Yeah, they've been trying this QAI pivot for a couple of years now but the lack of a Minimum Griftable Product is stopping them.

Westboro Baptist didn't do it any favours. Doesn't help that a lot of lay Calvinists in the USA are hypercalvinists instead.

Cuba's in a shitty position, the Soviets made it so Cuba was an agricultural powerhouse of the Socialist world, but that meant they never industrialised. That said they also have enormous Cobalt, Copper, and Nickel reserves (which were just coming online when Venezuela's economy shit the bed and ruined everything), and a decent amount of other resources. They're just short on oil, coal, gas, and iron. which is a shitty combo if you want an industry.

They do have silica reserves but they're still ramping up their first big pilot factory (again, they're not stupid, they were just dealt a shitty hand.)

I think China should send Cuba some nukes, just as a gesture of goodwill between nations. surely the US wont object.

Nah, they're stunting on Musk, and we can afford a modest steady effort to increase long term space capabilites without sacrificing socialist programs on Earth. The Soviets understood this, as does China now.

There is a decent argument to be made for that increase in capabilities. If we can get enough stuff up there to begin Orbital and Lunar manufacture, a lot of possibilities for energy generation and resource use open up. That will ultimately help people on earth, and eventually people off earth too.

"There will be apple blossoms on Mars" as the old Soviet Cosmonaut song said.

It's also an attempt to ward off any Jacobinism, he started writing it shortly after the June 1832 "Le Miserables" revolt. (One of the first times the Red Socialist flag was raised.)

Dude is trying to reinvent Zhdanovist propaganda theory from first principles but for chuds.

I believe F-15 pilots might have a compact version of an M16 carbine, but I'm not sure if it's in widespread deployment. In any case most countries have orders for pilots to surrender if cornered, the gun is to scare away animals or a shepherd with a shotgun. Pilots are expensive (not as expensive as an A10 or C130, though)

[-] Mardoniush@hexbear.net 19 points 6 days ago

Makes a lot of sense though.

I suspect that the initial SAR team picked him up closer to the site, but they were forced to divert to the nuke raid base, which then got made and had to be abandoned. They burned their only chance at taking their nuke program out for a fucking pilot who will likely never fly again. (Untreated ejection injuries are not fun)

I really do feel like I'm taking crazy pills with libs this election. The last two they at least had a bloodless rationale to the "lesser of two evils" rhetoric.

But this is genocide, the canonical Worst Thing You Can DO! I know many just believe that it's not a genocide at all because Palestinian civilians are all Hamas and just subhuman or that the videos published by official IOF channels are all deepfaked by the hungry ghost of Nasrallah. But then just FUCKING SAY IT and then we can call you a genocide denier and we'll know where we stand!

What I can't get is that many do seem to agree it's a genocide and Kamala is complicit. But then they lesser evil by going "Well if we don't vote then Trump will do bad things to trans people here."

Like Fuck You! You scheming, gaslighting bloody handed monster!

Either this is just a disingenuous argument to get your team in power or to maintain liberal civility politics, in which case double Fuck You that you think people are abstract political tools.

Or, you actually believe this, and the freedom of an LGBT person here outweighs the lives of 2 million people, many LGBT, who happen to have had the extreme misfortune to be born 5 cm over the border and thus outside your ability to feel empathy.

In which case Triple Fuck You, because you are, somehow, more of a fascist than Trump. At least Trump is too incoherent to make a complete argument for fascist policy!

I'm going mad, I really am. How can people be streamed genocide live on CNN and just say "well, I guess we're ok with genocide now!" Is the US public even human?! Even the fucking Germans had the good sense to pretend to look guilty after they lost.

~~Yes this is the dumb climate denier econ guy who was popular in the days before the Erdtree.~~

Nope he's an odd Transhumanist associated with Bostrom et al so, more a dumb eugenics guy.

So, after playing through the whole game, we get to Viconia, and look how they've massacred my girl.

Larian have done such a good job with every other character, it was so disappointing seeing her reduced to a generic Evil VIllain.

IN BG1/2 I saved her from being burned at the stake, helped her to trust the people that had taken everything from her, watched her turn from evil to neutral and come to an understanding of Shar that wasn't just worshipping her as a foil to Lloth. And completed a very hard but very satisfying romance.

And now she goes right back to the Stupid Evil alignment.

I'd understand if she'd been driven to despair by her abandonment by "Charname" or had it explained at all by the devs. But I'm just so disappointed.

Also Minsc, what is your problem, you began to like each other in ToB!? Don't say "she tried to kill Boo" half the party was trying to kill Boo

Someone makes a poll. Blue pill or red pill.

50% blue, everyone lives.

50% red, blue people die, red people live

Roko, the dumbest man alive

I don't understand why anyone would vote blue in this poll Can someone who voted blue please give their logic?

Something is seriously broken in this guy.

Libs, walking straight into chud talking points and framing in a blissfully innocent attempt at "nuance" since...1650? Earlier? Fucked if I know they've always been this way.

The usual GC types are already making out-of-context clips.

Uphold TC69 thought, combat liberalism, We love and fight with our Trans Comrades!

Elon's latest grain silo went full Kerbal, spinning and all.

Stage Separation Failure supposedly, but frankly it was looking bad long before that.

I'm sure the debris damage will buff out.

Not tagging this spoiler cause fuck TERFs, don't buy the game, uphold TC69 Thought etc. Have gotten this all from the above article and reviews that support it.

Yep, anti-semitic, slave-owning, Protocols of Zion plagiarising, let's join the anti-goblin pogrom game.

Yes the MacGuffin unambiguously belongs to the Goblins, who have a labour theory of ownership. No you can't join the Goblins. Yes you kill a bunch of them. Yes, there is a fucking quisling that's seen as good actually. Yes, every teacher thinks fighting the goblins is a good thing, despite a few token missions that apparently show how oppressed they are.

No, you never critique that this and every other aspect of the wizard world might be a bad thing.

I am once again calling for the House Elves to rise up, slit every slaver-wizard throat in Hogwarts, and place their heads on pikes outside the entrance as a warning to the others.

Don't. Buy. The TERF. Game.

Yes this is about Contra, but the fact she literally only considered US citizens in her analysis is telling. Like not a single argument about foreign policy, or concern about people 30 centimetres over the border occurred to her.

And all the Dem Socialist reply guys are arguing against her on her terms. Like fucking hell, are you Internationalists or not? Fuck how large the US left is, you're fighting for the Whole Left! I understand revolt in the Imperial core is both important and difficult, but jfc!

I'm afraid I'm going third-worldist here (for values of third world that include, like, Germany and Spain.)
