Try to keep the chatter contained here, folks.

Comment if you were here when the Russians dropped a bomb on our servers in Kiev. WE'RE BACK IN ACTION BABY!

Make sure to report comments that're overboard or sus.

      I completely get you. It's a very strange feeling, and I can't imagine what that must've been like for people during WW2. Maybe you were in one of those few regions of Europe where there wasn't any fighting and you're just going to work like normal except the newspapers talk about this apocalyptic meatgrinder happening barely a few hundred miles from you.

      I felt like absolute shit in the opening salvos of the George Floyd uprising in late May/early June. Literally couldn't sleep, eat or do anything except doomscroll powerlessly for hours on end feeling sick with worry. I don't want this to get any worse than it already is, but we all know how that works, don't we?

      Last time I felt this way was when I had to text my boss, “hey gonna be a couple min late, roads closed due to school shooting down the street”

      yeah, we've managed to hit the most boring kind of apocalypse where everything's going to shit within a century but we also have to go to work

        The only material impact this will have on your day to day life is higher gas prices for a while.

        RIP my Facebook feed, can't wait for like 6 months of chud vs lib nonsense

        Although it's pretty fucking funny when the chuds driving F-250s in the suburbs complain about gas prices...like you chose this life my dude, maybe don't buy a $70k pickup with a 50 gallon gas tank if you don't need to use the bed more than once every two years.

      it just doesnt feel real because its too stupid to be real. nation state territorial dispute in 20 fucking 22 when anyone who has done enough thinking to make it to this website is acutely aware that modelling society on the basis of competing nation states can only spell planetary suicide

        Yea saw someone on Reddit say they were Ukrainian and were still going into work today. Insane to me. Time to rewatch hypernomalization I guess

          That's one of the most depressing aspects of this. Imagine your country gets invaded but your city didn't get shelled yet so your boss still expects you to come to work at the spreadsheet factory. :doomjak:

      Yeah I get what you mean. I’m gonna be at work today doing the same shit. People might be like, “y’all here bout Russia and Ukraine” but mostly nothing.
