Nice, was able to figure this one out on my 2nd attempt.

Phew, that one was crazy, so many pieces involved in the defense.

Huh, will be interested to try this and see what changes they implemented to ‘modernize’ it. I used to mod the hell out of Civ3 back in the day, but I also remember the base game being pretty solid.

LMFAO. This meme makes me second-hand embarrassed for Europeans. For 3 reasons.

First, it is politically illiterate and whoever made it is clearly not a serious person.

Second, pretending you’re in Star Wars? Really?

Third, you have not and will never be the ‘good guys’ in any sort of fight, as long as you are a union of capitalist nations still feasting off of the stolen wealth of the global south.

It’s about time the ‘average American’ started questioning what the fuck this system is doing. Many of us have only been trying to show them how messed up it is for the past 250 years or so.

Seriously though, it really is way more tense than I have ever seen it. The kinds of political conversations I am having with neighbors and coworkers are ones that I never would’ve imagined being able to have even 5 years ago.

After they ban all of the direct, existing investments in Israel, then yes, that would be a next move I would support. Hell, if they just sold (or threatened to sell) a large portion of the US Treasury bonds they hold, I imagine China could really put the screws on both imperialist, settler-colonial projects.

I am not knowledgeable enough to know what the full ripple effects of such a sell off would be, but I imagine China would prefer to coordinate something like that (or wide-reaching sanctions) with other countries, rather than moving unilaterally. But Ra knows the US deserves to be sanctioned into the ground for their actions on the international stage.

it’s about time. they could do more, but it’s a start.

uate.net

Yeah, he’s tried some lagers of various origins, and didn’t like any of those. He doesn’t seem to like IPAs either. Off the top of my head that’s all I’ve “offered” him, aside from the Belgian and trappist ales he loves. Just to be clear, I never let him straight up drink it (no drunk kitties allowed, lol), I only offer him the little bit of residual liquid on the rim of the bottle/glass when I finish. The only exception was the 1 or 2 times I caught him lapping from a full glass back in the day, before I knew better than to keep it out of his reach.

Go on then, git!!

My cat does similar when smelling most foods/drinks I may be having, but will straight up start eating anything with egg in it (like challah bread). He also will drink any beer that is Belgian or a trappist ale.

We previously had a cat that ate salsa, and her brother ate an entire sub once. That was pretty funny.

If a rabid pit bull was out in the streets attacking the elderly and children, ripping their faces off, you’d be telling everyone to just stay back and make soothing sounds, or offer it a treat, rather than trying to stop it before it does more damage. Self-reflect a little bit and do better next time.

“values-based”

I guess unlimited greed at the expense of non-whites is a “value”. He deserves a little credit for saying it openly now, but still.

Instead of: Of course they’re going to say they like their government, otherwise they’ll be punished

Say: I am a western chauvinist who thinks people in the global south lack agency

He is a beast on the tennis courts, makes sense.

This article is so heartbreaking, but people should definitely read it. I am not very well-informed on what the Nakba involved, so this was eye-opening. Like wtf, it’s as if the Zionists just took the genocidal baton from the Nazis and said ‘thank you, we got it from here’. I appreciate you linking it, as much as it hurt to read.

This poor man and his family. They just straight up murdered him.

USian liberals clinging to the hope that the ‘rule of law’ will prevail need to wake the fuck up. Just because it protected your (likely lily-white) ass in the past, that time is over. They’re coming for EVERYONE that opposes this shit, not just indigenous, black, and brown folk. We were never protected by the system in the first place, so this is unfortunately nothing new to us.
