Frankly it is. It's a shame you've deluded yourself into believing otherwise.

Delusion is not the answer to doom and pessimism. You prepare for the worst, you hope for the best, and you keep doing the best you can with the things you have. But you sure as fuck do not delude yourself.

There's a difference between optimism and delusion

Optimism is good

Delusion is not

The optimistic view is that's the worst that happens.

Your mistake is assuming the actual definition of "a fair way" and what Trump means by it are not so far apart from each other it's not even funny.

For him the "fair way" for Ukraine is for them to submit and lick Putin's boot, and have their eastern regions subjected to the full scale cultural genocide already in effect.

For him the "fair way" for Palestine is naked ethnic cleansing and genocide.

So yeah, it would in fact not be awesome for those things to happen.

E: grammar

Yeah I'm sure I'd probably be using chatgpt these days if I were still in school instead of paying the frankly stupid amount Chegg cost.

I imagine it varies quite a bit depending on the subject and who's doing the answers. There were 3 or 4 answer authors that I learned to recognize as consistently quite good in the areas I needed it in.

Not really. It's a godsend for long bus/train/plane/whatever rides to be able to have dozens of old quality AAA games in your pocket. A controller very easily fits in a backpack, and there's plenty that'll fit in a pocket.

I guess I had a much different experience with Chegg than most.

For a handful of my classes, it was the only way to consistently get similar problems with worked out solutions. I'm not going to pretend I never was lazy and used it to cheat, but most of my usage was of problems I wasn't assigned so I could see how they were done.

That said, I can't speak as to how they pay the people that actually do the work, that may be a whole can of worms that I really probably should've looked into when I was using it.

I like how one of their points of evidence is a only kinda sort of expensive camper trailer. Yeah, I'm perfectly fine with the people maintaining a public resource like that being able to go on camping trips lmao.

You say that as if the DNCs campaign strategy wasn't to absolutely abandon the left and try to court "moderate republicans", which we very obviously just learned don't actually exist.

From what I understand, it primarily stems from that first stipulation, specifically from points 1 and 4 of the Helsinki Accords

(1) Sovereign equality, respect for the rights inherent in sovereignty (4) Territorial integrity of states

That said, it was very clearly done in a way that didn't actually guarantee that protection, and assuming that the Ukrainians thought otherwise is frankly an insult to their intelligence.

Turns out being a racist shithead is in no way determined by your race or ethnicity.

We can't either

It's fucking infuriating. It's a constant cycle of electing in dipshits that fuck everything up, spending the next 4 years fixing all their bullshit through ballot measures, and then reelecting them.

Every stereotype about us Missourians being idiots is 100% true.
