At least they're very transparent with who they don't think have rights

People complaining about Facebook on Facebook is profitable for Facebook

Delete it, stop being part of the reason other people are there. If you can realise it's a cesspool and get out, so could they.

I encounter a surprisingly large number of people who seem ashamed about their Facebook usage and say things like "but I need it for [..]" or "but I only use Messenger" or some other way they rationalise it to themselves

Just get out.

That's how you get new checks and balances, once the dictator falls.

But you're right the US is rapidly burning its power and alliances. That would take decades to repair, and they might never reach the same position again.

The US can't sign a peace treaty on behalf of Ukraine. They're not mandated to negotiate by Ukraine.

The US can stop supporting Ukraine but that doesn't force the Ukrainians to stop fighting, or Europe to stop supporting Ukraine

It's never over.

Even the worst dictatorship can collapse. They get internally couped until the dictator learns to purge anyone capable of challenging them, then human mortality fixes that dictator and the government collapses

It's not good though. The best time to fix it was ages ago before Reagan. The second best time is right now before the police state is firmly in place

Arguably, the nearby sun scale fusion reactor has been fairly useful for us. Nowadays we can convert its output directly into electricity using solar cells

What part of your country are you willing to give to Russia to keep the peace?

And then repeat every few years until all of your country is russia

Isn't peace grand?

There's something that might be about abortion in the bible, but it's about how to perform one in case of adultery

It's not a proxy war. It's an invasion with international support for the defence of the invaded nation.
