@UNGOC_PSYCH @Xhej__ Honestly that would make sense if the UN higher ups were actually composed of Illuminati, world order types. Otherwise even with 90% of the funding the GOC would still be plagued by conflicting national interests.

The left is really good at asking questions like a 3 year old. So broad and ignorant that you'd have to explain most of humanity to properly answer. They think it's some kinda gotcha when you don't bother.

I lost the energy to save people in my 20s. If they cant understand the 2nd or 3rd order effects of destroying everything our ancestors built then so be it, they will make a fine fertilizer.

@BrickFlipped @VT5210 I mean that in of itself is blatantly obvious, otherwise you wouldn't have economic migrants coming here simply for work. But also true for naturalized or born citizens.

The US is really in the weird position of being too comfortable to revolt and too unstable to rebuild.

@jifferey @Dabunska Once again proving that the nicest people tend to be the ones with little to no filter

[Avery Microwave @Microwave1999]

@BrickFlipped @VT5210 tbh I'd argue another factor is that not only are a lot of Americans acutely aware of how horrible it would be if it kicked off (considering they may actually have fled or descended from those who fled) but there isn't much nationwide unity to put together afterwards.

Please don't use these events to demonize an entire group of people, rioting is just the voice of the unheard, I don't think they have mate, this is just part of living in a big city, maybe this wouldn't have happened if they had adequate housing, etc...

[Avery Microwave @Microwave1999]

@JB_Kek @TArchcast Eh that's only really true for industries where being an owner actually requires or at least is encouraged to have industry experience. Not every restaurant owner has culinary skills, aside from those that actually bank on having such a reputation.

During Reach's early development, I made the original proposal to have George sacrifice himself in orbit and then have the covenant fleet show up, giving the unspoken implication that "You sacrificed your best guy and barely made dent. You can't win this war".

But my original pitch was "You leave Jorge in the Covenant bridge, he locks the door and is defending this room to ensure the ship stays on course, and the player runs back to the hangar and jumps" (all in game), we'd then transition to a first person cinematic while the player was falling.

The story team pushed back with a counter-proposal insisting Jorge get this monologue. I didn't agree at first so we debate/argued/etc. That happened a lot. In the end, it was the right choice (I was wrong), and it made the moment so much better.

That was the cool thing about old school Bungie. All the best moments were an amalgamation of proposals and counter-proposals, to ultimately arrive at the best version of the idea.

@CivReborn @Hankenstein4u @Mistaken_galaxy @ThomBrady5 Waa simply explaining why it could be seen as bad, regardless by the letter of the law he's *fucked* up.

[Avery Microwave @Microwave1999]

@CivReborn @Hankenstein4u @Mistaken_galaxy @ThomBrady5 On the one hand a lot of what Israel is doing is kind of what you have to do when conducting urban warfare on a mass scale, and dealing with an opponent that shelters in and under hospitals and schools. On the other hand we all know the IDF relish it and on US tax dollars too.

[Avery Microwave @Microwave1999]

@CivReborn @Hankenstein4u @Mistaken_galaxy @ThomBrady5 I won't argue mainly because I genuinely hope the conflict ends with both sides losing. You have a choice between what's essentially a microstate hijacked by Iranian proxy groups, and the homeland of most of the West's cultural subversives.

[Avery Microwave @Microwave1999]

@CivReborn @Hankenstein4u @Mistaken_galaxy @ThomBrady5 And to speak in terms of morals, not only do you basically fund the extreme mechanisms of repression by that government by giving them money, but you're essentially spreading enemy propaganda.
Imagine someone doing the same for North Korea and it should be apparent how bad it is

[Avery Microwave @Microwave1999]

@CivReborn @Hankenstein4u @Mistaken_galaxy @ThomBrady5 Cuba is sanctioned by the US and you're not really supposed to try to spread business to them. And it's ESPECIALLY bad if the government is compensating you in some way. At the very least that means he has to literally register as a foreign agent.

[Avery Microwave @Microwave1999]

@LeoKearse Anyone ever notice that during the riots, there wasn't really mass looting going on? Apparently a few migrant-run businesses got hit but we're not talking about entire blocks burning and under threat, nor them hitting businesses indiscriminately.

I wonder how many halotubers soyfacing over CEmake will be back to "Halo is dead" posting in a year

[Avery Microwave @Microwave1999]

@CivReborn @Hankenstein4u @Mistaken_galaxy @ThomBrady5 Well he's already facing potential federal charges for going to a Cuban govt-run hotel and possibly receiving compensation for essentially running propaganda for a hostile regime, so I'm really not lying, and hopefully he will face justice, but it should've happened ages ago.

@GBPolitcs @itvnews Fire bomb? The man was just passing by and the house mysteriously caught fire. Must've been a gas leak, the man should be compensated for potential trauma.

[Avery Microwave @Microwave1999]

@CivReborn @Hankenstein4u @Mistaken_galaxy @ThomBrady5 It's horrific, but let's not pretend they haven't been doing the same for a decade now. You fight the battles you're given and all that.

[Avery Microwave @Microwave1999]

@contingenc94501 @slurcat @DAKKADAKKA1 I mean in terms of this particular comparison, that probably wouldn't dissuade a lot of people.
