      What really pisses me off is that I played Bibi in a real world tactics game at a convention five or so years ago. I did exactly what he has done, like I was spot on in predicted what he did. Escalate genocide in Gaza, cultivate connections with the extreme alt right in the US…

      But they tried him/me for all of the financial crimes almost immediately and booted me from office and banned him/me from running or holding office again.

      Like clearly something about his strategies are working?

    Acknowledge the war crimes

    Prosecute the war crimes

    Pay reparations to the country and its harmed citizens

    Acknowledge that as a country there is a lot to change

    Pull back authority from the executive branch

    Re-establish USAIDE

    Commit resources to help rebuild, understand if it’s declined

    Respect others cultures and autonomy

    Campaign for global civil and human rights

    I don’t know, I feel like a lot of things could be done to make the country and world a better place. It has to start with a real acknowledgement and acceptance that what happened was fucked up and that there is no way forward trying to cling onto some bullshit victory.

    The entire world has things to worry about that is more important than geography and religion. Everyone helping and contributing to a mass global move to renewable green energy should be the top priority for everyone, and helping everyone get there because all of our lives have equal value. It needs to be addressed with the urgency of the depleting ozone layer was; it’s still probably too late anyway but with some common ground maybe everyone could walk away at least agreeing to respect each other.

    War is so fucking barbaric, there is nothing civilized about what is going on, this shit isn’t a video game. An actual elementary school full of children was decimated in the first week, with a double tap strike at that, I don’t understand why that wasn’t enough to wake everyone the fuck up and acknowledge that well shit, we actually are the bad guys here, and actually do something about it instead of digging their heals in.

    Some pigs you can’t unfuck but that doesn’t make the right answer to keep fucking the pig.

      All perfectly reasonable, mature ways of handling the problem.

      People are going to scoff and say it won’t happen, but if we keep saying that we expect our elected officials to do nothing, that is exactly what they’ll do. Politicians are lazy, and if you give them permission to do nothing, they’ll happily oblige, and get back to their insider trading.

      We are in unprecedented times, and we will require unprecedented solutions. It will be up to us to insist that it happen, or else. Stop letting them off the hook.

        I am no more confident about anything in life than I’m not fit, able, or intelligent enough to be in any kind of senior government elected position, at the same time, competency shouldn’t rely on a single individual, it should be a collective effort of many ideas, backgrounds, and expertise that effectively represents all constituents to the best ability possible. I’d never run for anything in politics but that’s the kind of stuff I try to learn about any candidate that I vote for, or not.

      More like step one: Stop hitting the ‘ready’ button. Then switch mode to the cooperative vs ai mode, and pray your allies aren’t idiots.

        Win survive.

        It’s like some people think this is an actual war between two even forces or something. Check your motivations.

        Yes they will. They need the income from oil as well. Right now it is more opportune to hurt others, but that won’t stay when the war ends.

          Friendly reminder that Ormutz is open for half the world withbno fees, fees for some, the only ones that are blocked are Israel and Us allies in the region. It is much more convenient for Europe to ignore usa sanctions on Iran and buy oil there

        Uh… why? They don’t get anything substantial from closing it, and it’d earn them the enmity of half the world when they’re clearly trying to end their pariah state status.

    Almost half, meaning less than half. Which could be low twenty percent. Not a great track record for something you can’t respawn.

    I’ve played over 9000 games of overwatch with a 56% win rate and I still don’t think I’m good at the game. This dude is not the expert he thinks he is.

    That’s some garbage W/R and it also doesn’t mean anything unless they share their account name so we can look at the gameplay stats which shows how good they actually are in whatever ship they play in lol.

    I’ve seen a guy with 10,000+ games that were almost all in PvE, so he was dogwater in literally every other gameode.
