Fair enough, let me rephrase that:

I’m glad scientists think otherwise, or we would still be living in the bronze age.

Few people will be surprised by this. The passivity and submission to the USA were already strong signs that she betrayed her country for power and profit.

how does one look at a fired round, presumably beat to shit from impact, and trace it back to a origin?

This took 5s to find using DDG

The main purpose of the board is to oversee the Gaza ceasefire

Trump seeks to build his own UN. One where the USA only has the power to veto anything.

pumping oil out of pubic lands

this sounds really painful lol

I mean this feels like an obvious result.

I’m glad scientists think otherwise, or we would still be living in the dark ages.

Once a non pedophile, war-monger gets back in the presidency, some little bit of marketing and everyone will go back to buying US.

It remains to be seen if you’ll ever have free elections again. You might become a dictatorship well before then.

not OP but I believe they’re “soft” in the sense that they don’t have moats/high electric fences/battalions of armed guards around 24/7

Ain’t we all? this is why I use MATE btw

Insect armageddon has happened way faster than anyone thought

I remember as a kid (I’m currently in my late 40s) that the world was full of bugs. Many, many tipes of mosquitos, beetles, praying mantis, ladybugs, ants, cicadas. You rode in a car at night and the windshield would be splattered by bugs every 30s. Nowadays I barely see any around.

EDIT: the exception seems to be cockroaches. Those never went away.

their foreign minister said Zelenskyy - a Jew - is a nazi?

there’s plenty of nazi jews in Israel, so what gives?

Beautiful quote, I wish I could upvote you twice

Meus manos tugas, por favor não elejam um clone de Bolsonaro/Trump/Orban, evitem essa dor de cabeça. Governos de extrema-direita tendem a corroer/destruir todas as instituições por dentro e podem ser difíceis de retirar do poder depois

US has over 2000 fighter jets. In hand.

And they can’t deploy them all at the same time on the same target, unless they risk being vulnerable elsewhere

The 38-year-old father

Not old enough to remember Mosaddegh, it seems. But I thought iranians studied their own history in school, looks like this guy skipped lots of history classes.

Don’t atribute malice where stupidity fits. It’s quite probable that a sizable chunk of those 25% didn’t even understood the question.

it makes exports more desirable

except that pissing off most of the world leads to boycotts

All these involve learning and maintaining skills more removed from power than skills of more industrial professions (monotonous work).

I tend to disagree. There is something gratifying in making something with your own hands/tools. I could buy a table, or a drawer, or a pre-built computer. But I kinda enjoy making/assembling mine own. There are other people out there that enjoy gardening, and plenty other “monotonous work”.

If two guys are hanging out and one says “hey I think I think I should take more drugs” and the other says “hell yeah brother do it” they aren’t responsible if the first guy ODs

They are indirectly responsible. Dangerously close, depending on circumstances, of being criminally responsible.

But today’s money doesn’t really have any frontiers our boundaries. If a corp is being openly traded in the stock market, it belongs to the very same assholes that own the americans megacorps.
