How about we just settle this over a game of battlebots and no one else needs to get hurt.

Bro. Seriously. Guys. Listen.

Battle bots but with military budgets.

Fuck, yeah - that's certainly worth a try.

Televising shit from Adviika (?) really isn't working, currently

Imagine BEING a military robot with super speed and senses and stuff!!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

No, they'd have nukes. Slash their budget by 99% then just make them do battle bots. It'll still be the best show and save lives and maybe we can also give teachers and healthcare workers decent wages and pensions too.

Well yeah, may as well. The people who start wars are never risking their lives. Maybe it should be a game of battlebots between the leaders and the leader who loses dies?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 9 months ago

That works from the aggressor, but the defender would often risk their lives to defend their home. Especially if the aggressor is likely to push a huge cultural value shift.

Russian might still kill over a game of chess.
