Whenever you hear about drug traffickers and drug cartels, never forget Gary Webb.
This looks so inviting. I’m currently living in a winter hellscape 💀
I love snow and I am 100% planning on moving to a winter hellscape. The problem is I love moyorcycles as well.
Even in Siberia, the most wintery of winter hellscapes, you can still ride your motorcycle at least four to five months out of the year. I’m sure wherever you move you will still have that opportunity in the summer.
where is this
Pink beach, Sucre State, Venezuela.
Yesterday, I beat Nazi Germany as the USSR for the first time in Hearts of Iron IV.
Good. Do it again
I’ve switched to EaW.
So for years now I have been saying that not Russia but the US is the biggest threat to world peace / Europe and I got the necessary shit for that but now with Trump threatening Denmark I’m having my moment of smug
Keeping it to myself though as I need to steer people into the right direction now
Papa JDPON Don please invade Greenland to pwn the grötkäft thank you
Greenland is roughly 90% indigenous people; US occupation would be even worse than their current semi-colonial status
I’m just shitposting. I support the indigenous people’s right to self-determination.
👍

thanks, I forgot to update the links
Because of tthe possibility of a war, when looking at a place to rent I’m actively considering how likely the neighborhood could get bombed
If WW2 is anything to go by then Amsterdam is relatively safe as there are little strategic targets apart from Schiphol maybe. Living in Rotterdam would be worse I guess. This is something I am highly aware of when living in Antwerp lol. The place will be gone quickly.
True, but we do have the Marineterrein which is a ‘former’ military base in the center of the city, which still has some military use.
Just saw a vid of a journalist in Minneapolis who was reporting at the protests and she was wearing a bulletproof PRESS vest. How anyone can keep the facade going of the US being a stable country is beyond me.
Gonna wake up some day soon to reports about US invading Greenland aren’t I?
Which is funny because for years now we have been warned about evil Putin and is tankies kept saying that was bullshit and that the US is the real danger and look who’s right again.
Watch Ukraine side with the US when it happens. The media will have a mental breakdown trying to spin that into a positive.
The libs never even show any concern for the victims, they’re just like “this will embolden Putin/Xi/Kim”
Yes.
There goes my plan for hot girl summer 2026
Don’t forget to lift some weights
I am trying to but I am deadass tired coming back from work…
Fortunately the gym gives me energy and a place to bent, but it do be like that sometimes.
My psychiatrist put me on abilify for depression and I gained 50 lbs in a month. I’m off it now and I’m busting my ass trying to get back to 170. All my clothes are tight and uncomfortable 😭
Good luck I believe in you
I’m a centrist, I think both the Nothing Ever Happens Party and the It’s Happening Organisation have valid points. The truth is probably somewhere in the middle, either with half a thing happening all the time or something happening every two business days.
I am a centrist ML.
No jokers to my right deviation and no clowns to my left deviation.
(nobody ever gets what I am ever saying when I say that unless I explain it to them…)
Stuck in the middle with Mao
E X A C T L Y!
This is the only sensible position
This year feels exhausting to me already and we’re not even a week in. I’m trying to keep in perspective that’s part of the goal of shock action is to wear down and demoralize, but it still grates.
what is going on in Iran?
Some people answered here

The head of a University in Belgium, who is also a key figure of the Green party, got caught using AI to write her opening speech of the year and not only that, it contained quotes misatrributed to famous people. Like, fake Einstein quotes and stuff. I just think that’s funny as fuck.
