to grow, but it seems like there's feedback mechanisms that would help massively

  • They're not religious, they're rich demons who love to find fresh ways to destroy the country

  • Well put

  • Don't treat them all the same! What? That's so ineffective!

    Are they morally on the hook for what they've helped bring into existence? Yes.

    Should we treat them all the same? Fuck no, that's crazy. You have adjust your approach. An actual fascist and an idiot who got taken for a fascist ride are worlds apart.

    Fascists should be attacked when they reveal themselves, they're just disgusting all the way through. Idiots can be convinced to be part of the solution, you just have to correct their behavior

  • I believe that orcas are out there having philosophical debates and singing stories of their history and mythology that dates back even further than our own. I don't think they're doing math proofs, but if they are I'd be curious what base they use

    All the cutting edge science suggests we're not special. We are not different in kind from animals

    Since science became a thing, we've been drawing lines between us and animals since we could no longer gesture to the soul. We've progressively disproven every single one. I've had this debate over various lines so many times

    It's human arrogance

  • Someone I know at FEMA was talking about they have an old system for disaster claims that IBM wrote for them many years back, and how FEMA just signed a deal with sales force to replace it

    I was like... Oh, buddy, you have a very custom fit solution and very complicated workflows...
