I know Russia and China have recently made a big deal about getting along, I wonder if they've coordinated with each other so that China invades Taiwan while simultaneously Russia invades Ukraine.

Probably not tho :)

Plot twist: Russia invades Taiwan and China invades Ukraine, so Putin and Xi have the best Christmas presents for each other next year. Everyone else will be sooooo jealous.

Russia is going to invade Taiwan, and China will take Ukraine. It’s the perfect way to carry out the invasions for each other, because they each have a foolproof alibi.

Maybe the absolute lack of meaningful response after they annex Ukraine will finally convince them that NATO is irrelevant.

I think it was either SMBC or XKCD that did a strip said that scientists should never be famous or popular because it'll drive them mad with power.

Why can't we have a positive take on this? If it was possible to store the energy it would take to accelerate a sleigh laden with presents for the ~2b children to each of their homes every Christmas, we could probably solve climate change. Take that piece of coal and shove it.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

I hate these people
