The PTSD of surviving a battlefield like this will be a unique kind of horrific. Like, don’t get me wrong - all PTSD is bad. But when the war ends and the Ukrainians and Russians have left their trenches, they’re going to take with them the experience of being hunted by machines day and night. Any little sound of an electric motor, like from their kid’s RC toy car, might be the thing that brings back memories of hiding in trenches, fox holes, abandoned & bombed out buildings from somebody hunting them with a drone.

It just feels so personal, in a way. Having someone fly one of these things around, looking for you. Having them hover right over you, trying to figure out if you’re already dead so they don’t have to waste the drone & explosives. Having them taunt you as you scramble for safety.

And yeah - the Russians definitely brought that shit on themselves. But they have drones too, now. And so will every army in the world after this war. It’s just all so “Black Mirror”.

… What?

I’m sorry - are you asking me when I last met Donald Trump because you think that “real life” means only the people I personally come into contact with, and not, you know, things that really happen in the world?

I really hope you’re not lumping Trump in with that whole “most people being reasonably honest and kind” bit. Because, oof.

Well damn. That is really unfortunate.

Not that he has cancer, mind. That’s great. Him getting treated for it is unfortunate.

Well… we don’t live in normal times. In normal times, you’d reflect on your behavior and realize that you’ve been a really shit human being, and take actions to correct it.

Well… good luck to you. I wish you godspeed in your quest to put one over on the asshole who warned you against invading his homeland. Hope you’re quick enough to dodge the first couple dozen drones he sends your way.

Edit: In case it’s not clear, I’m explicitly hoping that you, personally, die in a fire.

No, they do exist. It’s just that everything is fish.

I read an article several years ago that was arguing that blackberry plants should be classed as carnivores. The idea sounds absolutely absurd, but the more you squint at it, the more sense it makes. Blackberry bushes grow incredibly dense thickets of brambles, and those brambles snag and don’t let go easily. Shepherds in areas with blackberry bushes often have to rescue sheep that eat the blackberries and get stuck in the brambles. If they don’t get rescued, they’ll eventually die and decompose, thus adding a bunch of nitrogen and other useful chemicals to the soil which cause the plant to become larger and healthier.

So while they don’t actively kill creatures like the venus fly trap or pitcher plants, they do grow in a way that can trap and kill animals, and they benefit hugely from the nutrients those animals provide.

It was a publicity stunt to promote his tax policy that lets certain people deduct up to $25k on tips. A random doordash driver would not be allowed access; even given how deeply incompetent everybody is over there, there are still SOME security restrictions in place.

I think it must have been a typo, and OP meant to write “Cunting”. Trump truly is the most cunting cunt ever.

Yeah… the president of the United States of America posted this picture on his social media platform earlier today:

This AI slop is just an improvement on the AI slop he posted earlier.

We should treat him like an Egyptian pharoah, and entomb him with all of his cabinet members.

Love this pic of him cowering on Jan 6th, 2021, though.

Just a conduit. Thankfully, Danny DeVito is rad.

This is giving strong “I hope nobody finds out I went to Epstein island” vibes.

Standard traitor shit.

They gave plenty of statements of caution before the election, and most of the country simply didn’t care. So now we reap what we have sown. We did this to ourselves.
