Oh. I had the entirely wrong context in my mind. I thought the mainland of Ukraine was attacked by russia.

Now I see it was Ukraine that attacked russia (Ukraine).

So this is actually good news.

Daaaaaaaaamn!!! So, roughly 60-70% of Ukraine has no power at all. And about 30‐39% has partial power.

Then that little 1% has full power.

MinnesotaGoddam…California…No no no no no no! This isn’t adding up at all! Minnesota isn’t in California!!! Unless it is now…they always said California was going to break away from the mainland, and drift into the ocean. I haven’t been watching the news lately. Maybe I missed that story.

HEY WAIT A SECOND!!! MINNESOTA ISN’T IN THE OCEAN!!! HEY EVERYBODY!!! THIS GUYS A BIG OL’ LIAR!!! JUST TELLING LIES!! ON THE INTERNET!!! THINK OF THE CHILDREN!!! SOMEBODY SHOULD START A LEGAL BILL WHERE WE SAY WE’RE PROTECTING THE CHILDREN FROM THE WILD WANDERING ISLAND OF CALIFORNIA, but really we just do evil stuff instead…

That tracks. This sub has a post every few days where it shows russias losses in a breakdown.

It was at 1.3M last time I looked, about a month ago.

Maybe I don’t get what you’re asking.

If you created your own instance, running it on your own, and the Iranian government shut off your internet, YOU could still access the instance, since you’re on the same Lan inside your house…but how would other people access it if you don’t have internet?

OH COME ON!!! You can’t just say divisive things like that!!! Delete this post!!!

Not who you’re replying to, but…nope.

Have you seen the president, or met any of the millions of people who voted for him?

They say opinions can’t be wrong, since they’re opinions. Well, yours is the exception to the rule. Your opinion is factually wrong.

Ok…but what if China wants Russia to lose in a future war agsinst China? So they trsined them poorly on purpose.

I’m already seeing on bluesky, in the discover tab, politicians saying how they voted to approve this bill.

Then bragging about it.

Which, maybe it’s just me, but it comes off kinda weird. Imagine if I tweeted “I did the thing at work I’m expected to do! And for once I didn’t get bullied out of my position! Yeah! Go me!”

I’m all for sending Ukraine all the help they want. I just find it weird seeing politicians bragging about it hours after the innitial vote before we can see any actual results. Because you’re a fool if you think trump won’t be finding ways to make this vote mean nothing.

Holy shit. I thought when you said that it would be like 16 year olds.

They look 12. Some look even younger.

Clearly nothing bad can come of this!

Yes, this. Actually I should have lead with this.

Ukraine: Ok. Give us back Crimea, and all land formally recognized as Ukrainian before 2014.

What a long winding confusing road to walk, only to arrive right back where we started, making the whole thing pointless. Guess Russia should have listened 4 years ago.

“Russia go home”

And also when Switch 2 has just nothing going for it.

Like, what am I supposed to get excited about? What’s the system seller? What the hot game I’m supposed to lose my mind over?

I don’t see it. I see a company which at one point in my life DOMINATED the video game space. Then, shot themselves in the foot several times, and willingly gave up their number 1 spot.

Then I watched them reinvent themselves. They became the quirky underdog with style and an asthetic that was colorful, and vibrant. When the PS2 was an industry juggernaut, it was a black box with a blue logo, and nothing more. Meanwhile gamecube was bright purple, the controller was multicolored, and the system had a handle. It was quirky.

And thats what they remained until this. The Switch 2. A black rectangle. No design. No personality. Forgetable games. And price increases across the board.

You know what I got instead? The Retroid Pocket Flip 2. The one made to look like it was gamecube inspired.

Do you think 20 years from now, novelty devices will be nostolgic for Switch 2’s asthetic? I don’t even know what that would be! At least switch 1 had the red and blue joycon look. Seriously, if you had to draw something Switch 2 inspired, how would you convey that???

Fuck_AI says “Duck AI” and “Duck autocorrect”, which as we all know is just primitive AI.

Mayor Sobyanin reported that there were no casualties at the scene.

Well dangit! Ok, round 2…

I realize that Ukraine doesn’t have nukes, but why don’t they use regular bombs, and target Moscow specifically?

I feel like if you bomb the place that all the rich assholes are, this war ends years faster. It brings the war that they’re paying for, right up to their doorstep, rather than a thing they read about in the news.
