McConnell on Ukraine proxy war: "We haven’t lost a single American in this war. Most of the money that we spend, is spent on replenishing weapons, so it’s actually employing people here."[paraphrased]

  • I wouldn't even mind extending the war so much if there was any attempt to have some good faith peace negotiations to at least entertain a chance at peace??? Russia has always been up for peace talks, Ukraine/the West has not. In fact I am still often shouted down if I so much as say that all sides should be discussing the possibility of peace.

    I agree Russia bad and should not be doing an awful invasion, but there is also a much wider context to their invasion that involves Ukraine refusing to give its eastern regions a vote on their own future and bombing civilians for 8 years. This war was very far from inevitable, even without giving Russia any major concessions.

  • And interestingly, there's little defederating going the other way. Honestly the only real criticism I see is that libs don't like that they can't regurgitate anti-China made up nonsense without being corrected.

    • Tesla owners are expressing buyer’s remorse - if not by selling their Teslas, then at least with an apologetic bumper sticker.

    • I just deleted my reddit account, and it's long overdue.

  • Had a very similar experience. I've frequently found that kind of problem is a direct result of the community simply growing 'too large'. The only way to moderate is hit everyone even slightly suspected of being out of line with a brick.

    Back in ye olden days of forums and boards, even flagrant transgression of rules were typically forgiven and you were dealt with like a human because moderators had time and care for the community and people.

  • If indie devs really have that preference, then they need to remove the DRM/Vendor-locking stuff in their games, unfortunately. If your game relies on eg. Steam for the multiplayer or workshop mods, then people are going to prefer resellers.
