Tbh i hate the mirror universe now… from being a not-so-serious in-joke that came back every now and then, not as much as nudging the timeline, plot or characters into any too serious a direction, to becoming an important part of cannon that I just don’t like… mostly because of Discovery and Picard.

It’s really just too cheesy. Alternative universes, by all means, but just a mirror universe where there’s a bit of a role reversal which stems from can only be described as “a trend in the 70s”.

Mirror this, bizarro that, cod sarn it. To call it a gimmick is a bit of an understatement. To call it cannon is a bit embarrassing.

Now excuse me, I’ve ranted about Star Trek on the interwebz, so now I have to go fulfill the government mandated 3 hours of grass touching.

Yeah? How about closing those sweatshops that pollute Chinese rivers, drinking water, that destroys soil so that plants can never grow again, where Chinese works inhale colorant and chemicals… how about that shit, CCP?

A white hole? Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. A black hole sucks time and matter out of the universe. A white hole returns it.

Apparently so. Submission redacted.

Red Dwarf.

There are no aliens. Everything is man-made or a result of human intervention.

Rob the place. Like constantly. Make a sport out of it.

Next, the breaking of the candlestick makers fingers.

It’s time to play…

…WHO WANTS TO ESCAPE!!!

Each year one lucky contestant gets to escape the machine instead of having their flesh and mind crushed by it. Maybe you’ll be the one who gets to not suffer anymore! You’re only one out of millions upon millions of people who have the same chance and a dream to not be society’s removed!

How about a competency test for politicians, how bout that? Competency in emotional intelligence, reading comprehension, an ethics check, maybe even just a cursory wherewithal check, even just a reality check.

If “alternative facts” are used, reject candidate.

I am person. Person needs sustenance. High probability of sustenance in this area. Highly recommended.

The less that is said about Spanish banking, the better. But let’s just say that if you want to hide money and transactions, Spain is sort of an epicenter for that here in Europe. Like large suathes of crash? Cayman Islands. Obsfucating and fuzzing transactional data? Spain - all the way.

Also, Caixa bank is just awful.

I say we drop them off on an island and give them the Battle Royale option instead. There might a chance they’ll both kill each other, but that’s a chance I’m willing to take.

Putin is literally an elite.

It’s a world story because nature is fighting back. Got hawks dropping snakes on mfs out here. WE NEED TO FOCUS ON SAVING THE ENVIRONMENT!!

So how does Putin’s boot taste like?

It begs the question… what’s the boardroom random bullshit timeline?

When was it random cloud bullshit go and when was it random Blockchain bullshit go, and what other buzzwords almost guaranteed Silicon Valley tech bros tossed money in your face and at what point in time were they applicable?

Mandatory drafts for young people who come from families with more than $5m net worth.

Also known as the “no exception for yuppies” clause.

Come on, Thad. GTF off TikTok and your libertarian forums. You’re going to be dragging tractor tires up a mountain with a rope.

The world: fuck American football. Embrace baseball. LETS GOOOO!!

That is of course the excuse Putin wants everyone to swallow, but no matter how bad NATO has been and how that whole paradigm probably should be reimagined, one cannot ignore the decades of reporting, first hand accounts and witnesses of what’s going on in the various oblasts and republics of Russia, and I’m not just talking about Siberia.

It’s this idea that all westerners are stupid and disconnected enough to not know, but we have ex-pat Russians, Belarusians, Lithuanians, Moldovans, Polish, etc, etc.

This was never about NATO. That is a scapegoat. It is the resurgence of Russian emperialism, the classic KGB subversion and purile egomanic vanity. If they wanted Ukraine away from NATO, they could’ve instead relied on soft diplomacy and probably even have gotten there. This was as all about taking sovereign territory from another nation state for strategic purposes, by any means necessary.

Now consider Ukrainians, knowing all this, because again, they are not stupid neither, would they just lay down knowing fully well what will happen to their country?

Mf, they stay in this - for the survival of their culture and history, because cultural genocide will be just the first in a long line of atrocities that lie in wait if they should lose.

I put my chips on the Ukrainians, even that they become one of these perpetual conflict countries. But hopefully not. Hopefully they’ll take back the east and also Crimea and maybe even shake up the power dynamics in Russia for the better.

Uh, yeah, the thing about that? Russia wants concessions Ukraine will not give. It would also embolden the Duma and quite frankly they deserve all the L’s they can get.
