Policymakers in the Chinese and Russian governments must be in heaven, having such predictable geopolitical rivals.

Other. If they're open minded enough to ask for details, good. If they instantly pass judgement without being curious about details and nuances, I dodged a bullet.

Ironically, this causes the west to not stand a chance, because it proves they are incapable of acting based on facts, and only capable of acting on predictable ideology.

I was hesitant to search for that in case it gave me an urbandictionary link.

Maybe he wasn't technically her dad, but he was indeed a great father figure to her.

I lived in Calgary, Alberta, Canada until a few months after the city held a plebiscite on whether or not to go ahead with a bid for the 2026 winter olympics. The last civic act I took part in there was to vote "no". I have since lost basically all faith in electoralism, but I remain proud of casting that particular ballot.

Prologues in books are stupid. Just make the prologue chapter 1.

I've noticed something on Tiktok lately. Occasionally I get those interstitial survey things that ask if I want to see more of the type of video I just watched, or less. It's always the trivial stuff that gets the "more" questions, like fashion, entertainment, goofy comedy, etc. But when they come up after anything related to politics, world events, activism, or science, they're always of the "less" type of question. My brain doesn't naturally leap to conspiracy theories but I am starting to get suspicious.

I like Deluge because it works very well with the seedbox service I'm using.

Watched Helluva Boss, loved it. So naturally I watched its sister show, Hazbin Hotel. Or so I tried. I chalked up the musical stuff in the first episode as first-episode-bombastic-ness-to-grab-attention. Second episode in and I'm realizing the show is actually a musical. I'm debating whether or not to keep watching.
