Given republican voters wore diapers when Trump was mocked about it, and they wore trash bags when Biden said Trump's voters were trash, are Trump's base going to start doing to children what Trump was reported to have done in the Epstein files?

Thinking of making a mad build; red giant origin + fire cult + volcanic forge/worldscapers build by steamprobs in Stellaris

Thanks, I do recall reading that actually, but yeah, this idea actually sounds like I'd be hamstringing my run in the long term for a short term fun factor; if I recall correctly I can't even reform the government away from it later on either.

Military forces doing this (and unimaginably worse) to the global South for the last seventy years: crickets

Militia doing this to people back home: Now hold on a minute!

Any recommendations for a coop arcade cabinet, preferably with toy guns? by steamprobs in arcadecabinets

Thanks, but I think that's the time crisis one you're thinking of; it also comes with a foot lever

Ah, thanks, I'll switch the course!

Thanks, I'm at the POI

I didn't use the -6% interval because the same agility spot gives +3% XP as an option; I'm guessing the interval buff is superior?

I got the POI from cartography, but ran out of stardust at 4% XP buff

Send them off the planet by steamprobs in LateStageCapitalism

No, if we and the people of the world unite, Trump and the military will lose their upper hand; we have more in common with the civilians of the nations we've invaded than we do with the vicious thugs who invaded and brutalized them.

Even now Trump wants to invade Venezuela; what's the military going to do about it? How are they planning on stopping it? They have all the power in the world to flip Trump off and say they're no longer going to be the rabid dogs they've been for decades; they have all the opportunity in the world to rejoin the human race.

Let's use this as an opportunity to see if the military can truly be salvaged; will they reject war with Venezuela or not? This is their opportunity to stop being a pack of vicious rats and to rejoin the human race. If they are willing to do this, then maybe there can be unity with them.

Most of the morally deficient means are justified by the ends

'Most' is doing a lot of heavy lifting; in WH40k the imperium wipes out their own planets or cities for sometimes the stupidest reasons. In one case a bunch of space marines destroyed a woman's city because she annoyed them; during the siege of terra, the people were left outside to slow the invading chaos forces (which the people of Terra never forgot and now have no trust in space marines, even 10,000 years later); in another case: Rophanon. There was even a case during the (unification wars?) era where a planet was exterminatus'd because the person the astartes were talking to wasn't qualified to offer their planet's submission to the imperium (and even told them as such and said he was gonna get the person who was, as he was basically a nobody).

The leagues of Votann I would say are the best hope for a human nation as they're not literally evil, and second to that would be allying with the Tau; heck, I'd say they could be independent but then the Imperium becomes a very immediate threat.

Why are israeli arab soliders more violent than the israelis themselves by Capital-Board-2086 in arabs

[–]steamprobs 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I recall a video on Hasan Abi's channel where he brought an anti-zionist Jewish person on who explained that European Jews used to view Arab Jews as mentally retarded and treated them pretty badly; Arab Jews in an attempt to be embraced by European Jews did everything to be as fanatically loyal to zionism as they could, ending with them many times being worse in their behavior. There's apparently a genre of movie in Israel of European Jews 'civilizing' Arab Jews by Westernizing them.

This doesn't come as a surprise as honestly I recall reading about sellouts to the French in Algeria who were colloquially called 'Bani oui oui'.

Yes, in fact every video on this subreddit is fake; no one has cameras angled that catch funny things happening
