Are you aware that Paris was on the other side of Germany from the USSR?
The war became unwinnable for Japan in like....1942, and yet VJ Day was in September *1945*.
For 1.2M you could be living in one of the seattle suburbs where the food is better, public services are better, amenities are better, still no income tax, and the weather is better.

Isn't "start making themselves safe" the explciit raison d'etre of Israel?
Kaiser Exterminente@bigwetbugs.bsky.social · 4mo agoI’m not arguing in favor of the guy, he’s probably terrible, I have no idea. What I’m saying is that Jews need to stop talking about how unsafe they feel, and start making themselves safe— which means maximizing the perceived distance between non-Israeli Jews and Israel.
I saw a crisis like this coming and got an EV while there were still incentives to get one, so there are in fact material benefits to understanding what is going on around you.
Veronica - 💎Diamond Weapon💎@96pointfutura.bsky.social · 4mo agoAs opposed to you Who pays the same gas prices but at least you know why Does it make you more fulfilled?
0% odds that Trump or anyone in his sphere actually managed to pull this off. They're a bunch of incompetent idiots who ran off anyone with the understanding of government necessary to actually pull off an autogolpe.
SisterSue@sistasue.bsky.social · 4mo agoMeanwhile Prof Tim Snyder is also issuing warnings about the same.
What on earth is going on that I apparently missed out on?
If we're making this kind of argument, one that I personally think is absurd, what exactly do you think Japan was doing prior to 1945?
I genuinely could not imagine outsourcing as much of my thinking to ChatGPT as this man has. Not even 20% as much.

I went back over some old (bluesky old) arguments I had and wow it's kind of a minefield of blocks and burnt accounts. Probably not the healthiest thing to do all told and it's positively Bismarckian (derogatory) but the temptation to look back over something and go "ha I was right" is strong.
I genuinely don't have the words to describe how stupid this is because it should be self-evident.

A high intensity conflict between the US and China is going to go nuclear inside a month, much less three.
sharrowhater.bsky.social@sharrowhater.bsky.social · 6mo agoEhhh, China would destroy the US in a war now. We’d run out of ships in a month and missiles in 3. A soft, anti-intellectual, consumerist populace is not equipped to fight China.
@bclev.bsky.social I saw a set of Atomic Robo print volumes, of which approx half are signed and bookplated, at one of my local used book stores, and there's a story there that I will probably never know.
Y'know, I didn't think I'd need to argue that shooting protestors is bad regardless of who does it but apparently we do.
Pictured: the liberal compromise with slavery:
Fifty Shades of Whey@fiftyshadesofwhey.bsky.social · 7mo agoI see a lot of biased liberals dunking on me because they refuse to acknowledge the parallels I'm making with the many decades of libs dragging ass and compromising with slavery back then...to what's going on TODAY with forced deportations, forced births, forced dispossession of land/resources, etc.
So do Frederick Douglass and WEB DuBois not count or....?
Fifty Shades of Whey@fiftyshadesofwhey.bsky.social · 7mo agoI am begging white liberal bros who are "experts" to read books from Black American authors on slavery, and actually gain new analytical perspectives on their worldview instead of just using rote memorization to repeat the same things we learned as kids from Ghislaine Maxwell's father's textbooks.
Same way the US dealt with the first Klan during Reconstruction.
I'm just going to say that anyone on US time is going to best off getting some sleep and catching up in the morning with fresh eyes. Good luck everyone.
Really putting the socialism in National Socialism holy shit what the actual fuck.
Monetization other than the sale of the title and expansion packs/DLC.
Best Indie Games@clemmygames.bsky.social · 8mo ago
I finally got around to watching Project Sunburst, having waited until I had an uninterrupted hour, and damn. Fantastic animation, excellent asset quality and even the non-bespoke? stuff like the sentry bots were used in ways that looked good. Neither side is portrayed as stupid and both get wins.

She Guevara@sheg7.bsky.social · 10mo agoActual advice for (US) No Kings: No names, no phones, black clothes you've never worn before, masks, gloves, good shoes, eye protection, water... Utilise the military guys in your ranks. Give them radios that connect with people flying drones above the rally. Co-ordinate movements accordingly.
I have spent the last day reading a commentary thread about Victoria and I am going mad.
