Cripple. History Major. Irritable and in constant pain. Vaguely Left-Wing.

  • Will the political will to start an actual shooting war with the US be there?

  • Theoretically yes. This is an issue that has been considered before, though admittedly not with regards to fucking Greenland. Turkiye and Greece have long been enemies as well as members of NATO, and it's been considered that the invocation of Article 5 by the aggressed-upon party against the aggressing party in case of a serious war would, theoretically, be binding on the other members of NATO.

    In practice, NATO is a gentleman's agreement with no means of enforcement. Everything comes down to political will - NATO is just an organizational structure to facilitate a response. It cannot replace the will (or lack thereof) of national governments.

  • That's impossible. You would've died of dysentery long ago!

  • Back in The Day, you'd write on CDRs with sharpie so you knew what each one contained.

  • That or the ol' tan cased dinosaurs.

    The gray Dell helped me through many-a "100 Games!" disc...

  • Something changed culturally between Usenet and the things that came after.

    Me, who only started into online communities in the early 2000s:

  • But the extent to which the fediverse seems to like to do this stuff just seems really extreme to me, and a lot of times what it’s based on is just weird petty bullying nonsense.

    Not saying that it isn't a problem, but as someone who's been Around(tm) online, this is pretty par-for-the-course stuff.

    Ah, to remember the glory days of Livejournal and Tumblr... and don't get me started back in the days when every fandom had a dozen sites which all hated each other for vague and extremely personal reasons.

  • Stress helped me lose 20 pounds in three months last year .

    I wouldn't recommend it.

  • No, I reserve all my hate for Tingle

  • The mask is more iconic than the kid, the mask gave me nightmares for years

  • I don’t know who needs to hear this (everyone, apparently) but it isn’t a virtue to make people angry.

    ... okay?

    You didn’t win because you pissed someone off, a child can do that.

    Bruh, being amused that other people kvetch about you when you aren't present, and thinking that you 'won' because you 'made' someone angry are two entirely different concepts.

  • Not as such, no, sadly, this badge refers to industrial hemp rather than recreational strains. Still, I found it funny.

  • Serious beef.

  • Laughing about other people being preoccupied with you.

  • Me, not even knowing where my phone is (I am unreachable by any human power I don't want to reach me)

  • "What are you up to today, my scheming eunuch?"

    "Miao"

  • Sometimes I run across folks talking about me like I'm the boogeyman, and I find it amusing.

  • Bartell, who remains supportive of Trump’s immigration stance,

    Fuckwit.
