The scientist in me says that there's not enough evidence to reach this conclusion.

Well, I mean shit - we all get it wrong sometimes. The world is a complicated place, and the worst thing you can do is pretend that you're infallible. I've been wrong before, and I'll be wrong again (probably many, many times). Best I can do is try to learn from it and do better next time.

Thank you for the historical context. I was not aware of his previous stance on the issue, and I ended up putting my foot in my mouth because of it. My impression from the article was that his criticisms avoided moral issues, but that clearly isn't the case when you consider the entirety of them.

I like how his criticisms have to do with the fact that Russia's army leadership is deeply incompetent, and how the economy is suffering, and doesn't even mention the fact that more than a million people have died so far, probably about the same number have been injured, and several million people have fled their country (either to avoid participating in the war, or because their homes were invaded). It seems that he doesn't care about the fact that Putin started the most ruinous war since WWII based on nothing more than lies and propaganda; he just cares that he's executing the war badly. Might be criticizing the leadership, but still a fucking orc through and through.

Oscar winning cinematography.

Edit: for real, though, you should watch the movie. It's incredible. Very funny, very sweet, and it features Michelle Yeoh, James Hong, and Ke Huy Quan. In fact, it marked Ke's return to movies after a 20 year hiatus (he plays Short Round in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, btw).

Reminds me of that scene in "Everything Everywhere All At Once".

I love the smell of barbecued xenos in the morning. It smells like... glory to the emperor!

And yet, if someone were to shoot him as an enemy combatant, they'd be prosecuted for murder. Curious.

"Hey, citizens, we're out of money thanks to our ruinous, idiotic, 4-year-long invasion of Ukraine. Instead of holding our military and executive to account for our stupid, fascistic foreign wars (oops, I mean foreign military exercises!), we're going to create laws that put extra scrutiny on your transactions. Hope you don't mind!"

According to one of the stories my mother loves to tell my romantic partners, I pissed in a hamper one night while sleep walking when I was 7. Apparently, she woke up when I started wondering aloud where the hell the flusher was.

Welcome to the culture war I guess, Calibri. God, this timeline is dumb.
