I'm sure the Palestinian people will be safe now.

They should give a speech with a giant "Mission accomplished" banner overhead.

I downloaded it from youtube years ago to watch on my phone whenever I feel like.

Hopefully I'll be able to watch it in HD soon!

As long as you can live with it, I guess!

All things being relative, of course.

I haven't even been tortured yet!

[X] I'm in this picture and I don't like it

I haven't played a live service game since Destiny 2 decided to completely remove all the shit I paid for, then lock everything new behind even more pay walls.

I've been playing dozens of games since then. It's not hard to find games that aren't live service and likely won't be touched outside of stability and a couple QoL things here and there.

I'm all for laws requiring all games to be playable offline, and without any sort of bullshit "online activation". I paid for a game, I want to play the game without having to download shit first. I want to play the game whether my hanky-ass internet connection is stable or even nonexistent today. I want to be able to use the thing I paid for without having to jump through extra hoops, no matter how large or "on the ground" the hoop is. It's still a hoop.

Me, 5 seconds ago: Oh, well the lake here in Ohio has a lot of debris in it too, I'm sure it's not that baHOLY SHIT THAT'S SO MUCH

It almost looks like I could go walk across the surface.

That's an insane amount. How do you even go about cleaning it all up? A bunch of small boats and guys with rakes, or do you look into transporting a trash barge with a crane and have dump trucks haul it all away?

Won't be quick or easy, that's for sure.

I don't think I know anyone who would consider an "Israeli-American" to be white, or even any whiter than "Lebanese-American", and I'm solidly Midwestern.

I kind of want to send out a bunch of messages to people asking if they consider one "white" or "whiter" than the other...

I know plenty of people who will give Israel carte Blanche simply because it "needs to exist for Jesus to come back" though, so answers wouod be skewed I imagine.

Sorry I didn't really answer your question, I'm interested to hear other people's takes as well.

Back in the day, if I read "Sitting president calls for a coup d'état after hearing he lost the election" we could laugh and go "oh, you silly satirical newspaper, such a thing would never happen, this was an amusing diversion from the mundane!"

Now we go "Oh my god, turn on basically any news channel, there's people trying to murder congress and hang the vice president and nobody is trying to stop them" and continue on FOR FOUR GODDAMN YEARS LIKE NOTHING FUCKING HAPPENED

HEY FUCK YOU GET OUT OF MY HOUSE

Oh my god I just felt my chest release slightly with a tension I didn't even know was there.

I never hear the full sentence, people always just cut it off 5 words in for some reason...
