    I saw a tweet after the last French election that was like "35% of France are fascists. That is the good news."

    There’s a strong possibility that we won’t even need to worry about Russia. At the rate the world is going, everyone might just nuke themselves out of sheer stupidity and the people continually enabling it.

    "The bombs dropped on Hiroshima were fake and nuclear weapons are a hoax." Just when you thought you heard the dumbest thing-

    I've been to Hiroshima, you can still see physical evidence of the detonation. What do they think created it?

    I feel so isolated from people lately. But also that if I try talking to anyone, I'd just be bothering them with my problems. It's tough.

    I don't really know where that stems from, but if I have to guess, it's a poor case of self-esteem. Seeing that you're not as worthy as everyone else and that talking about yourself, is not only boring, but a waste of time...

    Perhaps it's a good idea to take a look at the mirror, see how you've treated yourself lately, and perhaps, examine your relationship with yourself... or go through my path in life and pretend everything is ok while crying for help every now and then. I don't recommend such a path.

    I'd say it's worth giving those people (whomever you're talking about) a chance to hear you out, even if they do seem stressed. Sometimes being able to listen and help with someone else gives one a chance to set aside their own worries for a time. They may even find it helpful to approach new problems or the same from a different angle.

    I discovered I missed my chance to reconnect with a friend by almost two years from a message I never saw until now, and lost my chance.

    Did they spend years thinking I was never interested in having them in my life again?

    I've been on both sides of that, it's fairly common. If they're still active, shoot them a message - they might really like to hear from you.

    Ironically, Russia keeps claiming the Ukraine is part of Russia, so historically, they should've known, invading it was never going to work.

    Life is getting dangerously close to being back under control again....how will this go wrong, I wonder?

    Is "It's the left and cancel culture's fault, I'm an asshole who did those things in the first place." Going to be the slogan now?

    If it gets you a Netflix comedy special with a title like "Triggered", sure.

    Here's a little trick to avoid "Triggering" anyone by getting caught doing shitty things. Don't do the thing.

    I kind of want to pick up Hogrwats Legacy. As much as I don't respect the creator, I can still enjoy the universe.

    Wait two days and get it pre-owned. Boom, you can play the game without putting money in a shitty person's pocket (well, not the very publicly notable shitty person, let's be realistic)

    I didn't care for Rowling well before the actual controversy came out. Much of her writing seems more vindictive and petty to try and win any argument she was ever had, didn't endear me to her well before that point.

    I feel as if we are witnessing the fall of the roman empire. And I'm not part of the side that's going to still be standing.

    We reached the brink of nuclear war. It's uncertain if we can even expect next morning to come, but I truly value the friends I made here.

    Thanks and I appreciate the sentiment. But I prefer for those acquaintanceships/friendships to continue on for a few more decades :)

    From what I know, only one side threatened a nuclear option o far... Starting this would be... well, you know Fallout games Franchise? They present somewhat positive outcome. Positive in a sense, that there is actually something left after the nuclear war.

    How does playing chess actually translate to military strategy? I see that in a lot of media, but they never expand on actually how.

    It's basically a narrative shortcut to show a character thinks "tactically". And also gives said character a chance to use cliche dialogue talking about "pawns" and what not.

    You should see the chess match from No Game No Life where the pieces have wills of their own and refuse to be sacrificed because virtually no one would obey an order that requires them to die, something chess doesn't take into account.

    You know, I used to like the Joker and Harley Quinn...now I kind of hate seeming them appear in almost every dam DC thing.

    The over saturation of the Joker in particular has me very... tired of him. Harley I kind of go back and forth on because now that she's basically DC's equivalent to Deadpool she can at least be placed in different dynamics so there's more you can do with her compared to Mr J.

    The Joker kind of suffers from....how to put it....the idea is I'm going to go "Wow, he was behind it all! What a diabolical mastermind!" but it actually kind of has the opposite effect where I just stop caring explicitly because they make him behind everything that ever happens. If anything, it diminishes the impact.

    As for Harley Quinn....I didn't dislike her, at first. But I don't feel like she needs to be a central plot character to every movie and game ,she's ever in. Not to mention, Poison Ivy who was one of my favorites, mostly has devolved into just being a prop for character shilling, the squealing clown schoolgirl and doesn't really hold any identity of her own anymore, other than "Harley's sometimes girlfriend."

    As did I a long time ago. Eventually, however, I just figured that it's not worth hating the world.

    There's always going to be a bumbling idiot out there somewhere, and everywhere, so what's the point. Best to just focus on improving your world rather than the world at large.

    To quote a movie:

    "You can be as mad as a mad dog at the way things went. You could swear, curse the fates, but when it comes to the end, you have to let go."

    Basically, to me and with my experience, it's futile. Say what you want, bellow your curses, punch a pregnant woman, but it won't make you anymore happier, satisfied, or indifferent with the world, and at that point, what's the point.
