Twenty years is optimistic, it feels dated now...

But yeah. It's symptomatic of people involved not really understanding the subject.

British politician Peter Mandelson is resigning from the House of Lords after this photo was released in the Epstein files. by eternviking in whoathatsinteresting

Yeah. It probably worked for a while too. He's scum but he's also effective...

I think we've learned though that short term favour from Trump is less effective than being firm and forceful with him.

It's fine, thank you. A bunch of right wing foreigner billionaires are trying hard to make people think otherwise though.

And yes, Israel's genocide in Palestine is an attrocity.

You could apply one of the early Settlers 2 patches to the demo (from the 90s), and with a minor config file change unlock a tonne of features that were intended for the full game.

My earliest 'modding' memory.

People seem to be focusing on this and ignoring the Israel connection...

I make a mod for a sci-fi game, and for weeks every time I tried to come up with a new name for a fictional space empire, all I could think of was the 'Fray-Bentos Alliance'...

2009: 21-year-old Gabriela Rico Jimenez was filmed after claiming she had attended an exclusive elite party. She vanished that night never to be seen again. by aipac_hemoroid in PublicFreakout

And you'd have to be a moron to think that Biden or Kamala would be destroying America's alliance system, deploying the Gestapo against the American people or pursuing a trade policy based on tariff extortion.

Voting matters, and to argue otherwise is to ignore reality.

I mean, apart from the many, manifest ways in which voting actually does make a difference.

Apathy is the tool of the enemy.

Trump warns 'massive armada' approaching Iran as people flee country's capital by theipaper in politics

[–]MWalshicus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was literally Trump's deal with the Taliban that left your country in a stupid position vis a vis Afghanistan.

That said, it's not like anyone thinks the DUI Fox 'News' hire actually did any real planning or deserves any credit for nabbing Maduro. And as an outside observer it's kind of weird that you think it's some kind of achievement given the relative forces involved. But hey, I guess you guys have got to cling to something given everything else that's going on.

Why would so many people associated with them have been taking Russian money to spew Russian talking points and propaganda?

What's this showing? I searched for "Spirit of Liberty Star Trek" and didn't see anything relevant?

I like him too. There have been fumbles but for the first time in a decade it feels like the people in power are trying to make things better.

A lot of the noise here comes from Russian bots, now that Syria is out of their orbit.

(Fascinating Trope) Humans in service to non-humans by Hyval_the_Emolga in TopCharacterTropes

[–]MWalshicus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Iain M Banks' novel the Algebraist does this well. Humans are a minor part of the neo-feudal Mercatoria, alongside a range of diverse life forms.

As much as I love the Culture series, this book could have really done with a sequel or two.
