Yup I'm honestly with the investors and planners who say now you should invest asap in cat food and box wine because those markets will be booming with these people.
Pretty much. I personally find it hilarious when people like this or some of the lgbt community come out for this shit because it's like you don't have kids and you won't. Your ideology will die out with you.
They're definitely not the same people, at least them I have a modicum of respect for. I mean was there any real reason for that war? I helped fight in it and I couldn't tell you what or why it was for.
These people are just anarchists or communists falling into the "popular movement" just like all those falling in line during the Cultural Revolution. I don't think they realize they'd be lined up against the wall with everyone else.
God I hate when they say shit like this. If the founding fathers were alive today they'd be burning the fucking country to the ground just because of income tax alone let alone everything else.
Ahhh yes the tranny who posted pictures of a prisoner of war he executed on twitter and then tried to delete them.
I was really hoping he'd be gone after taking that artillery shell a year back.
Reminds me of a science class I took a few years back. My two favorite bits I remember were "Global warming is real and there is no debate" and the absolute batshit rants she would go on about stuff that was clearly not real.
My favorite was "Human cloning is real, and they are doing it at neighboring university", like wouldn't that be world news if that was true? Like how are you a professor of science? It was mind boggling she was saying this shit to 18 year olds.
Ehh even so, that evidence will be ignored by anyone in the west and he'll go right back to being tortured or just thrown in a ditch and shot. The fact that the war crime tranny reported that he "disappeared and hasn't been seen by anyone since being captured" doesn't bode well for him.
Fallout 3 also had The Pitt which for me definitely eclipsed and expanded the Tenpenny Tower arc.
It was honesty brilliant how they deconstructed the "Downtrodden freedom fighter" by showing that the rebellion was filled with assholes, had no plan to cure the people, and honestly don't know how to run the city. Every play through now I crush the rebellion because Ashur has a point. The people lived hard now under his rule, but they're building a juggernaut industrial powerhouse and when he eventually gives the reins to the people, they'll be unstoppable. Plus he has the best chance of getting a cure out there.
I mean was WW2 really any different? There was years of slow build up and war before that speech and the fiery entrance of the US.
Japan was going into China in '37 and most people didn't care. Even Lend Lease which is the most similar to the what we're doing with Ukraine was almost a whole year before Pearl.
When I rewatch the Phase One movies I always have to remember that because they do feel very different in tone and story then the later movies.
This happens quite a bit actually not even just with movies but in the games industry as well. Bioware being the biggest example off the top of my head.
You are right there, but I don't see them taking that path anytime soon especially if that's what they need to give up. Honestly they might as well go all in at this point.
True, but you have to win first before you set peace terms.
And the way their "counteroffensive" is going, I do not see that happening unless NATO fully steps in.
Why would they need to surrender though? The counteroffensive by the ukies has completely stalled and even more damning is that while they have taken some outlying villages they still haven't even hit the first main defense lines.
They have nothing to gain from surrendering, and if Crimea is the lynchpin for peace they will never ever give it up.
I mean we've been down this road before though, the last time it got this bad the people were so fed up they put Hitler and charge and we had the most destructive war in human history (That we know of).
We're just going to do it again.
I think it depends on how long it lasts, because this both hurts advertisers and the audience they would try to reach. Even if tomorrow everything was back to normal, it would definitely give them pause that the platform would do this to them with no notice.
It's very similar in concept to the whole seizing Russian assets shitshow that's going on. Yes America is one of the biggest markets and the reserve currency but if they can unilaterally steal your assets because "you did the wrong thing" would you want to keep any assets there or do business with them as a foreign nation?
So no one knows right now what counts as a "view" under the new limits. People seem to be locked out when they look at one twitter thread that has replies over the limit. When I logged in today, I was only had able to view one thread (Which was Musk's) before it started "limiting" me.
I'm not alone in this, there's quite a bit of discussion today and similar among alot of people. Even refreshing a page for many people is enough to hit the limit and lock the site.
Rumors around right now is that they didn't pay their bills. I guess their contract with Google Cloud expired today because of their refusal to pay so I wonder if it's because of that. "Rate limit" until they pay or find a new cloud provider.
In the meantime they are probably fielding many angry phone calls from their advertisers. I mean you can't even view ads when you hit the limit, it's almost comical.
I mean gloating or not are they wrong? How can you run a social media company by making it unable to be used it for any social use?
Literally reading one tweet from Musk sends you over the limit and locks you out for the day. He says it's a temporary measure but how many people and advertisers will leave in the meantime? Its fundamentally unusable right now.
Does the context matter if the site is unusable though? Like I get fighting against the rampant AI scraping but when the average user can only use the site for minutes before being locked, why would ever come back? Why would any advertiser engage with Twitter if no one is able to see any ads?
I agree that people have bemoaned "Twitter will die" since Musk took over but this legitimately might do it.
Like you can physically lock yourself out of the site in minutes, how can that function as any kind of social media? Hilariously you can't even read Musk's own tweet about the limits if you accidentally went over.
Oh absolutely, even in the latest "Russian warcrime of hitting a totally civilian pizzeria", the subsequent videos showed that everyone there were soldiers speaking in American accents and wearing American combat patches.
I mean more in the broader overt sense. There's been concerning official talk about the upcoming NATO summit that ground troops will be sent into the conflict zone.
I have heard tidbits similar to that on the internet in different forums. Pretty much if you meet a girl who's on birth control from the beginning you meet her, the relationship may go south quick if she ever gets off of it if you're not compatible. It's very interesting because there's so many things that probably make up attraction that we don't know about and literally throwing a wrench into natural fertility probably doesn't help at all.
We'll be lucky to make it 5 years with the way things are going. They're already talking about putting ground troops into Ukraine to fight Russia and it's only a matter of time til the Pacific region is on fire again as well.
Absolutely, exercise has had the clearest effect and benefit on every single facet of my life and my depression.
My favorite Andrew Tate thing has said was that if you're truly depressed and suicidal, give it a chance and go for a six pack. You have nothing to lose by trying and by the time you probably have a six pack you will have changed the things in your life that are making you that depressed.
A little out of left field, but the complete Metal Gear Solid V. I mean yes you can pick up a copy off a shelf right now but the game itself is unfinished and with Kojima off doing walking sims it will never be.
Like a full third of the game was never finished, mission 51 was only the tip off the iceberg with the behind the scenes knowledge we have today. Complete story arcs, characters, gameplay systems, hell the actual ending of the game all cut or just not finished.
I am eternally curious to know what actually happened between Kojima and Konami. You don't see that treatment in Japanese businesses especially with someone that beloved and of that level of status in a company.
