Foolishness in the digital world has less disuasive power than irl. Flips the script a little bit, which is why people are willing to invest in it as a tool of actual power. Qanon demonstrated this. Now kids are getting measles.

NOW Ukraine finally gets some Gripens, right?
If I remember right, they've had a handful of Ukrainians training on them for awhile, and it'll probably be a lot harder to muck up shipments of Sweden's in-house fighter jet that they have unilateral authority to give.
Would be a nice notch of national prestige for the Swedes, having Swedish-made jets getting to Ukraine first.
Can we not find a source for the news that isn't owned by an East Asian religious cult since 2018?
All that headline accomplished for me is getting Miley Cyrus stuck in my head... :/
If someone can't see how our world can get this messed up without some shadowy cabal of global controllers, they're a simpleton.
The world is not a tv show plotline.
Like most propaganda, it has both truth and gross exaggeration in it.
The true part is the asylum process does get abused, which results in extremely long wait-times for asylum requests, and an overall stressing of the system.
The false parts are the normal Fox News propaganda lines. Way more of them than there actually are, it's an "invasion", they want to replace you, etc etc etc. Be afraid, be afraid, be afraid. Oh, and give our guys money.
It's complicated.
Yeah, I get you. Just remember though, they're trying to take us back in history.
Some people just see humans, all humans, as just another random member of the animal kingdom. Just clumps of cells doing a thing. These people usually end of believing in power, and nothing else.
You know all those villainous chars from films, books, etc? Those attitudes are not limited to fiction. They're inspired by our real life history, that's what we grew up from. Some people want to go back.
Of the listed options, the french press is the most forgiving imo. I imagine its the total immersion style and very coarse grind.
There's a shitload of selection bias at play there. When we do prepare for something and actually successfully prevent it, your brain won't remember it for you, unless you try really hard.
So, it's almost impossible to just figure out how well we prepare, using some kind of sniff test. Our human brains just royally suck at that specific kind of analysis.
By way of example, Biden's recent investment into port security. If a problem never occurs now, are you going to give him a point for that, or just never really consider it again?
This is partly why the scientific method needs to be so strict, slow and rigorous to get anywhere.
Trump is against arming Ukraine. Biden is for arming Ukraine.
Having an absolute like "never" makes it a weak principle that will inevitably be false sometimes.
