What I’ve done by linkin park, because of the “directed by micheal bay” meme

“Men only want one thing…”

I’d say that it depends on how healthy the economy is beyond the bubble

I got a feeling that something akin to the Great Depression is coming soon, and that there will be a repeat of the late 20s early 30s… could a new Roosevelt even appear again today?

In a normal reality, that’s what conservatism should be, a counterweight to the excesses of experimentation/reform/revolution. In our reality, slow clock, once in 10 years

The thing is, for the past 50 years, it seems everyone has become afraid of touching it. There have been so many ammendments, the constitution is made to be changed, get on with it

Cell carriers! Say that mastodon is essentially how you can text someone from a different carrier , but for Twitter

I believe that the human race is stupid, egotistical, irrational and self centred. Yet it is still able to create beauty, still able to show sacrifice, kindness.

I believe the world will only truly be lost when I (from my personal POV) stop believing in it. Until then, my corner of the world will be kept as clean as possible. To quote Charlie Chaplin “as long as dictators die, humanity will be free”

Ah yes, the good old random pile of unclear errors because you forgot to add the file in git thanks nix

I’ve also heard my share of rumours that during the mega sprint, there were discussions regarding trackpad gesture customisation… yay!

Besides, Iran is all the way over there and Cuba is right here

What do you mean Mark Zuckerbot isn’t perfect?

My hope was that Tisza would be 1 or 2 seats away from the super majority and there would be another opposition party (non orban, non nationalist) in parliament to actually be there to stamp things

You’re telling me the same guys that made up…- erm I mean, created the fifa peace prize would refuse to move the World Cup from a host that started a war? surprised pickachu

When I said somewhat smart the emphasis was on somewhat, and I meant, the least dumb option that he was likely to take (am not counting just exiting, cause he is who he is)

If they were even somewhat smart, they’d be blocking just Iranian shipping.

Still less dumb and less war crimes than bombing civilian infrastructure

Try to think like the great dumbass for a minute:

Iran has said they want to keep the toll system in place after the war

Therefore if you just leave now, everyone will be very mad at you at toll

Therefore only way out is escalating. An invasion is expensive, unpopular, and unlikely to work. They’re already bombing Iran, so not that.

What remains is a naval blockade. Because they’re dumbasses, they didn’t just decide to block Iranian shipping, but instead essentially block all remaining shipping.

It’s less dumb than other options, and less war crimes and killing civilians

Question is, if you’re Ronald McDonald and simply pull out, and Iran keeps asking for a toll, you just get a pure loss. A blockade is the only way, that maybe, you can improve your negotiating position for “cheap”. It will backfire for sure though

Obviously the smart play was not to invade at all

I’d say it’s the only somewhat smart play he has left
