Russia on Monday threatened to strike British military facilities and said it would hold drills simulating the use of battlefield nuclear weapons amid sharply rising tensions over comments by senior Western officials about possibly deeper involvement in the war in Ukraine....
They’re still following their WWII and czarist military doctrine of “we have more people and resources than you”. It’s a shame that Russian military leadership will forever be associated with this instead of having a second chance to demonstrate the actual might and strategy of Trotsky’s red army.
It sometimes seems like being in power in Russia destroys your ability to have sensible military strategy
Yeah if we’d done this in Vietnam it wouldn’t be great because Ho Chi Minh was the elected leader of Vietnam, but the Vietnam war wouldn’t’ve been the absolute shit show it was. Frankly most of our wars should’ve been this
The theory is simple: instead of buying a household item or a piece of clothing or some equipment you might use once or twice, you take it out and return it.
It’s the cracks in dystopia. Good things that would be awesome without dystopia but wouldn’t start without dystopia. Public libraries are a relic of the gilded age dystopia for example
Not the age to marry, the age I argued. My right to marriage was in question before I’m gay.
Unfortunately my state does not and at no point in my life has it considered prohibiting straight teenagers from getting married. In fact my girlfriend married a man in high school.
Yeah, it’s funny but in a gallows way. Like, of course these are the people putting my life at risk. It’s funny like Goebbels’s limp. Like you fuckers can’t even have the ideological purity to not be the sort of person you hate or to side with the people who don’t care and think it’s fine.
Yeah she’s similar to Loki, but Loki is more the worst person in your theater group. Loki fucked their way into their problems and by Asgard they’ll fuck their way out of them. At their core Loki is chaotic but borne from insecurity.
Eris is more “does this dress make my butt look fat?” She just thinks things could be different. Not necessarily better or worse, just different. Eris is chaos born from someone too smart for her own good but not as smart as she thinks and suffering from chronic understimulation.
It should be noted that my take is more of a modern reinterpretation. Other interpretations of her are as the goddess of conflict and as a counterpart to ares.
Regardless I do hope she’s in it. I’m already excited for hekate.
It’s hard and it hurts. Self improvement, especially when you’ve been publicly vocal, requires humbling yourself. It involves accepting shame. And it sounds like in her case it involves reprocessing some trauma. I know who I choose to be, but on a much lesser scale I’ve met plenty like her. Folks who make the choice not to reevaluate their beliefs
It’s case by case, the category of intersex sometimes called hermaphroditism (though many dislike the term) is usually accompanied with sterility though. It’s also very rare as far as intersex conditions go

No, she just never bothered to learn anything about other trans people, attempted to speak for all of us, managed to get the media on board about that for a few months, and has spent the following 8 years being criticized by us for her republicanism and refusal to understand the realities of being a trans person who isn’t stupid rich.
Tesla’s biggest move was that they were willing to actually compete with an EV. GM released one in the 90s and seriously go look into it. Everyone who bought it fucking loved the thing. But gm killed the project and destroyed the vehicles.
Tesla actually took sales away from ices. That forced them to actually sell evs
Yeah. And that doesn’t mean you can’t be a moderate. Multiple moderates sacrificed their careers for the haymarket martyrs. But you have to actually believe in something and that some things are unacceptable. Tactics are valuable but it’s a valuable tactic to get your opponents thinking so tactically they give up their goals
