I was more of a MCOSOFT ΓΛAX guy myself. Never could quite wrap my head around MARL.

I'm at the point now where if there's an AI slop image at the top, I'll just hit the back button.

> Then when the ticket winners were selected, he filtered by zip code so he had an almost entirely white audience

How did that work in the 80s? Did he spend days and weeks poring through (paper) census data and correlating it with ZIP codes? Did he use VisiCalc on an Apple ][ or Lotus 1-2-3 on an IBM PC?

Whatever his other misdeeds, I never got a racist vibe off MJ.

Is it just me or did the US get into a lot more foreign conflicts after they swapped "War" for "Defense" in the name?

I do wonder why the occupation authorities did the exact opposite for Germany, emphasizing war crimes, collective guilt, etc, since (West) Germany was also a bulwark against the Soviet bloc?

They can restart them and/or build new ones. Fission isn't some lost technology like Greek fire or Damascus steel.

> I really can’t think of any. Is even Iraq considered a success?

It was for Netanyahu, and that's the important thing here.

It's because we do these things not for American interests, but for the interests of a small country that has captured our political establishment through campaign finance and blackmail.

It's always funny to me how every few years some Republican representative/senator gets the bright idea of running on "cutting foreign aid", then someone quietly points out most foreign aid goes to either Israel or Israel's neighbors so they play nice with Israel. Then the proposal is quietly dropped.

I have heard of RT lying but I have never actually seen examples of specific lies. Is there any list out there where they list any specific ones? If they do it a lot, it should be quite easy, no?

But what would you do with all the waste chlorine?

I'd gladly pay the 78 cents for a stamp if it meant my application was opened and read by an actual human.

> they had a lot more trouble than competitors in coming up with new models.

I'd read somewhere that it was mainly because Henry Ford was dogmatic that the Model T was perfect, all the car anyone would ever need forever.

It will stand. Walz, Frey, & Co. have zero intention of protecting their citizens from ICE predation. The local police sit on their hands.

But I'm sure this strongly worded editorial will get Trump to reconsider.

They're certainly not backwards about coming forward with their tummy bananas...
