Yep, I’ve got catholic extended family that couldn’t wait for Francis to die. Seems kinda un-catholic, but what do I know?

The Edward poster juxtaposed with the Jedward poster is peak

Sure, the Irani regime absolutely deserves anything coming to them. But the US is the one that killed 110+ little girls in an opening strike during an illegal war.

It would be fantastic to eliminate that 50+ year history and beyond that’s gotten us to this point, but you have to admit, cutting their military funding at this point would be suicidal.

And, the point of the OP demonstrating the hypocrisy while America continues to greenlight the largest military budgets in history still stands, even if it’s a smaller overall percentage of GDP.

If the US military kept their targets to military objectives instead of blowing up schools and medical research facilities (though of course the war would still be entirely illegal) I don’t think they wouldn’t be seeing nearly so much opposition. Not to mention the destruction of infrastructure the whole modern world is reliant on.

Edit:

Actually, on reflection I think budget is the wrong word. We’ve seen modern defensive wars fought extremely economically via drones and guerrilla tactics, so maybe that’s not the right take on my end. However, I don’t believe they’d be able to exert the same control over the region without some investment.

Not to mention, all the money invested in those medical science institutes isn’t exactly a great return on investment after today.

Idk, seems like if they spent less on military they’d be quite a lot less capable of fighting off the current invasions.

It would be great if we could all universally stop spending that money on military at all, though

The point is that you get games on GoG without DRM when buying the same game on steam may have DRM. Just because some games on steam don’t have it doesn’t change this behavior.

Szeth-son-son-Vallano, Truthless of Shinovar, wore white on the day he was to kill a king.

Even if we say I agree with this, why even ask for a specific year? Separate into child and adult, and let the super user make that change when asked.

In theory I’m not opposed to it existing as an option, but I do not like it being mandatory at all. Websites and applications should never be allowed to know any PII without explicit consent.

I think he really just didn’t like the texture. I can’t see the reasoning still, but I’ll admit at the time, his argument swayed me.

One time, while on dispatch for a client, I was stuck on the phone with their ISP. Behind me were all of the company interns, arguing about peanut butter.

It’s always stuck with me for two reasons. 1: One guy was arguing that crunchy peanut butter was like regular peanut butter, but with added wasps. 2: I regret every day that I did not ask the Comcast guy to weigh in over the phone.

I think that’s a brilliant plan. Maybe that’s something that could be built and refined at a local government level, then expanded out? You’ll need to work out a system of responsibility for accurately recording the data.

If you cross a Pomeranian with a Sharpei, you get a Pompeii. Very firey.

In my university class on modern China, we read Imperial Twilight during the section on the opium wars. It’s incredibly readable for such a dense topic, and really goes into all of the build up.

Oh my god the legend dropped another 45 minute long dishwasher video. Unironically stoked.

I’m glad they’re performing as well as they are in a war for survival, but the gamification of killing makes me very uncomfortable.

Now that’s my cat’s job. Never again will I buy a case with a top mounted power button.

The point is that he literally goes by a pronoun, not that it’s a bad show.

While it’s still probably not wholly original, the Odyssey is about 8 centuries older than the Aeneid.

Obviously I can’t remember where, but I recall reading that walking through perceived thresholds can act sort of like clearing your brains “cache”, which is why we often forget what we went into a room for.
