  • Well think about it from the Flatlander’s perspective! They can’t even perceive the cylindrical shape of their space. They wouldn’t be able to go behind the cylinder from their perspective, all they could do is go forward far enough that the shape of space hides them.

    It’s not just semantics imo, cuz it would apply to us as well. If you’re ever confronted with a 4th dimensional being then the only way you can hide is to get far enough away. You can’t see the curvature of spacetime so that’s useless for you.







  • I’m not “giving up”, I simply recognize the situation for what it is. I’m a realist, not a delusionist. Our situation is fucked either way, and the only choice we have is laid out plainly in front of us. We have the option of bad, or worse. I know what I’m choosing.

    You are giving up, regardless of your reasoning. You think good things are impossible and we should just settle for less bad things.

    This only guarantees that the worst outcome becomes inevitable. You create a shield for Democrats to hide behind that allows them to ignore calls from their base, which in turn obliterates voter enthusiasm and participation. When no one shows up to vote for your cynical candidates you have no one but yourself to blame.

    You need to join us in forrcing the Democratic Party to listen to constituents or Republicans are going to win.











  • Interesting. How about a counter-offer? Russia gets the fuck off the Ukraine, pays reparations, and maybe in a decade or so of being nice the rest of the world starts trading with them.

    The rest of the world is trading with them. It’s just the NATO bloc that has cut them off, which is now bifurcating the global economy. It’s one of the main reasons for inflation all throughout the West, because our currencies are now not being used by a growing segment of the world economy.

    Your counteroffer isn’t happening and if we keep this up things will only get worse. We can’t dictate terms. We have to negotiate.

    Ukraine has/had an imperfect government, that doesn’t mean they deserve to be invaded.

    Ukraine had a pro-Western revolution/coup that removed Russian allies and replaced them with NATO allies. It doesn’t matter if they “deserve” to be invaded (I don’t think they deserved it, for the record), Russia merely did what was in it’s geopolitical interests.

    Fuck Putin and fuck his supporters and fuck anyone who both sides this crap.

    Deeply unserious. 😔
