id be fine with the IDF, Hamas and Hezbollah all wiping each other out to a man, but I know that one side’s got infinitely more firepower in this game…

anyway. its clear to me Israel is just using this wartime emergency powers time… to A - keep Bibi out of jail, obviously, but B - Steal, Destroy, Occupy, and Kill as much as they can while the iron is hot. Im frankly surprised they convinced Hezbollah to a ceasefire and its held as long as it did, because Israel doesn’t show any intention of stopping its war state anytime soon.

at this point the media and internet is mostly dominated by republican sympathetic sycophants, its going to be incredibly hard for the democrats to ever win again. they’re going to do everything in their power to move the peices to secure the GOP’s control indefinetely, so that even once Trump is dead, they’ll still win the elections. because guess what, people are fickle, petty, and stupid. and its very easy to use the media, TV Internet or otherwise, to sway opinions.

I am not blind that this is likely just as much Foreign involvement as it is domestic action. Russia is pulling a lot of the puppet strings behind this movement. So much so that I think they even have leverage on not just Trump, but probably Elon Musk too. Elon is small potatoes compared to the wealth of Vladimir Putin, a man who stole from a cartoonishly wealthy in material country for 25 years and put it straight into his pockets.

should have replaced CSI NY with Blue Bloods, same message, same city.

So what happens when dementia finally takes its toll, and Vova stops listening to Winnie?

smarter choice to attack elon, trump wont be with us that much longer in the grand scheme of things. good chance he passes in office. one way or another

Lobbyists throwing money at politicians with no limits - yeah go back to what I said earlier about America being a lost cause.

I bought an older VR set from my boss at the time, played Alyx and Blade&Sorcery for a week or two. dont get me wrong, VR is awesome. but its a toy. an expensive, gimmicky toy . the fun passes after a while and soon enough you end up putting it on the shelf.

My money is on VR related toys again. I have a slightly better feeling about HL3 than I have had in years but I’m old enough to know better

I also, don’t care anymore. As far as I’m concerned the industry is getting ready to crash. I’m divesting a lot from. It.

Forget about what men are reading. Kids as younf as 12 are getting politically charged. And being praised for it

America is a lost cause. But maybe the rest of the world should be reminded that businessmen and oligarchs from other countries screaming on the internet have no affect on law.

Bloodthirsty nuts want a license to be able to shoot and kill things legally, to the surprise of no one

Money stopped caring about Nature a long time ago.

its a highway robbery situation too. because dental issues can be life ruining, in the sense that you are basically in a permanaent irratiable bad mood because of irritation and pain. people are desperate for care and unable to get it.

The UN is a corrupt authority. Especially when it comes to the UNSC. 2 of its 5 permanent members legal entities ceased to exist and fundamentally different successor states assumed their place.

The case is far more aggregious with the USSR and Russia. Ukraine tried to sue in 2022 arguing russia wasn’t legally entitled to just assume the USSRs position as far as the security council was concerned. “Technically Kazakhstan was the last state of the Soviet union. Etc”. But ultimately. As expected. “Realists” didn’t want to hear the argument. And it went nowhere

Trump represents overt corporate oligarchy taking over America. Those people don’t care as long as they live comfortably. The US is building chip factories in the southwest to replace TSMC for domestic use. Once thats completed. Corpos don’t care about Russians and Chinese carving out spheres of influence across the world and killing millions. They only care about their own hides and the last reason to care about overseas affairs would have become redundant.

And this is the same scenario where millions of Americans are thrown into abject poverty by the deliberate crashing of the economy as technofascist corpos like Elon musk are allowed to shape the economy to their designs.

Once again. Those corporate only care about their own kind. Everyone else is expendable assets. Whether it be lower and middle class american citizens. Or entire countries. Panama. Canada. Mexico. Ukraine. Taiwan. You can’t appeal to the morals and nature of corporate oligarchs because they’d rather kill you for wasting their time.

China hasn’t fought an interstate war in decades. The last well known example was korea. All the other fights they had were with the soviets from 1950 to present. And they lost every one of those border wars

China is very very inexperienced when push comes to shove.

The free world is being torn to peices by the Russian Mafia and its American Oligarch allies.

the people who matter, love it.

read “shareholders”

before I joined the company I work for, the sales manager pushed those kind of subprime loans that you’re suggesting with the old woman story. the business suffered a reputaiton hit locally, and sometime before I joined, the nuclear option was excised, basically the entire department was fired. New people brought in or promoted, and now its actually quite nice.

If I didnt say so before, I dont sell cars and have no intention of doing so, most of my job revolves around updating and being a contact point for customers who’ve already made orders for stuff not already on hand. doing motor vehicle registry paperwork, and managing the website. Its a fucking job. Thats it
