    Interesting but not surprising. We live in a 3rd world country. I’m surprised we haven’t got packs of wild proto-humans roaming the streets canabalising innocent people with over a decade of fuck ups.

    We can’t build anything. We can’t fix anything. At this point I think it would be an improvement if Russia invaded or nuked us.

        I don’t care what the official definition is. I’m calling us a shitole country like Rwanda or Nicaragua.

        My life would be significantly improved if we were invaded or nuked by Russia.

          It would certainly be shorted. I don’t think it would be improved. Seriously, if you are facing crushing depression at the moment please do call https://www.samaritans.org - a conversation really can help. Thinking of you.
