No it won’t. Korea is already there.
Let me tell you what ACTUALLY starts a world war.
Russia wins in Ukraine, spends 8 years building up forces and getting even tighter w/ china, keep chipping away at NATO unity with useful idiots like Orban, and then they take a crack at the Baltics.
THAT’S how WWIII starts.
Right now the masks are all still on. What happens in Ukraine stays in Ukraine. This is the only time to put boots on the ground that DOESN’T start a world war.
If a 45 year old not wearing a costume and strung out on Ketamine says trick or treat at my door, they’re getting candy.
What am I, the fucking Halloween police? ACAB.
Oh, no, I’m absolutely not trying to engage as if this person is holding the objective truth because they aren’t. I’m not either. They just have had a different brainwashing than most so I’m interested in the flavour. I’m interested in hearing their views, fact checking them, and using that to reverse engineer the intiontions of those who are feeding them a moral rationalization.
No, I was just trying to drag out of you how you see the incident without priming the pump. How does one minimize the killing of hundreds of unarmed students? I knew people like you existed, I just never had the opportunity to witness someone actually do it, and I was curious how it’s done.
You roll 20 additional days into it as a buffer, and count injuries as equivalent to murders, and let them happen anywhere.
It can’t be the “Tiananmen Square Massacre” for you because then couldn’t draw in PLA members who had heart attacks and died elsewhere that day because they weren’t at the square. You need to create a context where they’re all the same thing and the geography of place really damages the ability to do that.
You just dilute a massacre to make it not a massacre by expanding the time and places. Super interesting. It’s a distinctly different approach to propegands than you’d typically see in the west or Russia.
What what is called?
Care to expand on the Tiananmen propaganda comment?
Juxtaposition of pearl-clutching Puritanism w/ a 21 drinking age against beer available in a 7-11.
Pick a fucking lane
No but I’m all-in on phrenology
CEOs wanna cosplay Steve Jobs and unvail their crazy new features. They’ve already “trimmed the fat” to appease shareholders.
They just can’t make fixing old issues sexy.

AMAZING read. Like, in a Tommy Wiseau kinda way.
It reads to me like someone trying to build a persona that Elon would like.
If you read the article it’s still -13%.
So, pretty brain-dead to interpret that as wanting him.
Maybe I’m too old to be a good judge of what good hair looks like. That hair, especially with the large chunks (instead of just frizz) of flyaways looks dirty to me. Maybe it’s an artifact of the photoshopping?
If people are into it, awesome.
If people aren’t, and he loves it, still awesome.
My gut reaction to seeing it is “dirty” (rightly or wrongly), and on a dating app where left swipes are based on gut decisions in a fraction of a second.
I don’t think there is anything wrong with the guy, and I think switching the format is good, because you can’t dismiss a billboard as quickly as a tinder profile.
If Dave thought that this picture of himself (clearly unshowered) was something to throw up on a billboard, I already know why he was struggling with dating apps.
I understand how much dating apps suck. But if you reject the reality that your pictures shouldn’t demonstrate a lack of basic hygiene, you’re not even really participating. It’s like insisting on going to bat with a pool noodle; I admire your dedication but nobody can consider it a genuine attempt.
There have always been susceptible idiots.
Nazi’s are just a byproduct of an eroding standard of living. When things are good and getting better, there just isn’t the fertile ground for that kind of ideology, even among the idiots.
When standard of living is on the decline? Anyone who gives a simple answer and a simple solution gets the attention of idiots.
They will say, while simultaneously ignoring every NIST recommendation
So you trick your stomach like you’d trick a dog by hiding medicine in their food?
Ukraine is losing ground. Unless something changes, they will eventually lose the war.
The things required to stop that will necessarily be escalatory.
The West needs to fucking swallow that pill instead of endlessly fretting about escalation. Do you think Putin is worried about escalation? He just brought North Korea into the war.
Ukraine will be a smouldering ruin and Russian troops will be amassed at the border of the NATO Baltics licking their chops and the big brain west will be saying “Thank goodness we were so responsible in the Former Ukraine”
