So many people go through really weird contortions to avoid saying anything about Israel’s involvement any of this human suffering

And before anyone says anything, intelligence (and I’m not talking about IQ but intelligence as a trait) is probably normally distributed just like every other human trait, meaning that the mean is the median

Witcher 3 was pretty damn buggy on release too. Not Cyberpunk level buggy, but still

I dunno, he’s creepy enough that he probably ate them.

By “them” I meant the hookers. Not the shovels, that’d be weird.

I wonder who the terrorists are. One good bet could be separatists from one of Russia’s colonies (ie. “republics” etc. People often don’t realize that Russia is still a colonialist state).

Well, separatists or disgruntled vets. Plenty of those to go around – and they’re mostly ethnic minorities too so could be a double whammy.

Edit: or a false flag! Wouldn’t be Putin’s first false flag “terrorist” attack, either

Revenge of the Edit: I forgot about the March 8th US embassy warning about an imminent terrorist attack in Moscow, which could be tied to IS – although the embassy didn’t give any further information than “shit’s goan go down”

Eric’s probably in a hardware store buying a shovel right now

Every time someone says “I have a theory” my brain immediately fills in “it could be bunnies”

Ahh right I see, I got very confused by the way you worded the comment but that may well have been a problem here on the receiving end

Yes, and it’s not infrared.

Do you think the purpose of telecom systems is to produce heat? What the hell do you think waste heat even is?

Waste heat is heat that is produced by a machine, or other process that uses energy, as a byproduct of doing work.

To reload please drink verification can

If a system’s purpose isn’t to produce heat, any heat it produces is waste heat.

But I guess the question is whether Swift’s money really is working for “us” or not

Wasn’t it just a couple days ago the IDF was calling UNRWA a front for Hamas?

Yep Israel even got “Hamas” UNRWA employees fired, and all without a shred of proof. The UNRWA chief has said as much.

Right-wing authoritarians always have a very tenuous connection with reality, and nothing they say can ever be trusted – they will lie every time it suits them. You can see this in eg. the sort of ridiculous lies conservatives spread about LGBT+ folks.

Yeah. Trump can get fucked, but so can Swift.

There are no ethical billionaires

Godspeed, General.

So few of them left anymore, it’s so sad.

Rowling isn’t a cunt: she lacks both the warmth and the depth

Yep, I think the blanket ban makes sense exactly due to the reasons you outlined. My point was more that at least it’s not like they’re just chucking Novichok agents at the Ukrainians, and are sticking to less horrible agents at least for now. Still a war crime and I wouldn’t want to be on the receiving end of either of those – even just CS at high enough concentrations will make your skin feel like it’s on fire, and I can say from experience that it’s not fun at all. While PS is technically for riot control, it’s classified as a lung damaging agent and in high concentrations can even kill

Dropping tear gas would be a war crime and we know Russia is doing that. He might have been hit green on green.

That would really be par for the course for Russians. They have of course been claiming that Ukrainians have been using drone-dropped tear gas grenades, but I would bet one of my kidneys that that’s just the same old “NO U” they do with every war crime they commit.

At least based on Ukrainian sources (see eg this article from the Arms Control Association), it seems like Russians have been using more chemical weapons in the recent months. Tear gas (CS) and chloropicrin (PS) have been said to be used, both of which would make sense as they have Soviet stock grenades for both.

At least they’re both still on the milder end of agents, although neither is exactly a joke in the sort of concentrations used in military applications. PS especially will fuck your lungs up

Right??? You can’t just say something like that and then ride off into the sunset
