Even in the Viking Age we had RETVRN guys.

They didn’t eat fucking berries in the sagas! Hang on, I gotta go post on the noticeboards to ask about how to deal with these fucking tapeworms.

American Palate detected.

Opinions like this are why my delicious pine resin has been muscled out by alcoholic grapefuit juice.

Because any incident of mass violence is likely to include sexual violence

This is a flatly true statement, certainly so in the context of October 7 where the commandos were followed out of the fence by an assortment of civilians with varied motivations once the Israelis failed to respond to the raid.

What’s key is that the charge of a deliberate and systematic program of sexual violence on the part of the Gazan resistance is an absurd and racially charged slander.

Ryujinx is still up for the time being at least.

Lot of ‘leftist’ men showing their whole arses condescending down to Christa and doubling down when she gently suggests they might have missed the full point.

Similarly, everyone in the former USSR who was sent to a gulag was a brave dissident and not a common criminal.

I would absolutely download a car, sounded like the coolest shit to me as a 14 year old

Rookie numbers, a true revolutionary party would have way more splitters.

There are swindlers and there are marks.

What no class analysis does to a motherfucker.

Didn’t realise my cat posted on hexbear.

All this arguing over progressive fining versus just slashing the tyres of all parked SUVs you see.

From the simple action of picking fruit, to spell it out.

Even accepting the premise of the argument Veganism still wins as abattoirs have uniquely fucked working conditions.

You aren’t going to get PTSD from picking fruit.

Welcome to the world of car finance, where the tiny guardrails introduced to stop the housing market going Kerplunk again don’t even exist, and is therefore awash with subprime loans.

One must always observe the appropriate pleasantries.

I don’t think liberals and left-liberals (but I repeat myself) have really internalised how degraded technical and managerial skills (actual skills rather than cost cutting and hiring consultants) are in the West, and think big GDP numbers are automatically fungible to any set of appropriate use-values they think western governments might need.

I had an argument with a friend who thinks in a peer war the Arsenal of Democracy is waiting only for the injection of capital to ramp up again.

I don’t know what expertise either in machining or organisation actually remains to guarantee that gets done. I compare it to the West’s inability to successfully produce a hypersonic missile.

If anyone has any reading about this I would appreciate it.

That’s pretty much what China has been doing in Africa; insisting all debtors (private, state & institutional) take equal haircuts.

The pressure has not worked, consent manufacturing has so far been too strong.

China has still unilaterally forgiven a lot of African sovereign debt over the last few years.

Iran directly controls and moves its proxies and is fully responsible, with no respect to local opinion.

US proxies operate entirely at the behest of their local populations and America bears no responsibility for their actions.
