My guess would be that as France tried to recover from WWII they stubbornly tried to claw back their imperial holdings, basically starting the Vietnam War and probably some other more minor conflicts that I’m not remembering right now.

Not that you should expect good faith reasoning from .mlgrad.

It’s somewhat like Dark Souls in that there’s appeal in mastering the enemies you fight in predicting their moves and timing your own. Finding a weapon that jives with you, buildcrafting, etc. It is a circular gameplay loop in that you kill monster, cut them up, use pieces to make gear, use gear to hunt better monsters…but that’s not a bad thing I think.

It can be a more challenging game than it might seem on its face, especially Freedom Unite, and especially with the limited control schemes of the older portable consoles. I started with 4U and find I struggle going back to it after playing World and Rise.

Even with concealed carry, which is basically every state these days.

Even if its illegal to carry, don’t count on these thugs to follow the law.

Even if the person intimidating you is unarmed, they have been known to be supervised by concealed groups of thugs armed with anything from bludgeons to AR-15s in order to turn the tide against someone standing up to them.

Call the police, don’t get carried away on principle and put yourself in danger.

80f in New Jersey right now. The northeast.

Supposed to be 85f tomorrow.

Your housing budget shouldn’t be 2/3 of your income.

Many people have no choice in the matter.

Straight to Leavenworth.

What is with people and self-snitching? Do they need attention that much?

Ukraine also uses many civilian-sourced vehicles, including for moving troops. It is not inherently a war crime. It is frankly necessary when both sides are losing vehicles to enemy action constantly.

Give em a little bridal garter on their landing gear

I think DPRK’s hope is that at least some soldiers and officers will return with some modern combat experience, something that their military organization is dreadfully lacking. It could end up being a bigger problem down the road for ROK even if they lose a few thousand bodies.

I thought that the solution there has always been to bury it in desert bunkers for 10,000 years.

If we’re still around by the time that becomes too cumbersome we are hopefully space-faring and then yeeting it into Jupiter becomes an option.

Well it’s a salt rifle, not a salt assault rifle.

If we are unwilling to enforce consequences for what he is doing now, why mull about the potential to do so later? How bad does it have to get for us to take tangible action against Israel?

This sounds like something a White House press secretary would say to cover for the usual jaded American realpolitik motives behind what we are doing.

A white supremacist fever dream fanfiction in which American whites rise up under white supremacy and slaughter all people of color and “race traitors” in the country on the oft-cited “Day of the Rope.” It culminates with the movement taking control of the US nuclear arsenal and taking their holocaust international.

“Organization heavily involved in global shipping says we are on the right track for emissions control”

I dunno man…

The fact is that multiple third parties, including the UN, have confirmed the countless atrocities being committed by the IDF.

The fact is that Israel has murdered a considerable number of aid workers from said third parties.

The fact is that the IDF is trying its damndest to keep aid from getting to civilians in Gaza, so they can continue their ethnic cleansing.

The fact is that the ICC is seeking an arrest warrant for Netanyahu for these crimes.

The fact is that in a just world, there would be a NATO coalition bombing the IDF into the fucking dirt right now like we did with Milosevic’s Yugoslavia.

I thought tankies generally liked to point out the hypocrisy of the Western “rules based order” and generally took the side of Palestine or even Hamas in this conflict?

This looks like garden variety hasbara to me.

It was never really more than a tech demo from my understanding. You had to muzzle-load the projectiles by hand, there wasn’t a practical reloading mechanism.

That, and if there was ever a timing issue with the firing sequence or a misfired round, it would be like firing a round after a squib load I would guess.

Abortions aren’t contagious, but infectious diseases are, so you have a civic responsibility to protect yourself and therefore the greater whole.

You thought you had something there, huh.

You can get surprisingly far by making people laugh.

There are fan projects like 2009scape that you can play for free.
