    I’ve thought about moving out of America but global warming seems primed to kill us all by slowly pressuring us to death or near death without aliens coming down here to lay down the law in a way we can’t ignore. We’re all fucked, whether sooner or later. As much as I would want to live in Europe or Southeast Asia, I would feel about Russia or China like I did about Trump in 2022, that the peace is only temporary.

        The US may affect the whole world less next year if everyone else works hard to find alternate markets, but it’s going to take longer than that for the rest of the world to totally detangle themselves from our mess.

      Negatively. By stealing and hoarding resources? By destabilizing world politics? By driving and supporting war across the globe? Most earthlings are unaffected by these things directly. America is not that important.

      Lmao this hits home, my caffeine intake has slowly been creeping up on me cause of my job and commute, I have like five or so double shot Americanos a day now.

      Which still isn’t all that bad, like 650mg a day of caffeine. Above the FDA rec limit but lower than a lot of these people I see sucking down bangs all day

        America’s best export is suffering. Right now we call them tarrifs.

        Thanks to closing down USAid, we gave up soft power.

        A coalition of the willing, ready to make the world safe for Democracy, like 80 years ago.

    It’s all fun and games watching the crazy people do crazy things across the pond until you remember the crazy people have nukes and the biggest idiot of them all has the launch codes. Sleep well tonight!

      The funny thing is that statistically, there’s a 43% chance that you’re living in one of the other 8 countries with nuclear warheads lol.

      Try sleeping just north of them.

      (edit: also the “launch codes” for most of the time they existed where just set to all zeros.)

    How I sleep knowing that 90% of my genuine reddit opinions result in fire that can melt steel beams in world trade center.

    Meanwhile my mere presence at the holy sites of Jerusalem or even in means of transportation has similar effect. Honestly maybe I would trade this talent away for something more useful because no-one even wants to pay me for it.

    It takes zero conscious effort on my part too. So I would be getting some good passive income like this. If you want someone pissed off hire me and I will push all the right buttons
