I could go for something different than Live Updates.

Belarus gave Poland advance notice, stating that EW activity caused several drones to become uncontrolled. It's just more NATO war mongering.

This was a pretty common occurrence for me when I had untreated acid reflux. Do you get a lot of heartburn/mucus?

Handwriting was invented for fountain pens. It's not surprising that your writing would improve. I stopped handwriting and went back to printing a few years after being taught. I found it was just as fast (or faster I suspect), far more legible, and eased the pressure on my wrist. It was never intended for ballpoint pens.

Why should I? This is my home. Not theirs.

I liked it. I haven't seen it since becoming full blown communist. But I loved that it didn't shirk at all about showing the US as the blood sucking empire that it is. You have mindless murder for the sake of it. Needless cruelty. And a principled communist woman who would rather die than be a part of it.

I just wasted about a half hour of my time skimming through it. I remember upon first hearing about Russiagate that an infant could tell it was nonsense. Vague claims of hacking something or other, and being upset at Russia for exposing dirt on Hillary. The whole thing seemed manufactured.

This report seems just as manufactured and infuriatingly vague. It could be that it's too hard to refute such vague claims, or it could just be a whole lot of finger pointing (I'm leaning towards that one). Regardless, it's really not worth wasting my time thinking about it.

I am going to get the popcorn out to watch the US president cage match though. I doubt much of anything will come of it, but it's sure to be entertaining, and I like seeing the capitalist class doing some infighting.

I left my bike at the distribution centre and walked. But my partner actually made that drive. I still think walking was faster though. But it doesn't matter that much... You'll be out of the tutorial area soon. My advice is to just go. You'll get things that can traverse faster than a bike later in the game, and you can come back and 5 star things in that area later.

Also, just a tiny bit later in the game you'll have bikes coming out of your ears. It's fine to just abandon them when they're no longer convenient.

Edit: Also, there's a mechanic in the game that makes a path over your most travelled routes. So it gets easier the next time around.

I typically don't use my status card for ID for exactly this reason. On the handful of occasions where it was my only valid ID, I always had to explain to people what it was, and that it was an official ID document.

But I've also had morons who refused my passport as ID, saying that "they don't accept passports", so I really don't know what to think.

I actually thought that was a bit of an overreaction, but I still appreciated the sentiment.

I wasn't able to find what brought that on in the modlog, and his whole posting history was deleted(!). I was really curious about what he said, and after having found and read it... wow. Thank you.

I haven't played it yet, but in a similar vein, Squad 22: ZOV is a recent Russian game that depicts the Ukraine war. The American response was also quite predictable. Although it is heartening to see a number of steam reviewers calling them out for review bombing it.

 

One more disillusioned by the lies.

Whatever credibility the United States had as an advocate for human rights has almost entirely vanished since the war began. Members of civil society have refused to respond to my efforts to contact them. Our office seeks to support journalists in the Middle East; yet when asked by NGOs if the US can help when Palestinian journalists are detained or killed in Gaza, I was disappointed that my government didn’t do more to protect them. Ninety Palestinian journalists in Gaza have been killed in the last five months, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists. That is the most recorded in any single conflict since the CPJ started collecting data in 1992.

 

This is a great editorial I came across today about the history of the UN declaration that Zionism is a form of racism. It's a bit on the old side, but still very relevant today.
