  • US and Europe forced this war into a stalemate by not allowing Ukraine to do what was necessary in the early period.

    This sounds like some kind of Hegseth rant. The US/EU wasn’t holding Ukraine back, it was juicing them up. The entire military budget for the country is being backfilled by NATO treasury notes. “Ah, but if we’d been just a bit more aggressive…” It’s all just Monday Morning Quarterbacking. “Shoulda thrown more Hail Marys to win the game.”

    How’s that going with Iran?







  • I spend all my sick days and a non-negligible number of vacation days on the kind of chores you can only get done during work hours. Back when we had “Work From Home”, I would also squeeze these tasks in during my lunch break.

    I don’t want to burn sick time for a doctor’s appointment (I need to save those for when my kid is actually sick), and I sure as hell don’t want to use up a “vacation” day for it.

    Well, good luck with that. My retired mother-in-law helps a lot with my son when he’s ill. And we can juggle my son between our individual sick-day allotments such that I haven’t run out yet. But yeah, eventually they’re all just “hours to spend that my boss won’t gripe at me for when I use them”. That’s meant dipping into vacation days when I needed to justify not being on the clock.





  • I’ve also done reading about what else the CCP does to people it doesn’t like

    The US churns out propaganda by the bucket load. I’m sure you’ve heard all sorts of crazy shit.

    I do wonder if you’ve noticed how often organs like the Epoch Times and New York Post co-mingle reactionary takes against the Chinese government with Republican talking points.

    Being surprised at this is also like being surprised the Nazis used imprisoned Jews as slave labour.

    Believing a pro-Nazi media when they tell you who to hate is certainly a vibe
