Still a tough line to toe.
South Korea can undoubtedly roll North Korea. But North Korea + China + Ruzzia is much harder to contend with.
NK is benefitting from actively trading with first world economies in a meaningful way and will likely be heavily updating their military and spycraft capabilities.
This will blow back way harder on Israel than America.
Ignoring all politics, logistically this war is a rounding error in the Pentagon’s budget. America can and often does absolutely anything it wants to anyone at any point in time - and the only thing stopping it is how it feels about a subject at any given moment.
Israel is tiny and surrounded by enemies who they are pissing off.
For the record I am entirely opposed to Israel committing genocide and America funding it.
Classic hot jam, great for cleaning the house baked af
The scariest thing about Conservatives is they are getting pressed against reality and the false narrative they cling to as the only possible explanation of reality.
Their lie is so ridiculous and so obviously ‘coming from inside the house’ that they will now protect it with everything they are.
The only hope is that they accept a conclusion of ‘I was right about everything, just the small detail of who was actually responsible needed a single puzzle piece to confirm’.
I’m pending diagnosis for ADHD but if I had to take a stab at it I’d say both groups have tasks they simply can/cannot do without some kind of help or personal system of ways to accomplish any number of things
Something unifying about having obtuse yet ironclad processes for doing things that should be simple and others find baffling
The memes are pretty good here too!
Was surprised at how unbothered the building was by those bombs
I suppose it doesn’t matter that the building is still standing if everyone’s organs are liquefied.
I can’t decide if it’s better to leave a strategic position (that’s easy to bomb) standing for repeat business, or if levelling the building is the overall better strategy
Either way, those were some accurate strikes!
Go into the office and waste every resource you can.
Plug in a fan + heater + aquarium + massage pad at your desk and leave everything on constantly even when you leave
Print every email and throw it in the trash.
Make coffee 50x a day and pour it down the sink
Flush a whole roll of TP every hour
Leave sinks on in the bathroom
Use entire tubs of soap to wash your hands
Turn on the microwave for hours at a time
Heat/cool office thermometer to force HVAC into overdrive
Open new browser windows until your computer crashes and repeat until the network goes down
Company wide meme emails that everyone participates in (team building) that crash servers and dominate inboxes
Pour sugar/crumbs everywhere so there’s pest problems
Accept every phishing email
Put USB sticks found on the ground into your work computer
Open the door for strangers who want to get in the building without a badge
FORM A UNION
(nuclear option) introduce bedbugs to all your bosses offices

To be fair, if everything in the system leading up to the school is lead free there should be minimal leeching only happening in the school pipes.
If the pipes in the school have any sediment buildup sequestering the lead from the water there would be little to no leeching.
Definitely looks bad when you say “keep lead pipes in schools” but the reality is still something like “95% of lead removed from water coming out of school taps”
Also, might make schools likely to remove lead pipes if the system is lead free. No point in removing lead pipes from a school if there’s +20 miles of lead pipe leading to/from the school
Fuck me do I ever hate landmines.
Obviously fuck Ruzzia, and Ukraine isn’t doing anything wrong defending itself in this way.
But there’s something entirely different about passive warfare like that.
The footage of drones dropping grenades are pretty brutal too - but for me there’s something different between being hunted by a weapon system engaged in active warfare, and the passive indifference of mines.
There’s a lot of footage from this war that live rent free in my head, but an especially brutal one was of a Ukrainian soldier(medic?) during the first significant use of western armor counter offensive.
They jumped out of the APC, clearly picking their landing spot, and immediately their leg was blown off by a landmine. You could see them succumbing to shock as they’re trying to get a Tourniquet on. Thankfully his buddies immediately loaded him up and left, but it’s stayed with me more than any of the others.
I just wanna go to Goth IHOP 👀
Not yet we’re not!
Still plenty of nature to kill before humanity cannot survive in any capacity without corpo supply chains.
If you’re breathing free air, drinking real water, and actual food can grow out of the ground we’re comparably in cyber paradise given how much worse AI spycraft and corporate ownership will worsen everything exponentially for the non-connected over the next decades
Wtaf is going on in the US lately.
Looking at breaking up Google
Going after Visa for monopolizing debit markets
TD slapped with a penalty worth more than the crime (for the first time ever?)
Going after market manipulators
I’ve never seen the law applied to the wealthy in a way that might actually influence future behaviour (and not for the worst??!)
Killing education is definitely a big part of it, but controlling every news source in huge areas and pumping outright lies and disinformation 24/7 can eventually break down anyone living in that environment.
These people desperately cling to hierarchy. Bad people go to jail, good people don’t.
These people never hear about Trump being bad, and only see him slip though the law effortlessly.
All they see is Trump being innocent and not getting in trouble at all, ever, for anything. Half of all politics and nearly all Media hide or obfuscate Trump’s insanity and incompetence.
So many voters see a president everyone they know and talk to adores, getting dragged by Democrats to no effect.
“If he was guilty he’d be in Jail, but since he’s not in jail Democrats must be liars and everything Republicans say about him is true.”
Easy, thoughtless conclusions that reinforce their worldview and solidify them as supremely correct.
Now, they’ll certainly move the goalposts once he is in Jail, because they will also never admit they were wrong about anything because if they’re wrong about Trump, they’re wrong about their entire worldview and that’s something they are not mentally able to do.
For what it’s worth, my DJI drone flashes low battery around 20% and given the altitude these drones are flying at I wouldn’t be surprised if easily more than half of the battery was consumed just getting up there.
The spy craft in me thinks it could also be a false reading to hide the drones true operational range.
What else do you need a God for if not to grant divine authority to dehumanize anyone or anything you don’t like?
The spine seems to be working pretty well for every other vertebrate though 🗿
This is very true, especially around mid game.
There are significantly more quests than you need to advance levels and eventually you get level 30+ having done all the side quests and there will be several unfinished missions for recommend level 7-20 that become worthless unless the story/character behind it interests you.
Definitely grind early missions as they are basically tutorials and also give you lore on all the factions, don’t worry too much about gold as you will rarely be able to buy weapons better than what you find.
By mid game you’ll have tons of access to loot for selling and will probably be more interested in spending money on refining/upgrading items than buying mediocre armor and weapons.
The bombs and oils are great if you keep them upgraded
Never sell ingredients you don’t have a billion of, you can buy a potion to redistribute your levels and switching from magic/physical build to late game Alchemist is really strong and fun and changes up play style.
And then everything too big to fail! Too big to fail = too big.
It’s not like the knowledgeable people, or systems/infrastructure all disappear if a business fails. Business is basically a bunch instructions for people moving a bunch of shit around for money. Literally nothing about it is so unique it cannot be reproduced.
And then also Physically split up Elon, billionaires need to learn how to exist in a society of laws and consequences instead of above it.
