It's morbid how many people believe that
Brown magic is more important that actual effectiveness. It's like blacks firing their glocks sideways, or arabs randomly spraying with AK's. The US can completely demolish a country's infrastructure, military projection, and kill thousands, but god forbid someone dies in an accident in the same time zone.

I'm going to go with 'yes' as the answer here. Don't know where your going with the GPU's because a quick google says Taiwan. Are the Taiwanese in on hiding Tartarian mudflows via psychotronics inside of the GPUs? Don't tell Stud!
 
I'm very curious if they're actually strong at all or if it's just the last remnants of what they had hidden underground after we gave them the equivalent of an ass raping with hundreds of missles and bombs, enough to turn 99% of their shit into glass shards

They are a million miles away from a superpower, but they were definitely a regional power. They had ballistic missiles, they had frigates and submarines, they had tech gaps filled in by Russia and China, and their own home developed long ranged cheap kamikaze drone.

The key to all of that is had.

They obviously have lost a lot of that. They are talking as much shit today, when they've launch half a dozen missiles and maybe 4 times that in drones in retaliation, as they did near the start of the war when they could muster up 10x that. They are completely felted and the only thing keeping them from admitting it is that they would most likely literally be eaten alive by their people if they were honest.

They are only in this fight at all because, by geographical chance, they have a coast with a very narrow straight that 1/5th of the world's oil transports through. And they've had aspirations for decades of being able to have a stranglehold on that constriction to enrich themselves. That was the entire point of their nuclear program and why shutting it down was so important. Not because they'd nuke Isreal, because they'd toll the Hormuz under the threat of nuking the Eastern Hemisphere's energy infrastructure.

Platner still hasn't signed the papers yet to withdrawal. :lol:
This is another chip away against establishment democrats and their process. You can expect more socialists to steamroll the old guard dems. This has been simmering for 10 years since Sanders, now its reached a boil.
Ol' Bernie did the J.O.B. in 2016 and 2020 to get his extra homes, and is now telling the Dems, "No refunds!"

Orks are if that nigga magic was real.
 
He was not in the military long enough for 100%. The fact he got it is fucking disgusting. There are people that put in the full thirty years, break their fucking backs for Uncle Sam for a third of their lives, and they don't get 100%.
so I allegedly know a man who hypothetically might have worked for the DoD as a pure computer bitch and would brag to me that he got 10% disability per finger

he is also the kind of guy who things a cheeta yellow h2 hummer is a "mans car"


anyway fuck those fake vets, its milking the VA dry
 
This whole idea that screaming retards should be allowed to spam any thread they want to and if you get annoyed by it you're somehow falling for their ploy has always been retarded.

He's an idiot who screams and screams at everyone he can until someone in the crowd gets tired of it and then he runs crying to the mods. He's a toddler. It's not 99 percent of anything. It's him and like two or three other idiots.
it would be nice if people stopped randomly pinging him and setting him off, I hate reading retarded slapfights between him and other people
 
It's hilarious to think that the Republicans might actually manage to retain Congress this November, not because they or Trump actually accomplished anything of value but simply out of sheer dumb luck and their opponents shitting the bed.
 
This is my reminder to continue not only improving my OPSEC but deleting any weird shit I might’ve liked publicly. I don’t even honestly know if the sexual assault allegations are as credible as people are making them out to be but honestly- I’m kinda thinking he was set up. I didn’t like him by any means but holy shit, this all came out way too fast and way too quickly.
 
...aaaaand yet again, as with literally every "sex scandal that conveniently comes up at just the right time," no indication she ever went to the police or otherwise tried to report the crime when it might have actually fucking mattered, meaning the accusation is guaranteed bullshit unless she can actually prove it or get him to admit it.
Someone into conspiracy theories may think these type of maneuvers are intended to push out popular Dem candidates in favor of socialist types - especially with Mandami's win in the NYC mayoral race emboldening the Dems into thinking they can flood their field with even more DSA-aligned members.

On a similar note, a race in my part of Kiwi Land saw a popular candidate abruptly bow out and endorse someone who might be seen as more progressive than she was. Politics on the D sided definitely gets interesting when the August primaries and other elections approach.

Florida Judge counters Star Wars Judge to make the Social Security verification for voting valid again:
The only other time I saw the name Sparkle was when I received amass email from a company known for its LGBTetc policies. If this Sparkle isn't transgendered, I feel sorry they got stuck with that as their name. That said, it's nice to see reason with voter verification. Checking against SS records might not be foolproof, but it's certainly a step in the right direction.

what? This was a bit less known than Swalwell's shit. We want to know how all these sexpests on the left are always projecting. That's ALL THEY DO.

The thing is, it's not their own sexpest insanity, duh.. They're pro trans kids shit. The real problem is they are communist idiots like old style. That's the big problem, it's the leftist shit from climate change to anything the left is bitching about. It's all lies and bad economics and policy. You got hogan type BLM's. It's all gotta be fought at the ballot box, and ammo box. On this site politically cause of leftist favoritism and the rest.

This sex stuff they have is an obviously easy way to call them out.

It is a level of demorlization I cannot understand. Rooting for the commies and muds is fucking gay.

He probably thinks Taiwan isn't a country. Turd world mindset. Always gotta tear down the US.

Witness Valve employing this exact strategy to dominate the gaming industry while Microsoft, Sony and (to a lesser extent) Nintendo take turns shooting themselves in the feet, openly fucking their customers over at every opportunity for little-to-no measurable gain (people are genuinely puzzling to figure out what's in it for Sony, for example, pulling their latest stunt of deleting already-purchased, already-downloaded movies from players' consoles because Sony themselves have lost the licensing rights to continue selling it -- there's no evidence there's any requirement in the existing license agreement between Sony and the copyright holders that they proactively delete copies users have already downloaded, so by all accounts it's a literal "fuck you" to customers with no commercial or legal upside).

Valve literally releases one game every ten years, coughs up some neat niche hardware few people buy (but whose buyers generally give good reviews), and lets people sell games on Steam, and they're profitable as fuck. Meanwhile, every other hardware/software vendor in the space is literally self-immolating, laying off thousands of people, stealing from customers with a hearty "fuck you," discontinuing physical media entirely (Sony, again), etc.

Of course, Trump and republicans are accomplishing a lot, much more than your post implies, but we'll let that backhanded compliment slide because even that bullshit is old hat and tired now and doesn't work anymore. Don't feel too bad. The trick doesn't work against Valve either. You see bots try it on /v/ every so often now (any time anybody complains about anything retarded Sony/Microsoft/Nintendo does, a troll invariably chimes in to bitch that Valve does it too and is somehow worse; people just laugh now and say "okay Tim [Sweeney, Epic/Tencent stooge]" then ignore it).

This took ten seconds to Google and find out. Sony didn't just lose the license to sell it. The user license to view the content was also revocable. It got revoked.

Not sure how you're able to claim Steam is doing a better job here, since Steam doesn't sell these movies at all. Anyone saying, "Fuck you, Sony...I'm switching to PC, Steam will never take Terminator 2 away from me!" is in for a disappointment.

Buddy, I want the Repubs to keep control and keep the mouth-foaming gay race communist lunatics out, but I'm not going to sit here and pretend that they haven't squandered their mandate for the past two years. They won't pass the SAVE Act because the senior Senate GOP's got their fee-fees hurt by Trump's boorishness, and while crippling Iran is a good long term thing it doesn't necessarily improve the lives of the average American in the immediate setting.

And that's not getting into the dumb shit that they do think is important like KOSA (aka the "kill the Internet as we know it bill") or giving themselves yet another raise.

I think that's the feeling for a lot of us. The dems are horrible, they deserve to be out of power for generations. The republicans aren't much better, but they are better.

“A lot” is a stretch and I say this as a plan truster. Trump, by his nature and the nature of the political situation as it stands, cannot do “a lot”. If he were to act even more than he currently has been doing, it would be political suicide.

Politics atp in time is built around not doing or saying stuff that would rock the boat. That’s why the stock market can lose a trillion one day and then get it all back the next. There are five political untouchable questions right now that will not be solved:

• Productive people being used as tax cattle for dependents (Boomers or Migrants)
• Failure of the welfare state
• Oversaturation of the job market/credentialism collapse
• Devaluation of civic participation
• political corruption within the administrative bureaucracy

The most likely case with these is that (as historically this has occurred in Evropa for example, Austria-Hungary, or tenament holdout apartments in NYC post-reforms) only death can answer these questions. Billions must and will die.
