Yeah, this is great. We're going to (illegally) invade Mexico ane Venezuela simultaneously, while also occupying our own cities that don't go along the paramilitary immigration Gestapo. Oh, and we're also waging chaotic, impulsive trade wars with literally every country on Earth. Maybe we can get a ground war going in Russia as well, really speed run the imperial collapse.
Don't forget Nigeria! You know, the oil rich African country with 60 million military aged (18-35) men.
There's so much terrible news all the time, I legitimately don't know if we've threatened to attack Nigeria or not
He has.
Well, fuck.

I feel this. I want to play a game and check out, but I sliced the fuck out of left index finger a few days ago...
Why? No dont do that!! Keep having hope and taking action. We are all winning together. Dont sacrifice your ability to game!
Read more goodgoodgood.co (Their article on tstudy of hope is a game chamger when you make that your main focus) and goodnewsnetwork as RSS Feeds

Dont give up mate. Strength in Unity. Join communities in-person and online to not be alone. Also get active with others and get others to do too. Everystate has people getting others mobilized and every bit helps!
You don't need that finger for gran Turismo...
Good point! I haven't played 6 in a while.
Wait till you upgrade to 7... GT sport was a decent stopgap, but 7 is so good I'm having trouble believing they can improve on it. The game is very serious but swaps can make it funny as hell. You can put the legendary 2jz Supra engine into a Yaris, a Chiron 1500 HP W16 into a Corvette, the Hellcat engine into a 1942 Willy's jeep, there's a lot of ridiculous fun to be had with engine swaps. You can even put a Porsche 911 engine into a VW bus. Good luck winning any races with some of these swaps, but it certainly is funny!
You've got to find a way to check out a little. If you try to stay in top of this shit 24/7 you'll have a breakdown. A little time to focus on something, anything, that gives you joy is important.
At least we know that imdex finger is out of fucks.
Throw in a land war in Asia
Classic blunder
