forgot that their data centers are very few and super concentrated near Moscow

No-no-no-no, that's not the funny part. The funny part is Russia outlawed companies hosting data outside of Russia, so Russian companies can't even choose a data center outside of Russia. 5 years ago the impact of Ukraine's drone strike wouldn't have been as lethal as it is right now

They made the entire economy into a handful of sitting ducks and then started a campaign of bombing Ukraine's data centers

These people are imbeciles. Like I'm not hyperbolizing it, they are not just morons, they are developmentally challenged

I mean it's over a century of negative selection. So I guess everything checks out. But every time something like this happens I just... If I had an ounce of that power and influence, I would've been evil far more efficiently. And I imagine most people I know would've been too. Are we actually lucky that the monsters are so cartoonishly dumb?

Yes, I also think we are lucky that evil attitudes also tend to correlate with dumb/selfish/shortsighted attitudes.

We're not going to improve things by relying on luck, though.

I know it was supposed to be an insult/joke but vodka consumption has been in decline in 2000s and 2010s. And then 22 happened... But yeah, a lot of FAD, and you can literally see it
