My family will rotate Steaming services. We sub for a month or two when we wanna see a show or something, then cancel in favor of something else.

The Iran government are wold-class-bastards and thinking that they’re one iota more trustworthy than Washington or Tel Aviv is madness. If they’re telling the truth, that’s incidental to the truth serving their momentary interest.

If Tehran says water is wet, the sky is blue, or Trump is lying, it’s worthwhile to double-check

Is Israel and Zionism not bad enough in reality that you have to write an Oliver Stone script to jazz it up? Is genocide too boring?

It’s not like the regular numbers behave themselves. Have you ever heard a coherent, non-self referential definition of the number 3?

Has Rand Paul ever gotten a cold? He must have only done so once and now has lifetime immunity.

I remember the time I got the flu. Boy was it awful, but I’m so glad I can’t ever get it again.

This is a false choice between huge lifestyle changes for everyday people and regulating the polluters. Regulating the polluters is going to cause huge lifestyle changes for everyday people.

The idea that any of us get to go on as usual is the main roadblock to meaningful climate action.

You’d think in a war with the same aircraft being used on both sides that the belligerents would invest in some robust IFF.

the historical truth that Russia wins every war of attrition.

You don’t need history to know this is bullshit. Current events are enough to prove this wrong.

A coworker once told me that the Confederacy was doomed because the Union had superior industrial might. I told him that sounds like wisdom in English, but in Vietnamese it’s a joke.

Guns equating to freedom is straight up NRA propaganda. Do we really think people in Australia, the UK, and Japan are oppressed by tyranny?

The 2nd is the only “right” that the lowest government official can execute you for exercising. That’s what passes for freedom in America?

Europeans should be self aware enough to recognize that the most devastating criticism of Trump are direct comparisons to historic European tyrants. And forget about Hitler or Mussolini. Donald Trump at his worst can’t even measure up to Leopold II.

Yes, you can definitely trust the judgement and historical wisdom of a Jewish white supremacist.

I’m confused, why is Google telling customers they can’t use it’s AI? Can they not keep up with demand?

That seems way more interesting a story than Meta relying on a competitor.

I’ve heard that this was a MANPAD and that it was a Pantsir. Do we have any info that would indicate which?

I’m inclined to think Pantsir, because whatever fired that missile was close to the refinery and you’d expect beefier defenses close in. Plus, even the Orks must realize the risk in giving private Conscripavitch a rocket launcher in proximity to thousands of gallons of oil.

The reason chess is a segregated sport is because the male players couldn’t cope emotionally with co-ed.

Not only was their the sex-pest harassment stuff, but men who lost to women would become hysterical, hostile, and aggressive.

Women just needed clam, rational, and stoic people to play with, so they had to exclude men.

I don’t think it’s coherent to suggest I’m overlooking what Trump is doing. People can hold views on multiple things.

I’ve never been taken in by all that laptop nonsense. I try to be understanding of addiction too. But dude had an affair with his brother’s widow; I can’t see past that. No matter how many clever clap-backs on Xwitter.

Viewing justice as the punishment of the guilty is conservatism 101.

The real failure is that no legislation, law-enforcement, or court action has been taken to address why billionaires can snatch little girls off the street. The real failure is that rape is barely even illegal in the US, and it’s viewed as right and proper when powerful men have access to little girls the same way their wealth provides them with access to all rare and desirable objects.

This isn’t because our leaders are sick, it’s because our society is. These men didn’t steal our daughters, we sold them out, cheap. No amount of Presidents in prison will change that.

$300 for a PC speaker? Madness.

As someone from the E coast, Olympic is like someone took a forest and turned it up to 11. I understand the technical term is temperate rain forest, but nothing prepares you for the shear density of life.

Groups of trees in a line are common, like in the 2nd pic. That’s because they grew on a fallen log that has since rotted away. If you leave anything there for a week, shit will be growing out of that too.
