Except it’s not like either of the other two wars.

I’d agree with the comparison if, for example, the US attack on Iran immediately brought Russia to war with the US, which triggered Article 5, which got China involved. That sort of domino effect happened the last two times but doesn’t appear to be happening now.

Could it become WWIII? Maybe. But right now it still looks like a regional conflict, and a rather small one at that compared to the first two Iraq wars.

But I’m only 1/3 of the way through the latest Perun video so I reserve the right to change my mind.

‘Member when podcasts were just RSS feeds with MP3 attachments?

Trump reduced the “red tape” to build this so it might just be dangerous on its own

Assuming it comes online in less than a decade and not drastically over budget

I have a close family member in local government and he says it’s the same thing there. Great ideas fail, shitty ideas pass, and you feel bad voting for them but it’s honestly the best we can do.

Until 2021 NYPD cops required 12 pound trigger pulls to prevent accidental discharges, but which also reduced accuracy and led to shooting bystanders.

Now they switched to five pound pulls and their guns start going off randomly?

Evolution does not work that way.

Without selective pressure our brains won’t change, and definitely not on the timescale of thousands of years.

My ninth grade homeroom teacher seemed pretty okay but he kept a fifth of Jack in his desk so maybe that helped

Trump has already been impeached.

Twice.

The last time he was president.

It doesn't matter anymore.

Unless he is actually melting down in a nuclear reaction please stop reporting on this shit.

I only care about him if he's dead.

At 2400 baud and then someone picks up the phone

We could whistle into a phone and get a modem to try to talk to us.

I thought we were the Oregon Trail generation. (‘81)

I bought a Brother printer and an extra large toner cartridge a dozen years ago and it just sits there and prints things without any problems from any device on my WiFi.

So invent a time machine and get a Brother from ten years ago is my advice.

Asking women out is kind of necessary to the process, even if she says no.

The traits that allow a species to achieve global dominance are not compatible with long term survival.

The fact that it ran on a Macintosh meant I could play it on the school computers during study hall.

To defeat the ICE we must become the ICE

No idea. I never liked Doom or Wolfenstein because it was just mindless violence, which gets old quick.

But Marathon had a universe and a story and characters and puzzles AND mindless violence.

Maybe they just let the marketing folks determine what was popular and mimicked that.

Don’t forget the old chestnut “protecting American interests”
