Good. I'm no friend of the PRC, but bowing to US coercion is no future worth having.

The Polish Home Army was instrumental in enabling the uprising.

Who wants to bet that this attack had little-to-no military objective, and is just murdering civilians because Trump thinks that will make him look 'tough'.

Could be true, but I wouldn't trust anything this administration says. Especially not on China at a point in time when the administration is shitting their pants in impotent fury that China has dared to not sit back and take exceptional tariffs without comment or reaction.

China accuses US of launching 'advanced' cyberattacks, names alleged NSA agents in c/world@quokk.au
[–] PugJesus@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago

I can certainly imagine us doing it to certain key economic targets, but with layers of deniability. Not that such a thing is morally right, but I can see US intelligence pulling such a thing if they thought it had commensurate returns.

On the other hand, "Blatantly poking China just after Trump gets into office" has the administration's filthy and incompetent cheeto handprints all over it.

Doing so would be reckless and have minimal, if any, returns on issues of national security.

In other words, I absolutely believe this administration is capable of having done what China is accusing us of.

This is why I tell people that "They have to feel the pain!" isn't a solution.

I have no problem with these cretins suffering, but it will never convince any appreciable number of them.

It's incredibly irresponsible to tell the truth if it makes China look bad. Zelenskyy is going to get banned from .ml now 😔

Relaxing is so nice, holy shit (lemmy.world)
 

Normal people can just DO this without medication? I can sit here and listen to music without feeling the need to be hyper-tensed and aware of everything around me? Why does my heartbeat feel calm? Why am I not on edge?

I was recently reading a book on sanitation conditions in Stalinist Russia, and it made me think about how many 'normal' things I take for granted in my day-to-day life that simply were not the norm for the majority of human history. I guess this is the reverse - something which other people take for granted, but I've only just received, and it's like the Holy Grail in my hands.

Weird how counterintuitive some stimulant effects are when you have ADHD (lemmy.world)
 

I started taking stimulants a month ago for ADHD, and wow. I mean, some of the effects were expected - the increased alertness, the focus, the slight uptick in motivation (I haven't experienced the full 'GO GO TAKE CARE OF NORMAL THINGS' burst that some friends and online folk have had, but I've had a little motivation boost, and I'm grateful for every little bit).

But the counterintuitive effects? That I sleep easier and better now than I have in years? That my temper is much reduced because it doesn't bang at my head like a jackhammer? That I can sit down and relax, because my focus isn't darting to every little distraction? That I can listen to people talk without wanting to bash my head in because listening is idleness and idleness drove me crazy? The exact opposite of things that I would have expected from taking a stimulant, before I learned that I had ADHD and got put on them?

First 24 hours of being medicated and... wow. (lemmy.world)
 

Fuck. Was I always supposed to be able to get to sleep inside of ten minutes? What do you mean my attention is supposed to be like a searchlight that follows my eyes, and I'm not supposed to look through things? Why are all these objects in a pile distinct entities? I thought I had to use the 'search' function to return random loot from the pile? Why aren't these random background noises filling me with a steady, seething rage?
