Perhaps even on fleek.

Politicians making decisions based on public opinion has a lot of cause and effect relation. By all accounts it would have been easier to maintain a 40k to 100k presence in Iraq than it was to pack everything up and leave.

ChatGPT can’t explain stuff like that. You should never use an LLM as a primary source of information or you will be misinformed sooner or later.

I find it hard to believe 9 other people as misinformed as you scrolled this far into this thread to upvote your theory that US troops never left Iraq they just died.

In 2010 there were 88,000

In 2024 there were 2,500

If they punish me for following the wrong one home then thats just life.

I genuinenely did not know that WoW was still running, tbh.

I personally feel like a lot came out of it, though. The USA left Iraq for example.

I haven’t seen much cheering on World but I imagine elsewhere those tankie triad fucks are having a fit over the Isreali strikes.

100% has different cultures, however:

1. Not necessarily better, due to lack of enforceable centralized moderation policy a lot of morally grey or dark communities and instances exist, and it is more susceptible to bots.

2. Reddit was so absolutely massive compared to current Lemmy that it naturally did have more niches.

Do you have any strong opinions on cooking utensils such as wooden spoons?

Some people still have strong possitive feelings for AIM.

Runescape outlived WoW and all the rest because people preferred it.
