Israel's invasion of Lebanon started on Oct 1, I'd say that counts. It contributed to the overall sense that people had that the Democrats were asleep at the wheel and the world was getting worse under them.
Japan and South Korea are on another level of monopolization and consolidation. Sony has been making these moves for a while and seems set to position itself as the corporate overlord for nearly all of Japan.
Damn, just after it gets added to the BDS list.
holy shit. So a big part of the ceasefire deal is for the Lebanese Army to move into southern Lebanon and take over from Hezbollah - is Israel's goal to get the Lebanese Army to move into range of their artillery son that they can shoot them and escalate the war further?
In America it's not just fear either, it's a healthy dose of hate and resentment. Whenever kids or especially teenagers decide to spend time somewhere they're treated like an invasive species and driven out.
The Minecraft AI frame predictor
What the AI dudebro set doesn't seem to understand though is that this is only able to exist because Minecraft exists. A genuine spark of human imagination and ingenuity made one of the most enduring and recognizable imaginary environments ever, and you can get a computer to kinda sorta create a dreamlike facsimile of it with artificial generation.
In the Soviet Union the Great Purge lasted less than a year, but we've been doing the equivalent for like forty.
Wayland and audio is fixed, but only on the canary branch
I've been using the canary branch exclusively for about a year because of audio issues on the main one, I would genuinely be ecstatic if they finally ported over the fix because for some reason the canary branch refuses to auto upgrade and I have to do it manually every time.
I just used it to explain why I don't think the feds would bother showing up.
god watching those images load was like using the internet in the 90s all over again
Maybe this is well known but I'm curious, how do the users know that something like that is legit? As far as I can tell it's just text on a website that can say anything regardless of what's happened behind the scenes.
On the one hand, everything I've read about how Cuba is organized internally makes me incredibly optimistic about the resiliency of their socialist politics. I think it's possible that Cuba might see some kind of sweeping reform movement at some point, but it will be more in the realm of China or Vietnam's reforms where the communists yield to some social democratic policies in order to try and curry favor with the US but retain political power rather than a full on color revolution.
(edit: in fact a certain number of reforms like that have already happened throughout Cuba's modern history)
On the other, people in 1988 thought that the USSR would last a hundred more years.
tbh I would love to do a meetup and since I don't think Hexbear has a tremendous amount of revolutionary potential it would be a waste of the fed's time to show up to it. Like let's be real we'd just end up playing board games or something not sabotaging pipelines.
Took me a couple sittings to get through it, but I found the 50+ year old man posting about the video game release like he was a war correspondent and an invasion was happening around him extremely funny.
What sucks is that we know from the IDF that this shit will be adopted as a means of approving targets (because it will approve every single suggested target).
boutta VPN to China and get a Chinese phone number so I can use their superior websites.
We literally impeached him for threatening to not send weapons there for the civil war that ended up exploding into the full scale invasion.
Ah yes, the impeachment that accomplished so much and is extremely relevant.
I don't care what Trump said or would have preferred, under his administration our government continued to fuel and escalate tensions in the region when we should have been pushing Ukraine to implement Minsk II and end the civil war. Maybe you could classify it as a mistake on his part instead of malice that he didn't stop the arms shipments even though he really wanted to, but people are still liable for mistakes.
you know we genocided an entire continent of people, right? And continue to?
I literally cited an episode from that genocide as my reasoning for Jackson being the worst president.
wtf is bad about anti-Soviet foreign policy
The Soviets wanted deescalation after WW2, and supported self determination for liberated countries including Korea, Vietnam, Greece and Italy. Whatever you think of communism, the American policy of "containment" is directly and indisputably responsible for the suppression of democracy in dozens of countries and wars which killed tens of millions of people all because some of those people would have elected communist and socialist leaders we didn't like.
