Yeah I want both governments to fall and both countries’ people to thrive and forge a better future

They could’ve been asking for their shochu to be held though

Yeah shit like that is why the ultra rich have committed to destroying international organizations like the UN

Ah yes just casually taking the bulk of the fucking Nile…

That’s concerning. I hope she’s got means to protect herself.

They were originally unsweetened and unspiced bran crackers. Graham was part of a social movement that believed any form of stimulation, including things like flavor, inflamed the libido, and that sex was of course deeply unhealthy.

Like, don’t get me wrong, I’m super pro fiber, I’m just also a slut that loves flavor.

It also doesn’t make them into the sort of revolutionaries that make for a better world.

Ok, but can we give the Kurds the lasting support and right to immigrate easily we keep promising them? They’ve been some of our greatest allies, especially in the region (actual allies unlike Israel), and we keep leaving them out to dry.

Yeah I switched two years ago after trying and going back like 7 years prior. My first try was during a time I was using a lot of propertarian software, gaming on Linux didn’t work, I wasn’t prepared for the changes, and it didn’t just work. I’d always wanted the freedom, but I’m not a programmer and most important for me was that things work. The recall bs and the floating of ads was what got me to switch, and I’m glad I did.

The homeowner?

I was thinking more the full Wilhelm. A perfectly acceptable safe life where he never has to work again but with no political power ever again. Is it fair? Fuck no. But it respects national sovereignty and it works to establish a norm that tyrants can safely step down if they create a democratic republic before it turns into a war. After? Well, then you have to negotiate for your life. You have to give them an opportunity out. I hate tyranny more than tyrants.

I’ll also say that for people who experience that intentionally building up distress tolerance is super valuable

It’s the internet and you’re having fun. Everyone on here is a dog pretending to be a person, but sometimes you’re gonna get random accusations of whatever. Hell sometimes they’re gonna be right

It’s genuinely a useful skill to learn to brush stuff like this off.

I fucking hate the future… Bullshit panopticon

Do you have any better ideas on who to make generals? /s

But yeah, facials nobles, bloodthirsty morons, dick measuring dipshits, and anyone who thinks the fact that they have power means they’re good at things are the exact audiences of the book. That’s also why it blew American businesspeople’s minds.

We joke about Sun Tzu’s advice being obvious, but it’s the advice that an emotionally driven narcissistic nepo baby needs, because that’s who historically has been in charge of militaries. Anyone who understands people knows that cornered people don’t surrender unless the risk benefit feels worth it, but people who don’t understand other people’s mindsets and are focused on glory/conquest are going to think that you can bomb a regime into peaceful surrender and that they’ll gladly give up their leaders. No, you make moderates into combatants like that.

Iran was having mass protests for liberalization. We could have been the heroes offering an out to the leaders and helping establish a liberal republic giving favorable deals. Make Iran into an ally for less money than war. But no, that’s not a dick measuring contest that shows how tough they are and so now a bunch of children will die and Iran will continue to hate us for good reason.

In Tehran too. Thousands living in Baghdad didn’t stop us. A world leader willing and able to use nukes in a war they started with a non nuclear enemy is an extinction level threat. In 45 it was one thing, but we can carpet the other side of the planet with fusion warheads now.

Well it’s not like the misspelled tattoos went anywhere

What‽ Ankle socks suck and I won’t have my generation slandered like this

No, and my only readers are on the old workstations I use as servers. Bigass thumb drives just do more better and have since 16 gigs made a thumb drive bigass
