I... what? How? Is he going to take on the Brazil Sugar bullshit to bring the price of cane sugar down?

In fairness the original GDI vs Nod storyline was written in the 1990s when people like Bill Gates were nowhere near the levers of political power (you might recall Gates was being SUED by the Government for monopolistic practices by Microsoft) like now and you still had a number of WW2 and...

Why would Wilson and his government remain in power? I think you severely underestimate American stubbornness about our electoral system, we held both Congressional and Presidential election WHILE FIGHTING OUR OWN CIVIL WAR, you think we're going to just... NOT hold election on cycle because...

Oh... for fucks sake why did they even do this... I tend to agree with your assessment, but the simple fact of the matter is this is something that will have to work it's way through the courts and is arguably the second largest ongoing constitutional crisis the fucking Dems have set up.

If you ever see a post from an AI and it lacks the original user question or appears to just be a snippet of a longer dialogue, and the answer seems extremist in ANY direction: immediately assume that the user prompted the AI to respond like that. LLM AI are parrots who respond in ways that...

There are countless historical links between the Nazis and Fanatical Muslims, in fact much of modern Fanatical Islam is actually a combination of Wahhabism AND Nazism, especially in Hamas and the Palestinians. They're not mutually exclusive.

Yeah, and since Larian has been doing things that are very much thumbing the nose at Hasbro. The release of the modding tools for BG3, for instance, were locked down to prevent them being as broad as the toolkits for, say, Neverwinter Nights; however, it ALSO just so happened that the way to...

I think there's a few reasons for this. One is that by Act 3 you're near the level cap, thus levels come much slower and you can hit the cap fairly early on, meaning no further character progression. This can be ameliorated with mods that remove the cap but it doesn't entirely help since class...

Looking it up in various dictionaries, I can't find any evidence for it coming from an antisemitic acronym or any etymological link to Jews or the like. The majority of definitions that I can find it is a shortening of the word "Positive" that originated WITHIN the LGBT Community from "HIV...

Yeah, people forget the sheer amount of resources the US spent in producing fissile materials, they basically dedicated the entire power output of a dozen newly built hydroelectric dams over a period of MONTHS in a location so far inside the US as to be impossible to attack just to enrich the...

This is a long form video that goes in depth including citing original sources. It pretty much goes over your view of McCarthy and provides evidence that is highly counter to it. I'd give it a watch, it's basically an independent documentary on the subject.

The entire reason the US Navy exists is because of Muslim Pirates unprovoked attacks on US Merchants in the late 18th century, long before the entire modern Zionist movement became a fucking thing. The US has literally been fighting Islamic aggression since Jefferson, the entire reason the...

TR is still a step below ol' George when it comes to badasses. "The right wing, where I stood, was exposed to and received all the enemy's fire ... I heard the bullets whistle, and, believe me, there is something charming in the sound." - George Washington on his first battle. Look, either...

. . . There's NUMEROUS philosophical justifications for the banning of pedophilia. You can found it in natural biological progresson: pre-pubescent children are not properly biologically capable of engaging in sex. You can found it in pure utilitarian ethics: the net harm caused to the target...

. . . There was not Constitution in 1776, the Declaration of Independence was issued in 1776, but it is, in effect, just that, nothing more. The Constitution was adopted in 1787, and, well, you're just wrong? The US Constitution protected both Catholics and Jewish rights in the US as far as...
