My university received a few years ago the promise of the largest single gift to a public university in U.S. history. It was equivalent to 12 hours of bombing Iran.

Shows what you know the meme there was her *hips.*

But I spent more time on the Dragon Age boards.

Oh for sure I'm just going even further lol.

Personally I also prefer it when I click the "my character is angry" dialog option, hearing them express that anger and other characters react to it, is a more meaningful "choice with consequences" than determining, for example, which slide the narrator reads to me at the end of the game.

I can: The Silent Protagonist others the perspective and ego of the player in a way that encourages Gamer Solipsism; the sense that they own the story, that it's not a collaborative experience, that the protagonist is apart from and above the world as it is portrayed and not existing within it.

This time I checked to see how many people blocked me for a specific interaction and laughed because it was only the one person I was criticizing, you love too see it.

good idea, but it might be dangerous. perhaps he could instead visit the saudi consulate in istanbul?

[thousand yard stare as hundreds of Bioware Social Network arguments flash before my eyes like I'm recalling the Somme]

Funny enough I'm also on a blocklist for being an AI hater!

Put me on a list of "antisemitic commie Nazis"? Ok, you're just a bizarre lunatic. But "AI enjoyers?" What the fuck man.

It's very Poster of me that of all the blocklists I'm on for egregious and indefensible reasons, the one that irritates me the most is "AI enjoyers."

"haha the libs will be so triggered when we use born in the usa for our right wing patriotic video"

i think at this point they do it to troll everyone who knows this

Never forget that this what The Washington Post said when Noem was nominated.

Holy fuck this is how they report "Senator breaks veteran's arm"

It’s not disingenuous to point out that the NYT did not run a single front page story of the Minab bombing. You don’t dispute this claim because it’s true. And the story that you reference on your webpage does not attribute blame to US/Israel and frames it as an allegation by “Iranian state media”

Trump himself is an obvious exception because I'm not sure he believes other people really exist.

Geriatric Democrats think they're personally irreplaceable and God's gift to politics, meanwhile sub-retirement age Republicans routinely tactically step aside to preserve their numbers and vigor.

Others are disputing the 40,000 number. I think it's also worth disputing the 47 years, unless Dr. Salles claim is that Iran wasn't living under oppression with the Shah.

The four Dems who voted to re-open DHS w/ no restrictions on ICE are: Henry Cuellar (TX), Don Davis (NC), Jared Golden (ME), and Marie Glusenkamp Perez.

Of those four, Cuellar won his primary, Davis was not challenged, and Golden is retiring.

Perez's primary is August 4th.

Man, Spurs are really going for it (relegation)

You seem to be denying the concept of expertise here. People have studied this. Iranians are not the first people to suffer under an oppressive regime and get bombed. Guess what happened the other times.

"Oh so doctors know better than me, someone with a cold, as to what causes colds?"

The argument I am making here is that there is vast evidence that this is never true, and that this carries greater weight than standpoint claims -- especially from the diaspora.

Everyone who has ever supported the idea of bombing an unpopular regime to liberate it has made the claim they are special and it will be different this time.

I am not aware of a single case since the introduction of aerial bombing

This is like a historian wading into a medical topic and saying it's inconceivable that viruses cause common colds.
