  • I’ve always said the center of the world is Zaranj, a place that I definitely knew about more than 5 minutes ago.

  • Ah okay, that makes a lot more sense then. I can’t really see how a court (in the us at least) would consider that monopolistic.

  • It looks fun and interesting, I might check it out tomorrow and if it runs too badly I can just refund it.

  • I think that Valves contract or whatever stipulates that the devs have to sell it for the same amount as it’s listed on Steam if they are to sell it on their own.

  • Oof, mostly negative reciews. I think I’ll stick to the demo for a little while longer.

  • I’m sure a few of them are based in Gitmo

  • They ought to be lined up against a wall and released of their mortal coil. I understand Rodríguez has to walk a tight rope in order to maintain the Bolivarian Revolution, but freeing political opponents was one of Gaddafi’s worst mistakes. I hope at the very least they are closely monitored.

  • “Now he is in what he used to refer to as ‘the great lecture hall in the sky,’” his son, Christian, reflected

  • According to Max Blumenthal, Marxist scholar, political scientist, and historian Micheal Parenti passed earlier this morning at the age of 92. Source

  • When I was studying housing we used unhoused for the most part. It’s definitely the preferred term for progressives in the US.

  • While the ground war has slowed quite a bit as it does every winter, the war in the air is as hot as ever. The recent Russian strikes on electrical infrastructure have crippled power in Kiev, so much so Zelensky announced a state of emergency. Although Ukraine has face power shortages in major cities before, they have never been this bad. Ukraine has been focusing on trying to do a 'Black Sea Blockade' by striking shipping bound for Russia. They seem to be mostly using long range aerial attack drones, so they have relatively small payloads that aren't enough to sink ships, but I'm sure shipping companies aren't to happy about it. Last weak Russia used it's nuclear-capable Oreshnik intermediate-range ballistic missile for the second time to strike the Lviv State Aviation Repair Plant. Their is some hearsay about another Oreshnik strike happening soon, but it could be that the new long-range variant of the Iskander ballistic missile with a range 1000km, compared to the base variant which only has a range of 500km. Everything on the ground hasn't been entirely quite since winter began, Russian forces recently took control of Prymorske which puts them within 15km of the outskirts of Zhaporizhia, which is likely to be a target that the Russians advance towards in the coming year. The fight for Zhaporizhia, which had a prewar population nearly twice that of Mariupol, would be the largest city Russia has taken, although Ukrainian manpower may have degraded so much that taking the city won't require the same long siege that Mariupol did. It still take some time before the Russians get to that point as they will have to ford the Konka River and Russian forces from the east have around 70km to go through before they get to the city, so it could take until next year for the Russians to fully close in on the city. Other than Zhaporizhia, Russia has started another incursion into the Sumy region to relieve pressure on Kupiansk, which Ukraine had dedicate a large amount of manpower to recapture.

  • Yeah, even though the ‘Sewer Socialists’ in the us were successful in improving public health and safety, they failed to build a major movement to abolish the system which had created poor public health in the first place.

  • The technical term would be municipalization, although in the us this can also mean the creation of a sub-county level municipality where their previously was none.

  • WSJ post articles in r/UkraineRussiaReport which is kinda funny considering most people their are pro Russian

  • Now that I think about it more, it might be that they are trying to show that they could land troops if they wanted to, but it seems unnecessarily risky considering how vulnerable they are to MANPADs. I don't have any sources for this, just pure speculation.

  • I've seen to many faked clips using arma 3 that I don't trust anything that isn't in plain daylight. They love to use darkness to conceal the more obvious aspects, although obviously we would have to wait a couple more hours for that.

  • Hopefully its an even worse version of Hostomel. Death to the fascist dogs.

  • That is what I figured why they are phrasing it that way, but I think a toddler given the relevant information could make the determination that this is the doing of the US. It feels like they think their viewers are infants.

  • The Venezuelan government has issued a statement denouncing the military attacks and calling for popular mobilization. According to the govt, defense plans have been activated. "The entire country must stand up to defeat this imperialist aggression" Source
