Can you give the specific, Nazi actions or policies Ukraine has placed on it's people. I'm not a huge expert on Ukrainian politics. But say if someone were to ask me what nazi like things the US is doing, I'd be able to say

Making threats to attack neighboring countries (Canada, Greenland, Panema), directly attacking other countries like Venuzuala and Iran. Putting people in camps, raising the police state, canceling citizenship of american citizens, prosecuting journalists, Restricting rights for LGBT.

I can make a long list for Russia and Isreal as well.

So educate me, as far as I can see Ukrain seemed to keep to it's self pretty well. I've not really heard any examples of extreme authoritarianism or attacking journalists, or finding an outgroup to persecute.. or anything to imply they had any intent of threatening any of their neighboring countries.

But then what leverage would horrible jobs have to prevent you from quitting if you weren't worried of starving? and where is the money to start more wars and fund failing nations like argentina going to come from if we spend all our taxes helping the american people

I mean, VR has happened, and been happening for like a decade... is what's not happening that it hasn't replaecd every system and been the only or even primary method of gaming... no. Is it mark zuckerbergs "metaverse" where we start working from home, by wanting to go into a VR virtual workspace or hold our productivity meetings in VR... no obviously not.

Is it a viable option of gaming, along with mobile phone games, PC games, Console games, and portable console games, yes it has a place there right now.

Yup... bottom line reading something critically, expecting it to be what everyone told you it was... and paying attention to discover it as the opposite.

In some cases something you thought was profound, turns out to be bullshit, fluff or just horrific.

Or in other cases something you thought was nonsense... turns out to be right about everything, down to it's predictions of the horrible directions capitalism/imperealism would lead to, looking around and going, shit he predicted it almost perfectly.

Ironically the opposite also can happen. I became an atheist by buckling down and reading the bible to shore up my faith to prepare for a morality disagreement with my parents...

Only made it to god giving permissions to have slaves in exodus when I stopped and asked myself... wait I'm looking to this guy for my ideal morals?

All basic needs met just for existing!, Being a domesticated animal actually does seem like it beats the hell out of wild life...

Course I suppose it depends on what animal what context. Obviously a workhorse, or any food animals would be pretty horrific. I'd imagine though zoo animals, pets, etc... would be pretty superior lifes than even humans carve out for themselves.

While yeah also an insane horror movie plot if "when they turn 40, they walk into that barn and never come out".

Honestly can you imagine how weird domestication must be to wild animals... Like just imagine driving down into a back roads area... noting some large ugly creature there... then seeing a small luxury area but still completely foreign to you, and inside it are people. You approach and be "Hey who are you? want to come to society", and they are like "nah long as we do these weird tasks we don't understand for these random other creatures, they feed us and let us sleep on these comfy beds... were cool man".

Researchers spend $X to find out if poison kills microbes.
