The one con I sent to smelled fine even in the gaming room, interestingly enough

I’m so bad at flirting over text. I can do it irl somewhat once the first bit of convo gets jumpstarted but mannn dating apps kill me. I get far more people down to hang in person than ever from a dating app.

Ok but like. Dating and flirting talk is different from normal talk. More giggly, more vibes. Some people can’t do that for shit

You’re not full adding one thing nor do you have a specific plan in mind.

You take things step by step. You don’t fix everything at once, but beginning and continuing a variety of initiatives against a variety of threats more easily allows you to scale up those efforts as threats grow closer. It’s a lot easier to do something if you cut it up. And early starting allows easier starts.

You think that just because something is further in the future that it should be disregarded, but in reality small, fairly low effort approaches started sooner will former a much stronger base in facing threats as opposed to pretending only the closest is a real one.

And this is just plain doomest, as well as wrong, for now.

When we are all dead from the rock, the ship isn’t gonna matter - dodge the rock first, then worry about the ship

A short sighted attitude to a ridiculous degree. You and your “I can only think of one issue at a time” attitude is precisely the kind of problem that politics always has.

So you are willing to run into another ship just because there’s a rock in front of you. Your example is apt, you still have to and need to worry about all of them to successfully make it out, and cannot just worry about 1.

The issue is no less important because it is supposedly further out, because we need to get started asap to avoid the most damage

Thinking that pessimistically removes any chance of actually making the world better.

Microplastics and environmental threats are just as big of a deal as ww3.

Yeah, like pretending genociding Ukrainianes is because of nato

aggression with an expansionist agenda.

especially by a country and especially unprovoked.

Economically or militarily.

D-day wouldn’t be included because the goal wasn’t expansion. Though I would be very surprised if the usa and Europe hadn’t perpetrated many acts that should be included during the full course of the war.

And of course you can get into the argument of cultural imperialism as well

The Marxist definition is strictly different, not a clarification. The Marxist one posits only capitalism can be imperialist, something I would say is strictly incorrect

Marxist does not get to exclusively define what imperialism is. A more standard definition is far more reasonable to use. However, your comment is very informative to me, I’m glad you took the time to write this out

Nato is not a risk to russia, and never has been. Nato is a defensive alliance. The only way they’re a risk is if russia plans to attack them first. Anyone suggesting that nato provoked it is on something

Invading for territory gain is absolutely synonymous with imperialistic tendencies

Russia isn’t imperialist

Why do you think they’re invading Ukraine. Sparkles and rainbows?
