If they really wanted to make some big city moves, NK would just start artillerying SK, China would take Taiwan, and Russia would keep rolling their tanks to Paris. And there's not a lot anyone could do about it.

Well this aged poorly. Russian tanks appear to be made out of cardboard.

So, a lot of this is perfectly true and valid, but I don't suppose you happen to have a time machine to do anything about it?

I just think your money would be better spent in your own country rather than sending it to a lost cause. We’re probably in for another Cold War, this time possibly against China as well. We should probably try to be in the best economic situation possible.

$0, I'm probably not gonna win this game with that attitude. Also, progress log.

The Russians will just seize the money when they eventually take over the capitol.

I’ve also been a huge proponent of having strong deterrence against Russia in Europe for the longest time for situations exactly like this. Europe has been in lala land, cutting their military budgets and relying on the US and the UK for their defense needs so they can move that funding to comfy social programs. Donating a few bucks when the enemy is already breaking down your door just seems kind of silly to me, that’s all.

Pretty sure my country has already donated a shitload of tax money to them so I’m good.

This’ll sort it out!

... that's just dumb.  Musk would be beaten to a pulp.

I don't know. Elon is way bigger, younger and can probably download any fighting style into his brain.

I wonder if this guy is still alive. It was posted several days ago on Plebbit.

Has the epic adventure come to an end?

Nah, I just did some deliveries today. I delivered some hairbands to an apartment complex in the hood. That's all they ordered, hairbands.

Conservatives defending Putin is hilarious. He's everything you hate about left-wing politicians only 10x worse.

Thork, what are you doing in Ukraine you crazy bastard?

There is but everyone's afraid Putin would just nuke the world out of spite.

Yeah that's what I mean.

Let's back an economically troubled nation with a giant ass nuclear arsenal further into a corner by imposing harsh sanctions. What could possibly go wrong?

Appeasing brutal expansionist dictators always goes well.

If he is willing to use nukes to get what he wants, he won't stop at Ukraine.  If he's that nuts, we're all fucked no matter what we do.

Nukes will be the only negotiation mechanism Russia will have if their economy is torn to shreds due to these super ultra harsh sanctions that are supposed to be coming. Indeed, they've already conducted ballistic missile drills and mentioned them in their recent political rhetoric.

OK, just passed Security +.  It was no fucking fun at all. Holy crap, it sucked.

Can confirm. Even if you know the material, CompTIA test question wordings are notoriously horrible. Although, it's a required cert if you want to get a gubmint security job in the US.

Can't argue with science. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

You do that constantly.

It's been slow the last couple of days.
Because I thought you were going to be one of the first Doordash millionaires. I'm sad for you.  :'(

I've never had the expectation that I'd be a millionaire doing any job, let alone DoorDash. If you thought that were possible, maybe you're just slow?

It's been slow the last couple of days. I did see one of those fire department command trucks slam into someone at an intersection though. He just ran the red light without any sirens or lights on. Luckily, the car he hit didn't seem too badly damaged and the driver was able to get out. Also, people in the hood don't tip that well. I delivered a giant Walmart order to some lady in a hood apartment complex and she tipped $2. To top it off, the complex had a gate and she didn't even provide a gate code in the delivery instructions. I called her and couldn't hear a word she was saying. It sounded like there were 10 people in the same room all talking as loudly as they could. I had to get out of the car and ask the person in the car behind me to open it. No more Walmart orders for me.
