We'll see how it works out, I guess. I voted against it, personally, because it adds a bunch of extra responsibilities to existing programs without any extra long-term funding to go along with it. I'm concerned that stretching limited resources even thinner may not be the best strategy.

Actually the battle lines have hardly moved at all since Ukraine withdrew from Avdiivka.

Lol, no one's putting a gun to people's heads to make them act bigoted. If your response to being accused of racism is "Oh, yeah? I'll show you racism!" then you're just showing your true colors.

Well, of course he is. He's evil, not crazy. He knows he would lose that war very badly.

Great. That always works out well. /s

Remember: the cruelty is the point. No amount of logical argument about the uselessness of executions for deterring crime, or about how often innocent people are convicted of serious crimes or especially appeals to basic human mercy will sway a dedicated conservative from their desire to inflict suffering on those they deem lesser than themselves.

I see you've already found Jack London. I remember enjoying White Fang a lot as a kid, though it's been a while since I read it so I'm not 100% certain how well it holds up.

The official FAQ says at least 25k karma (or a mod with at least 500 mod actions). Open registration isn't supposed to be until the first. If you don't meet either of those criteria then I guess that's just a lie.

The safe bet is Russia becoming more and more subordinate to China.

It's still censorship. The distinction is that most private entities can't enforce their censorship with violence.

Seriously? Anyone voting for mister "grab them by the pussy" has zero right to criticize a married man for talking about having sex with his wife. What an absolute nothing of a story.

"Please be aware of the power dynamics in your group and ensure that everyone in your meeting feels able to express themselves and has an equal chance to be heard."

That seems extremely reasonable, actually?
