The first problem is, for a whole lot reasons, going to war with Iran was a bad idea.
The 2nd problem, if you're going to start a war, ya' had better win it and be ready to pay the price.
We were in a tech super cycle, A.I. boom, gas was $2.50, inflation was @ 2.4%, unemployment was less than 4%.
Now we've basically had a strategic loss to Iran, ICE killed some people, inflation is 6%, gas is $4.50. It's impressive if you really think about it.
@LukeFurryjo That's him fighting a very washed up Tank Abbot. Tank already was basically a bar-fighter/power-lifter that never treated his body nor his training especially well, and at this point was one of the last old guys left from the OG UFC. So, not exactly Frasier V Ali.
I've used AI for about a year now to help realize ideas. It's a powerful tool, but it's also just that. It's a disruptive tech. It could also be a gargantuan spec bubble, and causing a death spiral for the internet.
I'd been suspicious lately, besides the normal gripes, the garden has been solid, and I'm enjoying a project. So, like clockwork, my Niece's bed broke, Grandma pulled a muscle, my throat tightened up during dinner (wtf), the air fryer died taking an outlet with it.
@sentdefender I believe that's the point. The war on terror was an abstraction, it had no designated battlefield, took decades of persistent effort to prosecute, and left us with more questions than we began with. Yet, as always, our best heeded the call.
@ProfessorPape Iran was never going to make a deal. They've welshed everytime. Trump said we had an agreement, they'd say no. Now when do hit them again, Iran will claim that Iran had agreed to a deal and the evil U.S. attacked. They're stalling.
@FmrRepMTG Go back to your hidey hole in Costa Rica with your millions of dollars from inside trades, getting rich off the tax payer, you hypocritical crank.
@Timcast Their government did this. Trump has given these talks months now. Iran is the tail that wags the dog, and we look stupid. Time to end the IRGC and end this conflict.
@musepwt He's a Nepo baby with a big mouth. Blue collar folks don't have time to talk about 'raping as a display dominance' and they especially wouldn't disparage a wounded U.S. combat soldier.
Bungie is nerfing progression for the sweats, but I can have my Niece and Nephew actually play a few rounds and enjoy themselves, and feel they've progressed.
