Stop making ridiculous comparisons. Dogs are cute when they beg.

All attempts to discover how the universe works benefits us. Even a lot of really esoteric stuff has proven useful in fields like medicine and civil engineering.

Honestly if we can pivot our high tech innovation efforts from being mainly driven by military needs to being driven by basic research (basic in this case meaning researching the natural world directly without any particular goal other than learning), we’d be a lot better off.

I’m sure all the Iranian officials are on Truth Social. Yeah, that’s the platform of choice to get through to them.

The Reddit culture of just hating on random people’s objectively harmless hobbies/interests/preferences. Think “snark” subreddits and similar. And if you call them out on it suddenly you’re the problem.

Channel that hate toward things that actually do harm if anything.

If I was Iran, I’d close the strait to US/Western traffic FOREVER. Something something don’t negotiate with terrorists. And threaten to cut off any country that sells oil to the West, you know, like they’re doing with Cuba. Then again I’m definitely not qualified nor have the desire to lead any country, let alone Iran.

Feel bad for the metals that were defiled into that murder machine.

Just block and move on

Why haven’t you? Take your own advice.

Star Spangled Banner

Candy Crush and the million remakes from the same publisher. Stole the core mechanic from Bejeweled but designed to be addictive instead of fun.

Also how are you so shameless that you’ll publish remakes of a game you stole in the first place?

So I don’t have to deal with dumbasses like you? Gladly.

Shoot Gorbachev right in the forehead stain.

SHUT THE FUCK UP about privilege when you’re literally trying to justify slaughtering people in much, much poorer countries. Orders of magnitude more people in the countries America targets experience a life far worse than the worst life in America, because of America. You don’t get to kill other people to feed yourself. Jesus fucking Christ.

I’m hungry and I may be homeless soon.

So you’re okay with inflicting that same suffering and much worse on other people in countries already with a much lower quality of life than you to escape that fate yourself?

Can’t wait for the same people who put “I did that” stickers with Biden at gas pumps to do the same with Trump. They will, right? Because they apply their outrage of resource prices consistently, right? Riiiiiight???

Not an accident either. The ruling class figured out long ago that giving the peasents some Resistance Lite™ is enough to satiate them and prevent them from pursuing real resistance. Hell, they’ll even actively crush real resistance for you, saving you money.

Also not exclusive to the US. At least Canada is the same, if not every other Western country.

Because it would probably take more energy than the oil itself contains

This is thriller novel level

I think it’s more of a symptom of how narrow a view of the world you get from mainstream English language social media, even the view of other Western countries. Sites like Reddit are openly hostile to content in other languages since only English is allowed in the main subreddits and other languages are quarantined to dedicated language/country subreddits, while sites like Facebook/Twitter accept all languages but completely isolate different languages from each other to avoid the “bad UX” of seeing content in a language the user doesn’t know.
