Maybe don't base your world view on some random person's protest sign.

If they build it, they have to be ready to use it. And they'd have to use it pretty close to home. Against an adversary with equal capabilities.

Either it would have no effect at all on the conflict, or it would result in annihilation. Doesn't really seem worth it.

Though maybe to play devils advocate, creating a DMZ wasteland with tactical nukes might not be the worst outcome. Pretty terrible thought though.

Apparently if you move to a swing state first, you become a swing-state voter forever. That’s more valuable than even a Montana residency.

What makes a Montana residency valuable?

I live in a state where we now have ID verification laws. It effectively blocks the big players with the quality content.

People had no idea how good we had it. Guess we all have to learn the hard lessons again.

That's cool and all. But we got effectively the same thing for the price of a pen.

Because you have a paper record to fall back on. It can be important.

Honestly, this is it. You have to want it, and you just have to do it. You'll feel "sick" for a while but you just have to muscle that out.

I know it's easier said than done, but it really is that simple. Just stop.

Looks like AI nonsense. The more I look at details, the less it makes sense.

A nationwide blackout. A broken economy. A widely contested presidential election. A populace terrified of its autocratic leader and his increasingly violent security forces.

What’s a president to do?

Declare the early arrival of Christmas, of course.

Facing widespread domestic and international criticism over his claim that he won a July presidential vote, President Nicolás Maduro of Venezuela is trying to turn the nation’s attention toward the one thing almost every Venezuelan loves: Christmas.

Looks like the content creator Karmakut has launched a game studio and is building this new tactical shooter. Curious how this plays out.

Boar’s Head Provisions Co. recalled liverwurst because it may be tainted with the listeria bacteria, the U.S. Agriculture Department said. The agency said a sample of Boar’s Head liverwurst from a Maryland store tested positive for listeria.

The company is also recalling deli-sliced meats made the same day on the same line as the contaminated liverwurst at a Virginia plant, the USDA said. The sample was from an unopened package, collected by health officials as part of an investigation into the listeria outbreak.

Desert Strike was probably one of the most influential games of my childhood. This game seems to be looking to scratch that itch.
