It’s not just that one unfortunately. It’s likely at around 100.000 deserters now, and half of that were from 2024 alone.

I’m not questioning that, I just am very worried how this will continue - especially after the orange toddler gets into office.

Well, they also face quite some serious desertion issues at the moment too.

They always only care when affected themselves. In Europe we’ll likely not even consider this specific case while pushing for an end to encryption and mass surveillance through backdoors.

This is pretty much the only thing that gives me still the slightest sliver of hope, because if this succeeds, it would have massive potential to turn things around. And the chances for this to work out aren’t as far away as something like fusion.

That just means Vance will take over. The fascist enablers in this party are not going to just stop their attempt at a take-over just because Trump nopes out (which still remains to be seen).

Where did they “express glee over their corpses”?

Any guess who “they” may refer to? Commanders? Generals? Politicians in the Kreml?

People who murder, rape, torture and plunder. They all made their choice, even if that choice was complacency. In the end, they became aggressors, and consequently taken out, as they should. The moment you cross the border into Ukraine, you’re an invader.

It behaves that way because we want it to behave that way. It’s a complete non-story.

That’s why they’re popular for chat roleplaying scenarios. They’re just good at bullshitting to make you believe they sound somewhat real. I doubt word prediction based “AI” could ever gain any sort of sentience and actually think for itself - assuming that’s even possible at all with tech. If it is, it’s going to be through different methods than this.

In a decision Friday, New York Judge Juan Merchan noted that his inclination was to not impose a sentence of incarceration.

Fool.

the only other viable option may be to postpone proceedings until after Trump’s presidential term is over.

Fool… Trump is not going to go out of office until he’s dead.

You think the pandemic shutdown was simple?

Compared to the consequences that await us? Yes.

I don’t know what you being an introvert has to do with this, or why you feel the need to constantly push those thin veiled, passive aggressive insults around. It’s not a matter of you sitting at home instead of socializing, it’s a matter of degrowth. Our economic model does not work. Our mode of transportation do not work. Our consumerism does not work. Our constant need for growth, does not work!

And if you haven’t noticed it yet, fascism is already on the rise, and will grow further the more climate refugees knock on our doors. But I guess when Frontex ends up shooting them in the thousands at the borders you’ll just acknowledge that with mild interest as well.

People like you are quite literally proving my point and just reaffirm my stance. You all don’t care, and you do not understand where we’re headed.

Should come without Denuvo, so that makes it immediately better in my book.

I was about to say that. Honestly looks better than anything released since the first games on the Mega Drive.

No, stop the mental gymnastics to make yourself feel better.

The downturn and consequent emissions drop during the pandemic very clearly showed that it is indeed that simple if we’re all committed enough. Because that trajectory, if we would’ve kept it up until 2035, would’ve pretty much exactly landed us on our emission targets for that date.

The truth of the matter is that no one is ready for that, not corpos, not politicians who want to get (re-)elected, and sure as hell not voters - that much is very clear.

And to be clear, I have a much easier time since I stopped caring. I do my part and that’s it, so that at least my conscience remains clean. But if humanity collectively wants to erase itself then be my guest. I’m not stopping you, because I simply can’t. And how people act nowadays I am not even sure I want to.

By that standard you’ll have to be dragged kicking and screaming towards energy transition

That’s highly ironic since I’m apparently the only one who actually would support drastic climate action while everyone else votes for the comfortable fascists that push for coal because their fucking eggs are too expensive.

Whatever, I’m done with this species. It’s clear that you all want this to happen so who the fuck am I to stop you all from jumping from the cliff.
