Sadly I think most of his supporters are pretty stupid and will think AK stands for Al-Kaeda

I decided to google it myself and found this portion on wikipedia:

"The unit is composed primarily of 18–21 year olds. As a result of the youth of the soldiers in the unit, and the shortness of their service period, the unit relies on selecting recruits with the ability for rapid adaptation and speedy learning.[4] Afterschool programs for 16–18 year olds, teaching computer coding and hacking skills, also serve as feeder programs for the unit.[5] Former Unit 8200 soldiers have, after completing their military service, gone on to founding and occupying top positions in many international IT companies and in Silicon Valley."

Yemen out here taking out future Silicon Valley chuds ahead of time.

When Gazans talk to the outside world (or at least America), obviously they reveal info on what's happening in Gaza; Well, Palantir (American company if you don't recall it) shares info on the calls received from Gaza with unit 8200 who obviously don't want info leaking to the outside world who then target those civilians:

So that strike on unit 8200? A cause for celebration because a bunch of civilian murderers are painting the floor.

It's giving me rock, paper, scissors vibes in a dystopian world where rock won.

When it's not a marketing team bumbling things up, you instead surrender the creativity to someone's fickle whims.

I'm sure this is going to go about as well as the star citizen's devs (or owner) choosing to go with the crysis engine for their massive game on a whim.

And for the bio/kin/nursing/premed students: how much would need to be amputated?

Hi there! I'm a certified surgeon in my DnD roleplay and I can safely say you've just amputated your own arm at that speed at just below the shoulder!

It'll be a very awkward marriage ceremony though when they try to marry their right hand

Make it make sense

People cry 'waaaaaaah, he spoke Spanish within earshot', but the government privatizes natural resources and suddenly the same reactionary human garbage is silent. Whatever happened to 'you're in MY country', huh? If it's your country then did the government get your permission to privatize all those resources?

If the West is so great then why is it non-Western countries are the ones nationalizing their natural resources and making their population live better lives. 'If yOu LiKe cOmMuNiSm sO mUcH, wHy Don'T yOu LiVe iN GaDdAfi's LiByA?' idiot I would strive to live in Gaddafi's Libya as a Libyan citizen if our government hadn't killed him!

No laws are being broken, NO LAWS ARE BEING BROKEN!

An awesome guy employed at a McDonald's invites in a homeless person and buys hims food and the (manager?) calls the cops to have the guy removed.

This is beyond repulsive; why are we at war with the homeless? Where's the pathetic reactionaries who keep using the homeless as an excuse to call for immigrants to be kicked out? Why is this happening under a dem presidency? Kamala, one of the worst incarnations of a cop, is going to potentially be the next president; how much worse is this going to get?

I admit I don't know where the third poster is from, but I feel it's a safe guess to say America; plus lots of folks back home feel this way anyway even if this person in particular isn't American.

There's someone called the Lingji monk in the game and he's headless; apparently he's headless because the head of the real statue of the Lingji monk is in the British museum.

EDIT: I looked up the video of his character on youtube and Chinese people are making jokes such as 'he learned English in the British museum', lol

No idea who Hap Arnold was though; master jokester maybe?

Serious warning about the replies though, be prepared for some serious liberal handwringing about being mean to the Nazis tried at Nuremberg.

(Seriously though, make this an emote)

These people make utter fools of themselves and then want us to think it's the people of the DPRK who are propagandized. Dear God I hope to live to see Western countries become more irrelevant.

This is just sad; I don't even know what channel aired this (if it's America's or not) but I feel secondhand embarrassment just looking at this from how desperate this is.

Any left wing server you guys can recommend? I recall the last time I played, every time in the morning the antisemitic and racist termites would crawl out of their holes, and every now and then I'd get anti-Roma racism during the day (was playing on EU servers). I was tempted to give Asian realms like Korea and Taiwan a shot, but the last time I played on Asian servers (in Diablo Immortal), I only understood like 10% of the chat. On EU and American servers everyone usually speaks English. I rolled EU initially because a buddy of mine was playing EU servers, and unfortunately you can't switch regions.

With the genocide going on in Gaza, I really don't have the stomach to be reading people talking about Gazans having the genocide coming to them, I also don't want to be reading blatant antisemitism either (a high ask given I'm looking for a WoW classic server). I found someone talking about their left wing guild, but it's on WoW retail sooooo......

I keep every now and then feeling the urge to return and I think it's more because the grind in WoW, especially now that I've realized rogue is the perfect class for me, is a great way to switch off my brain and just play and grind.

When I first played WoW for years, I played with a warlock that I liked thematically but was actually terrible at; I played warlock, warrior and druid, and I was terrible/mediocre at all three, but when I got WoW classic back when it first launched, I played rogue and was blown away by how easy it was to be good at being a rogue, but also how capable they were in solo play as well (which I thought they wouldn't be).

What killed the game for me though was when 'the realization' hit; that realization being the core goal: You farm the current raids over and over and over, so that you can be well geared for when the next raid drops and then you farm that raid over and over and over again, so that you can be well geared for when the next raid drops and then you farm that raid over and over and over again, ad infinitum.

Basically: You farm, so you can farm, so you can farm, so you can farm, etc. infinitely.

I recall when I first did Molten core, my guild and I were terrible and couldn't beat ragnaros the first time, then we went next week and through much struggle managed to kill him, and then I was dismayed because I realized I was going to be back there again next week, and the next, and the next, forever until we were all geared up, so that when the next raid dropped, we could farm that one over and over and over again infinitely, etc. That realization killed the game for me immediately and as far as my guild was concerned, I just dropped off the face of the earth cause I logged out and never wanted to go back in again. What an utterly stupid and awful concept, gameplay intended to make you farm for the rest of your life and to keep giving you reasons to keep logging in forever rather than play something else.

Now however I'm in the mood for something I can do absentmindedly, and the gameplay and artstyle of World of Warcraft are both great for me (world of warcraft classic mind you; I don't think I want to play WoW retail ever again. I stopped playing WoW retail back during wrath of the lich king (2nd expansion pack) and only briefly touched the game during cataclysm. I tested my warlock super briefly during one of the recent expansion packs and was immediately turned off by the bizarre new powers he got and the unintelligible new talent screen). I tried playing guild wars 2, and I have an immense respect for what they accomplished with it, but the way your abilities work is not as fun as WoW and the cartoony artstyle of WoW is more appealing to me.

I'm super tempted to go back, and the rogue's gameplay fits me like a glove. I don't know though if I should go back; when I first played WoW, I was so trash at the game and I never joined a guild, so I missed almost every single raid experience, and I missed the many, many dungeons in Wrath of the lich king and beyond.

I recently decided to download a host of free to play MMOs to try and chase that absentminded grind gameplay, but I already recognize the world of Azeroth and most of the important NPCs and storylines, these other games I know very little or nothing about. Before I get a subscription to WoW again though, I might try Neverwinter at least to see if it scratches that itch (at least Forgotten Realms is somewhat familiar to me).
