I like having an enemy that actually denies an area until you have higher-level weapons or are willing to be creative. Every other enemy is trivial to avoid and mostly kill.

Somehow this is so much worse for me.

They used to replace the spiders with babies.

Hezbollah is the only thing stopping Israel from conquering Lebanon, if they need Iran’s help to stop Israel from invading and ethnically cleansing their land like they’re doing in Palestine, so be it.

DocToPdf Disrespect was quietly banned from twitch, and then responded to allegations that he was sexting minors with “age of consent varies between states, what I did wasn’t even illegal and what even is sexting? This is just haters trying to ruin my day”

The OP meme is mocking the Taliban for their lack of money. The Taliban don’t have money because the US stole the Afghan government’s funds and imposed sanctions.

The result of this has been the worst famine in the world during the period between shortly after the withdrawal and shortly after Oct 7. OP believes that this is liberating for afghan women because they think the Taliban need money to oppress women or something.

Before the Americans left, the Afghan people lived in terror of the Taliban, Kabul and its warlords, and the Americans.

Today they live in terror of just the Taliban (OK, the Taliban and starvation).

You can make that queso dip way better yourself in like 5 minutes, it’s just a block of queso fresco (or white american), chop it up for faster melting, sodium citrate, milk, peppers, and seasoning. The sodium citrate is vital to keep it from getting grainy.

For the last couple centuries, Moloch has largely been a metaphor for “the economy and profits”.

Here’s an example from 1927

you cant trust them to not powertrip with actually controversial political issues.

I mean they “preemptively defederated hexbear as a last resort” for fear they might discuss politics, so that ship has sailed.

I see a lot more vegan hate than vegans.

You know Radio Free Asia is literally funded by the CIA? It is the very definition of non-credible.

The graph shows the overwhelming majority want the status quo for now, with only ~10% wanting immediate independence. That portion would be a lot higher, and the “reunification now+eventually” segments would be almost zero if China’s ambition was genocidal.

C’mon, that’s absurd, if the PRC wanted to murder everyone living in the RoC they wouldn’t be letting them travel freely to and from the mainland.

You wouldn’t have similar numbers of people supporting immediate independence and eventual reunification on Taiwan.

That seems unlikely, what exactly are they trying to reunify with? A few rocks and beaches in the pacific ocean?

I can only assume that is directed to American troops on Taiwan, since the Taiwan residents are still PRC citizens.

Everything except for the Taiwan reunification getting closer is pretty hard to disagree with though, the US might end up making it happen much sooner than expected, just not in a way that’s favorable to anyone involved.

In the long term, reunification is pretty inevitable; just by virtue of the US being a failing empire, china will eventually offer them a deal so much better than what the west can offer that it won’t be refused.

A few things

1. Nobody has the force projection necessary to invade the US, nobody even builds their military with that goal in mind.

2. WWIII doesn’t have to involve Russians going into your house for the US not to be unaffected, while we are a net food exporter, the majority of that is animal feed. We import most of the food you see in grocery stores, tons of parts for our power grid, refineries, and other vital infrastructure is imported too. The Yemen is managing to shut down US-aligned shipping off their coast with drones and missiles, despite getting indiscriminately bombed with US bombs and planes for a decade.

3. Occupations suck for the guys getting occupied. Iraq allowed 1 machine gun per family. Do you think the Iraqis had a good time when we occupied them?

4. Nukes.

Well that’s horrifying.

Milei, Meloni, and Orban already ran by the cameraman.

also known as Romani Cob

And the Romani (and g*psy) both refer to the Romani people, so even in this context it’s a slur

Then again

Gypsy Cob Register,[11] Gypsy Vanner Horse Society,[12] Gypsy Horse Registry of America,[13] or Australasian Gypsy Horse Society.

It seems like yes it’s a slur, but it’s also so widespread it’s hard to avoid using it.

fuck all the actual people that live in Ukraine and have had their lives upended or destroyed because of the war.

They wouldn’t have had their lives upended if we weren’t doing everything in our power to prolong the war! This is the absolute worst case scenario for actual Ukrainians.

Never said we were, just said I’ve served, so don’t put words in my mouth.

So you understand making the world a worse place isn’t the gotcha you seem to think it is right?

they democratically elected their leader

The one who suspended elections after he got elected on a platform of peace and failed to end the civil war?

apparently living in a prison-state worse than Russia.

How many Ukrainians living in Ukraine do you know? I’m certain it’s less than the actual Ukrainian right here telling you what the situation is.

So go fuck yourself, I don’t know why you’re defending some Russian troll.

You really don’t give a shit about actual Ukrainians beyond their willingness to bleed for the profits of the military industrial complex.
