I remember how utterly stupid this whole thing was when it first started.

It wasn’t even worth making fun over because it just confirmed they care more about saving donkeys than civilians or children.

Even more insane when you consider that in the west bank, they just opt to slaughter the livestock to ensure Palestinians are financially ruined before kicking them out or killing them.

Yeah as long as they have Saudi in the name, it won’t be anything “new” or “different”

People forgetting even if Trump will be or had been assassinated, Vance would just take his place and continue the train. Besides, Iran has been claiming they can do this since forever with nothing to show for it.

I remember this article was suspiciously titled similar to another one from a different outlet about a Gazan teenager who suffered loss of limbs and family, while sheltering outside a a school in a makeshift refuge camp.

Almost as if CNN saw it and wanted to do a reverse take.

Nah I’m betting NATO does jack all and continues to be subservient to the USA.

It’s like watching a “how much can they get away with” show with no practical limit.

A much easier way to start WW3 would be for a sizable country to copy the US, like China taking Taiwan.

The reason is that the US itself has to be on board with an opponent that threatens to do the same thing, meaning they’ll lose “territory”.

Proton-GE is essentially bleeding edge with all of its dependencies and upstream set to latest, so it gets updated constantly as a rolling release.

Valve waits until the next version has been well tested before bumping it in proton experimental, and then eventually the default release.

I know Proton-GE usually takes a week or two.

Gonna keep spamming this cuz I made it a year ago and it sat in a random folder on my PC for the perfect time lol

The reasoning is that HTS was able to secure a reliable supply line from Turkey, immediately absorbed the eastern Kurds, and now they basically follow American and Israeli requirements no questions asked.

Actually out of all the things listed, removing Assad was probably the easiest and cheapest to pull off, and they likely would have succeeded without the supply line. They just made it happen faster and ensured they have leverage in Syria for the foreseeable future.

CIA has been on fire these past couple of years.

Trampled Imran Khan in Pakistan and perma froze the military regime into power

Toppled Assad after Russia went broke

Captured Maduro with some high level bribes

Played with Israel to essentially dismantle Iran’s internal power structure and consistently set back their nuclear program dozens of times.

They got basically everything they’ve wanted on their hitlist since 2000. I’d be genuinely surprised if Iran can survive past this decade.

I don’t really see how this is any different than 50 or 20 years ago, they’re just stating their geopolitical stance.

More to the point, as others have mentioned, it would be exceedingly difficult to invade Taiwan and capture their fabs intact.

Actually it wouldn’t even matter if they captured them intact because the US could just eliminate the supply line, making it unideal for production to continue for several years.

And unlike Ukraine, the US actually has a lot of interest and dependency on Taiwan, meaning they would get militarily invovled immediately.

China’s only benefit would be the elimination of the world’s primary chip manufacturing, and unrestricted access to the Pacific ocean.

I only see them doing it after they’ve achieved complete independence from Taiwan’s fabs in their own supply chain.

ITT: Ubuntu (and downstream) users crying that they dont have a one click Nvidia solution like literally every other competent distro.

sudo dnf install akmod-nvidia

Seriously though, this is still the same problem on windows. If you switch from AMD to Nvidia, it’ll load a generic display driver until you install the Nvidia one either through windows updates (heavily outdated) or GeForce Now (heavy bloat).

At least Linux gives you Nouveau instead of throwing you into a 480p fallback output.

Uh, does anyone in this thread even know how to kill a lobster?

I feel like this is barely a problem, you usually slice into its head and then immediately boil to avoid any chance of rapid bacteria breakdown. I dont even know if theres any other practical method aside from boiling without slicing into the head.

Also not to be that guy, but is this really such a massive concern that the government needs to focus on right now? Seems like they are more concerned about handling lobsters than their own citizens after they labeled Palestine Action a terrorist group and had anyone supporting them arrested and charged as such.

This is probably the more tame opinions of the Indian supreme court.

Pretty sure they are completely on-board with ethnic cleansing.

You joke but I can totally see some dude full squatting with a knockoff AK lmao.

If people are used to squatting as the default sitting position, it’s only a matter of when lol.

War Thunder devs refusing to look at 50 year old NATOPS manuals because of “confidentiality” and then proceeding to buff Russian slop has me convinced Putin plays the game to cope with his losses in Ukraine.

I got banned from that sub back in the ye olde days for posting the following picture in like a 50 comment deep meme thread on a random article involving Pakistan:

1992 Imran Khan shooting practice

Trying to figure out if this means Trump’s brokered peace with India & Pakistan will also crumble just as fast, or if they’ll wait another 5 years before doing another air battle.

I’m more surprised they aren’t spam locking to have the RWR jukebox tracking alerts lol
