The US (and international coalition) very openly arms the Kurds in Northern Iraq, and through the SDF (YPG and YPJ are DTOs so they can’t technically send to them) in Syria while Turkey shells the aid workers responding to earthquakes. To assume they stop arming the Kurds at the border implies Iran has excellent border security.

An armed Kurdish population gives Turkey something to play strongman against. They know it’s happening.

Vote with your wallet works if everyone agrees with you…

And the amount of people that love gambling makes it clear that most people do not agree with me.

State department can’t always evacuate everyone. Can’t spend the big bucks doing an extraction on every American because one building got hit. When the region was getting hot in 2021, state department had like five five-seater jump planes in the area to do everything.

Now you’ve got hundreds of people getting squirrelly and demanding a flight now when the airspace is not looking great.

Okay, rephrasing it then “What are Americans doing in near proximity to a place that has been a war zone for more than 20 years due to US intervention in the region?” and the answer is “Either profiting off of US oil interests or propping up the tourism industry of US interested parties.”

Guess I’m a sports writer now. I can make that work.

Steam library is at over 2000 games, yet it’s always Arc Raiders, Minecraft, and Peglin. Can’t get them to play a game with an actual story for the life of me.

“I was talking with my Dad about how I was planning to vote for Trump after seeing all the good he was doing for this country. He was so excited he handed me a firearm, as is tradition in our family, but he failed to inform me it was loaded and it tragically went off. Since we don’t let liberals handle guns in this household, Dad never taught me proper gun handling. Now that I’m a future and forever Trump voter though, I’m sure this won’t happen again.”

Checkmate, Sheriff.

You press it against your face, put it face down on the table, shove it in your pocket, and then rub your fingers all over it…

Who am I kidding? Most people just rub their fingers all over it all day and also don’t wash their hands. Phones can be a wonderland for germs.

But your masters do, so you will live without gaming PC. Enjoy subscription streaming gaming from now on.

People also made more, dollar to dollar, so they could afford a more expensive appliance…

And if they didn’t? Well, we don’t think about them when we think of the idealized appliances of the past.

I can’t tell you how many times I emailed someone last week asking that they don’t send me any sensitive information over insecure channels.

Use a pen board behind your pages and every third or so page so a scribble page just to be sure.

Except for when that open carrying leftist Vet got shot by the Uber driving other Vet when he decided that a low carry was a threatening posture and got off.

Firefox… I mean, regular old from the app store Firefox… Not even Waterfox or anything, just Firefox.

How did you end up at Brave without knowing Firefox could do all that?

The Latitudes are balls in the worst way. Including the new “Pro” models. I’ve had i7 and i9 Latitudes that are slower than my i5 XPS 13, and yeah that thing sucks too but at least it sucks predictably.

I bet you a dollar that the ratio of votes on your post will be some number by January 11th.

I bet you a dollar that President Trump will not live to see 2037.

We’re just two people making bets here. Anyone want to sidebar on this action?

Just keep old computers is all. Eventually your spec will be considered ‘retro computing’ and you can still enjoy the thousands of games that are playable on real hardware.

You posting on the Internet is also useless digital garbage, so put your money where your mouth is and go do something productive.

Just log into the Anet Account associated with the game.

Also, I still have my original games, in box.
