    To forgive is not to forget, and forgiving is an act you do for yourself. Holding that anger and hate inside you isn’t healthy, so forgiving them releases you of that burden.

    Having forgiven them, you can still tell them to go fuck themselves with a rake for hurting you or betraying your trust.

    One bad act will undo years of good will, we see this constantly irl. Why do you think the mods deserve any benefit of the doubt from people when they unilaterally chose to make a bad decision with no input from the community? If the community can’t trust them to act in their best interests, they’re absolutely well within their rights to demand they step down or move to the replacement community. Because of they’re going to do this once, what are the odds they actually learn the correct lesson and don’t do this kind of shit again?



  • How many NATO soldiers have experience fighting a full-scale war on their territory against an enemy with similar technological and production capabilities?

    I’m not sure, but since this is the Russian-Ukraine conflict we’re talking about, we don’t have to worry about one showing up. Russia is barely a near peer to Ukraine, they wouldn’t stand a snowballs chance in hell against more than one country at a time without their nukes, let alone NATO as a whole.

    Nukes are literally the only thing that lets Russia pretend they’re still a superpower and not a failed state. But as we can see in Ukraine, they can’t even beat a former client state and has to resort to bringing our cold war era equipment, so double lol at “similar capabilities”

    My son (diagnosed with the tsim but too young for his inevitable adhd diagnosis) gets very disregulated after eating items high in sugar or after having too much screen time. No clue why, he just becomes a little asshole and takes his energy out on the people and animals around him. Thankfully the screen time issue has gone down from “any” to more than 20-30 minutes so he can occasionally watch educational kids programming.

    Count yourself lucky you don’t have to deal with that. It’s maddening at the best of times, especially when all the experts we talk to say we’re already doing everything they recommended…
