Why would they entertain peace talks at all? Israel has murdered Iran’s top negotiator, and Trump is obviously compromised by Israel.

No, the smart play here is to just keep the straight closed to American and Israeli traffic and allies while looking for opportunities for their own decapitation strikes.

Once someone else is in power, then negotiations can resume.

Since trump has bombed Iran multiple times during peace talks, Iran is not going to trust Mango Mussolini again.

I feel that more people should know that Gaddafi was a mass child rapist who had a personal corpse freezer.

Also, while NATO and Qatar backed the anti-Gaddafi forces, they didn’t create those forces.

Some of those forces were Gaddafi’s own military, who refused to follow Gaddafi’s order to crack down on protesters.

You coppiced the tree.

You could also pollard a tree, which is just cutting it at a higher level.

Can I have some of whatever you’re smoking?

Two party systems are a consequence of something called Arrow’s Impossibility Theorem, specifically as applied to First Past the Post voting. Which is technically Duverger’s Law

If you want a video instead, this one is a classic.

The names of things rarely have any actual meaning behind them, especially not political names, which were originally chosen to make people think they were patriotic for supporting said party. Or are chosen by the opposition.

But yes, the tensions that caused the war did exist before the shots were fired, that’s how civil wars work. And yes, reconstruction was halted and reversed by Johnson.

But the TLDR, being a defeatist is worse than useless, work towards a better tomorrow today. Also, civil wars, the kind with neighbors shooting neighbors and all, are fucking nightmares. Don’t try to start it all early, it will come all too soon on its own, the fascists will make sure of it.

Lucky the trash bag protected the bin.

My dad was truck driver and as he used to say, always tarp your load.

The fun fact was just that the head contains other stuff than the brain.

The rest was less fun.

A data center without power or AC is not a functional data center, and damage to such systems could cause massive damage inside, all without risk of premature detonation, theoretically speaking.

Fun fact, while the head contains the brain, it also contains a lot of stuff that isn’t the brain.

If a person were to place a gun against the side of their head and get the angle wrong, a bullet could completely miss the brain, while still causing massive damage.

Such cases have been recorded hundreds of times, in quite a few cases, the person in question has remained conscious long enough to reposition and try again.

Ah, someone who doesn’t understand Free Speech.

You’re free to say whatever you want, and we’re free to tell bigots to fuck off, because we’re not required to listen to your bullshit.

Private websites are not required to host your hatred, that’s compelled speech, and is a violation of the First Amendment. Not that conservatives have ever cared about other people’s rights.

Explosives are a bit too dangerous for the average person to play with.

On a completely unrelated note, does anyone else remember those assholes from a few years back that were taking pot shots at power substations?

I’d argue the exact opposite.

The civil war kicked off after the second longest pause to constitutional amendments in history, only topped by the current one.

Just like any other system, you need to keep security patches coming or else malicious actors will step in an wreck everything.

Corpo housing isn’t mcmansions. They’re factory built homes shipped to site and dropped on locally poured foundations, sometimes with basements.

Sure, they can be decent sized, but the mcmansion is overly large and aimed at a different crowd, a crowd that’s increasingly unable to afford them.

Source; I grew up in a corpo housing development from the 60s or 70s. The houses all looked identical from the outside, but had a few different floor plans, one down the street was actually two of the wrong halves put together, which meant that one of the closets didn’t have a door and could only be accessed by someone crawling in through a gap near the ceiling.

Thankfully there was no HOA, so the houses quickly picked up some individuality.

It reads like AI slop.

Edit; maybe.

I do believe so, yes.

They’ve been updated over the years, but the basic platform is still the same, same explosive yield, but new guidance systems and such.

My thoughts were similar, but more along the lines of it being considered crass to kill them in the tavern. Once they leave, well, then the game is on.

I’d imagine that one is because of medical more than anything else. There are all sorts of regulations around medical devices. That slows shit down.

Mindustry is a industrial based tower defense with RTS elements. It’s quite addictive. It’s $10 on steam or free on itch.io

Oddly enough, not run by Microsoft.
