If Trump, god forbid, were elected, one of the things he has threatened is to withdraw from NATO and let Putin just overrun Europe. It will be difficult to do anything economically when being actively invaded by someone who doesn’t care about the lives of his own soldiers, much less that of civilians.
Not @RemindMe@programming.dev , but here’s your one-year reminder.
Sounds like we didn’t use enough then, if you’re still here.

Shipmate, why don’t you come on down to King’s Bay and find out?
Sounds like you’re violating Rule 6, and also making terroristic threats.
Vice Admiral Stirling was using his work computer, not using a VPN, and wasn’t paying attention in basic IT training. Should’ve just asked literally anyone in Engineering. Guarantee they already have the entire thing on a 20 TB NAS stashed away somewhere in the outboards.
Slava Ukraini, Crimea is Ukraine, and if you don’t like it you can taste nuclear fire. HOOYAH AMERICA. The SSBN force stands ready to set condition 1SQ for strategic launch! Fuck the FSB, fuck Putin, and fuck anyone who supports them. KILL THE BEAR. Churchill should’ve followed through with Operation Unthinkable when he had the chance.
US Navy submariner checking in!
No, but the US does. I, for one, as an SSBN sailor, am ready and willing to set condition 1SQ for Strategic nuclear launch at any time. Slava Ukraini, HOOYAH AMERICA. Kill the Bear!
Be the change you want to see in the world. You have nothing to lose but your chains.
Go back to lemmygrad, your kind isn’t welcome here, tankie. Slava Ukraini. Proud member of the SSBN force, ready to set 1SQ for strategic nuclear launch when directed. KILL THE BEAR!
Slava Ukraini. Now to deliver more of those F-16s for Ukraine.
The concept of the “Torment Nexus” is a placeholder for any technology specifically described as dystopian or otherwise contributing to suffering in fiction, such as mass surveillance, mind control technology, and so on. The meme refers to modern-day corporations missing the point of the fiction, and creating said “Torment Nexus” as something they view as “cool” and “futuristic”. In some cases, the companies are self-aware enough to not pretend that their creation is anything other than dystopian, but in many cases they try to sell the new technology to the public as a good thing despite that very tech being described as dystopian already.
So tell me, what part of their creation was “solving real-world problems” beyond playing to the desires of autocrats and control freaks? What part of their creation was a net positive to society? Or are you happy to live in a world of autonomous drone strikes on weddings and kindergartens, mass surveillance, a thermonuclear sword of damocles hanging over all of humanity, and so on?
How about the following examples:
So Isaac Asimov, Arthur C. Clarke, and Robert A. Heinlein aren’t qualified to give understandings of the technologies they wrote about?
Sure thing, tankie. If calling out the USSR makes me a Nazi then dress me in jackpots and Hugo Boss clothes I guess, despite being first generation Chinese in the US.
That’s with Western weaponry helping out. But with orange man, Europe would be on its own. I can only hope you’re right with Poland if things go south.
