They also make lofty proclamations and congratulate one another on another year of existence.

hopes rise of US permission to fire long-range missiles into Russia

As if that is going to bring back the oblasts Russia took. More seethestrikes after a failed copeoffensive.

Since there’s only like 5 Marxists-Leninists on Earth, a lot.

I did the same, because the arguments on both sides have become stale and downright cheesy.

But we are actually saving the world and are completely justified in thinking anyone who opposes us is a fool… right?

Re: “the research is entirely google’s.”

For the last two years, Google had been a marquee sponsor of IT For IDF — the company is a natural partner for the event, given Google Cloud’s foundational role in Project Nimbus, a $1.2 billion contract aimed at modernizing cloud computing operations across Israeli government that it shares with Amazon.

Google’s own corporate schedule, reviewed by The Intercept, seems to contradict this statement. The document includes upcoming Google events in Israel, and IT For IDF 2024 is on the list. On this internal schedule, Google is explicitly labeled as a co-sponsor of the conference in partnership with CloudEx, an Israeli cloud computing consultancy.

Every CoD game is US imperialist propaganda.

Didn’t know about that. Thanks.

But at what cost?

Just looked into it, HarmonyOS is closed source. No bueno.

This. The US defense industry is its own beast. I think if a president tried to cut 9/10 of the DoD budget they’d get coup’d.

Unrelated, but you might enjoy this

So they fired everything they had until the maize stopped rustling, and silence fell. Then the Ukrainians moved on.

“Should I say the maize stoppes rustling or that silence fell? I’ll do both!”

The funny thing is the prose sounds like it was written by a high schooler.

I love the comments on reddit about this: “Ukraine didn’t do it and even if they did it’s a good thing!” One comment said “Germany has a lot to answer for.” lol
