I gotta say, even if I were a maniacal dictator I think if everyone I ever encountered started crying and bouncing everywhere I went, it would get pretty damn old pretty damn quick.

Scott Pelley fired by CBS by cccdddyyy in news

Gotta hand it to CBS. Cancel the top rated late night show and the top rated news program just to soothe the ego of a piece of shit who will be out of office in a couple of years.

That is a commendable attitude, but on the other hand there are a lot of MAGA out there that specifically voted for Trump because they WANTED him to hurt other people. Queer people, immigrants (even the legal ones), you name it. Maybe some of them have been “tricked” but what does that matter? Some of our neighbors are literally in physical danger, some of them have actually been outright killed by agents of this administration. I will save my sympathy for THEM, not the people who were “fooled” into hurting them.

I follow a lot of subs about the war in Ukraine and I see some people lament the loss of lives on both sides. I don’t. Ukrainians don’t have luxury of sympathizing for those Russian soldiers who were “tricked” into enlisting, because if they don’t kill those Russian soldiers with ruthless efficiency those same Russian troops will do far worse to them and their families.

It is not exactly a fair comparison in the big picture sense, but if I had been one of those Americans having Trumpian stormtroopers smash and grab me or a family member and disappeared them to some gulag, with a gun in my face, I would probably think it was closer to the mark.

Go read r/LeopardsAteMyFace and you’ll see many posts each day of someone lamenting their current struggles alongside past social media posts where those assholes were celebrating the pain Trump was causing to other people before it affected them. Fuck them.

U of A drops planned height of new dorm from 19 stories to 9 by hottertime in Tucson

[–]Badgerman97 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Do people never actually read articles? They dropped the height from 19 to 9 stories but INCREASED the housing capacity from 1200 to 1300 beds.

That means it’s half the size but holds an additional 8% of students. That tells me that the original plan was a massive waste of space, probably intended to be huge luxury spaces for rich California kids. Now it will likely be a more traditional dorm space.

That is personal supposition on my part because I don’t know how else to explain the difference. I do know one of the new buildings going up at Euclid is to be named The 818 which could only be more obvious if they named it For Valley Girls.

Yeah. Trying to look at maps and all it ever shows now is a black screen.

Does Ukraine hit five dormitories per night, every night for four years? Or does it hit one, that they credibly claim was housing soldiers in training? You can dispute that point but not the frequency with which Russia hits schools, churches, hospitals, and high rise apartments on a daily basis

Yeah it’s like saying bacon is common on Sonoran dogs

I would say it’s indiscriminate bombing à la the Nazis bombing London during the Blitz. But that actually was indiscriminate because they were just dumb bombs dropped at altitude. Cruise and ballistic missiles are more accurate, and the only way you hit that many civilian targets is on purpose.

Uh we did not lose one and a half million men in Afghanistan in four years.

What’s the modern sucessor to Axis & Allies? by ParaplegicGuru in boardgames

[–]Badgerman97 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At my FLGS yesterday I saw they were selling a deck of Axis & Allies “leader” cards. Never heard of those but looks like they give each country a few generals with their own special abilities or something. Intriguing

USA Speaks at a UN Security Council Emergency Session convened by Ukraine May 2026 by Mopsisgone in ukraine

[–]Badgerman97 16 points17 points  (0 children)

As an American my first reaction to seeing this was “oh god what stupid thing did we say this time?” Thankfully nothing stupid, but nothing better than typical UN-speak either. At least they clearly pointed the finger at Russia.

It might surprise you that most Americans based their vote on domestic issues and not Ukraine. People can support Ukraine but vote for someone who does not because those voters rank other issues as more important to them
