  • As always “The damage was the point” is giving Trump too much credit. He’s not trying to hurt America. He’s more interested in enriching himself than enriching his nation, for sure, but he also sees his fortunes as fundamentally tied to those of America and you can see that clearly in his statements and public actions going back long before his presidential ambitions.

    He wants America to be the greatest, most respected, most powerful country in the world, and he’s doing what he thinks will achieve that.

    It’s not malice; not towards America as a country, anyway. He’s just genuinely, truly, that incompetent and so are the people around him, because he surrounds himself with people who make him feel smart.

    And before you bring it up, yes, he’s a Russian asset. Of course he is. But he’s not the kind of asset you give orders to. They don’t need to. He’s more than capable of doing all the damage they want without any direction.

    As another commenter here beautifully put it, “He’s a fire and forget idiot.”







  • no scientist worth anything would ever make such a moronic claim.

    He didn’t. It would have taken you five seconds to read the excerpt OP posted and notice that the actual quote is “I would estimate the chances are about 49% that the world as we know it will collapse by about 2050.”

    He didn’t say the world will end. He didn’t even say that civilisation will end. He said that the social order we enjoy today could collapse. But rather than take five seconds to notice that, you decided to yell about nothing because it was more important to voice your opinion than it was to check your facts.




  • The airship is what sold me. I’ve wanted ships in Minecraft for as long as I’ve been playing Minecraft, both because it’s cool, and because I think survival games would really benefit from the idea of a mobile base. Being able to take your home with you is such a huge deal and really bridges the gap between the “cosy” and “adventure” aspects of these games.
