Imagine living in India and witnessing American consumption intimately is your job. That's a special kind of cruelty.

If we're just making comparisons to justify murder, do you know what's worse than murdering 7000 people? Murdering 30000 people. But being better by comparison doesn't make you right. There will always be someone worse to compare yourself to.

It's going to depend on the severity of several pending scandals and what the Saudis decide to do with oil prices between now and November. Democrats should have an astronomical campaign warchest while the GOP is blowing their wad on the candidate's legal bills. The Democrats game to lose and that's their expertise.

Christianity emerged out of rumour and legend to grab the minds of fools and it transformed the world in very chaotic and destructive ways. Q Anon is setting up to out do Christianity. The numbers on Q's growth are terrifying.

When it comes to misinformation I always remember when I was a kid I'm the early 90s, another kid told me confidently that the USSR had landed on Mars, gathered rocks, filmed it and returned to earth(it now occurs to me that this homeschooled kid was confusing the real moon landing.) I remember knowing it was bullshit but not having a way to check the facts. The Internet solved that problem. Now, by God , the Internet has recreated the same problem.

Handy for Israel to get to exterminate them within their own borders and everyone else is to blame because they won't take them as refugees. Both those things are bad, but one is at least a bit worse.

I don't get why people still use that platform. It's so hostile to the users. This is an election year and we're just going to give him all this influence? Society is a big dumb animal.

This message keeps being spread. Wonder how significant it is or if it's like a handful and propagandists are making it out to be a trend?

It's an ethically shitty and exploitative funding model, but if you look at the gameplay, you'll see the appeal of buying the $45 game package. Very few people stop at though. No matter how much you hear that spending more is unnecessary, they've built a system of incremental spending and incentives that draw people ever deeper.

The insane thing is that the supposed final vision sounds incredibly tedious in a way that I doubt most people would ever actually play it. For the sake of immersion, you will have to physically move every item from spare sets of armour to bulk cargo for transport jobs. There is a light survival mechanic of hydration and nutrition, but personal hygiene is also planned. Upgrading ships will mean physically pulling components and replacing them, but the real gains will be in the subcomponents!

Maybe that sounds fun as a vision statement, but I assure you, after losing that hand loaded, hand upgraded ship to bugs or exploits for the third time, the joy will all be gone.

I suppose it's lucky that none of their vision or promises ever come to pass. Anyway. You want my referral code?

I'll never forget, a few years into the war I asked what my Afghani colleague thought of the war. He told me "I hate the Taliban. When I was a boy they came to my village and slit all the men's throats. NOT a few of the men. ALL of the men." Leaving those people to suffer that regime was a greater crime than any we committed in the 20 years of occupation.

I think the conservative justices will be happy to see his demise and the rise of his more competent successor. I doubt he can count on them for any favors.

So pretty much inevitable then. :(
