I’m asking Western liberals for consistency. I remember that even a Russian tree was banned from some tree contest in Europe.

She served in the Israeli occupation forces. Would you watch a movie with a Russian actor who served in the military?
Israel is guilty of genocide, and illegally occupies Palestinian, Syrian and Lebanese lands.
- Comment on Nintendo ‘warned to expect 145% tariff on Nintendo Switch 2’ 2 days ago:
I think gamers are more reactionary than average. Gamers gave us Gamergate which eventually gave us Trump.
- Comment on Am I going crazy, or has people's spelling gotten awful lately? 2 days ago:
No you aren’t getting crazy. I stopped double checking my spelling after Trump became president the first time. Clearly most people don’t mind bad spelling so why bother?
- Comment on Nintendo ‘warned to expect 145% tariff on Nintendo Switch 2’ 2 days ago:
Only 4.125% of the world population is affected. No biggy.

It depends on how you define the city, here’s my source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_largest_cities
- Comment on Why is there steam coming out of the streets in New York 1 week ago:
I’m going to have to interject, NYC is the 11th largest city.
- Comment on Ubisoft says you "cannot complain" it shut down The Crew because you never actually owned it, and you weren't "deceived" by the lack of an offline version 1 week ago:
If buying isn’t owning then sharing isn’t stealing…
By principle I avoid “online required” games.
- Comment on How likely is it that Trump will be the first President assassinated since Kennedy? 1 week ago:
Martyrdom is an honour that Trump doesn’t deserve. If we are lucky, he will die in prison of old age.

The worst thing about that Onion article was the abuse of the Arabic script, otherwise a timeless piece of prescient satire.

While it is not the point, I am curious if his colleague is white or not. Is ICE targeting all foreigners or just the non-white-Europeans?
- Comment on Why aren't there mass protests in the USA? 3 weeks ago:
Some states also have laws that allow drivers to run over protesters
- Comment on Anon is waiting for Japan 3 weeks ago:
The Plaza Accord happened. Japan was also demonized in media and politics like China is now.

My most played game in my Steam library is Senran Kagura Shinovi Versus which came out in 2013.
- Comment on Do you think the US will actually log its national parks? 5 weeks ago:
No you aren’t overreacting. Republicans have been running on some version of this for decades now.

If an automatic is good enough for the 70 Series Land Cruiser, it is good enough for me.
- Comment on You guys have to end it 1 month ago:
I actually like the volume knob shifter. The buttons ones I can live without.
- Comment on dear republicans, what's the point of alienating every single ally of the US? 1 month ago:
The Sassanians alienated their Lakhmid allies -forcefully annexed them and slaughtered their ruling dynasty-. Everyone knows what happened to the Sassanians not too long afterwards.
Who knows if history will repeat itself but worth waiting and finding out.
- Comment on fuck this asshole 1 month ago:
Trump is worse I never said otherwise. My point isn’t that Republicans aren’t worse, but that the Democrats failed to live up to expectations of their constituents and helped lead us down this path.
- Comment on fuck this asshole 1 month ago:
I remember when the Democrats brought down the hammer hard on anti-genocide protestors in universities. Trump is doing the same, but expanding it to all protests.

Yes, it is more inclusive.
- Comment on The past 18 months have seen the most rapid change in human written communication ever 1 month ago:
“Touch grass” is exclusionary and divisive. I asked Copilot to explain why.
The expression “touch grass,” often used to suggest someone take a break and reconnect with nature, can unintentionally be exclusionary, especially for people living in arid regions where grass is not readily available. For instance, in parts of the Middle East, where the landscape is predominantly desert, grass is a scarce resource and the idea of “touching grass” might feel disconnected from reality. This phrase overlooks the diverse ways people around the world engage with their environment and can unintentionally alienate those who don’t have easy access to grassy areas. It’s a reminder that language should be mindful of diverse experiences and environments.
- Comment on A funny thing in Iran is how they repackage old PlayStation consoles 1 month ago:
Xenogears is the best game, or at least JRPG, I ever played and I played over 40 JRPGs from the 8bit era to the modern era. There might be a better JRPG out there but I haven’t played it yet.
