God, I hate how this is accurate on both accounts. Fucking dog whistles...

Counterpoint: I lived in Sweden and I miss that winter's gloom. Sure, it's dark before the snow falls but it gives you something to look forward to.

Sounds like Canada anywhere not near the ocean. I'm in that same boat, and I'll happily trade the stupidly hot summers for two extra months of winter.

I miss the moderate summers of Scandinavia in that regard. Sure, it rained a lot, but at least you could go outside without roasting to a crisp in minutes during summer.

So very true. Dressing for cold is so much easier than heat it's mindboggling to read some of these summer fan comments. Like, do you guys actually live on the same planet as I do? Cause this one sucks the minute temperatures go past 20c.

Thank you for perfectly describing just about all the reasons I would skip summer altogether if I could.

The one missing complaint from my end is that you can't do anything outside or in a non-AC building without instantly sweating like you took a shower with your clothes on.

And don't get me started on everything being on fire. The only thing worse than regular summer is a summer where you can't see the skies for several month's due to the smoke and you have to worry about your house burning down all the damn time.

Couldn't agree more with the OOP.

"Just one more layoff. Just one more and I promise we'll have Copilot reach AGI. We just need one more layoff to make the cost structure work. Please, just one more."

Hey, I think I'm experiencing déjà vu. Wasn't it Trump who cut pandemic preparedness last time too. You know, right before the last global pandemic that killed over a million Americans?

Yeah, I agree. Not sure why the west is so eager to shield Israel from their responsibilities, but Netanyahu and co should stand trial for their crimes against humanity. But so should Khamenei.

Agreed. I don't care who gets tried in The Hague first though, so long as both get their lawful comeuppance.

This is the only sane take. Bombing hospitals is a war crime for a goddamn reason.

There is simply no excuse for this, both sides should be held liable for their war crimes.

It's the same mindset that causes people to call every photo AI generated.

It's almost like they've lost faith in human capabilities to the point of assuming humans are incapable altogether.

This is literally the same mindset that "aliens did it" conspiracy thinkers use, and I think it's incredibly sad to see.

How can anyone look at the complete and utter shitshow down south and think "yeah, I wanna be part of that"? The US is in declime by just about any accepted metric, assuming you can ignore all the blatant human rights abuses being conducted out in public long enough to even look at metrics right now.

There should be no reasonable argument for a Canadian to want to get annexed other than sheer, unadulterated, racism, transphobia, or fascism.

And if you support any of those things, I think you're the one who should get annexed personally by being relocated to the down south trash heap.

At this point it's practically the official dub. As it should be, because it's hilarious.

This is the exact shit the Republicans down south have pulled for years and it's pernicious. Once the seeds of doubt have been planted about the fairness of our elections, it opens the door to all kinds of shenanigans from voter discouragement to full-on Jan 6 style coup attempts, or even Russian-style "liberations".

We need to stamp this out right now before it gets weaponized against us

Congratulations, you win both this thread and my disgust. This is literally every company in software development these days.

Island full of racists, several cults, and whatever the Telvanni are into that's not just straight up racial superiority, slavery, and eugenics. Plus some really fucked up gods.

Depends on your expectations. If you okay mainly eSports titles at 1080p it would've probably been quite sufficient still.

But I agree it's a stretch as an all-rounder system in 2025. My 3090 is already showing signs of it's age, a card that's two generations older would certainly be struggling today.

While that's largely true, it also oversimplifies the realities of the conflict.

Without American aid the Russians wouldn't have been able to repel the Germans nearly as effective as they did (if at all), and without D-day splitting the war into two fronts, Russian losses on the way to Berlin would've been significantly higher.

That all said, Trump's statement is obviously horseshit and a complete disservice to the rest of all the allied forces.

And how, pray tell, is a "real" firearm going to help defend against the most technologically advanced army in the world, who can take you out from half a planet away without you ever seeing anyone until you are ginsu-bladed in half (reference: https://www.pcmag.com/news/us-used-drone-carrying-knife-missile-to-kill-al-qaeda-chief)?

We don't need more firearms in personal hands when it comes to our national defence, we need alliances, a better standing army, and probably some form of nuclear deterrence. Thinking you'll make any meaningful difference with your personal firearm and a couple of hours on the gun range is the exact same magical thinking 2FA nuts keep using while the US government takes their rights and freedoms away.

While I agree with your main point (which to me sounds like "don't let your cats outside as they're an invasive species and will do serious damage to the local ecosystem"), suggesting to kill them on sight is a bit harsh and won't make you many allies.

We have much more humane options to capture, return, and if needed rehouse cats. Remember that these objectively invasive animals are also people's companions, and that some folks simply don't know better than the old belief that "cats should roam".
