On the development of Morrowind

The Buddhists in Myanmar have been mass murdering Muslims for a decade now.

This is probably retributory violence for those massacres.

Salami Slicing Tactics are actually a very real thing.

It's basically what Russia and China have been doing for decades

I'm a Gen Z'er from the deep south, unions were never mentioned in our education once, neither was the labor movement, my friends learned what a union was from me, and the first time I ever learned of the concept of a union was from Wikipedia.

It's definitely working, way too fucking well.

AIPAC Takes zero money from the Israeli government. there's a massive difference between getting legal campaign donations from a PAC that gets it's money from American citizens, and what Trump did.

For?

Omfg, a D&D campaign where everyone played caricatures of politicians could be super fun.

Thanks lol, started as a name for my healing characters in games. Used to go around saying, "Anyone need some universal healthcare."

Glad to see someone understand how this works.

Normal presidents don't determine what they say or their policy based off mainstream news, let alone sources liable to call it a genocide like TikTok.

They get it from State Department and other executive branch briefings, and if those departments don't classify it as one, then the president won't either.

Yeah idk it certainly is confusing, I have multiple ideas from him wanting it to be more dedicated to the gods than just him, to the inscriptions not having the time to be finished before he died. Just seems weird to me that we have a bunch of Tomb pyramids, and then one that isn't so tomb like but still has a Pharoah inside.

Hopefully this is one of the things we'll find an answer to.

If it was the guy’s tomb, why isn’t his name anywhere? All the other tombs are positively lousy with art. But not this one. The one - graffiti, not official, not sanctioned - name is hidden in the equivalent of a closet and that is in shorthand even?

I don't know a ton about Khufu, but us it possible that he just didn't want as much iconography? I know it's been common for several other cultures (some of Byzantine and Islamic) to not what to have icons or representations of people. Definitely odd, and I'm not sure why almost all of the other pyramids would be tombs and then his wouldn't be.

I just like their foreign and domestic policy.

I think Biden is only about halfway to having humane foreign policy, which definitely isn't enough, and I've said as much several times.

I think Biden is doing better than I expected a liberal president to do, he walked the picket line, the first ever for a president, he's taken the green new deal and weakened it, which isn't enough but more than what I expected, his FTC and NLRB have been great for the working class, he's signed into law more protections for minorities and lgbt people, and then there's the recent rescheduling of cannabis.

He ain't enough, and I want him to do more on both foreign and domestic policy, but he's not a fucking fascist like you've claimed.

While there is probably a large amount of support for Hamas in Gaza, that's completely disregarding all of the people who dont support Hamas and have been forced into silence or murdered by them since 2007.

Israelis don't need to go door-to-door to kill everybody because they're using US supplied weapons and white phosphorus to carpet bomb them.

Disregarding the rest of your comment, just this is dumb enough alone and shows how you feel about the situation.

Israel hasn't been carpet bombing Gaza, Gaza is tiny, Israel has enough weaponry to immediately flatten the entire place tomorrow if they want. What you're saying is incredibly disconnected from reality, and if it was true the casualties would be much much higher by now, almost in the millions.

Israel has been doing targeted strikes, not carpet bombing, even if it doesn't seem like it because they're still murdering thousands of children. When Israel encounters any form of resistance, whether that be an IED, rocket, or small arms fire, they stop, issue an evacuation order for that neighborhood, wait, and then bomb the shit out of it and storm it. The majority of the deaths have come from them not properly notifying an area they were supposed to evacuate before bombing it, or from civilians still being in the area after a proper evacuation order.

This is effectively the exact same thing Russia is doing in Ukraine, still fucking awful, still needs to be stopped immediately, and Biden still isn't doing enough.

But it's not the carpet bombing genocide you claim it to be.

Yep I'm perfectly aware that's the traditional leftist idea of a liberal. I wasn't calling liberals leftists, simply saying that when you call other leftists/communists/socialists liberals just because you dislike their foreign policy takes you're shooting yourself in the foot.

Theres nothing explicitly liberal about zionism, and you can come to either a Zionist or anti-Zionist point of view from leftism, as is obvious from Israel and Palestine both being controlled by socialists for the first 40 years of their history.

I'm not sure the CIA was doing stuff as advanced as Stuxnet in its LSD days when it was supplying Iran.

Though now that you mention it, I'm surprised we've never heard of the CIA doing more things like obscure Stuxnet style sabotage on leaders' aircraft and the like.

Yeahhhh it's the age-old campism of "If it's anti-america, it must be good" I'm so sick of this black and white thinking, we can force the U.S government to do better without praising whoever is doing atrocities in the name of attacking the west.

Oh it'll definitely be something like that.

Right now Israel doesn't care if it kills civilians to get Hamas, and they've had to slow down their attacks several times and scaled things back because of the Biden admin.

If Trump is elected there's literally nothing stopping Israel from just mustard gassing all of Gaza.

"So hear me out, we place a bomb in one of the Hueys and then stop supplying them with new ones, one day their leader will totally get on it and then we got em"

"Yo bill maybe slow down on the company acid please."

Hmmmm the guy everyone thought was gonna be leader next suddenly dies and the son of the current leader is now the heir presumptive... I know nowhere enough about Iranian politics and ik it was a heli crash but this sounds suspicious as hell.
