Godamnit. It’s so hard to guess which parts of the world suck from incompetence and which ones from active evil nowadays.

The US needs its own Palestinian Action group to block these things.

What is that?

Or the other way around, and China was like, “Alright let’s deal, what do you want?” And the US was like “Idk, what can you give us?” And China was like “Wtf? You’re the on. Who started this?!”

How do people get into embedded programming? A couple of answers here have mentioned it. Would the best way be to buy an Arduino or raspberry pi or something like that and then pick a random tutorial or project to tinker around with them?

I leave my stuff there? So someone can just root around my stuff the days I’m not there?

Ya that’s even better.

Sounds like they needed it, too. It would not have been worth everyone dying to hold onto it for another two levels lol.

I agree.

Rule #1: Have fun
Rule #2: Don’t ruin other people’s fun.

I would say they’re equally important in ttrpg’s. And both seemed to have been followed here judging from people’s reactions.

Hm. Ya I might be mistaken, maybe Israel never has begged. If Trump’s ego feels hurt by Israel and we split from them that would be amazing, but I’m not holding my breath.

But all the evidence tells me Trump doesn’t care about the grander US imperial ambitions unless it’s a direct and obvious reward, like physical tribute or territory. So in contrast to Biden, if we steel man those leaks and give the most charitable explanation that while Biden did not like Bibi, he give him shit anyway because he’s a neoliberal who believes in Israel’s importance to the US global imperial project; I don’t think Trump would prioritize that over the feeling that Netanyahu is making him look like a chump. That would be amazing if they both don’t think they need each other due to oversized egos, Israel goes to Europe who no doubt would provide worse military support than the USA’s, So there’s my pie in the sky, bloomer thought experiment.

Imagine if Trump became the lesser evil candidate because of his ego. He doesn’t like Bibi’s entitled tone and decides to pull weapon shipments until Israel decides to give up mineral rights or something dumb like that.

The fact that he’s taken the position he has with Ukraine tells me it’s possible with Israel. We give a ton to them without getting anything direct and obvious back, which should go against his sensibilities.

“it was me, folks. I did it. I got us an American pope.”

When you combine power moves with pettiness lol. It really does sound like a joke, like something from the Onion even.

Holy crap lol

Would hate for Saudi Arabia to have nukes, but having to take normalization with Israel off the table when they were so close to doing that before October 7th is good news. The genocidal backlash is awful but at least Hamas was able to accomplish this by putting eyes back on their condition.

But that trend was reversed on Thursday, and Prevost’s name had popped up repeatedly amid the gossip over leading contenders for the role of pontiff.

Haha hahaha yeah sure buddy

I thought he was going to be more conservative Benedict level to follow the current trend of the rising right, so I’m actually surprisingly pleased with this pick. But like I said, my expectations were through the floor. His true test will be his views on Gaza.

Can anyone who knows what Netanyahu is like as a person tell me if he can bring himself to beg and prostrate like Trump clearly wants him to? Zelensky barely could although he tried a couple times.

Part of me feels like Israel is used to doing that so it should be no problem, but part of me also knows that he just spent 2.5 years doing whatever he wants to Biden and still getting all he needs, so that probably built up some arrogance that might be hard to shake.

Laundry thing?

Lol that’s some grade A cope
