True and say what you want about American wars, they don’t take territory for themselves. Russia on the other hand

Ukraine was invaded, twice, with Russia as the aggressor. That isn’t Ukraine’s fault and they have every right to kick Russian ass as long as it takes for Russia to pull out or negotiate. Both will be politically painful so the war goes on.

And if you’re in a shooting war with Russia, who better to ask for weapons than the US? Even old outdated US equipment was designed to take on Soviet equipment so yeah you want them as friends to give your nation a fighting chance and prove to Russia and the international community that they won’t be pushovers.

And look at NATO. They are bumping defense GDP to 5%. Finland, Poland, Estonia and others are withdrawing from agreements that forbid the placement of anti-personnel mines. Even if this war ends tomorrow, nobody seems to think Russia will be satisfied for long

It can only mean one thing

Many people I know agree with deporting illegal immigrants and see it as a problem that had been simply ignored for far too long. I found an article talking about deportation flights as early as 2023 (I’ll try to find and link it here, and here’s one from 2024) so it’s not brought on by the Trump admin, but he greatly expanded the scale and publicity.

There are disagreements though, mostly with how it’s being carried out. If the agents are unidentifiable as feds some day someone is going to fight back, or a third party will intervene thinking they are getting mugged.

And there is a big lack of due process to make sure those arrested actually meet the criteria for deportation. No way they are all 100% legit with no mistakes. If everything is legit more due process and transparency shouldn’t be an issue if your case is solid.

State govts can mobilize their national guard. The guard is the only military component that can be “deployed” on American soil for combat or civil support like riot control or disaster relief

Active duty and reserve bases exist in the US of course but are generally forbidden from being used for combat operations or enforcing domestic policies on US soil. It’s called Posse Comitatus

Idk why but when I see deleted by creator I think it’s funny to imagine God personally zapping it from existence but they still leave that so everyone knows it was them

Anybody know if you can do this on boost?

I like it because I’m less likely to vote just because others have upvoted it. I’m more honest with what I actually like and dislike

They do a lot of optimization for modern hardware like supporting wide screen resolutions. They fixed game ruining bugs and added a lot of mod like options in the settings.

For example it’s a turn based game so your guys do everything based on “time units”. In the base game it can be a big risk to peek around a corner, see an enemy and not have time to fire or even retreat back to safety. OpenXcom can show you how many time units you’ll have left and in colors if you have enough time to shoot when you get there. Cool stuff!

The AI seems pretty true to vanilla but they put in a rule that you have at least one turn to get out of your drop ship without being fragged or rocketed by aliens. There are third party mods that make the aliens work as a team to sneak up or flank you. Those scare me so I haven’t tried it yet lol

I played some X-COM via OpenXcom. Having fun trying to keep from getting massacred assaulting an alien base!

It it was my choice I would try to learn the language of the culture I’m most interested in

If you flush once and it doesn’t go down no problem, if you (or someone you know) tries to flush again no water will leave but the toilet valve tries to fill the bowl more.

So step one is to stop a potential flood of nasty water from overflowing to the floor

It seems like everyone wants to get on board and try it in case it takes off.

If it works they want to be the first to get really good at it and if it doesn’t the normal search engines are still there to fall back on.

At the moment (for LLM’s) it feels like the 3DTV hype. A lot of cool technologies that were expensive and ultimately not worth it for a lot of people. Maybe that will change as time goes on.

Coming back from some time in Europe it’s imposible to unsee how good we could have it.

There’s a perfect highway near me begging to have no speed limit. Straight, flat, no major cities.

But knowing how things would go someone would try to break the sound barrier in a vehicle that was not up for it and die. Then a ton of knee jerk legislation and regulation would make things worse for everyone.

Multiplayer relies on other people so they are more likely to have people buy it early on to play with their friends and a high player count.

The downside is you’re paying full price for a game that still has issues to sort out and eventually the game dies off when everyone else moves on.

Single player games are cool because in many ways the value goes up over time. You pay a lot less to get a full more polished game, some with an awesome mod community making even more stuff.

But to get back on track with this post yeah you can totally balance it. Play the best multiplayer games while new single player games release, get fixed and get less expensive

So that’s where madam comes from

High risk high reward I guess. And it varies a lot because some are super hard core with latin and all, and some are pretty relaxed with it

In theory you’re not supposed to have pre-marital sex (it probably happens all the time) and dating would tend to be more serious than casual. Going steady vs hooking up. So yeah I imagine having a relationship not work out carries more weight

But once you get past that you get a long lasting marriage, a family and all the positives that come with that

This guy knows what he’s talking about
