We will help drive out the occupiers. Huh? Oh no, you’re cool Israel. Have some bombs.

I don’t know if this is canon in their universe, but it’s delightfully ridiculous, so I’m going with it.

Feels like the ultimate version of seeing an old Asian lady shopping for groceries in a t-shirt that says “I Love Anal” in English.

NATO really needs a revision to allow it to remove a member.

I spent a few months last year running Nobara. I’m back on Windows unfortunately. There are a ton of games that ran just fine, but there’s also a lot of little issues. For example, in Grim Dawn I couldn’t type in chat, in Pathfinder WotR I simply couldn’t get mods to work, STALKER Anomaly simply wouldn’t load. Then there was the big issue of my mouse cursor dropping below full screen games. Still there, but not visible. The only fix I could use was to restart the computer.

It’s tantalizingly close to ready, and if you don’t care about modding it probably already is. For me it just didn’t work out, yet.

It’s perfectly reasonable for PC gamers who use the Steam platform, which provides copy protection, to be annoyed by having to sign onto services they otherwise would never use. There is no purpose to it aside from marketing and data collection.

Sometimes even old enemies can be brought together by the discovery of what they have in common as opposed to what divides them. Violent atrocities against civilians for example.

I don’t think the protests would be happening if the current administration wasn’t providing significant assistance in the acts of genocide being perpetrated by Israel. I’m very glad I’m not American, faced with voting for an evil man who has deep connections to genocide to prevent an evil man who will accelerate the course of the country into fascism. I am however a little concerned that my country is on the same continent.

We could also use the descriptor, “anti-genocide” for these protests, but that’s a bit on the nose I guess.

The preamble of the article clarifies that documents showing that his advisors told him if he kept the documents he would be charged, have been unsealed. The obvious importance being that he cannot use the defence of, “Who knew?!”

Wait, I though genocide was hip again. Confusing.

We can only hope that the disintegration of global politics, and the formation of a Christian version of Iran on our border will drive defense reform.

I’m referring to the push by Christian fundamentalism to implement Project 2025. It would functionally result in a dictatorship guided by religious zealots. That’s why the comparison to Iran. Canada is in a very precarious position these days, unless you’re fond of joining in with the dissolution of democracy and human rights that is advancing pretty relentlessly down south.

It is difficult to watch Ukraine support Israel, given their battle against occupation. Historically though, nations facing their destruction often have to go to bed with the devil. See the allies being cozy with Stalin.

The wailing of hedge fund managers and the minions of the super rich is what lets us know the government is doing the right thing.

As a Canadian I don’t have to deal with it directly, but I don’t think I could cast a vote for Biden. Downvotes on these posts are strange to me. From outside the US it’s obvious that while Israel bears primary responsibility for the ongoing ethnic cleansing, it likely wouldn’t have developed so completely without the material, economic, and political support of the Biden administration. Simply telling a group that, sure this guy is cool with the elimination of your people and is willing to help, but the other guy is a threat to our system… well it’s pretty rich to expect that group to suck it up.

I definitely understand the dynamics of that, and how policy and morality make center left voters more fractious than the right, who vote on dogma. What I was trying to say, is that were I an American, I would very much struggle to give my vote to someone who is pretty clearly a part of the process of atrocity and genocide. It’s a cold decision to have to make. Do I choose an accessory to one of humanities worst crimes, or another who would also commit that crime, as well as presenting further risks of accelerating the path of America toward becoming Iran, but with a cross instead of a crescent.

I’m glad I’m not American, but I think I live way too close right now.

Shocking, the super-rich warning the economy will collapse if they aren’t allowed to become utra-rich (as quickly as they can now).

If the criteria for declaring a state military organization as terrorists, is abuses of international humanitarian convention and the rules of war, then the Revolutionary Guard can pop onto the list along with the IDF. And a bunch of others really. Calling groups and people terrorists is pretty popular these days, but the word actually has a legitimate use, which isn’t to ratify Israeli acts of war against other sovereign nations. Even if, like Israel, those nations are run by shit heads.
