Ich persönlich bin für Spaltung. Gewisse Teile der Gesellschaft dürfen ruhig wissen, dass ich ihnen feindselig gegenüberstehe und ihnen nur das Schlechteste wünsche.
The US has been sanctioning Iran for decades. In fact, they sanction about 30% of the world today with the aim to enact human suffering and discontent that leads to the emergence of an opposition in line with US regime change goals. US citizens should oppose these sanctions out of principal.
Iran is already under the most brutal sanctions imaginable, but now Washington is threatening to punish any country that trades with Iran by slapping them with a 25% tariff. They want to scare the entire global economy into cutting them off.
I think we’re long past the point now that anyone can justify travelling to the US like it’s a normal functional country. Absolutely baffled by people still going there for holidays or conferences.

Bookmark this skeet so that when the game inevitably falls short of "largest gaming release of all time" (because literally who could meet such a high bar???) and Rockstar says they have to lay off workers due to "falling short of expectations" we can safely say "you set them up for failure."

IMPORTANT UPDATE: after a *lot* of testing and a group chat full of my smartest FFXIV friends, we have figured out the obfuscation is vulnerable, and that the account IDs are actually reversible. SE needs to stop sending the account ID entirely to clients and just set a hidden flag or something
alright, after some investigation (ty @chirp.bsky.social): - Account IDs are now obfuscated in some way we're unsure of, but this obfuscation still lets you correlate players clientside(!) - we think the network layer has some form of obfuscation on it but we're not quite sure how it works yet
