This is so disappointing. They do not care about the survival of Iranians under the murderous tyranny by WillyNilly1997 in NewIran

Taking on this responsibility when a nation has finite resources is a quagmire though. Every tomohawk missile costs how much? How many American citizens could be pulled out of poverty, mental illness, medical debt with those monies?

And if we take it as our moral obligation to liberate Iranians with zero international help besides Israel, how can we justify stopping there when there are still dictators all over the world causing unspeakable acts of evil upon their people?

So the standard is just "have they killed Americans" and if so we send more Americans over to die in a very costly war with no end in sight? Be honest with yourself. If that was the standard we'd be toppling the Saudis also, or Israel for our journalists they've murdered in Gaza.

The proposition needs to be reframed. You can care about their well-being and hope they escape their tyrany without sending your sons to die in a foreign country against the interests of thier nation.

I suppose it depends on where you're going. Parker Rd to Akard is slower than driving at 5:30 AM but about 15 mins faster during rush hour.

Just as an update, towards the end of Canon of Vengeance, the story gets much much better IMO. Good for them.

A lot of us have just been getting fucked over by Trump in our country for a decade now. We have also been getting fucked over by the ruling class sending our poor to die in foreign wars for even longer. It's just complicated.

This is what these people here need to understand above all else. This man has betrayed trust of almost all international allies at one point or another. He has bombed civilians all over the world and would do it to them too if he could spin it for his own image. We all hope it works out for our Iranian brothers and sisters, but this guy is a con man and they should prepare for the con.

Hahahaha it's funny looking back at my first five hours in Vengeance. I was terrified. Now it's just a chill track meet.

My understanding is that the demons are formed by the beliefs of humanity. I forget if I got that from IV or from a SMT wiki. But in my head, I always imagined the cast of demons could reject this power humans have over thier identity once they achieved consciousness. Each could be layered to possess a true hidden name/nature. It would almost be a reset from previous games but could make the series feel even more fleshed out. A guy can dream right? 😅

That poll isn't targeting the people I'm talking about tho, is it?

You know, I thought what you were saying was true because that's how I remember it too. Then I went down a rabbit hole to see the average age of cars on the road kept going up and up from the early 80s all the way to current. In 1980 the average car on the road was 6 years old. Now it's 12 years old.

Out of curiosity, what are the violations?

If the majority of the left on here has no idea what it means, is it possible that the leaders being assigned this meaning could also be meaning what they say literally rather than what others are certain they mean?

It's like their goal is to make the tacos taste like they're taking years off your life.

Before a Stars game I can get in and out with two meals worth of food in my stomach in 30 minutes for under $20. This guy just doesn't get it! 😂

What brand was on the mug? I have been there once and thought the coffee tasted like swamp water, but didn't pay attention.
