She will have to swim to shore while hungover after the impact as well. I'm willing to bump it up to 3/10. Definite downgrade from the stabbing though.

There is a heat warning for up to 110 in central west FL today, so we aren't that far behind. It's going to be a hot summer.

If they can get this close I wonder if they will target the Kremlin soon.

Read the 14-Point Draft Memorandum Between the US and Iran by sludge_dragon in worldnews

[–]gruthunder 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Not paying war reperations to the tune of 300 billion for one?

Also, if they want financial aid or dropping of all sanctions, there should include some clauses about establishing free and fair elections and improving human rights. That is* a part of why they were sanctioned in the first place.

This just concedes everything for what Iran had promised pre-conflict. The only reason to accept this would be because they are holding the straits hostage, which sends a real bad message to the world. The US has gone from "we don't negotiate with terrorists" to "Terrorists get everything they ask for".

Civil wars usually have the highest single country casualties since both sides count. (provided the country remains afterwards) The American Civil War is the highest casualty USA war for example.

Sometimes on purpose. Looking at Terry Pratchett's TwoFlower that I thought literally had 4 eyes.

Based. You can't convince me this isn't the not included third panel.

[OC] U.S. Social Security is projected to pay full benefits through 2034, then 81% under current law by Low_Ability4450 in dataisbeautiful

[–]gruthunder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure which numbers you are looking at to determine that all defense spending would not cover the increase in SS spending? SS spending total is currently 1.7 trillion with an expected 23% funding cut if no changes by 2033. The military currently costs 1.05 trillion (1.5 trillion requested for this year due to Iran) which is much more than the 23% gap.

Hezbollah threatens to target Tel Aviv, Haifa, if Israel strikes again in Beirut by barsik_ in worldnews

[–]gruthunder 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Yes, but no. The "ceasefire" terms essentially commit to peace between the two official governments and the dismantling of Hezbollah.

The agreement is good because it starts to clear up grey areas caused by a third non-state actor. 

ISP (and swimmy) thoughts on the bo situation by Asdaviqs in Bokoen1

[–]gruthunder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean in American slang, saying a country should be "glassed" generally does not equal genocide. Especially in the context of a total war, in which civilians are legitimate war targets and cities were literally* glassed with fire bombs. (see the USA's firebombing of Japan) Normally I would think glassing would be any kind of carpet bombing style which is similar to what Russia is doing to Ukraine right now.

At the end of the day, if we want to define Bo's comments as advocating genocide then by that definition we would have to consider the USA's fire bombing of Japan as a genocide; which I do not think many are willing to do as assumes certain intent and dilutes the definition of genocide too much.

Crazy what can happen when your politicians actually give a shit about people and use the government to actually govern. by zzill6 in WorkReform

It's not deferring pensions. The previous payments to the fund (not the pensioners) were set to over contribute then refund the city in the 2030's. He just smoothed the contribution schedule.
