@houseoftolstoy @sardonicsmile Pretty much. I watched the state legislatures just let it happen too. I saw first hand and it'll be interesting to see what the betting odds do lol
@UncleIroh That's what I was thinking as well. It's not imminent towards conflict and China is extending regional power. it'll be a nothing burger bc Taiwan is likely not suicidal. Perhaps they work out a deal where their leaders get on a plane and leave at a specific date. The US is the wild card.

This looks like a nothingburger to me. But you guys have any more information on this at all?
@sardonicsmile Doesn't really matter. Everywhere with a blue Gov is going to go blue and has gone more so. https://www.270towin.com/maps/ZWQDQ
@southpole21 Thank you, I will have to check it out. I appreciate it.
@southpole21 @basedbagel What is it? Also do you guys have any tips for a guy whose brain can't shut off? My mind always runs at 100 miles an hour and when it stops it's a bit random. Nothing outright distracts me from this and I have had to take time off work to handle myself.
@southpole21 @basedbagel Yeah, that makes sense. Nothing worth doing is easy outright. I'll work on myself more. I am just a very dedicated partner. I neglected myself a bit, but I wouldn't say awfully. Not enough to lead where it went. Just the last year has fucked my ass.
@basedbagel It's been a struggle since post lockdowns I've lifted my entire life away to try and accomplish a lot. I could only shoulder so much. When it's all fallen now I'm alone and while I am my own bedrock I just have little social outlets. I'm quiet, but very social to those I care about. When that drops out I have a very hard time replacing it.
@basedbagel Yeah, I'm still on day one. The biggest thing is going to be missing saying good morning and goodnight to someone I genuinely did love for the last 5 years. The little routines man. That's just the big part of the void for me. The person and our little things.
I am contacting people though as best I can. Cut work off a bit. I need to sort myself out.
@basedbagel I'm trying man. It's never easy. All I can say is I came out feeling neglected and sad. It is just up after the bottom. It will just be getting used to the loneliness.
@basedbagel Yeah, it's just extremely painful still.
I know this not the best place for it. But my last decent relationship has come to a close. It was a bad terms mutual sort of thing. I was not perfect, neither was she. It still hurts man. I feel a bit lost. Any advice, or chatting would be appreciated. Normally I am resilient, but the people I do care about still hurt to lose.
@RodrickSage Thankfully I always play a Lawful Good Warrior esc character and love good maxing.
@Tfmonkey I think they look at men and think theybwould care about the loss ofndual income when I think they forget that pussy would make the vast majority of those men welcome it in turn even if there was a 'cut' in pay.
@Tfmonkey So for arguements sake. Listening to Saturdays show a bit and to counter some people dissing on the east a bit when it comes to twra. I don't think they do it all at once for one simple reason. Too many women are embedded in the workforce. Now I don't think it'd be anywhere nesr doomsday economic impact. But doing it all at once leaves a window of minor vulnerability and governments being the numbers people they are would not want to see tons of 'productive' jobs lost overnight.
@basedbagel To be fair the woman had no way of fully seeing or hearing well the beauties brought by capitalosm andnwould have likely had commies kn her ear. I am neutral and benign to her only because the best ways to tell communism and true meritocratic capitalist systems are the things they build. When you can't see or hear them. You can't appreciate them. Helen Keller gets a B Tier ranking from me.
@basedbagel If I could move in 2023:
1.) Belarus. Diet Russia that has taken in some WASP esc american citizens wanting out if I remember correctly.
2.) Norway. Would be a likely easier job move for me. They're an energy necessity to the Euros and do have splits in policy with them.
3.) India. Major BRICS Nation, another easier job move. English speaking in the area I'd move to. Just shitty streets.
4.) Vietnam/Singapore. Also job locales, but would have a massive cultural/language shift.
@basedbagel My only issue with south america is that it is too lawless. Trust me I don't like government a ton, but I do think I would prefer a major BRICS economy at least. Where the trade off is some more guaranteed rule of law. In the way that's not gang/mafia esq
