I got Ted (played by John Ritter) by the way who I remember as Buffy's dad for an episode.

I'm thinking I can use this opportunity to help Buffy slay him.. then comfort Buffy's mother and move in on that action instead.

you eat it.

When I want mine to eat dry kibble I keep a hairbrush handy. Again.. weird.. but if I brush my cat while he is eating instant purring and he devours the food until I stop.

mine was weird with canned food.. but then I found out he loves if I add water to it and microwave it for 7 to 10 seconds.

now every time it is breakfast or dinner he will saunter over to the food dish and vacuum it up.

China is building up and not without any reason:

We live in interesting times and should enjoy every day.

lol... don't these places hate China?

There are no absolutes and they absolutely love importing Chinese products.

As long as USA has good relations with those countries and can keep them, as you say hating China, it manages the threat.

If Russia launched nukes today then they would only do so if China nukes Japan and India too.

South Korea can be a ground war by unleashing North Korea and supporting their attacks with Chinese bombers and air carrier.

Yes. USA has been very good at managing global politics but the last few presidents have muddied the waters.

I feel that the USA must continue maintain very solid relationships with India, Japan, and South Korea to manage China by the numbers:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_level_of_military_equipment

But certainly Russia, China, and others are leveraging their own global politics to erode those relationships.

and these:

https://nypost.com/2022/09/30/china-has-opened-police-stations-in-us-and-canada-to-monitor-chinese-citizens-report/

they are playing 3D chess.

stuff like this, as an example, is certainly sanctioned by the CCP and meant to destabilize USA / Canada with crippling addiction and homelessness.

But if they double cross, how is that a Pro Russian thing? Like against the US/NATO...

Sir, you have confused me.

thats the intention of politics ad infinitum.

destabilize other countries and take all the economic benefit for your own. China could patch things up with NATO later or .. if Russias shot does enough damage then team up with other countries and decide their time is now.

China generally prefers to play the long game but they are interested in expanding in the face of climate change.

I don't see why it would. While having Russia as an "ally" is useful for the poopoo bear, just in form of consolidating power.

I can think of lots of reasons.. probably the biggest one that comes to mind is so that Russia thinks they are Chinas ally and can shoot their shot.

Then China double-crosses and annexes large sections of Russian territory.

China could still team up with Russia.

If they were going to the first thing they would do is convince everyone else they arent going to.

Iran.. North Korea.. any countries that see opportunity might just be greedy enough to take what they want.

..isnt that what the USA has been doing for the past 100 years?

I think historians will look back on our current time as actually part of WW III.

how about this stuff?

so.. so depressing. Ugh.

That's supposed to be kind of depressing, no?

It's the vibes I get from it.

OK whats the happiest song you can think of?

I can listen to this and still feel depressed.

what do.

having been to places like Florida Im going to have to side with the OP when they say:

Maybe not in this country but somewhere round the world its probably happening.

:(

also FWIW why in the actual **** are so many people trying to get into cybersecurity right now? Seems like a bunch of schools trying to get paid (to me as a professional).

Like I was waiting for an order at McDonalds a couple weeks ago and I overheard one guy tell another how he was entering a cybersecurity program and that he should join up too, etc.

I chimed in and told them that AI can test for exploits and do most of what they were discussing.

if you have a related BSc as a basis its probably fine but otherwise if no relevant work experience boot camps are a non-hire unless you directly know people at the target company / startup.

why dont you call the IT support line and complain to them.

its people like you that choose to dehumanize others

Yes. This reality .. how is it even?

Out of all the possible times to have lived and the 8,000,000,000 humans on Earth why are you in your specific vessel at this exact point in time? It is completely and utterly improbable and all things being equal solipsism seems most-likely.

Does it not?

not convinced.

apparently its adapting to feed on microplastics too but we arent.

so much respect for the streamers that do these sleep streams they deserve any income they get.

I personally could never sleep with all those lights on.. some of them even leave alerts and TTS going which is nuts!! Its very extreme. I think streamers should congregate and formalize the accepted rules for a sleep stream.. maybe try to bid it up as an Olympic sport one day.

Showmount sounds like a platform everyone could get behind

I think fatigue set in 4 or 5 years ago.

Neither I nor any of my circle of friends have any interest in seeing superhero movies.

Paramount+ is getting better.. I originally just got it for their South Park coverage

I notice they have the movie Smile now which is a great addition to the platform!

most people wear them so that nobody tries to talk to them.

no new friends.. no new friends..

imagine being the guy having to make that call. Wow.

Every day something tries to kill me.

Thus far it has failed.

looks like you cut off the elbow because it was too pointy.

lots of caffeine can go through your system quickly.. it is unclean and includes energy drinks and coffee.

I still drink those sometimes for the ride but a more level experience may be found with green tea.. particularly jasmine.

My cat is 17 now and some days I hope I die before him so that he do me the privilege of gnawing on my face before anyone finds the body.

Otherwise I hope when his time comes he may pass from this world purring on my lap.. if we do at the vet then yes I will honour him by holding his paw, cremating his vessel, and scattering the ashes around the world.

the bees are dying. Last year one out of every two bees died.

yes but only if it had an Austin Powers cameo.

Suddenly all those RPG character creators that let you make really unrealistic, hideous looking characters are starting to make sense to me.

game devs never seem to be able to get the teeth right.

cost of living where they live is different from where you live

We live on a planet. You can afford to fly around the world having fun.

Can they afford to fly to NYC and check out the sites for a weekend?

It. Is. Not. Fair.
