WW3 is starting sooner than I thought
- I get you're just trying to be funny, but also the Armenia-Azerbaijan conflict goes back a very long time and has flared up many times over decades. This conflict's import to world powers is not zero, but it's also not a lot, and the risks of that conflict spreading to other countries is essentially nil.
  
  Half joking, but I do think all these separate events with superpowers backing smaller states is increasing global tensions and risking a step closer to a red line somewhere.
  
  There's a non zero chance that Iran would intervene.
- For real. Covid wasn't enough of a problem for the decade? Leaders feel the need to add war into the mix?
  
  Need to cull in order to strengthen the herd when the economics of a larger population are inviable.
  
  COVID only relaxed inflationary tension, it didn't address the underlying issues which hurt economic sustainability.
- We haven't even had the Bell riots yet!
- Life was fun while it lasted
  
  Was it, though?
  
  I mean, there were a couple weeks in Costa Rica that.. uhh *cough ahem* I mean, yeah it mostly sucked though.

"Hey, Blinken."

"Did you say Abe Lincoln?!"
- Wish he’d run for president, A. Blinken, it’s your destiny
Saw it and just trying to FYI, doesn't look good, though.
