I hate that I’m supporting Modi’s government on anything, but I guess it was inevitable in this case. Tariffman doesn’t have bros, only potential suckers he’s currently buttering up, and people whose dicks he wants to choke on, and Modi’s dick is just too brown for his tastes.

Be cheaper to source things from in house. Tariffs, y’know.

4 months is honestly pretty quick for legal proceedings. Meanwhile, we had 4 fucking years to prosecute Tariffman, with goddamn jack to show for it.

So, what, the genocide has reached the point where further attention from him is no longer necessary?

Man, it’s almost like Zionists are the actual destabilizing element in the region or something. Imagine that.

Obviously, because being the target of a genocide 80 years ago gives you a free pass to do whatever you want forever. Russia’s problem is that they’ve never been hit with a genocide themselves, so they don’t get a free pass. /S

Yes, thank you, I’m well aware that internet randos are people. And I like not having to deal with them while I’m unwinding. Why is that a “problem”?

I mean, I hate playing with internet randos anyway, so that’s not actually a downside for me.

Pretty sure it’s just typical “fuck you, got mine” mentality.

Welcome to FPTP voting. System is working as designed.

Well, for one, Russia will have been forced to expend a shitton of lives and war materiel, and will be forced to expend a shitton more putting down the resultant Ukrainian insurgency. Crippling the Russian military for a generation is no small thing.

It’s leave, you idiot! Make like a tree and leave! You sound like a damn fool when you say it wrong.

Where exactly do they think the Gazans can go?

Judging from what’s already happened multiple times in the past couple months, the Gazans can go gather in one place to get conveniently bombed.

I took it as mockery of the transparently flimsy pretexts given by the IDF, myself, rather than anything about the victims.

Kinda surprised they’re giving payouts at all and not just suppressing them, considering that they’ve been skimping out on the payouts for KIA soldiers.

I mean, sure. That’s basically how always-online DRM for games works. But the fact is that you do still have the disc with data on it, so generally it’s just a matter of time before someone comes up with a way to bypass or spoof the DRM.

With the obvious caveat that IANAL, I think there’s a distinction to be made between the physical medium that an IP is distributed on, if any, and the IP itself. Like, when you buy a movie on DVD you obviously don’t own the IP. But strictly speaking, you don’t even own that particular copy of the movie as encoded on the disc you bought. But you do own the disc itself, which just happens to have a copy of the movie on it. So while a publisher can always pull their IPs, and make it illegal for people to distribute them, they can’t come and take the discs that you already legally own.

I suppose the question is whether or not the rebels can maintain their momentum, especially since it doesn’t seem like they currently have any overt foreign backing.

but muh 20-d chess

What a fucking clown. Shareholders should be holding him personally liable for tanking the company.

About fucking time, holy shit.
