Fingers crossed.

Frankly, at this point I always assume that a given American mainstream public figure holds abhorrent views. Sometimes I get pleasantly surprised, but not as often as I’d like.

Just tucking collapse. Please. This war drives me to severe depression, I feel like a prisoner in what used to be my home. I’m already seriously considering sawing my leg off, just to have a chance of escaping this horrorshow of a country.

I can’t take this shit for one more year

I keep telling myself that the bastards don’t have it in them to last more than a few months at thus point. I’m so tired of being stuck in this horrible place, I can’t take it anymore. But sometimes it feels like this war will go on for years and years…

Yeah, makes sense. Thanks!

TND?

Honestly, I don’t think they’re capable of taking over anything. They’re brutes and bandits, nothing more.

That’s why I don’t use Windows, even in a dualboot setup. If a game doesn’t run in proton, U can live without it.

At least those genshin money are being put into good use.

You’re right, if course. But being trapped in a fascist country for 2.5 years, I have dim views of the perspectives of this nation, as well as my own. At this point, all that I feel towards this place, as well as people who gleefuly support turning it into what it has become, is deep resentment. I, personally, intend to leave it at the first opportunity and never step on Ukrainian soil again. That is, of course, if I won’t get buried in it.

Ukraine as a nation is dead.

It’s only now that people here start to open their eyes to the reality of things, but a lot of them are still blinded by the rabid hatered of Russians. By this point, I think it’s to late, the fascist government has the stranglehold on the people, strip-mining the country of money and human beings for the war effort, before inevitably jumping ship. Frankly, I don’t believe there’s any hope for Ukraine as a state and for Ukrainian people. Not in the nearest decades, at least.

It’s worth noting that the book Joker grows out of his obedience to the empire and gets to know and relate to the people he has come to Vietnam to kill. The movie doesn’t explore the second book of the duology (despite borrowing some imagery from it), where the consequences of serving the empire come back to bite Joker in the ass and, ostensibly, make him a better person.

All in all, I like the books a whole lot better.

The indie sector is also keeping it mostly lean. No other game has made me cry like Signalis did, and it’s less than a gig.

Fake news?

As soon as I finally move to Russia and settle down, I’m planning on taking the trip there with my SO. It’s going to be great.

They believe that the good guys always win, and they also believe themselves to always be the good guys. Hence the mental gymnastics.

We’re physically well, but mentally exhausted. Both of us can’t wait for this war to be over.

Puts my shitposting here in perspective

Sometimes it’s easy to look at the world events and say “yeah, this is horrible, but in the end it’ll lead us to the better world”, and kinda forget about those swept up in these events. I do this too, because the only other option is a complete burnout.

You can’t get out legally if you’re an adult male. You’d have to pay an exorbitant amount of money to get smuggled through the border, and it’s still very risky.

Usually it involves a long journey through the wilderness with non-zero chance of being lost, starved, frostbitten (at the colder times of year) having dangerous encounters with wildlife and even more dangerous ones with the customs.

Thank you, comrade… I’m just really hoping that the war will end soon, and I’ll be able to move away. I hate this place with a passion.

It was an unironically horrible year for a tankie, stuck in Ukraine, while my SO is right over the eastern border. I’m so tired… It’s hard to imagine normal life now.

Sadly, libs will hust brush it off, since they’re used to constitution being more of a suggestion.

Still, very based.
