And Rings of Power is the best Tolkien adaptation.

That might’ve been the plan all along.

No, and they never were. Hezbollah is clearly attacking Israel, however.

Certainly going for the people at the top will ultimately result in less killing. The alternative is to just try to kill all the Hezbollah members.

Is Hezbollah still attacking Israel?

Huh. Time to buy some stock.

I sure fucking hope it’s not 94% for Republicans.

The person you replied to said that

All fascist ideologies will use the argument of “Protecting the children”

Did they? Did you just make a reverse strawman fallacy?

Rooting for bad people in fiction is a fine way to process that part of your own self with no actual risks or consequences. If doing that turns people bad, then playing role-playing games turns people into satan worshippers.

I miss the time when people realized that fiction, even if possibly metaphoric, is ultimately not real.

Hey don’t blame me. You’re the one who used the A-word in a place filled with OCD nitpickers and in a discussion around CSAM.

I’m not terribly against stealing money from maga dumb idiots with too much money.

It’s not a surprise that this is happening, but the magnitude is. It’s much much worse than you expected.

What is confusing to me is why would it matter to Putin if Trump lied here? The Russian mode of government is lying and deception after all.

France can probably already give them all the channel logs decrypted, like Russia has been able to since June 19, 2020. It took them too long to get there, but at least they finally did.

I wonder how many bytes were spent sending these three words to my screen.

Does one side disregarding the Geneva convention mean the other is free to do so?

I mean yeah if both conventions revolve around the same thing, like for instance if the same hospital is both a sanctuary for civilians but also being used by soldiers. A more general whataboutism is another thing.
