This is so fucking true. My pupils were blown the fuck up and I had 500$ of mdma in my pocket at a gas station. I had a friendly as fuck conversation at 2am with a cop in a dirty wet suit while we were waiting in line. I don’t remember much from those days but that one stands out. Better to be profiled as an awkward nerd than a criminal.

>time for NATO to seriously get involved

You mean with troops on the ground? that's the last thing the World needs, a nuclear war with grave consequences for the entire planet.

NATO is already involved militarily. Just the US contribution alone all aid pledged so far exceeds $110 billion, and according to Summit News and ZeroHedge "US Military Aid To Ukraine Exceeds The Costs Of Afghanistan".

Hundreds of millions of people may be dumber than rocks conspiracy theory lunatics, but the way the world at large handled COVID was simply amazing.

We went from nothing to super safe, space-age mRNA vaccines in 1.5 years. We substantially shut down major global economies and many industries transitioned the way they work practically overnight. We made reasonable, evidence-based choices about healthcare and personal protection, and people mostly abided.

Humans are poorly prepared for everything and only ever do anything when it's an emergency, but we've got good hustle and we get it done.
