The only thing it does outside their borders is burn through soft power.

Now given the motivation seems to be the increasingly boomeresque notion of oil = power, this is just another in a pretty catastrophically moronic combination of moves.

It must be so easy being one of the quislings in his ranks, you just need to tell him doing something abhorrent will lead him to power. He clearly hasn't got the mental faculties to: A. Identify a lie or B. Rebuke those who do lie. I'd almost feel sorry for him if he wasn't one of the worst examples of humanity to ever respire

Could be the other way, our brains nerfing the incredible flavour so we don't all die of hyperhydration

The particular person in question is miraculously both independently and a surprising third combination of the two

You can't just keep invading countries to distract from being a massive kiddy fiddler

All sorts of weird precedents are being set in the shameless kowtowing to the deluded traffic cone

Lawyers are going to be making any kind of weird argument based on some precedent set during this presidency for decades

They highlight the arrest of Republic anti-monarchy protesters during King Charles’s coronation, charges and arrests of pro-Palestinian demonstrators and long sentences for climate protesters as examples of the crackdown on the right to peaceful dissent.

Funny how the flag shaggers get a pass to literally travel across the country to batter police officers when a pensioner wearing a t-shirt gets arrested on sight

Why do these laws disproportionately affect progressive protesters, hm?

Great gameplay, but also a great soundtrack and general world aesthetic too

All neatly packaged in a game that doesn't outstay its welcome

Hard to imagine EA making anything like this today

I think it's a mostly automated voice with me saying my first name at one point

That's if it's still even enabled, I should check that...

Why, it's magnificent, that's what the fuck it is

Halfway down was a quote from the working-class-LARPer fascist, Stephen yaxley-lennon, that he's called for trump to invade the UK.

Unrelated, I'm pretty sure treason is the only thing we still have the death penalty for...

I mean, they do this kind of stuff anyway, just in broader strokes.

Ice cream is a classic example of something that's always on offer in the middle of winter because it's less in demand

Can you yanks do that "well armed militia" thing some of you have been banging on about in defense of mowing down children with automatic weapons?

If you do root cause analysis on most of society's ills, you pretty much always eventually arrive at "the economic and political system we use, is actively harmful to the vast majority of people"

Literally I can't think of a single big problem we're facing where this isn't the case.

I mean the ties between the British far right and Russia are vivid and many.

The political acumen of people in this country is fucking abysmal

I've never seen something so pointless that I've wanted more

I wish I still had time for advent of code...

I think I saw a thing once where someone with ARFID would literally only eat undercooked looking french fries.

I can understand if the restriction is something unhealthy, and nothing stopping quantity, I can see this scenario happening

I wonder if there are any investors in oil companies on Lemmy at all tbh

Like I've got a decent portfolio of investments, but I will never directly invest in oil (or military). Given the demographics here, I wonder if I'm a pretty typical investor or not

Fair observation, but conversely, this particular kind of populism very much started with the 20th century fascists, it's uncanny how similarly it's going now.

Especially in terms of what people would be taught and expected to know about; I think you'd struggle to find anyone in the developed world who doesn't know at least the basics about WW2.
