Who saw that comi… who saw where that came from!?

Still with the weasel words. The word “Consistent” allows for a degree of separation between two things, saying they are alike but not the same. What they should say is “Israel’s warfare in Gaza is genocide”

Ok… but to argue that to privatize war making to the lowest bidder sounds like the premise to a libertarian monkey paw nightmare. Like current mercenaries track record with human rights violations is…well poor would be an understatement. And what is the issue you have with NATO?

And this is what you are arguing that trump will do? Or should do? And you are aware of its full consequences?

That sounds really bad. Apologies but if this is all sarcasm, that is lost on me. I got people arguing that Trump helping Isreal finish the genocide quickly with be good for the Palestinians who live through it, and so sarcasm is long dead.

Right…i think the metaphor train has derailed here.

What possible action do you think the military could be ordered to do, that will harm its capability to wage war, and will not result in even more innocent people getting killed than the regular levels of evil? Or is this a ‘acceptable collateral damage as long as its not me’ type of thing?

The military will be effective at what ever it’ll do. You should hope it maintains some sanity at least. Like a loaded gun won’t jam just because a crazy person picked it up.

I would say it’s worse than that. Like knowing that you are selling exp boosters changes the calculus on how exp is earned. If the game played smoothly, there would be no need to sell the boosters and creating the eco system to support it would have been wasted. A system where certain items are nft based would push for these items to be better then the non nft items both for expectation of value, and to raise the trade value to siphon from. This already happens with games with dlc cosmetics. The gear in the games looks increasingly shit compared to the DLC. And that is a natural consequence of polluting the game space.

But why honor other companies tokens? Hell why honor your old tokens? You make the effort to create assets in your new game, are you going to just give it to a limited number of players who play both game for free, or resell it to all players? If you buy an nft for a game that then gets ignored, was it any different then a DLC, or using the steam market place to trade the item? After all i have read i don’t see where this helps players at all, and for companies, the only benefit i can see is if they pump and dump their players.

Whelp, there goes that hope. Back to being angry.

Damn, i only just learned how to close the darn thing! Didn’t know the rabbit hole goes so deep.

Still liked emoticons better. The emojis all look cursed. But i am sure someone will misinterpret those too

This is satire right?

Who wants to pay to find out?

Holy shit. I have read the whole damn thing…. And I walk away with far less respect for the ADL, and the news media (somehow); more respect for wikipedia; that I recognize editors of wikipedia here; and that the ADL considers me anti-Semitic because I disagree with what Israel is doing.

As far as i can tell, Biden is historically pro isreal. Openly refers to himself as a zionist. His religion demands that isreal gains power in order to attempt to make the bible only embarrassingly incorrect. His parents instilled in him that due to WWII the Jews are justified in taking the land and this includes their current encroachment. He has been the main and highest paid donar recipient of pro isreal groups for his 5 decades in politics . Changing course now would force a critical evaluation of his 5 decades of blindly giving unwavering support to Israel and recognition that Palestinians are people. Also the US has made enemies of everyone in the region, and Israel gives us a “foot hold” there.

All this makes the finding of a genocide a mere consideration for his polling numbers.

“ I will renew my information with the conscription office when the time comes, until then, give me my passport,” a man named Maksym told the BBC. “

-Maksym never would renew his information. For him the time could never come.

Its true, I don’t want to work. I would wager that any person that won the lottery would quit his 9-5 the day of.

And yet the argument was never “do these places need to be independent?” But “can China be trusted with dominion over space based on how they treat international waters and their neighbors.” You will notice that i did not specify any particular action or event. But you are already here with excuses for events and actions. Hence me mentioning that you are making my argument for me. Because you did that i already know, you know i am right to not trust china, and also you have a vested interest in me not being right.
