You are, huh? Where?

You didn’t answer my question.

I live about an hour from the Russian border. I know people on the other side. I can read Russian well enough to follow their news since we’re probably fairly high up on the list of targets if this goes really wrong. Not that that would end well for Russia, but they’re not exactly behaving rationally atm.

I know what it really looks like inside Russia. Can you claim the same, or do you just like to spread misinformation?

It’s an enormous country with an abundance of natural resources. It was always going to take a fair amount of time before they got desperate. Now they are, and it’s not going well, hence the endless missile and drone barrage.

They lost their momentum on the ground a while back, and now they’re reduced to holding what they can and hope they can break the Ukrainian morale with civilian casualties. There’s nothing new there. They’re using the same tactics they used in Chechnya all over again. The only difference is the weaponry used.

-20c is nothing. It’ll be a lot worse than that.

Like everything else in that list something that only exists in his fucked up headspace.

Fair enough, but having kept an eye on what Thiel does (and says), I do find him to be a pretty problematic person in general for many reasons.

On the other hand, I agree with you about Kallas and specifically her views on Russia, etc. It is a pretty conservative country in many ways, so that part also makes sense.

Maybe it’s because of her role in the EU now, but I still can’t see a lot of overlap between her and many of the others on that list, Thiel notwithstanding. He’s just weird and not in a good way.

I don’t see how it is cognitive dissonance. I’ve always found her rational and humane in the past, as opposed to almost everyone on that list.

I live in a neighbouring country, and we share a language, so her views are not exactly unknown to me. Her being anywhere close to Thiel & co makes little sense to me.

Do you care to explain further?

What the fuck does that make you, with opinions like that?

I have questions…

That’s… surprising. Not what I would’ve expected from her tbh.

How is it a skill issue? I’m not the one breaking it with patch after patch of utter insanity. It’s not like I’m running HE or some shit either.

It’s just bad, and it grates me that I have to use it on even one of my machines.

Now it’s pretty obvious that you’re either a true madman or trolling so hard you forgot you’re doing it in the first place.

Win 11 is objectively so much worse than literally any alternative, and I’m saying that while running it myself for …reasons.

My first thought as well.

Might not be selfless as such, and I’m not in any position to speak for women in general, but when that biological drive kicks in, it can do so pretty damn hard.

That’s still satisfying your own need, but perhaps more subconsciously so than people having children without thought or care.

Me and my wife agreed on not having children when we were young, but we’ve never regretted the son we got after a pretty radical twist in our mid 20’s. I could go on, but it’s complicated.

In today’s world, if I were young again, I’d never even give it serious thought, though. Different times, although it doesn’t feel that long ago.

No, really? Who would’ve thought.

Captain Woke couldn’t fight a war with a stoned flock of seagulls.

Neither can you.

Your confusion probably stems from the fact that you don’t know the first thing about the topic being discussed. The salute itself is called the Sieg Heil. That he, in fact, didn’t pronounce the words while clearly wanting to (and arguably, should have) is just a little sideshow from what he quite clearly did, more than once, albeit badly.

Being a proper little nazi bitch isn’t easy, though, and he ain’t no aryan wonderman. I don’t know how well his father taught him the basics either, I just know he was a bigoted slavedriver. Maybe Musk got nervous. You don’t want Hitler’s ghost raving at you about proper salutes, do you? How’s yours for that matter? Are you ready to fire off a crisp one if needed?

It’s not that you don’t have an actual left in the US. It’s that they’re either being categorically ignored and/or shunned into social obscurity by everyone else.

I’m saying he would’ve loved to throw out a few sieg heils while he was swinging that arm, but you seem really, really desperate to defend the piece of shit so it won’t get through to you anyway.

Have fun licking those boots, though.
