How many Palestinians are gonna be killed by a Trump presidency vs a Biden presidency?

I’ve got more uncles than my siblings and I can cancel out - wanna help us? :P

To be clear, I didn’t necessarily state I advocated for those things, but the prompt was for what interests the US has in being involved in Ukraine.

Whether it is right or justified is another matter, but it is undeniably of significant importance for a state to be able to show it can project force/inflict harm on those it deems a problem.

As for US involvement in the Middle East…yeah…not great. US involvement in Ukraine? I’d say it’s a different story since we are actually wanted there by the Ukrainian people, and it is reasonably likely that Russia would be involved in Ukraine whether or not it wished to be involved with the West, as it is valuable land in an area of historical Russian influence, and the crackpot ideology of Putin’s Russia all but demands its subjugation (no, really, shit’s wild).

I think you’re conflating “maintaining a global hegemonic order” with “fucking up a nation that has actively tried to harm the United States AND is provably committing war crimes.”

Is American hegemony all sunshine and roses? Fuck no lol

At least it is built more on consensus of member states than a hegemony built up by dictatorships like Russia (which, let’s be real, isn’t ever gonna be a global hegemon) or China?

Not giving a hostile power control of 20% of the world’s grain supply is a good one.

Demonstration of American commitment to stopping its enemies worldwide is always handy.

Weakening of a major geopolitical enemy’s military capabilities for a fraction of the cost of a conventional war.

That’s just off the top of my head, though.

Same lol

Between that and the random shit it has listed as what I get ads for…it isn’t a whole lot. I spend most of time looking up highly specific things on Wikipedia or out of immediate utility, so I suppose I’m just not that interesting…also ublock origin ftw

We should allow people who pull similar shit to die the same way as Crassus lol

Is this another instance of Shinzo Abe begging his citizens to have kids from beyond the grave?

Anyone else love how this guy so confidently just goes, “your scientifically backed up claims are wrong because I saw something that contradicted it once?”

Same energy as “global warming isn’t real because I saw snow in January”

MAGA: “Migrants are burning down cities all the time (somehow), and injecting bleach stops coronavirus!”

(So-called) BlueMAGA: “I dislike some of Biden’s policies and his response to Gaza, but I want someone responsible in charge.”

anticolonialist: “I literally cannot tell the difference!”

It’s pretty sad that your comments were removed, as discussing the logical conclusion of these situations is important.

We can’t simply plug our ears and ignore the very real dangers of the justice system failing to punish people (whether justified or not). When people determine they have no other recourse, political violence is the logical conclusion of such a situation.

It’s a terrible thing that there is a real chance for political violence to become mainstream, and simply ignoring that possibility is more dangerous than addressing it openly.

Meanwhile, I’m over here unable to find an IT job :')

God I hope so

I think the deal is more “My family is safe and healthy and that is important to me” over “wow I don’t care at all about dead foreign kids.”

In a 2-party system, sometimes that’s the best you can get… and frankly, I give more of a shit about myself and my friends/family who would be much worse off under Republicans than Democrats, enough that if I have to id vote Democrat every time until the immediate threat of Republicans is dealt with.

And again, because you just don’t seem to get it, Republicans have an even worse track record on the middle east lol. (Not intended as a whataboutism - more as an explanation that the two-party system sucks, and how not voting for one effectively means the other wins)

Ah gotcha

You thinking of Vanced? Revanced is updated pretty regularly

Oh yeah, now it’s all pretty standardized with like the same screws for everything.

Its no longer quite as silly with the specific steps to follow, but god, is it boring as all hell to work with too lol

I worked on mostly Chromebook repairs for 6 months last year, and I found it to be pretty straightforward as well from a hardware standpoint…especially when there was no point in doing most repairs because it would cost more than just getting a new one.

For any OS issues, we’d simply take a flash drive and reinstall it from scratch. It’s definitely gotten easier, but holy crap could it be slow as hell lol

Something something Steisand effect…

I mean, the article says that “even if you lived 1,000 years, the amount inhaled would be less than the average single dose of a user” so I don’t get the point you’re trying to make
