Getting goaded into a slapfight with some clout chaser because he called you a bitch is black behaviour.

It's getting off topic, but some of the stories out of the Soviet OKBs are enlightening in this regard. Meet the State's unreasonable demands or you'll be scapegoated as a "wrecker" and either shipped off to a slave labour camp or executed outright.

The first half is wrong. Gal Gadot isn't some stain on the DCU or the Fast and Furious franchise. Ezra Miller is far worse for the former, and her bad acting is less of a problem than the writing.

The second half is half wrong. He's correct that people do like a good-looking woman in uniform and that's often the face of the IDF people see, but his objection to this is that it humanises people who are fighting his preferred brand of bastard and winning. I don't hate someone who is anti-Israel because they think the balance of probabilities favours their willing involvement in the development of the J-10 and not espionage, but I would not mourn the extinction of the Palestinian Muslim.

Hasan Piker is a communist, a traitor and a parasite. You need to fuck off if you think he's a man worth listening to.

I found out about this earlier today. Apparently it's the #1 song in the "New York Times bestseller" sense, with about $3,000 in sales.

I've listened to other AI generated music and enjoyed it despite its flaws, but wasn't fond of this one. I think whoever produced it is more soulless than their tools, because they had the opportunity to create anything they wanted and chose a generic country song.

In principle, foreign students are a good thing. Like tourism, it's an export industry for a service. But that's assuming the students are coming here in good faith, not as cheap labourers or foreign spies.

I was also skeptical, but here's a better source.

Yes, they've finally emerged from the smoking crater that the Rey trilogy left in the franchise and are making a "Mandalorean and Grogu" movie.

I was initially extremely skeptical of Edge of Tomorrow, but when I eventually watched it I was pleasantly surprised. They did actually justify the middle-aged Tom Cruise playing the role of a green recruit by having him press-ganged into this unit as a punishment for cowardice.

I've never read the manga and that anime looks ugly as sin.

Which is a more secure environment in which to raise a family: a house with a mortgage, or a rented house or apartment? Allowing young working adults to put down roots is good for society.

The problem with that is the one the US has right now: the treason party will hold the good spending hostage until you let them staple free food for foreign invaders onto the bill.

I've been hating on Funko for twenty years. I don't collect Nendoroids but I can appreciate the art style. Funko Pops are just ugly.

commies dont go after banks.

Stalin was literally a bank robber.

Your link says it's a hoax by some jpg-poster on Instagram.

I was thinking post-WW2 Germany, when they decided that handing orphans to pedophiles was a good way to radicalise the children into being leftists.

It should be a stupid question. If the moderator asks them what their first foreign visit will be, saying you have no intentions to make foreign visits should be the default answer - unless you're visiting another port city to discuss shipping, foreign relations are not your job.

And here's what their abominable intelligence had to say about the full quote:

The phrase "the rewards of tolerance are treachery and betrayal" is a well-known quote from the Warhammer 40,000 science fiction setting. It reflects the grim and dark tone of the franchise, suggesting that in a universe of constant conflict and hostile forces, showing tolerance is a weakness that can be exploited by enemies, leading to your downfall.

• Origin: The quote originates from the 40,000 series created by Games Workshop. It has been featured in various rulebooks and lore materials, such as the 4th Edition Rulebook.

• Context: In the fictional universe of Warhammer 40,000, there is an unending war between many alien and human factions. The quote is used to emphasize the idea that in such a hostile environment, tolerance is a dangerous luxury that can lead to one's destruction.

• Meaning: The saying implies that being open or lenient to potential threats (heretics, aliens, etc.) will ultimately be repaid with betrayal from those who are tolerated. This aligns with the series' tagline, "In the grim darkness of the far future, there is only war".

• Alternative perspective: While the quote is famous within its fictional context, a broader perspective on tolerance acknowledges that it can have positive outcomes like empathy, understanding, and cooperation in the real world. However, this does not negate the quote's existence or its intended meaning within the Warhammer 40,000 setting.

Nick telling Tucker he sincerely admires Stalin is a massive WTF moment, but none of them are capable of seizing on it because it would require a complex critique of Nick's positions.

Does it? I'd think "Get in the helicopter, you commie freak," would suffice.

Some of them did, but that's why we don't have dodos any more.

Just assume there's a "Mohammad" in there somewhere.

Who here ever said that a jeet was "based", exactly?

Do Gurkhas count?

Obama's State Department backed the Islamists trying to overthrow Assad for the same reason it backed the Euromaidan revolution: because Syria and Ukraine were Russian allies.

Pretty much. It's degenerates gambling on an investment that is driven purely by the greater fool theory: buy an overpriced item now so you can sell it at an even higher price to someone else, who is looking to sell it for even more to a third fool.... Good investments are by some means a productive asset - they have a source of incoming money other than the investors themselves.

The price of knife and glove skins ("mythic rares") is now tied to the price of Covert skins ("rares") because of an update that allows you to trade in Covert skins for knife and glove skins, where previously I would presume Covert skin prices were depressed by degenerates gambling for the knife and glove skins and selling the Covert skins as bycatch.

While I can't say it is true, I can see how it could be true: it's easier to hide illegal prostitution in a pile of legal prostitution than it is on its own.
