  • When evaluating Mutually Assured Destruction scenarios military must consider backup plan for what happens after we bomb ourselves back to Stone Age. Russia has much more capability to carry on due to size, low population density and being used to things being awful all around. They’re mad but they are also cold calculating bastards that they are probably estimating chances of Syberia / Arctic being habitable after bombs and global warming.

    „What is the point of the world without Russia in it?” - Putin bluffed some time ago.














  • I’m fairly sure they are speaking of recognising territory belonging to a certain country. For example, US doesn’t recognise Palestine while plenty of the world does. Trump as a president can definitely shape US foreign policy like that.

    [edit] I just realised the next step is Google Maps displaying that Crimea belongs to Russia for everyone regardless of location because that’s how US rolls these days lol.



  • The sole fact that people looking for long term relationships resort to Tinder is an example of how underserved that market is, and that’s because there’s too little money to make there. It’s more profitable to string people along with subscriptions and buy competition just to turn them into more Tinder clones.

    People still make families even if they don’t have children anymore. People are also more likely to have kids when their life is safe and stable and having a partner definitely helps.





  • I know this is my most crackpot take and I usually ease people into the concept by listing increasingly novel business types that need to be nationalised :P

    I’m putting this in the air so that people can start thinking about what a modern services could be provided by a healthy social democratic system. If I can convince capitalists that nationalising card processing is beneficial to everyone then one day I’ll convince y’all Valve needs to be converted into a non-profit.

    When I got sick it took me a month to realise I might have had what my grandma had. That got scary for a moment because her tests were always normal and my whole family, myself included, thought she was a druggie. I got dead set on getting to the bottom of it and therefore got diagnosed in likely a record time despite being seronegative.

    If you want to put a cherry on top then you can add referral to a psychologist in the last panel XD




  • Those failed Linux moves happened because governments are cheap and defer entire digitisation to municipalities and other local forms of government. It’s like there’s no planning of anything anymore („free market will solve everything”). It sounds ridiculous but even effing North Korea knows better.

    If they were serious about it they’d hire couple of dozen open source software contributors first, do a small scale trial run where you iron out the kinks and submit patches where necessary and only then roll this out to regular govt clerks.

    You can’t expect projects running on a shoestring budget to provide you with commercial grade solutions. Of course if you hire a big corpo that will promise you everything above but those somehow always turn out to be scams.
