America could come up with a miracle drug that cures every disease known to man

And then the average USAling would never be able to afford that drug even if bankrupting themselves. And your big pharma would also keep it out of the hands of most of the world by patenting it and keeping the price artificially high. And you’d all still boast that you discovered that miracle drug and all the rest of the world is inferior to you.

Fair enough, let me rephrase that:

I’m glad scientists think otherwise, or we would still be living in the bronze age.

The publisher is restructuring around five ‘creative houses’ by implementing cost-cutting, project cancellations, and a return-to-office mandate.

“We’ll become gamer-centric by fucking our employees even more”

Few people will be surprised by this. The passivity and submission to the USA were already strong signs that she betrayed her country for power and profit.

how does one look at a fired round, presumably beat to shit from impact, and trace it back to a origin?

This took 5s to find using DDG

The main purpose of the board is to oversee the Gaza ceasefire

Trump seeks to build his own UN. One where the USA only has the power to veto anything.

pumping oil out of pubic lands

this sounds really painful lol

I mean this feels like an obvious result.

I’m glad scientists think otherwise, or we would still be living in the dark ages.

Once a non pedophile, war-monger gets back in the presidency, some little bit of marketing and everyone will go back to buying US.

It remains to be seen if you’ll ever have free elections again. You might become a dictatorship well before then.

not OP but I believe they’re “soft” in the sense that they don’t have moats/high electric fences/battalions of armed guards around 24/7

Ain’t we all? this is why I use MATE btw

Just like with watershed TV/movie/music, it seems quaint and overhyped as their innovations become the norm.

There is even a trope that describes that

If you launch the game outside steam the time isn’t accounted for. I know this because I love playing Timespinner with a randomizer. Inside steam I have 40h of played time. If the timer counted my randomizer sessions I’d have at least 4x that

Insect armageddon has happened way faster than anyone thought

I remember as a kid (I’m currently in my late 40s) that the world was full of bugs. Many, many tipes of mosquitos, beetles, praying mantis, ladybugs, ants, cicadas. You rode in a car at night and the windshield would be splattered by bugs every 30s. Nowadays I barely see any around.

EDIT: the exception seems to be cockroaches. Those never went away.

their foreign minister said Zelenskyy - a Jew - is a nazi?

there’s plenty of nazi jews in Israel, so what gives?

Beautiful quote, I wish I could upvote you twice

Meus manos tugas, por favor não elejam um clone de Bolsonaro/Trump/Orban, evitem essa dor de cabeça. Governos de extrema-direita tendem a corroer/destruir todas as instituições por dentro e podem ser difíceis de retirar do poder depois

US has over 2000 fighter jets. In hand.

And they can’t deploy them all at the same time on the same target, unless they risk being vulnerable elsewhere

The 38-year-old father

Not old enough to remember Mosaddegh, it seems. But I thought iranians studied their own history in school, looks like this guy skipped lots of history classes.

Don’t atribute malice where stupidity fits. It’s quite probable that a sizable chunk of those 25% didn’t even understood the question.
