Not even drawing comparisons with the “Cuban Missile Crisis” is making a dent.

I’m glad that my parents aren’t terrible people. My Mom was pretty good at understanding the crux of the issue but my dad took a LOT of convincing.

My Dad has a HARD block on Russia/Ukraine. In his mind, Putin is Literally Hitler and has no justification for wanting a buffer zone without NATO nukes.

Next post: my notes from reading Chapter 1 of Gaza by Dr. Norm Finkelstein. They were very persuasive in a family meeting I presented.

Well he is labeled “Republicans” so I think he’s just there to be the stand-in for the party like in a political cartoon.

Trump actually did call on House Republicans to abandon the border/Ukraine funding bill. That could genuinely have been the deciding factor in whether it passed or not.

They get close to zero engagement on their social accounts, it also feels suspicious to me.

As for the story: https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/palestinians-work-identify-80-dead-handed-over-israel-2023-12-27/

That verifies that 80 bodies were returned to Gaza by Israel in late December.

Ok, but read what you just wrote again. “Asian manufactured cars” is only slightly abstracted from what you just tacitly acknowledged is racist.

I’m not saying the users of the term for Linux are intentionally being racist, but singling out Asian-manufactured cars is, or at least has been historically. Also, people put aesthetic mods on low quality American car models just as frequently.

How do orks born in Isengard know what a menu is?

Nope, I was smiling like a maniac the whole time I was reading. Reject cynicism 😀

Steam deck kinda sucks for media consumption as a handheld, and it’s much heavier. But this thing isn’t gonna game well 😅

I like Hey Riddle Riddle if improv comedy is something you like. Both for falling asleep and listening while awake.
