I bet the French have. Rioting is their national pastime, are you mildly upset by something, then better set fire to fiat twingo while wearing a yellow fluorescent jacket. Don't worry that it doesn't make sense, do it anyway.

He doesn't know that Denmark Norway a different places does he.

Except I'm not American. There are subtle hints.

Also why are you talking about yourself in the third person. Did you perhaps mean to switch accounts?

We're prepared to take Cape Canaveral but the rest of it can be tossed. No one wants to deal with Miami

I don't know what history books you've read but the United States has a very long and documented history of not winning wars. Especially when their own population are so against it.

Meanwhile Russia is in no state to threaten anyone. What little they have in terms of military assets are tied up in Ukraine. If they try to attack Europe they'd get flattened in about 2 minutes.

Anyway it looks like trump's probably going to get impeached and presumably he doesn't want that to happen so he's unlikely to actually start World War III for reasons of self-preservation.

Translation for anyone that needs it

The EU is expected to wait with tougher measures after Donald Trump's recent tariff threat and wants to negotiate primarily, Politico reports, citing sources.

This weekend, the EU discussed tariffs on US goods worth nearly SEK 1,000 billion and the possibility of activating the EU's so-called trade bazooka, Anti-Coercion Instrument (ACI), which could mean that access to the EU's internal market is closed off.

But so far there is no majority of member states to activate ACI, despite pressure from France, the sources say.

Instead, the strategy is to wait and see what Trump actually does. No sharp decisions are expected at this week's extraordinary EU summit on 22 January. Any major decisions are expected at the earliest in early February, the newspaper said.

It's a pretty ironically named option because it requires a 1-year consultation process. It's hardly speedy and dynamic.

I'm more interested in the virtual screens than the AR aspect. I'm perfectly fine to do this in a VR office I really don't need to see the real world when doing this.

I got a detention for using my backpack full of books as a lethal weapon. I have the English anthology in there and that's a big book, it does some serious blood force trauma damage. It's an awful book though.

Apparently that started a trend so the school introduced a rule that said that all backpacks must be put in lockers at the start of each day. Which was stupid because the lockers weren't big enough for that. So everyone was forced to carry their books to and from school by hand.

Maybe a hot take but I stand by it.

Red Faction: Armageddon. It was just so very boring and inferior to its 3-year-old predecessor. THQ actually tried to claim that no one was interested in the franchise anymore because of the lacklustre sales of that game. But the franchise is excellent, Armageddon was just a bad game.

It looks like he got a stern talking to and couldn't take it.

I guess his flack jacket doesn't protect against harsh words

I feel like most of the emergency sessions are just everyone going "what the absolute fuck is going on".

Even Gandhi would sanction the assassination of this moron.

 

When you reveal a spoiler the black rectangles go away and it then renders the text in white, but on a white background (light coloured theme) The text renders is exactly the same colour as the background and so you can not see it unless you highlight the post, this renders the background of the post as light grey and there is just about enough contrast difference to now read the text.

When spoiler text is revealed it should render in the same colour as normal text. I'm not sure why it's white.

See images below for demonstration.
