Why stop emphasizing right before a very critical point that is obvious:

which would come at great cost to economically devastated Lebanon.

Hezbollah is not in a position to benefit from any altercations. It is why they aren’t being the aggressor. There’s just Israeli offensives taking place. Remember Israel is still also doing the same things in the West Bank they’ve been doing.

The absolute and incredible disparity of capabilities cannot be ignored. They aren’t justification of any, but justified damnation for those in power and control.

RIP Taiwanese electronic device export economy.

She is playing a post-Trump game and knows a looming power vacuum when she sees one.

It is interesting how easily the article passes off ‘stacking courts’ as more of a danger with elections than appointments.

The thing to remember is that internet and cellular service wasn’t available everywhere. I had to talk 10 minutes to a hill to get service to be able to make a cellular phone call. Most internet options required landline phones and wifi was barely off the ground for most consumers.

Media was something we extracted from the internet. Now the internet is something we have to extract ourselves from.

Nneeeeiiigh.

Haspil resigned a year later but continued to steal money, even after Saleh discovered the theft and let Haspil repay him over two years to avoid criminal prosecution.

Well that didn’t work out.

The crunchwrap supreme and burrito supreme I think encompasses the whole menu of flavor from Taco Bell.

But for me, who remembers multiple tacos for 99 cents from Taco Bell: their basic and unmodified tacos with hot sauce is the only thing I need from Taco Bell.

Unfortunately this person did not have a western sounding name so there’s going to be even less attention than Rachel’s murder received.

Saudi wasn’t investing billions in a social media platform.

Saudi was spending billions to have a social media platform killed.

A few wooden stakes, a roll of chicken wire, an AR-15, and an overwatching IDF sniper or armored vehicle. That’s your settler starter pack.

Eventually you get to “Maybe next holiday.” Which turns into “Maybe next vacation.”

And then you realize you’re burning PTO on various crisises than a vacation will never come.

So that’s developing into “Maybe if I am lucky to retire…”

It is really quite something how Obama almost categorically opted to give up without a fight on virtually every issue. He had to be dragged across the finish line for the ACA and was trying to kill the public option before Lieberman even took that charge up.

The backroom politics of the Obama years should have primed anyone for what came after.

I see this sentiment a whole lot. Unless you were like, one of the few thousand people in a swing district in a swing state, that vote, for/against/thirdparty/nonvote likely had zero impact. Tens of millions of voters have their votes dumpstered because of thr electoral college. California Trump voters and Tennessee Democrats, alike.

Unless you know your vote would’ve swung your district and also your state, do not sweat having put faith in a camp. Besides it is about policy, not people or party.

If someone is focused on people or party at the expense of any policy? You’re probably not dealing with strong leftist sentiment to begin with.

A kinder, gentler mass deportation and border militarization is pretty on point with the bipartisan border plan being touted.

Castle of the Winds

Now that’s a game name I haven’t heard or thought of in probably 30 years. Damn. I may have to spend my weekend on that now.

They use ‘loaded words’ so they are ‘mixed’!

I was happy to ignore it until the threads about it came up and the people/person running the bot demonstrated they weren’t really going to listen to negative feedback. MBFC isn’t accurate on political bias, but it is accurate on reporting whether a source is well known/reliable. The bot maker doesn’t seem to care much about that. That’s probably why people prefer to downvote it so much now.

And, uh, I wouldn’t read any of my text here in ‘upset’. That’s just being silly.

When a venture capital enterprise founded on incorporating AI into the news injects itself into every thread people are going to have a problem and not just to block or ignore.

Goddamn he is so fuckin’ old.
