I disagree, they can close the straight because missles.

However 100% of Iranian oil goes through that straight so what they are doing is reminding us not to blow up Khargg island.

Whatever Putin says it is

Putin gets his drones from Iran

100%.

PLUS

Putin is hanging Krasnov out to dry on Ukraine.

They are making progress against the fascists, so let’s trot out the wedge issues for the centrists and leftists to fight about.

This calls for some Lee Greenwood in the background

This was my 2nd computer (and the first one I paid for because my brother bought the Sinclair).

I wrote a kicking version Frogger that was compatible with the Atari 2600 joystick.

Maybe the best thing I ever wrote.

This was the very first time I wrote a software that’s only problem was the operating system couldn’t keep up.

I made a pong-like game!

So you are saying that a father of a girl at any class level in a feudal society cared not about the ability of a mate to provide for his daughter or grandchildren?

That kings and earls didn’t bring wealth and power into matchmaking calculations?

Because a man’s prospects weren’t important in feudal, classical, and ancient societies?

It’s not a first amendment issue. They are paid employees and he can determine what they do with the government paid for research

Trump started attacking them. There are a lot of things, but the members of the SCOTUS are not stupid.

The more he ignores the Law the more he takes power from them.

Other than Congress, nobody wants to lose power.

Most of getting that rich is choosing the right parents.

Modi is Trump light, but Pakistan is led by a combination of ignorance, misogyny, and incompetence that is geopolitically destabilizing.

Like at my local store. I can choose to buy a bottle of water or I can get water somewhere else.

With healthcare or utilities, for example, you don’t have an option so they cannot be considered free markets and should be regulated.

Adam Smith was the biggest proponent of free markets.

However in “The Wealth of Nations” he makes clear that if all participants cannot choose NOT to participate, it is NOT a free market and should be regulated.

I believe this is just a case of “greater fool” syndrome.

Also, what is the Lemmy version of Rimjob Steve?
