Totally agreed, but the anti-America pedant in me feels the need to point something out. That thing being that amerikkka pays lip service to the UN definition of WMD. America has a weapon in every category that the UN covers. Despite that, America falls back on him having chemical weapons. He did have those, ask Iran. That being said, America has them. Russia has them, and damn near every actually powerful nation has them. It’s a loose definition. Nobody gives a fuck about chlorine artillery shells, but it is generally agreed upon if we choose to use UN definition(which America fails on literally every count despite using as a cudgel) that those count as WMD.

It’s not logical or consistently applied. It’s a weapon of the liberal rules based order against “upstarts”.

He did have them, under a specific and hypocritical definition of having “not ok to use” weapons that are inaccurately called WMD. A radiation ray that only targets the pentagon would count as a WMD despite being specifically targeted. It’s a bogus premise hiding behind the general consensus that indiscriminate assault is bad (which it is, for the most part). The definition is flawed.

The ai gf/bf subs are losing their shit.

Edited TLDR: sometimes the human deserved the violence from the member of the other species.

Modern society just uses civil law to coerce the animals owner into killing any animal (treated as property under the law) because of lawsuits. If there was a legit trial with public defenders and whatnot, a lot less innocent dogs would get killed.

Witness: Yes your honor, little jimmy kicked the shit out of a passing by pug who then bit him.

Public defender: as you can see it was self defense the dogs part and there was no crime.

Reasonable jury: little jimmy is a little shit, the dog did nothing wrong.

Without trials it goes like this:

Shitty parent: your dog bit my precious angel! Put it down or I’ll sue.

Not once does whether or not the animal was justified get taken into account.

Ignore the dog brain, but most human with non-human under an humans care interactions that would go to trial apply to dogs. Try hard enough and you’ll find a parallel path for llamas or something.

It takes more than a day to recover, so Monday you is still going to be impacted by the decision you make tonight be it for better or worse.

Sincerely, an insomniac that learned this the hard way.

It varies. In Victoria you assume the role of the spirit of the nation. In crusader kings you occupy the role of the dynasty. so on and so forth

His legal team would be a very plausible explanation as well. It checks a lot of boxes in appealing as broadly and mildly as possible.

Not the person you responded to, but having the read the books the show is enjoyable. It barely tries to adapt anything from the books, but the little easter eggs show at least somebody in the writers room is familiar with the source material.

You basically know the end of the main narrative by the midway point of the book. It’s how the character got there that’s missing.

He also did a fundraiser with a stretch goal to get a chapter released. He never released (wrote?) it despite exceeding the amount for fair bit. I won’t say scammed since it was for charity, but a “fuck you” version of the third book would be fitting given the track record.

I feel you comrade. I’ve worked the night and day shift of a few jobs. Being nightshift is basically a second class for all. Nothing in the way society is structured accounts for us.

We aren’t ready for the American Sulla yet, but it’s seemingly inevitable at this point.

I have no idea, but it would have been a 2020 to mid 2021 episode. It was a riff while trying to guess what a startup was.

Trash future predicted this.

As a communist in the USA, it’s weirdly affirming how both USSR citizens and now red book users both experience a shock in learning the reality of living in the west. The former tragic because it was caused by transitioning to it, but this time it’s vaguely warm. There is no threat, just exposure.

I saw a post where people were shocked to learn that ambulance costs weren’t government propaganda. I know the app trends bougie and liberal in the mainland, but maybe that’s good given the current context? They are being exposed to the reality of America rather than the RFA version.

Yeah, in my experience most psychiatrists are too stable to get it and misdiagnose at least once if you haven’t figured it out yet for yourself based off all the malpractice the last one did.

Side note: can we not put jokes in the CW? It defeats the purpose to overly obfuscate the content being warned of. Just say self- harm or something similar that gets the message across without making the cw a puzzle box that contains a trigger word.

Out of curiosity, what is good about DC except the museums?

Trained and funded them as well. Almost as if it served the long term goals of empire or something.

Ah yes, the poor people who couldn’t achieve enough enlightenment to choose their incarnation are totally to blame for being born in Florida.

Fuck off with this goofy shit. Sins of the father is dumb as fuck and even the monotheists realized this a long time ago.

Thank you for explaining and providing a link.

They’ll never achieve sapience, chairman Daou is the exception that proves the rule.
