  • Wait, do people shut down their computers when they’re done using them?

    I know I did on the desktop PC we had at home when I was a kid… But now the desktop doubles as a homeserver (and does that more than it does gaming lately) and the laptop just goes to sleep rather than shutting it down.

    “We’ll try anything as long as it fits in our exact worldview and doesn’t inconvenience us in any way whatsoever”

    Meanwhile remote-first companies are saving money on office space and can use that to hire more people, while also immediately being greener than a company with commuters that have to worship the concrete temple.





  • I’m neither a, s nor p lmao.

    So why don’t you move back to Russia? Presumably you still have a citizenship.

    So many Russians abroad praise the homeland while enjoying the relative freedom that other countries bring to the table. Yet none seem to understand that others don’t want to live in Russia either.

    Ukrainians tend to be proud of their national identity - which, yes, I know, only Russians are allowed to be, but apparently many people don’t seem to care - so it’s pretty hard to convince them to go back to being second class citizens of yet another attempt at a Russian Empire.




  • Dude, most of Europe is also pledged to help the US when attacked. In fact the US is the ONLY country ever to have invoked article 5.

    Ukraine is not a member but is strategically important to NATO because it’s strategically important to the Russian empire’s restoration, which we kinda want to prevent. Plus they’ll be a powerful ally once they can join, which they really want to nowadays.

    Now the US could go full isolationist, but if a Russian-Chinese alliance takes over all of Eurasia, y’all are really going to lose out on a lot of trade and access to resources, plus might actually be susceptible to invasion if you have no allies left.
