@ugiswrong Worst advice ever, as if people aren't trying hard enough already anyways. As long as employers keep being complete and utter arseholes, there will always be some left in the dust that will never get a chance anywhere. (I'm having the same issue with a bunch of unfixable health problems like being 97% blind and having degenerative spinal cord things going on - but it's typical for people to blatantly judge without knowing $#!+)

My first thought was that Russia could potentially break that route and piss Europe off a lot at the cost of pissing off China as well though which is why they have to make the piss off China part less dramatic and not cease their "strategic partnership". Luckily, China does need the West for their own economy to boom.

@jesonchase2233 I can only confirm, mankind truly doesn't know what friendship is. Türkiye knows about their geopolitical position and they try hard not to piss either side off while trying to also work in their own interests, but it's always a tightrope dance with seemingly no stable ground on either end.

I've only ever seen old men chop trees, but never ever anyone planting some. And that's totally one of the biggest reasons we're in a climate crysis. Pumping out CO2 is one thing, destroying nature that can turn it back into O2 is the other. Probably the biggest arseholes in that regard currently alive are the Orange Man and Bolsonaro (currently hiding his ass in Florida, hint hint).
