Seems like most likely interpretation is “starting now, if no strikes originate from your country, we won’t strike you,” yeah? Maybe not forcing gulf states to kick US out, but incentivize them not to let us launch anything

Not sure if better or worse than infinite paperclips

We aren’t launching strikes from UAE?

I mean he had some boys even at the end. But besides his boys yea

Half of this site would like to offer you some hemlock as a result it seems

Is that 3 total? Because I thought there was one in Qatar reported destroyed?

Man we are already living in the ashes of the old world (2015)

I’m keeping “I want to die, but not before they do”

I hope hell is real exhibit one billion

“Turmoil continues in Alabama, but here in Wyoming, all the shops are open and things seem calm”

You get 23% for the first of these and probably somewhat lower numbers for the others. Probably well under 5% of Americans can do all three

(Not immediate especially because people who think “war crime”=“bad thing” and are currently upset about a bad thing will often be upset if you tell them that the bad thing isn’t a war crime, because they interpret you saying “it’s not a war crime” as “it’s not a bad thing”)

For sure, if you know what war crimes actually are you can, if you don’t someone should teach you what war crimes are, but it’s probably not the paramount or immediate priority IMO

Valid, though if I find something really repugnant and most people calling attention to it are calling it a war crime, I’m still on net glad they’re calling attention to it

Not clear to me if this naval attack is in that norm-violating but not law-violating category or just pretty standard doin war

Sure, I guess that’s what my qualification here was gesturing at. To most people it already just means something morally shocking. Yet another use of this “colloquial” meaning isn’t a huge deal given that the term is already watered down. But for sure the watering down sucks and is harmful

Or at least, the marginal harm of this happening one more time is minimal, given that this happens all the time and will continue to

I know this is your area of expertise which gives you reason to be annoyed by this discourse but I think the harm is pretty minimal from people calling any act of war they find repugnant a war crime, even if they’re incorrect

Funny enough my supertankie buddy was like “see, I told you he sucked” when the Nazi tattoo thing came out and then not-very-left libs rejected him immediately and the horseshoe of correctness has slowly grown from both ends to include everyone but Ryan Grim

Excellent application of Cunningham’s Law

Oh this explains why you have been stream-of-consciousness poasting ML thoughts into the ether the last few days lol I have done similar when I don’t actually have the time/means to Do The Math

It’s kind of corny to tell this to internet strangers but I think it is healthy to acknowledge on here amid all the deeply irony-poisoned Poasting Through It that we’re all trying to cope with The Sadness of it all. I’m glad something made me cry I’m still human inside the videodrome

Scrolling Instagram and got a devastatingly sad interview with a little girl in Gaza I’ve seen before. Had this instant, totally unexpected reaction, I said “no no no no no” and burst into tears. I think I need to be a little more offline

Bike commute gang stays winning

I know running probably doesn’t help in this situation but I was involuntarily yelling “bro move! Bro move!” At this vid

If somebody announced my death like this I would come back to life to copy edit them

That’s so awesome. Price higher because people buying stuff so get rid of people. Any semblance of a thought slides right off their perfectly smooth brains

Reminds me of when in EU4 I declare a war against a minor neighbor I don’t really care abt but they call their allies in I get stack wiped run out of manpower and am checking every month if they’ll accept white peace (I’m at -27 warscore)

What on earth was their theory of how immigration drives grocery inflation

Reportedly the CIA are arming the Kākāpō in hopes of an uprising against the regime

These fucking copperhead Ds were pivotal to killing it FYI. Passes 216-215 if they’re not consumed by bloodthirst
