Murica!

Or the Brexiteers convinced that the sunlit uplands are just around the corner of the “short term pain” of abandoning the UK’s closest and largest trade partner.

Fucking morons, happily led around by their prejudices.

Day 1,529 of the 3 day Special Military Operation.

Fucking LOL.

Maybe?

Worth risking life as we know it just to find out, for shiggles?

The truth is, there will be somewhere that they outcompete native fauna for resources but can’t be stopped by what controls the natives, and whoops, there goes the ecosystem.

Yo, what the fuck?

We bear no responsibility for your current crop of shitheels. You collectively put them in power, they’re your problem. We have enough self-fellating fuckwits of our own to be going on with, thanks very much.

In the case of SUVs, it’s not primarily the oil lobby, it’s car manufacturers. Put simply, they get to charge way more than the extra materials costs, for a “premium” vehicle. They’re making bank out of this shit.

If that were true, we wouldn’t be where we are today.

I can predict the start of a fuel shortage in a few weeks when the last deliveries get to refineries and refineries crater their output to try and avoid running dry. (Shutting down a refinery safely is not exactly a simple process, nor is restarting one from cold.) Fuel prices skyrocket, shortages start, fuel rationing is introduced, it only gets worse from there.

All the knock on effects from oil (and it’s industrially very important byproducts) going stupid… Well, that may trigger a global recession that makes everything before it look like merely a warmup.

lol

lmao, even.

I’m not even going to explain myself, I think the majority understand already.

There are not “plenty”. I will concede that there are, in theory, a few.

Those that join the police force with such positive things in heart and mind either get ground down and quit, a burned out cynical husk of a person, or get corrupted.

Very few have the diplomatic skills as well as the temerity to be able to stick it out. Those very few that can and do are working within a system that is at best so obsessed with measurable statistics there is no leeway for officer discretion, and at worst actively designed to incarcerate as many as possible.

Which version of the system you get exposed to is mostly a matter of one’s skin colour and apparent wealth, which strongly suggests the number of “good ones” is so vanishingly small as to be statistically insignificant.

Then your learning is teaching you bullshit designed to isolate you and push you yet further into the toxic masculinity circlefuck.

It’s true that no-one likes a misogynistic, self-entitled prick though. If you were actually suggesting that you’re upset that that shit is largely seen for the pathetic attempt to hide one’s inadequacies and insecurities that it is, you won’t find as much sympathy for that as you hoped.

Firstly, congratulations on coming to that awful realisation. It’s a shit place to be, and I genuinely empathise.

Secondly though, now? None of the atrocities before this point made you stop and think “Maybe we’re the baddies?”. For the sake of clarity, go and have a dig around and re-examine every single conflict the US has been involved in since the second world war.

Even just the stuff accessible to every online numpty should make you wince, now your blinkers have fallen off. Consider though, how bad the shit you don’t know must be, if the stuff you do is as bad as it is.

From a purely analytical viewpoint, the danger in cutting a vast swathe through the US military industrial complex at this stage is twofold.

On the one hand, half of the US economy is tied up directly or indirectly in the supply of goods to maintain the US military, and cutting a significant portion of that will go down badly in myriad ways.

On the other hand, the US has made a lot of enemies of late, as well as souring the relationships with it’s allies by generally being an international cunt in all the ways we can all describe in detail. What I’m getting at here is that the US may well need the majority of those armed forces to maintain the status quo, as any perceived weakness will be exploited in the new world order Trump has ushered in, and US allies will quite rightly find an excuse to look the other way if at all possible.

Doesn’t matter how you slice the cake, Trump has set the US up for failure on a grand scale, and the global readjustment will be very unpleasant for most, for quite a while.

The response from everyone else should be, “Why would we join a war that’s already been won?”

Give him his own bloviating bullshit back, served up nice and cold.

I like you.

I’m as much a nerd as the next, but I also play a lot of different games, with a lot of different people on different platforms, and that’s not feasible (yet) on anything other than windows.

I hate it, but it is what it is.

Lawyers, mostly.
