Neither Iraq war nor Afghanistan benefited the US, they were both colossal wastes of national resources for little gain, beginning a period of imperial decline. Korea I'm not as familiar with but Vietnam is now a bi-word for a pointless quagmire.

This is a violation of trump's gag order since it's just johnson acting as a ventriloquist's dummy for trump, so the speaker can shore up support on his right.

Honestly, this country had more humanity when the mafia ran it than today’s Wall Street reptiles.

Monsanto execs have a higher body count than many war criminals who set out to commit genocide, for example.

I always thought of romney as the republican's plan C. If White Supremacy fails, and More White Supremacy fails, then they might try Quieter White Supremacy.

As long as you remember to turn off the lights.

an 8 hour PowerPoint presentation on light switch waste awareness.

You don't need an 8 hour PowerPoint. Instead try the best ad I've ever seen. It's from legendary estonian animator Priit Pärn:

Yeah, everyone dreams multiple times every night. I'm sure these days most people mean 'don't remember dreams' when they say 'don't dream', but when I grew up so many people honestly thought they did not dream and wouldn't believe me when I tried to explain how that's biologically impossible.

You mean people are discussing a contentious news item that you posted?

This is the UN, not Hamas.

The article suggests that the change is due to using figures from the Gaza Health Ministry - which is still part of the Hamas-run government - rather than Hamas' Media Office, which is also Hamas.

It's a bit rich to suggest that the IDF killing 5000 women and 8000 children is the result of Hamas, rather than the IDF.

No way. You want someone who's so obviously an idiot that his face alone selects out anyone with critical reasoning faculties.

Being a deepfake used to find rubes willing to give over money to an obvious scam is the platonic ideal of elon musk. Bravo, grifters. Bravo.

Biden... lately

I would say that all empires have always prioritized their interests over human life. I don't think Biden or Lately come into it.

In my family we always end this kind of recitation of woe with "and I wanted to see a snake".

We saw a kid have a meltdown at an animal refuge when the meet-a-surprise-reptile was a blue tongue lizard. He wailed that he was tired, hungry, hot and - most of all - he wanted to see a snake.

As long as india is part of the quad and helping to contain china, modi can kill as many muslims and sikhs as he wants without US interference. And he knows it.

Hey Ester, since miles has your bag, are you now Bag Hitch Ester?

A milkshake will work too.

That reading of the character makes sense and jives with how I connect with games I play. I'll keep it in mind when I go back for a male playthrough - gonna have to romance panam eventually. Agreed choom!

Oh yeah, that's a great point. I admit I stalled out of my male playthrough like 1/4 through, but for sure the voice acting felt lacking compared to female V, who really does a fantastic and job and sells every situation flawlessly. Now that you've mentioned it, it seems so obvious that that's a huge part of the why female V is better.

But Hamas won, they completely control the 'unity' government and Fatah have vastly less power. If divide and conquer was the goal Netanyahu would have been funneling resources to Fatah and not Hamas. But he has consistently empowered Hamas because the international community can't accept a Hamas-led state.

I have 50+ hours and only minor graphic glitches. A couple dead bodies standing up, the odd piece of floating loot. Nothing that seriously detracts from the experience.

I'm 3/4s through my second playthrough and appreciating it more and more. Haven't picked up the expansion yet either.

I found it hits much harder with a female character. The Johnny Silverhand situation especially felt much more... metaphorically resonant? And Jackie feels more rogue-with-a-heart-of-gold when his best buddy is a woman.

Quickhacks are OP but felt correctly haxx0r, mantis blades are super fun. I enjoyed the combat well enough. Cars are meh, but it's cyberpunk so if you're not riding a futuristic bike ala Akira you're doing it wrong. And wiping out on a bike is great.

The characterisation and world building are what really shine. I was reluctant to play the corpo background but it really makes the story sing.
