How do we stop Iran killing their own citizens? I know, we kill them first! I are very smart!

Nah, cows can’t move that fast.
They can’t fly either…
And none of this ‘working from home’ rubbish. If you’re not infecting all your coworkers, are you even trying?
I mean, if we can’t be a properly grown up functioning member of the international community any more, we should at least be a cautionary tale…
Holy shit, Troy Baker is doing an incredible Harrison Ford impression…
I’m dubious on the first person stuff, especially since they seem to have put a lot of work into recreating Ford’s likeness. But I was dubious about Cyberpunk too, and that turned out OK, so what do I know?
Cautiously optimistic.
A few quotes from the article, for anyone looking at the headline asking “what does that mean?”
China had called the poll a choice between war and peace. Beijing strongly opposes [Ruling-party candidate] Lai
While domestic issues such as the sluggish economy and expensive housing also featured prominently in the campaign, Lai’s Democratic Progressive Party’s appeal to self-determination, social justice and rejection of China’s threats ultimately won out. It’s the first time a single party has led Taiwan for three consecutive four-year presidential terms since the first open presidential election in 1996.
Lai and incumbent President Tsai Ing-wen reject China’s sovereignty claims over Taiwan, a former Japanese colony that split from the Chinese mainland amid civil war in 1949. They have, however, offered to speak with Beijing, which has repeatedly refused to hold talks and called them separatists.
I’ve heard people saying everyone should be more involved in local politics, but I don’t think this is what they have in mind…
but sometimes you get a “false elector” who legally overrides democracy and votes for a different candidate.
Genuine questions - how often does that happen? It can’t be a lot, and it can’t make the deciding vote, right, otherwise the whole system would have been ripped apart by the media long ago…
While true, the Tory party that won the last election looks a bit different to the gobshites that are in government now.
Don’t get me wrong, I thought the last lot were assholes as well, but while technically legal, swapping out basically all of the government several times seems like a bit of a bait and switch.
I assume his slogan was “Well I’m not as bad as Priti ‘fuck you I got mine’ Patel”…
It’s security software - firewalls, VPNs, that sort of thing. It’s not that it’s not available anywhere else, but the Israeli stuff was always considered among the best before this conflict kicked off.
Ah, but from where I sit (a long way from the US), it looks more like a pissing contest between the Republicans to see who can be the most terrible human being in government, than it does look like any sort of actual policy or principal.
It’s not about helping Ukraine, or avoiding the mistakes of Afghanistan - it’s about trying to make Biden (and/or ‘The Dems’ in general) look bad, even if that involves civilian deaths.
Are they evil, Russian agents or just absolute clowns? It doesn’t really matter, does it. The end result is the same.
… they’re the same picture
Me? I’m a Brit. I loathe everything Trump stands for.
Enjoy a second Trump presidency!
“Rent for £3.99”
But I already pay for Amazon Prime, wtf? Greedy bastards…
More meat for the grinder.

There were literally decades of violence and terrorism over that, so clearly someone cares.
That being said, But then I’m Welsh and live in England, I do not have a horse in this race. If the people in NI want to unify with Ireland and regain all their EU citizenship benefits as well as removing the whole “Northern Ireland border issue”, then I wouldn’t blame them at all.
