@deprecated_ii Looks like vegan lies being peddled. Not much more to it than that.

I do not want to see WWIII, but I will not suffer great shock or despair if/when the US military forces finds themselves losing to the militaries of Russia and China. It turns out that you cannot contend well with a grandmaster when you are so used to beating your 5 year old nephew at chess. The US is in this exact state, where we do not realize just how out of practice we are at fighting someone who can properly fight back.

Speaking of the libtards, they show just how quickly they abandon supposed principles in line with the narrative. They were those that previously were the biggest opponents of the US military industrial complex, but now whether they are aware of it or not, are the most ardent supporters of that institution. All it took was for the propaganda factories to talk about how "important" the Ukrainian "democracy" was and now they are all about the US being militarily supreme.

For all pain that can come from seeing the ugly truth of reality, there is one positive benefit that comes from it. You will have already priced in a lot of bad events that may come, and will be less likely to be shocked as a result.

For those like me who are living in the US, we may find our standard of living go down with our and other governments going full retard on the world stage. But we will not be caught off guard nearly as much as the libtards who think the US is still on top.

@mutageno Have you ever seen Louis Rossman videos? He talks about all of this sort of thing in great detail.

@Ottovonshitpost @WashedOutGundamPilot Women hate other women. So therefore, this tranny should feel validated because she got an authentic experience of being a woman. If an actual woman other than the friend in the story won the scholarships, she would find a reason to hate the winner too.

Not that this makes the tranny a woman.

@sj_zero You speak truth here. For the same reason, the same people misunderstand doing controlled burns. They think that no fires should happen whatsoever, so controlled burns should not happen either. But it is not a matter of if the forest will burn, but when.

Absent of human populations, we could just let it happen when it does. But because we do not want people and their homes burned down, controlled burns are the necessary prescription. But moronic environmentalists get in the way.

@mutageno Recognizing that there is a problem is much easier than creating a solution. A proposed solution has a chance of not working as expected, when an existing problem already is known not to be working.

I think US healthcare is a great example of a problem, because you have people of many types all seeing that things do not work well, but they have proposed solutions that are antithetical to each other.

@sandwich Yep, precisely what I am thinking. If/when everyone who suspects Ukraine was behind destroying the dam gets vindicated by evidence later on, the media will just try and memory hole that as well. Same shit, different week.

'Member the missile that went into Poland? At first they said "Russia did it!" Turns out, it was Ukraine.

Down the memory hole!

I will let others contribute if they like to the list of things that went down the memory hole for Ukraine.

My sides.

Another thing I just thought of, the whole "who blew up the dam" question. Yes, it was probably Ukraine. But why?

To hurt the Russians? No, I have a different theory. It gives them an excuse to not go forward with the "Spring Offensive."

"We were totally going to go hard on those Russians this spring! But those assholes blew up the damn! Going under those conditions would be a disaster!"

Thus, they can cancel the plans that they knew would fail while not admitting they would just lose.

Doing my daily recon of libshitprop (NPR), and I heard the mention of the Spring offensive "might have already started." Silliest thing ever. There should not be any doubt if an offensive has started. If it is not obvious and the Ukrainian army is starting the operation in secret, then they have not started their offensive.

Just another example of "just trying to make it to Friday" propaganda. They do not want to admit that Ukraine's "offensive" will not amount to jack.

@Aether Just who is their target audience? Maybe the ultra rich might be able to drop that kind of cash without wincing, but most people still would not pay that much for something that is not only unnecessary but probably provides an undesirable experience.

Reminds me of the whole 3D movie craze. I just don't think the demand is really there.

@WashedOutGundamPilot As far as judging how attractive other men are when you are a normal man (i.e. heterosexual man), you cannot judge based your own attraction. How I measure that is how intimidated I would be if that same man was competing with me in trying to attract the same woman.

That is, this would be my metric if I was not off the market. But I understand hypotheticals because I have the mental capacity to not say "But I did have breakfast this morning! Why are you saying I didn't?"

@WashedOutGundamPilot Another great example is Julia Robert's. So many women upheld her as a stunning beauty, while I see her as very much average.
