  • Bro you’re literally suggesting appeasing an invading aggressor who has shown that no matter the international agreements, no matter how many times they’ll promise “okay we stop now”, they’ll continue their warmongering.

    There’s no appeasing people like that. When they come up with such a ridiculous demand, you don’t consider part of it, you send back an equally ridiculous demand of your own. You don’t let them control the game.

    Also, that whole “Crimea is actually russian” bullshit talking point is literally Russian propaganda. It’s only “sort of true” today due to forced relocation of local Ukrainians to who knows where and allowing Russian nationals to move in after the annexation. Russian population was actually declining from the post-WW2 forced relocations.

    Also an area having a large ethnic group - even a majority - gives no right to the home country of the ethnic group to annex the area. If that was a right, e.g. Hungary would’ve had a legitimate claim to most of Transylvania, Slovakia, half of Slovenia, the border regions with Croatia, Serbia, Romania, and even parts of Ukraine. Hell, imagine how easy it would be for a county to use the EU open borders to mass emigrate to another country, establish ethnic/national majority in a region just in time for census then claim that territory…








  • Yep, there’s a wild difference between “feral” city/suburbia cats, and actual wild feral cats.

    I used to live in a pretty rural area in Hungary, butt end of suburbia, backing into the endless fields of wheat and corn, interrupted only by small patches of “woodland” (really just a dozen or so trees occupying a small area, enough to block the view but not big enough to house any larger animals, it’s mostly birds, rodents and feral cats).

    There used to be maybe ten colonies of feral cats in my immediate area, and those fuckers would fuck you up proper. They hated humans, and would cross half a field, a four lane road, and a canal just to attack you. Many a times I had to run from the bus stop to home to avoid a trip to tetanus and rabies land…








  • I firmly believe that COVID lockdowns have broken us. The social distancing, the lack of negative social feedback for abhorrent behaviour, even for a short period of time, has emboldened the worst of humanity to stop giving even that tiny fuck they previously gave.

    Yes, tons of people today are now so self-absorbed that they can’t even fathom thinking of others even for a millisecond. Everything is about “what about me?”, and even the mere suggestion that they consider others just for a moment angers them.

    We really failed as a society when we stopped telling these fuckers to fuck off.
