    If military superiority were measured in size, Putin could’ve had his two day war. Alas, they have only displayed inferiority which continues to damage Russia’s economy, population, and global reputation, despite Ukrainian boots remaining at home. It seems Putin has finally looked further down the timeline and realised his forces are incapable of taking Ukraine, let alone the strenuous task of occupying a very resistive nation.





  • I wouldn’t be so sure. Government bailouts tend to happen because they’re almost forces to. Where the economy can suffer greater loss without the bailout. Generally, in a scenario where a company or corporation has nestled itself into something the economy is dependent on. Of course what happens after that bailout is the bad part where it often seems nothing is done to alleviate the economy’s dependency, nor is the actions of the body receiving the bailout regulated, monitored, or needing to pay it back.

    I don’t know how much dire a state the US economy would be in with Boeing missing or significantly damaged, but can’t imagine it’s perceived to be as bad as the crooked banks.

    Edit: Oh, wait. The military is dependent on them. Yeah, there’d be a bailout lol



  • Still won’t ever forget my stint in hospitality, having to take a meal back to 4 jacked up chefs in the zone…

    “Um…”

    “What?!”

    “The guy on table 15 says he asked for medium and this is rare…”

    4 pairs of blood-shot eyeballs glare at me

    “Fine! We’ll just fucking stop the whole kitchen for this fucking moron. Get another fucking steak! The worst cut! Scorch the fucking thing to well-done. Tell him twenty minutes because he can fucking wait!”

    “O-okay…”

    twenty minutes later

    “Is the steak for 15 ready yet?”

    “How the fuck would I know.” looks at steak “Sure… Hang on.” drowns it in juices caught off the grill “It’s overcooked. He won’t know.”

    And sure enough the customer thought the well-done steak was a spot on “medium”.
