Journalists really milking that headline.

There’s yet another meaning of “just” - unrelated to anything else. The comment read like it was dismissing any relation to the war at all. If that’s not what you meant, than fair enough.

“Just decided”, like they made the decision on a whim? It’s naive at best to pretend like this isn’t because of Russia’s 2+ years of war crimes and sabre rattling at anyone that looks at them funny or happens to share a border.

Ah, yes. I knew that “Howdy, howdy, howdy” sounded familiar, hah.

Crossing the other way makes no meaningful difference.

Friendly fyi - it’s just ‘arc’. Arch is used with structural things like bridges. It could also be used to describe the attitude of an over the top antagonist.

clear collusion

It’s less so “collusion” than it is “a billionaire brat using their obscene wealth and plethora of businesses to strong arm their way out of any accountability”. We can’t consider starlink a “good thing” because it will always be part of that, and any group or government relying on it to any degree should take note.

Never. The dude being right once doesn’t absolve him of shit. Fuck him.

The origin of Batslug.

A modest proposal in tough times.

Seriously. Phelps is pretty much genetically ideal for a swimmer, but nobody claimed it was “UnfAiR!!” when he swept the board multiple olympics in a row, garnering more gold medals than anyone in history, before or since.

One female boxer looks a bit “too” muscular and the bigots are up in arms. Fucking assholes.

100%. Not suggesting anything be ignored, just that Hamas should be held accountable for their actions just as Israel should. The level of those actions may not be equal, but they also don’t cancel each other out.

Both can be bad. No amount of violence on the part of Israel will absolve Hamas of theirs.

Did a non-teacher, government official scold you directly? No? Ok, not the same thing then.

Was trying to figure out why this felt so familiar, then I remembered it’s literally a plot point in the game Beholder 3, a game about an excessively oppressive surveillance government. Wild.
