Back in the 1800s, some school related shootings were parents/students shooting a teacher for practicing corporal punishment

The AI podcast doesn’t bother me. It’s using your notes to make it that pisses me off.

“Nothing good ever happens” gang stays winning. Perpetual disappointment means there are no surprises.

You’ll probably enjoy Gotfield. Conservative media pundit gets his own standup routine segment on fox news lol. He’s apparently a fan of that one hyperpop duo (forgot the name)

Look buddy. I need a McMansion and a Ford F-950 or else my wife will keep making appointments with the tennis coach. I will not stand for the humiliation and mockery at the country club.

Have you ever seen this documentary? The Brainwashing of My Dad

None of the vessels carry nuclear weapons, so their stopover in Havana does not pose a threat to the region, Cuban diplomacy stated.

well it should

I don’t think he’s even the main character. The main character is the female ninja which gamers seem to also foam at the mouth. But I guess ninjas are historically accurate now. If you look in the trailer comments, you’ll see a bunch of losers who are declaring their courageous refusal to pre order a shitty game because of muh diversity

I’m curious if anyone’s ever studied the weird Madonna-whore complex that gamers have. I don’t even know if you can classify it as that, because MWC usually involves putting someone on a pedestal but gamers will freak out about one game not having hot girls then in the very next game decry the game for having hot girls. I don’t get it.

I wonder if they’re getting help from the PRC to do this since it’s in both of their interests to keep production in china. Reminds me of this anecdote I read about the KGB working with the CIA post dissolution to protect nuclear storages from the mob

The same reason people join any movement (not in any order):

9. Growing up never questioning anything
10. Resource control

I don’t believe anyone truly thinks the US won’t stab them in the back. I mean officially, ISIS is at odds with everyone. But with #13, the US isn’t sending guys in dress blues to meet with an ISIS cleric. Sometimes they may send actual CIA/intelligence operatives (though sometimes actual politicians will meet with them, like Charlie Wilson). But usually they hire a guy who hires a guy who knows a guy who knows a guy.

That guy may or may not know the chain of command, and he trains/recruits/passes on equipment and info to others, in this case ISIS, and the group may or may not be fully aware that they’re being played. The US is not always promising anyone anything. Sometimes they just have networks that believe their own agendas are progressing by their own merits.

Sometimes they’re also trying to play their circumstantial allies. For example, it is claimed by Israeli liberals that Netanyahu gave weapons and intelligence to Hamas to further divide Palestinian opinion on governance. This may be true, but it doesn’t mean you’re a puppet to your backers. It may mean you just take their shit and use it against them. Gaddafi, Noriega, and Saddam were US puppets at one point but decided they wanted to pursue other things.

However, with ISIS specifically, it was a movement that was birthed alongside al Qaeda and other terrorist movements. But it really took over after al Qaeda became irrelevant and the west destroyed the Middle East. Governments and security were barely functional. There is no food, no water, no hope except heaven, and that’s what ISIS essentially promised - a way to regain glory and blessing by seizing back resources, control, and spreading the word of “god.”

Muslims who suffered in the Middle East with no help from the government, the west, and with practically no leftist presence, they have three choices: continue working to provide what little they can for their families, and/or take up arms against the invaders and terrorists, and/or join the terrorists for the above reasons.
