  • And Democrats.


    Randomly selected from over 9,000 applicants, the MICRC is comprised of 13 citizens from across the state of Michigan. They include four people who affiliate with the Democratic party, five Independents who do not affiliate with either major party, and four who affiliate with the Republican party.

    I actually voted for this measure and remember people collecting signatures because they were fed up with each party taking turns nuking the district allocation each time they were the majority and happened to catch the decade census.

    At the risk of potentially doxxing myself, here is one such before and after of a voting district:

    (before)

    (after)

  • Trying to imagine a dude rip a metal sign and eat the small text portion lol

  • Sometimes I wish No Man's Sky and Elite Dangerous would combine their talents into one game just to get Star Citizen to shut up permanently.

    Each one could use features from the other. Add in a dynamic user controlled economy, and suddenly everything SC has been promising after wasting hundreds millions of dollars would be right there.

    As much crap Frontier gets, they made a killer custom game engine which perfectly makes it hugely immersive from day one, which shouldn't be surprising considering the original Elite was the first proper wireframe 3D graphics game.

    Hello Games got a proper roasting for releasing a shell game, but they actually bounced back. Their planet generation and surface gameplay is unmatched, and their updates outshine Frontier's.

    ED started out as a crowdfund too, and No Man's Sky as essentially a startup. Both of these game's received their fair share of criticism, but ultimately they produced a solid 4/5 game. Meanwhile Scam Citizen has been bankrolling for 12 years now, yet they hardly seem to receive the same level of criticism as ED ans NMS got for comparatively much much smaller issues.

    It is noted for being one of the highest-funded crowdfunding projects, having raised over US$700 million as of May 2024

    wth

  • Depends. I've reccomened this before too, but I keep both world and ml "World News" communities because even though they're defederated, having both seems to encompass a better range of sources and topics.

  • This statement may have actually beaten Biden's record of his red line comment only lasting a week considering it's only been 24 hours and there's a potential leak of Israel's attack plan on Iran, with assistance by yours truly USCC.

  • I believe they rely on oil from Venezuela.

    Which if iirc got the same treatment as Iran for not falling in line lol.

    So I guess you could technically say it was indirect sanctions.

  • It would be funny if it ended up being like the discord leak again.

    Just some dude in the DoD who wants to talk shit online lmao.

    Still you might have a point. The president wouldn't want to ruin their relationship right as elections are happening, so deliberately leaking the plans to cause a delay would be a smart move. Though I can't imagine Netanyahu would care that much. I feel like he'd still go ahead with the plan even if Iran was able to get bonus prepare intel.

  • I wanna see someone make a GPU accelerated game in assembly.

    Just throw the Vulkan and DX12 C APIs in the garbage and do it all yourself lol.

  • Fake Qurans

    This wouldn't work for the exact reason you just pointed out, the fake would be dead obvious even down to a letter. There is only one Quran that probably hundreds of millions of people have memorized, and it would be fairly easy even for an outsider to verify a fake.

    Moreover this is a dumb take considering the real reason the middle east is violent is because of the plethora of vassal states courtesy of Uncle Sam.

    Even insane Iran is just a US vassal state that happened to backfire because the locals got wise after their democratically elected leader was couped in operation Ajax.

    • Egypt is a US shill under Sisi, who also couped the previous democratically elected leader
    • Iraq is a pacified US shill state
    • KSA, UAE, Oman, Qatar, and Kuwait are oil suppliers that get protected by the US military, so they each have an inhumane monarchy of former desert bedouins
    • Israel is the military buyback outpost
    • Jordan is an Israeli shill state (so by extension the US)
    • Syria is actually the only Russian shill
    • Lebanon is just a proxy zone between Israel, Syria, and Iran
    • Yemen is split in half by already explained oil shills and the Houthis which is their resistance/insurgency group

    Anyways, not exactly fake but I remember reading a Mark Twain "book" that took snippets from several stories instead of just the whole thing for each one, so a lot of it lacked proper context which was really annoying. It could have easily fit them in, so no idea if it was trying to censor something or was made as like a sample guide for writing.

  • I mean it was the NSA that sat on eternal blue for something like 10 years.

    And just seeing the defaults on Active Directory would make anyone believe they pay Microsoft to keep windows insecure.

    Can't wait to run NSA SElinux on a Chinese OEM RISC-V machine in the future.

    Double the security

    ...

    Or maybe double the backdoors lmao

  • Pakistan will happily sell the info and tech you need, you just gotta bribe the right people lol.

    That's how Iran and NK allegedly got their start.

    Just make sure the US doesn't get wise or you'll get regime changed.

  • You'd have to pay KSA double their oil money to take Palestine.

    Probably better luck convincing Egypt or Iraq to take if we're actually gonna go down this utterly stupid route.

    Also Hamas doesn't even have proper C&C. On top of the reality thay this isn't a videogame, practically nothing will change.

  • Permanently Deleted

  • Fantastic, if we go by the standards of OBL, Israel might actually decide to leave Gaza by the year 2033.

    Of course that's based off the assumption Israel's goals in Gaza are the same as the USA in Afghanistan, which last I checked, there was never a US led genocide in Afghanistan.

  • After that student got arrested in the EU for making a joke in his Snapchat group of friends before boarding a flight, I've always wanted to see someone do exactly this experiment to check which messaging apps are actually E2E secure lol.

    It'd be interesting to try a phone call group too.

  • I would like to take this moment to mention that both India and Pakistan are nuclear armed powers.

    Who cares about the people when you got nukes amirite

  • I like how the senator is the only one who mentioned palestinians and the house speaker only cares about bombing Iran (insert song here) lol

  • Sometimes I wonder if Egyptians debate if they'd rather live in the past as a slave for the pharaoh or live in the present as a slave for Sisi lol.

  • OBL hid in a personal mansion for 10 years only 100 miles away from Pakistan Military Academy

    Mullah Omar hid in a tunnel only 3 miles away from Base Wolverine lol.

    I think it was probably a bit of both. They knew he was in the north, but not much more. I presume their intel gathering fell apart after the infrastructure collapsed.
