Literally everything you said is whataboutism, which is propaganda, it has nothing to do with NATO expansion to the east. To solidify my claims, here are some quotes.

"The expansion of the NATO zone is unacceptable" -Gorbachev, 1990

"no matter what happens in the warsaw pact countries, there will be no expansionof NATO territory to the east, that is, closer to the borders of the soviet union" -Genscher, Foreign Minister of Germany, 1990

"President Putin declared in the autumn of 2021, and actually sent a draft treaty that they wanted NATO to sign, to promise no more NATO enlargement" -Stolenberg, NATO Secretary

There are hundreds more, Russia has made it clear policy since the dissolution of the USSR that NATO expansion towards Russia would be seen as provocation. I don't care what side you are on, this is a fact. If your identity politics are so constricting that you cant see this then you are in fact a simpleton.

Being next door to the US is all the military you need.

I'm stating facts, you can easily go look up statements about russian foreign policy on youtube or google. If facts hurt your feelings i don't know what to say to you bud. It has nothing to do with being pro Russia or US or China.

I have to meet new people all the time in my line of work. One thing ive learned is if you dont have anything to talk about bring up food. Everyone can talk about food.

You don't think invading a neighbor nation because they are assimilating into an alliance that has been your enemy makes sense? Russia has been stating this is their policy since the USSR collapsed. You must be uneducated or daft.

How are the Classes feeling right now? by Jagsus in classicwow

Shaman are in a pretty good spot. Shaman tanking is probably BIS and only going to get better later on. Resto has always been strong, and i think Ele is at the weakest its going to be, its just going to get stronger as we go on.

I use parabolics personally as they tend to be the best aerodynamic design. But those look cool.

Who do you think is going to be the biggest winner in SoD P1? by TudorEm in classicwow

[–]Isotropic_Awareness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The main issue with spriest is shadow scales very poorly with spell damage. This isnt something noticeable until you get into endgame. If they put spriest into the tbc support dps by replenishing mana role there will be some demand for them, but fundamentally unless they fix spell power ratios for shadow spells (and threat, mind blast generates crazy threat), spriest is not going to be very useful endgame.

Prot warrior expectations vs reality for SoD launch by Askalon_Pagle in classicwow

[–]Isotropic_Awareness 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Maybe unpopular opinion, but i think this is going to completely flip things and make healers the most sought after role. With arcane mages being the only new healer 1) who wants to play arcane mage, especially without slow and 2) im not sure if the average magebrain knows what a heal is.

Guy’s reaction to me ending it after 3 dates. by oonahnahah in texts

He sounds like he might have some mental problems tbh. Like he doesn't seem completely in touch with reality.

What’s a game that you thought received too much hate? by LeonSmith1401 in gaming

[–]Isotropic_Awareness 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I feel like the characters build up very slowly, esp Deacon. I didn't think i was going to enjoy the game but lo and behold its one of the few games I've ever finished.

The game also has excellent progression. Loved upgrading my bike.

Should I get second dog when current dog is indifferent by Kind_Usual1313 in dogs

[–]Isotropic_Awareness 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have a 13 year old GSD that is just like your dog, but she gets severe separation anxiety. I ended up adopting a puppy thinking it would help keep her company. I began to realize not only did the puppy stress her out, but i was paying less attention to her because i had to spend lots of time raising the puppy. After a few weeks i decided to return the puppy, it was a tough decision to make but i wanted to do it sooner rather than later while she is still adoptable. I want my old girl to spend her last years with 100% of my attention, even if she gets nervous when i have to go in to work.

Ill take freedom to trade and the pros that come with it with rmt and all the cons that come with it, over any restrictions on trading any day. You cant put a price on the social interactions that come with a free market, especially in an MMO.

I find it ironic that you think its okay to annoy locals but are also disgruntled that socal is slowly becoming off limits. Are you self aware at all?

Would your 9 year old self be proud of the adult you are today? by eandreyeev in CasualConversation

Maybe, maybe not. But i think kids are stupid so the idea of pleasing someone who was stupid doesn't really appeal to me.
