I've not yet seen latest MT and I don't know if I'll see it today. Probably not.
The reason why is the spread of MT lore here. How should I put it... You hype the lore about gods in MT universe like greatest thing ever, but it's shit. It's truly shit. MT would have worked without
So women make up 98% of the job gains in the US in August...
This is a sign that our economy is in bad shape... a Soviet style Potemkin economy, propped up by fake jobs, fake stats, and fake productivity that parasitises the real economy.
The majority of "women's" jobs are not product-producing jobs. A lot exist as auxiliary jobs that are created by quotas and mandates rather than actual corporate need.
The fact that 98% of the gain was in women's jobs is exactly that... most of them are probably the same kind of net-neutral or negative productivity jobs that will harm the economy in the long run.
@oorvi_@cirnosad I'd agree and less than 3 days after peace comes in effect and get the land, I'd just attack ukraine with all conventional weapons and grab more land. Accept more peace negotiations, another peace, repeat until USA itself throws the towel and just stops.
@oorvi_@cirnosad he will. If they offer slavyansk/kramatorsk, I bet the moron will take it... and even worse, he will keep his word not to attack a helpless ukraine while USA and "allies" pivot completely on Iran. Any help to Iran will be limited and undercover, afraid not to anger usa clowns
@dylaxiusMccoy@Nobodily lost in laminate
vastly different than those two, less a game and more of a vn (with limited visuals), but out fem mc "games" I find it the best, by far
furthermore, since USA/UK acted like nujobs, didn''t respect treaties, international norms and all crazy bs will now keep Russia on its toes in case of a "peace" and at the same time receptive to US/Israeli threats regarding Iran.
It is bad for Russia if it accepts any peace now
you don't understand. This is meant to be genuine peace attempt, cause Iran. USA hopes to freeze Ukraine even with terms favorable to Russia in order to focus everything (incl EU through israel) on Iran, Ukraine would be helpless then, but USA bets Cucktin keeps his word.
First the CIA director flies in. He makes threats. He’s told, in so many words, to go fuck himself. Next comes a show of escalation — during which the United States sits quietly in the shadows and gives its European marionettes room to throw a fit, those same marionettes who still sincerely believe they are sovereign. After that, the familiar negotiators arrive.
The West operates by the models of social psychology — universal only in part, because everything they rest on was researched in the West, on Western subjects — and assumes Russia is not all that different and will react according to the patterns and rules they have identified.
With an individual, especially a young one driven into a corner, that might work. With grown people here, with Russian tempering, and still more with a state system made of such people, it does not.
Meanwhile, coercive diplomacy is unfolding in plain sight. Good cop, bad cop. The bad cop has already been here. Now two nice guys — the ones the chebureks in Zaryadye have been waiting for — have landed in Moscow.
The scheme, the hard-power version of the door-in-the-face technique, looks like this in its pure form:
Threat + unacceptable terms → refusal → escalation → negotiators (creating the illusion of an “exit” from a supposedly hopeless situation).
Against the backdrop of pressure already applied, the deal is meant, in the manipulators’ design, to look like their concession and our salvation — not like capitulation from a standing start. And each round, run in cycles, makes that “exit” narrower and more inconvenient.
The key nuance without which the scheme fails: it is not enough for the one making threats to frighten you. He also has to offer a credible guarantee that, if you agree, the pressure will stop and there will be an “honest peace.”
Will the current visit produce any diplomatic movement? Of course not. Talking to Russia from a position of strength is useless. What does a Russian do when the other side starts acting the bull? Either he tries to get rid of the nuisance — or he hits him in the face.
Even if the West wanted to talk differently, it no longer has that option. Today’s militarism and hysteria have cut it off: if it starts that game now, its rabid hangers-on will accuse the ruling elites of betrayal, defeatism, and whatever other sins are known only to them.
The West’s bet on intimidation only kills any desire to talk at all, to hear anything coming from that direction, let alone to listen.
There is little point to what is happening beyond giving Ukraine a few days to regroup during the white gentlemen’s tour, so it can continue state terrorism — “raising the stakes to force peace,” as Kiev’s handlers like to put it.
Genuine question:
If the Lindsay Clancy case has shown us that a woman doesn’t have to be held responsible for murder because of her hormone irregularities, then what does that say about women holding public office or any position of power at all?
