No, I'm not. "Justified" suggests a positive moral element, which I've repeatedly negated. Both sides are morally culpable for the current situation. ...
I've characterized Putin as a rat, which gives you an indication of how I judge his moral standing, so I'm not cutting him any slack there. But both N...
Their intentions are almost irrelevant seeing as integrating Ukraine shifts the balance of power in the region in their favour and effectively increas...
If it counts as sedition over there now to state that Putin is smart (compared to your leaders, not a very high bar) then the American system certainl...
Both sides are defending a narrow set of interests. NATO is defending its “right” to expansion up to Russia’s borders and Russia is defending its “rig...
Friendly banter is one thing but considering your general adversarial tone towards ssu, this seems more like part of a pattern of ad-homs. So, stop it...
Russia can now say it upheld its commitment not to invade Ukraine when it invades and occupies the "independent" territories it just invented. Neat. A...
It's not virtue signalling to object to some of the comments in this thread. Whether any of them break the rules is another issue and something we're ...
Isn't the right wing's fave slogan "No taxation without representation"? But when attempts are made to give minority demographics' representation, the...

Oh, and I'm using this site as a substitute for a prompt book: https://thestoryshack.com/tools/writing-prompt-generator/?v=1 (E.g. Write ... a story i...
It would depend. Anything could work in the right context. It's really been working for me. I hadn't written flash fiction for years and struggled lat...

Or... You know when you see a werewolf riding a motorbike, it’s going to be an interesting day. OK, so it’s a costume. Sue me. We’ve barely reduced th...
