Hahaha, don’t be silly.
They want to steal Columbia’s resources of course.
They’ve stolen the Panama canal before.

The US response (media/police/even some of the public) to anything in protest is the most authoritarian response I have ever seen every single time, but I guess that’s understandable when you’re busy fully supporting a genocide and about half a dozen regime changes attempts per year.

“This is absolutely unacceptable and understandably scared travelers,” said US Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy[1:2]. The airports quickly shut down affected systems and searched aircraft out of caution, though no security threats were found[1:3].

Does the computer in your living room get hacked? Check for explosives your basement!
And while we’re at it…

The hack targeted cloud-based audio and display systems through a software provider[3]. “Nobody informed us what was going on, there was no crisis response. Everyone was just really confused,” one Kelowna passenger told CNN[1:4].

bring in the guns!
Let’s have an army of ICE goons walk in next time and have them shoot random passengers
who may look like they could be part of the terrorist hackers!

I had three relationships in grade school and currently one online LDR.
I had another LDR, but she cheated on me, wanted me back after her failed marriage, but I declined.

My experience was that in high school,
I could not even have a chat with a girl
without being thrown accusations or gossip.
And in college all the young women seemed to be taken.

That’s still the case in the online world but you can at least chat a bit with them once in a while.

Did you live pre-internet?

It was way worse in my experience.

Same here during high school and college.
The issues that I remember were:

1. Having a great time chatting to women/girls only to find out they were in a relationship.
2. Going to lively party and there’s 50 guys and 10 women of which 9 are girlfriends and the last one is surrounded.
3. Going to a lively party and noticing a girl/women with an attitude of “Huh, she looks okay, I wonder what she’s like. Maybe she’s great, maybe she’s not, let’s find out.” So I approach her with “Hi my name is Folaht, what’s…?” and immediately get replied “My name is ‘Get the hell away from me RIGHT NOW!’” and then walk off with “Sheesh, I just wanted to go to know someone.” and hear from behind me “No you don’t! You just wanted to GET INTO MY PANTS, WRAGH!!”. As poor as replies can be at dating sites, it’s at least never this bad.
4. Going to a lively party and noticing a girl/women with an attitude of “Huh, she looks okay, I wonder what she’s like. Maybe she’s great, maybe she’s not, let’s find out.” So I approach her with “Hi my name is Folaht, what’s…?” and then a group frat guys noticing and going “OOHHHH… WOLF WHISTLE AWOOOO!!! OW OW OW!!!”.

And these issues were not just present, they were the norm.
Every action I did to just start a conversation was “You trying score” by “getting into her pants”
and every opportunity I think I have had, I ran away from because I felt it went way too quick
and I didn’t want to say ‘yes’ to things I might later backtrack and disappoint the person with,
just because I didn’t want to hurt that person’s feelings at that time.

Russia is currently being attacked willy nilly and there’s talk to do the same with China.

As much as that would make sense considering the pace of previous years, I completely disagree with you that there will be another 4 years of relative calm with a Democrat President.

The US economy is heading towards a depression this year and a the only Roosevelt in sight is Zohran Mamdani who has little chance to win. The next Democrat, barring a fascist takeover, will likely be yet another liberal, followed by a Republican. So too little, too late.

US still has an abundance of coal. Together with the weak monarchic but oil rich Saudi Arabia, the oil rich, but coal poor Soviet Union collapsed. Now there are two alternatives, China’s weaker, but socialist coal industry and the much much much stronger solar photovoltaic industry completely dominated by China again.
It’s both of these developments that are causing the situation to be normal instead of the weird events of 1989-1992 and 2008.

Nice to see an attempt to make English more phonemic, ðough I would make a distiction between þorns and eðs.

Initial costs is quite an important barrier for poor countries.

Where?

One that isn’t controlled to bleat out Netanyahu’s diatribe.

China deployed alternatives to everything.
Alternatives to Nvidia AI chips, Volkswagen cars, TSMC chip foundries,
ASML lithography machines, ChatGPT AI software, F22 fighter jets.

And China has superior class solar panels, wind turbines, electric grids and batteries.

The EU has lithography machines that’s dependent on the US
and electric cars that are inferior to Tesla and those are their crown jewels.

If you’re astonished, then you haven’t read any history of the US.
It’s so much steeped in blood and so wildly capitalist
that it’s more astonishing that it was able to not collapse
and keep a good image during the 20th century.
It’s saving grace is having the largest deposits of coal by far,
but with solar power on the rise that’s not cutting it anymore.

Seconded, why?

I have two questions:

Other than saying “Gun deaths are worth keeping the 2nd amendment”,
and “I can’t stand the word empathy” making his gun death ironic,
did he say or do things that are as vile as Lindsey Graham
or as unhinged, untruthful and provocatively violent as Alex Jones?
All I know him for is “the white supremacist that’s against the Palestine genocide (for his own reasons)”
and someone that doesn’t get that job security allows for allows for more children, not anything else,
while he harps about not enough (Anglo-American) babies being born in the US.

And considering what happened
and as a tribute to Charlie Kirk,
should we arm more people?

Exactly, although turning the US into a dinosaur park does sound tempting.

Yes, civil war has started.

It deserves to be retaken by the rightful owners of the land.

Lol @ impeached.

This is not a scandal.
He’s declaring war.
There is no impeachment in war.
