I'm gonna go lone nutter, Donald is the king of nutters after all. What are the nutters themselves saying then, Antifa, Peta, Furries, Swifties, Furry swifties ?

I really hope this doesn't help him. I mean imagne the next rally, arm in a bandage, draped in the American flag. The pics are absolutely perfect. Look at him surrounded by secret service shaking his hand at the shooter, like he's going 'I'm not done rambling, I will not be silenced'

Looks really cheesy. I love it. Note to self, if you are ever attacked by a rhino, just throw sand in it's face.

Shadow of he Erdtree. It's completely glorious, best game they have ever made, and it's a DLC. -
Well, we found out that Biden is past it and that the smart move would be to replace him

Well, NATO membership isn't strictly necessary, key countries could sign defense pacts with Ukraine and it would have more or less the same effect. It's not a bad thing to hear Putin talk about the possibility of peace. No doubt the key motive here is to further existing disagreements between Ukraine's NATO backers, but he still said it. That moves it closer to being a reality. We should really try to avoid this dragging on for another 10 years.

yeah, it's pretty good.

https://www.metacritic.com/game/homeworld-3/ Ouch. The industry score means nothing. The bad user score is either a hissy fit, lots of those around, or a good indication of a terrible game. In truth I probably resemble all the old-school fanboys who have written bad reviews, so, I dunno. A pass 'i think. Jagged Alliance is 50% off, the new one. I might get that instead.

Gaza - War does not determine who is right - only who is left

Sounds suspiciously like the Israeli response. -

I suppose they will be tried in absentia. It will be interesting to see if that does anything to change perception. -
What should I get if I wanted to go Ryzen. My motherboard just died with a nefarious "disconnect your drives, a system failure may be imminent" message. I have an rx7900xtx and I figure it's too early to swap that out. The cpu could be salvaged, but it's a 12th gen intel core I 5, it was cheap at the time, and it doesn't feel very upgrady to buy a b660 chipset in 2024.

The TV and Streaming Thread: US Writers/Actors Strike Edition
Gorgon replied to Raithe's topic in Way Off-Topic
I also watched the first fallout season. It started a bit mixed and turned out really good. I think they got the recipe largely right. There is a ton to chose from in all the games and having three characters just kinda move through it all, The good, the bad and the ugly style, while keeping the characters in focus enables all the lore not to become baggage. -

Well, Israel is engaging in war crimes in its war with Hamas according to basically everyone without a vested interest. It is already illegal to invest in Russia for the same reason. Israel gets a pass because the security cooperation and financial ties between it and the US as well as the unfathomable amount of influence it holds in internal US politics. European leaders back Biden's play because of the hundreds of billions of dollars of aid for Ukraine, and because if they don't, they will be dealing with Trump for the next four years. These relations are all transactional, none of them are ethical. If the international criminal court means anything, it will have to issue arrest warrants on both Hamas and senior Israeli leaders, given the facts. With all this, it is entirely appropriate and moral to attempt to undermine the US-Israeli relationship, or at least to say that they don't want their university to have a stake in the continuation of violations against human rights.

There is a lot going on at the same time at different sites but ; What's radical about demanding that a university divest from the arms industry, or that it publish a list of it's potential conflicts of interests. the same should be true of investments with a connection to slave labor, or fundamentally undemocratic ones. The protestors, well at least 50% of them, are paying customers. Institutions of higher learning are supposed to be committed to democratic ideals, there is a long history that at least. Without an ethics clause attached to their investments, the rot and corruption will set in, as we have seen evidence of already.
