Same. I’m stuck in an area where locals view me as an outsider, and loneliness is an ever-present threat. Scrolling is just one of the many ways I keep myself feeling human and connected to the larger world.

It’s looking more and more like China will be filling a certain obvious power void in the near future. I wish our era would get less interesting already 😕

The “the” of it was actually a product of Russia laying claim to Ukraine. The idea was that it implies Ukraine is just one region within a larger body iirc.

I appreciate you saying so, but I’ve been doing relatively fine over here. Unless faced with a life of literal torture, I have no intention of leaving this world any time soon!

It kind of blows my mind that suicide seemed so outlandish to you back then tbh. It’s always seemed like a reasonable and, in some unfortunate cases, necessary final escape plan to me. But maybe that’s a product of having not-so-great parents, depression, and growing up in sometimes middling/sometimes severe poverty?

Do I have to go to catholic hell if I laughed at this?

I hate you fr fr

Edit: and your parents are disappointed

Ugh. Any recs on good and ffre vpns?

This is such a fun and clever way to strengthen inter-generational community. I would love to see something like this where I live!

As an ungrateful little urchin, I would have been pissed ngl. As an adult tho, I can see that this is so freaking sweet and cool.

Given his deep interest in sparking a race war and his prolific lying/endless nonsense jabbering, I’m gonna guess that’s something he has said, but that wouldn’t necessarily make it true. He has said a lot of things, many of which are just as garbage as everything else we know to be in his heart.

Buy, hey! Every cloud has its silver lining! He might be a racist, cult leading, serial killer by proxy, but did you know that he was also almost a Beach Boy? They even recorded some of his songs and I am100% not joking. Rely meks u thenk 🤔

Edit: it only occurred to me you may have been talking about Brand after commenting. And I-oops!

I am so dumb x.x

Who is Alice?

I was not aware of this projected timeline, so thank you for sharing. Still, Canada and Greenland each have a lush of natural resources, and the promise of more down the line (even if it is a good ways down that line), making them desirable assets for people who seek and wish to maintain power.

I could be mistaken, but I’m pretty sure it’s because, in spite of publicly denying its existence, they are very aware that climate change will make once difficult to tame lands very highly valuable in the near future. A good deal of all that ice and snow to the north will become much less of an issue within many of our lifetimes.

Not particularly relevant, but as a Magic the Gathering player, I really wish I had legal precedent to force her to change her initials. This lady is such utter trash and I hate that, not just my country is associated with her, but also one of my favorite hobbies. Ugh!
