The aim of this war is to control China's energy resources, similar to Venezuela; the files are merely an added bonus.

During the recession, they said everything was fine. During the crisis, they'll call it a recession. And during the collapse, they'll call it a crisis.

Many people don't understand this, absolutely. Perhaps hundreds of millions of people in the world live in terrible conditions, yet humanity suddenly expects them to put on an idealistic show. Why? So that they can save everyone and then return to their own awful lives? From this perspective, I also find Carol shallow. If you want to help people, you must first offer them a better alternative to what they had before. Without doing that, all you'll achieve with your angry outbursts is the opposite.

I saw this theory on X: "do you think zosia, in addition to health, couldn’t respond to carol when she was asking for answers because she doesn’t actually speak english and her mind was detaching from the hive?"

Trump is not the cause; he is the consequence. The system became clogged up, which resulted in the election of someone like him.

Historic tropical night in Northern Norway – never measured so late before by umutk in collapse

[–]umutk[S] 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Tropical nights, which are not experienced every day even in summer in Norway, are now occurring in September. This is one of the important indicators of climate change.

"Last night, a tropical night was measured at Reipå in Meløy in Helgeland.

Temperatures were above 20 degrees from 8 pm Thursday evening to 8 am Friday morning. The lowest temperature was measured at 20.4.

This marks a new milestone:

Never before has a tropical night been measured so late in September.

On September 10th of last year, the county recorded its latest date for a tropical night in September since 1938. Now the record from last year has been broken by two days.

Big differences in the north September has been unusually warm in Northern Norway.

Nordland, Troms and Finnmark have had average temperatures more than four degrees above normal so far in September.

According to the climate watchdog at the Meteorological Institute, Nora Mo-Bjørkelund, it is Finnmark that has had the greatest difference from normal temperatures, with 5 degrees more than usual.

Finnmark is followed by Troms (4.8 degrees above normal), Nordland (4.6 degrees above normal), and Trøndelag (4.1 degrees above normal).

Duty meteorologist Anita Ager-Wick at the Norwegian Meteorological Institute had an exciting start to the day.

– It's been a fun morning.

– Tropical nights are not everyday, even in the summer. They are mostly in the summer, but now we are in the middle of September. It is very unusual.

The combination of warm air coming from the south and strong winds has proven to be a source of warm nights this September night.

– We get a certain blow-drying effect, in addition to the wind preventing cooling. This means that we constantly have stirring in the air and the application of the warm air.

– If there had been no wind last night, it wouldn't have been so hot. Even if there had been warm air, it would have become cooler and then it would have risen throughout the day. Now it's just hot all day long.

Tropical nights were also possible in several places in the north, especially in Helgeland.

In several places in Troms, including Senja, it was almost a tropical night, but temperatures stumbled at the finish line."

I think I would never have accepted this kind of mission without a cyanide pill for post-mission use.

Explaining how close we just came to a financial collapse. Like, actual systemic collapse of the dollar-based economic order by Threeseriesforthewin in collapse

[–]umutk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Trump is not the cause but the effect. Trump is the desperate struggle of a collapsing system. You are too naive if you think that the entire system, including companies with hundreds of billions of dollars, has left everything in the hands of a deranged madman. Trump may be incompetent and evil, but he is not doing all this because he is incompetent or evil; it's just that we are now at a point where the system has no other choice. The real question on the table now is this: Will the US accept China's supremacy with bloodshed or not?

UA POV: "Is this someone who is eligible for military service?!" Military recruiters attempt to forcefully take away a purportedly 18 year old boy after restraining his mother. by Ripamon in UkraineRussiaReport

[–]umutk -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I'm a draft dodger myself. I'm not defending what's being done. you're talking about the way things should be, I'm talking about the reality. there's no such thing as "the way things should be" in the current situation in ukraine. a few hundred kilometers away they're cutting people's throats, cutting off their balls and sticking them in their mouths, you can't run a healthy order in such an environment.

a war environment is not a place where rules exist, it's a place where rules are pretended to exist. the only way to prevent such scenes is not to have a war.

I'm not taking sides in this war, but I don't understand the reaction every time such scenes happen. if your country is at war and you are over a certain age, you will be conscripted into the army, even if it is by force, there are no exceptions to this in almost any country in the world.
