- Comment on Not promoting violence or anything. But stupid quest since Iran has an 80 million bounty on Trumps head. If someone would follow thru do they just go to Iran and be like pay up? Why or why not? 1 week ago:
I think if you were like a handler, close to the deed but not likely to immediately go down, and that the hit was obviously a hit, and it generated the kind of story Iran could package to their benefit, then they would pay you.
Don’t be a spastic killer, don’t leave any questions, get a clean kill and get out, and I’d imagine most countries would pay up. If it works once they’ll want it to work again.
- Comment on If you can’t discriminate based on age, how are there 55+ neighborhoods? 1 week ago:
It’s definitely more federal than something like our roads. Fair Housing is a civil rights era law that is federal, and HOPA is a modification to those older laws. I don’t know how a state would break that, or if it’s reasonably possible.
All I meant by the white neighborhood thing is to say that contradictions in laws only matter if you challenge them, and it’s unlikely people will want to “fix” this law when it’s aimed at helping old people, especially ones who are sick or close to death.

- Comment on If you can’t discriminate based on age, how are there 55+ neighborhoods? 2 weeks ago:
There’s a law called HOPA that says it’s legal. You can have white only neighborhoods if you have the laws, until someone challenges them, changes them, etc. There’s a specific allowance for old people and nobody wants to take it away enough to have changed it.

Left, right, the political compass… It’s Fischer Price See n Say Politics.
It’s hard looking at messy clades and freaky species and fitting them into the slots you learned as a kid.
- Comment on Coffeezilla does a third part of his CS:GO gambling expose...where he squarely puts the blame on Valve 3 weeks ago:
I’ve heard more stories about CSGO over the years compared to other gambling games, but never heard people criticize the game like they do FIFA. It’s just my corner of the world, where Valve is a holy corporation.

“The Jews are trying to replace us.” ?
Orban / the party in charge were saying Soros was using his money and power to flood Romania with immigrants.

The world doesn’t revolve around America, but you’ll see idiots in Bumbfuck, Romania talking about Soros and wokeism. It’s got to be exhausting.

- Comment on Feds released close up pic of the drones! 4 weeks ago:
Sounds like hysteria though, with the way it’s written.
The articles do not include the statement from our military saying that everything is normal. (But they do have the “here’s a bunch of scary stuff, we reached out but didn’t get a comment, story is breaking will update”)
They include quotes that if you look carefully seem to fit both stories; there’s a crazy drone thing happening, and nothing out of the ordinary is happening.
A warning about drones. A base closing for 4 hours. Things you expect to happen in day to day life, but also do a great job of freaking people out when you string the data points together just so.
I had to dig to find how many drone incidents with military bases we’ve had per year. Because that isn’t common info. Really, really important information. The first thing you would report, probably.
But it’s not in any of these articles lol

- Comment on Feds released close up pic of the drones! 4 weeks ago:
I found two things about drones and military bases
-
Drone spotting went viral and it led to reports of drones around military bases, freaking people out. However the military stated this is normal activity and that this stuff has been happening for years.
-
Reports of drones over 17 bases near Chinese business owned farmland. A scary sounding story about communist China spying on our bases. But drones over / near bases isn’t rare and the army alone has like 100 bases in the country.
And the military can shoot down and disable drones in their airspace. Apparently their main problem is things falling outside their jurisdiction and then local police being shit.

- Comment on 2024 Steam Awards Nominees Announced 5 weeks ago:
I’m surprised to see ED brought up. They gave up console players and won’t even push token updates, like when they balanced engineers for PC players to reduce the crazy grinding. Tried to get back into it but I guess it’s now a legacy game and Frontier straight up bailed.
The game isn’t shut down though. I can still buy their MTX stuff. That’s got to count against them.

The first notes you hear after entering the castle are etched into my memory. Even when running the game later as an adult those notes can still affect me.

In the lore they say god is good and make it clear that the god exists within history itself. The unraveling of events is god executing El Plan. So anything that happens is god, and god is good itself, so everything must actually be good in the end.
And since the god explicitly gave the humans a mandate on their morality, they can’t just emulate the god literally. They have to act in their prescribed way, and trust in El Plan.

When people comment about my weight I just turn it back on them. I’m not anxious about my weight so it’s easy to just be like, “You look like you’re eating enough for both of us!”

Ignore Hamas. Read the infamous report from the US that was used by Israel as evidence they weren’t committing genocide. The report cleared Israel, and so it was used as a defense.
But actually read the report.
According to the US / Israel, they’re holding up food, making it difficult to access, making it get stuck in transit, making it get lost, making zero effort to facilitate / distribute, making it dangerous for people to solve it themselves, etc.
But they never triggered the video game-like definition of genocide. They didn’t use god-like powers to absolutely withhold food. They didn’t declare “I’m doing a genocide.” Technically some people could eat sometimes, and some pencil pusher can’t change definitions on the fly, therefore no genocide.
That’s the good version of what Israel is doing, as per their allies / their own mouth. Not genocide according to some definition, just genocide as everyone else would understand it.
