They’ll use anything they want against you, whether it’s a Marxist academic phrase like “critical theory”, corpo jargon like “DEI”, or online slang phrases like “stay woke”. Hence the phrase “When I feed the poor, they call me a saint. When I ask why the poor have no food, they call me a Communist”. You can say the most innocuous thing and they’ll spit blood at you.

So it’s abbreviated as Ontario, CA? That’s great.

That’s not really what the US military ever does though, right? Normally they lumber in with bombers and poorly armoured jeeps and build a big base with a Burger King in the middle of it, then continue to bombard the surrounding countryside for about a decade or two before leaving in disgrace.

Yeah, the bills don’t circulate normally anywhere except the US. Even in the couple of countries that are dollarized that’s not normal circulation and is quite precarious. The digital dollars only exist in the computers of bankers and are basically spreadsheet placeholders for whatever currencies are actually used at the origin and destination of whatever material thing is being traded around the world.

If by “a few years ago” you mean 1975. NASA has been making promises that it can’t keep for about half a century now.

There’s a lot of tragedy in that photo. The massive ecological waste of suburban McMansions and luxury trucks, the inequality of these bloated two-garage monstrosities while people are forced to sleep on the street, the genocide of the indigenous people who used to inhabit this land, the brutal and blood-soaked American state that rules it, etc etc etc.

Then prepare to be surprised when you play it.

It runs fine under emulation, but it’s the worst game in the series by a very wide margin.

The amount of British monarchs is also weird. Why on Earth is Charles II on this list?

I expect a shitty chain’s salsa to usually be chopped onions floating in tomato water.

About 24 years ago most of these countries didn’t follow the US to Iraq either. The big difference is the UK and Australia not going.

Bibliophile is what book lovers call themselves. I’m not sure about painting, but it’s probably also something in Latin or Greek.
