Nailed it

In fairness, we haven’t actually issued a Declaration of War since WW2. Everything since has been a policing action authorized under the bi-annual NDAA

It’s the Free Square

Good thing Mexico has those blue hedgehogs

this game is actually fantastic,

Without a doubt. It’s on my list.

I can’t think of anything else this year that would surpass Clair Obscur in any of those categories.

Silksong, Outer Worlds 2, and Eldin Ring: Nightsong leap to mind.

You wouldn’t believe it, but some people still think the solution is to install windows

Chinese/Russian which are obvious no

Say what you will about the MiG, they’re cheap.

callously handwaving away rape and diappearances as a tool of governmental control

Why do you hate America?

Literally include “Can you name four basic SQL commands?” any time I interview someone and it’s a great litmus test.

Is this a contest to crash the most aircraft?

Because my man, the GOAT, John “New Plane” McCain would like to have a word.

There have been no confirmed downings of F-35’s.

Several “oops this plane just fell off the flight deck, oh well, shit happens” articles in recent memory. A great way to explain why the Navy is suddenly down a vehicle without having to tell anyone in the general public what happened.

the best way to deal with a bully is to tell them to fuck off

Works best when the bully isn’t stupid rich and surrounded by psychopath security guards.

A big reason why oil-rich oligarchies buy American military hardware is to avoid getting the heavy end of the “regime change” stick bounced off their heads.

USK

I sure do hope British politics doesn’t take a turn for the batshit insane over the next few years.

List of accidents and incidents involving the Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II

At the price of $100M/jet you want to miss out on all this?

Like the number of prties is an indicator if how good you’re doing democracy

“Iran only has one party and that’s bad”

“The number of parties doesn’t matter, aktuly, and you’re stupid if you thought so”

You should be ashamed to defend such a brutal regime

Wipe the Saudi light sweet crude off your lips before you try to deliver that line in earnest.

I suspect your definition of “brutal regime” is “they won’t let me jerk it to women in bikinis”. There’s no real concern for Iranians assassinated by the Mossad or bombed by the Americans or starved through international sanctions. Nevermind the native expats hounded by western anti-immigration police or scientists who were kidnapped and tortured or civilians shot out of the sky for no reason at all.

You only seem to understand “brutality” as a White Man’s Burden to resolve. So long as westerners get to exploit the labor and livelihood of a Middle Eastern people, Islamic Despots don’t seem to bother you in the slightest.

I mean, good for them and all. But… I hate when these award shows do this shit. Narrowing the universe of “award winning” games down to “One Title Wins Everything” feels so hack.

Why Drug Dealers Live With Their Moms

So the top 120 men on the Black Disciples’ pyramid were paid very well. But the pyramid they sat atop was gigantic. Using J. T.’s franchise as a yardstick – three officers and roughly 50 foot soldiers – there were about 5,300 other men working for those 120 bosses. Then there were the 20,000 unpaid rank-and-file members, many of whom wanted nothing more than a chance to become a foot soldier. And how well did that dream job pay? About $3.30 an hour.

A crack gang works pretty much like the standard capitalist enterprise: You have to be near the top of the pyramid to make a big wage. But selling crack is a lot more dangerous than most menial labor. Anyone who was a member of J. T.’s gang for the four years covered in the notebooks stood a 1-in-4 chance of being killed. That’s more than five times as deadly as being a timber cutter, which the Bureau of Labor Statistics calls the most dangerous job in the United States.

The one thing I have a problem with is this conclusion:

So if crack dealing is really the most dangerous job in America, and it pays less than minimum wage, why on Earth would anyone take such a job? Well, for the same reason a pretty Wisconsin farm girl moves to Hollywood. For the same reason that a high school quarterback wakes up at 5 a.m. to lift weights.

The assumption that people are just easy to hook on “Get Rich Quick” schemes is an easy and popular answer. But it belies a more depressing reality. I would argue that many of the people in this business are “unemployable” thanks to a combination of entrenched privatized segregation, criminal convictions from over-policing, and poor economic conditions in the immediate area. That gets us to OP’s headline. They aren’t doing this work because they want the job, they’re doing the work because they want any job.

Incidentally, one burgeoning jobs program in the modern American economy is… Paramilitary policing of low-income communities.

Not a coincidence that many of the folks at the top of the current state and national governments are, themselves, drugged out degenerates and mafia ringleaders in their own right. So we’re seeing the possibility of climbing out of poverty hedged by the same ladders being lowered into the scrum.

We are, quite literally, paying one half of the proletariat to kill the other.

Iran isn’t democratic. It’s a single party theocracy

I count four major coalitions of parties, and a healthy batch of independents, which is more than can be said of any American, Canadian, or UK government. I don’t know how you get “single party” out of that. Hell, the Reformist coalition just took the Presidency a year ago for the first time.

jails or murders it’s people for saying mean stuff about the unelected leader that was supposedly chosen by god

You seem to have Iran confused with the US. It’s always fucking projection with you guys.

Western Press do be like that. The Saudi government is experiencing the same water crisis, but somehow remains beyond repute.

I hughly doubt their uranium is civilian

It is at least as civilian as any French nuclear plant. To date, there is no evidence of plutonium enrichment or bomb construction, which is more than can be said of their Israeli neighbors.
