Imagine only being able to strike a meaningful blow to your enemy by killing 1000 civilians in the process. And being proud of that? That's pathetic, the actions of no-tactic tacticians. Fucking mindless animals.

It's not normal for them to see missiles targeting military bases instead of schools and hospitals.

This makes sense, but equally I think if you're on the world stage and not a complete stooge for American and Israeli propaganda, you surely know who is better. And Iran must know that the west is going to twist the narrative in whatever way they wish regardless of the outcome or how many courtesies they offer.

But of course I will always understand the need to show whatever caution you can to avoid being flattened by a bully as big as the US, even if that caution is grasping at straws.

I mean yeah, that's what they should definitely do, but is there some rule they're trying to follow? I mean, why are they doing it? The US' intentions and threats are already clear, it's not like giving them a heads up is going to stop the retaliation if one is coming.

Just goes to show none of these evil fuckers has the slightest clue about the reality of what they cheer on and support. Hope the hellfire offers some perspective.

How much of a heads up do they 'need' to give?

And a lot of dipshits are going to believe it.

Which is it? Which do you use? Are there different associations between them?

I've always said it "comrad," but when I started to meet people in orgs, they predominantly say "comrayd" (within the same country).

I loved DW3 as a kid. When I returned to it when I was a little older, I realised I loved it because I had a lot of time as a child. The game is fun and nostalgic for me, and has the makings of a great Digimon experience, but it's a huuuuuge grind fest. It simply does not respect your time at all. Large portions of the game are traversing a dungeon with random battles literally every 2 steps to find an NPC, only to retrace your steps to talk to another NPC, ONLY TO THEN BE TOLD TO RETURN TO THE FIRST. And there's literally no fast travel. I know it sounds on paper like standard 90's JRPG fare but even Pokémon had Fly... and Repels. You just waste so much time on unavoidable random battles, and they're slow because it's PS1 era stuff.

So yeah, I love it... in theory. The Digivolution mechanics are cool - every Digimon can evolve into every other Digimon, I literally printed out spreadsheets as a kid of digivolution conditions, but this aspect is also absurdly grindy. I don't think I could ever actually properly play it again with everything that entails as an adult.

Comrade, for the sake of your health, you have to step away, you have to put a barrier between yourself and these people. They're evil, we know they are, what they're cheering is a populated residential neighborhood being flattened to kill one man. They are devils walking the Earth. We can't expect any better from them, so don't let them into your mind, don't allow them in. It's nothing but poison. I've been there, and I feel the exact same emotions as you've voiced, every single thing you've said is something I've felt from the news and events alone, but you cannot allow the scum's reaction to push you over the edge.

Read the Gaza Q&A thread instead. If you've already read it, re-read it. Let the humanity wash over you instead, sorrow for them instead, and take to your heart their true belief in martyrdom instead.

One of the few celebrities I knew and cared about because I grew up watching Charmed, still one of my favourite shows to this day, before I stopped watching TV. Shannen died on 13th July of cancer.

And all I can think is... man, she was kind of a piece of work. She had been battling cancer for almost a decade on and off and I suppose had a long time to grapple with her mortality and come to terms with it. And in the end, it seems like what she chose was pettiness and bitterness.

She had a "long" list of people who weren't invited to her funeral, because they wouldn't be coming for "the right reasons." She reignited a feud in the Charmed community with Alyssa Milano, using her cancer as the reason she had to "get the truth out" about a television show 25 years after the fact. She finalised her divorce with her husband one day before her death, ~~presumably to prevent him from inheriting anything.~~ The last one is contentious because who knows what was happening behind closed doors but still, that's definitely one last 'fuck you.'

It makes me sad that she was filled with so much hate and bitterness that even in her dying moments, she only chose to amplify the bad than forgive and make peace. I'm not at all religious but I think it's a very human thing to want to seek peace and reconciliation in the end, before you can't anymore, and I was a little stunned to see her choice be to go out in a blaze of bitterness.

That's it. There's not really any point to this. I was just stunned. I never knew her and don't have any right to judge her, and I'm not, really, deep down. It's just something that made me a little sad and that I don't really understand. People sure are strange.

Four months of his life for this. Fuck pigs.

This SCOTUS ruling sets the precedent that the office of the Presidency is immune to any legal repercussions for crimes committed as part of an ‘official act’. Any president can now do whatever they want in office and face 0 consequences for it.

I mean, this is largely how it's always been, right? It's just now they're being super brazen about it?
