Eastern Syria houses a big prison full of ISIS guys, so ISIS wants them back. They hang out and attack the prison every now and again. Countries don’t want their ISIS members back and the SDF is the only ones willing to hold them.

So, every now and again “the coalition” sends some US jets over to bomb them and in return they’ll probably attack a checkpoint in northern Iraq.

Yeah, controller is really the only exciting thing.

No, they killed the hostages and left. If they tried to hold up, and maybe go for a prisoner swap, there’d be more people at risk.

Not claiming Hamas is good but if there’s no resistance, they don’t kill as many people while finding the bodies.

They’re not trying to protect the ‘innocent’, they didn’t want the IDF gunning them down. When they saw the news about the IDF laying waste to everyone, they said “Fuck that,” killed the hostages and left.

Warfighting 101, that’s why you don’t go scorched earth for your hostages. If you make it a smart move to just kill them, they’ll just get killed…

Granted if you’re not looking for the hostages but looking to make your opponent look more inhuman, well, in that case great idea.

Is that what the Israeli forces said to the children they gunned down?

I mean, it’s still the Gameboy Color classic to me…

In one exchange, Sgt Schultz said he “wished he could be Jason Bourne” in reference to the fictional spy character.

After being promised more money from his handler, he said in another message: “I hope so! I need to get my other BMW back!”.

Unless the Army repo’d his Beamer, I’d assume no. He was just bad with money and delusional.

Americans own piles of guns. Russians drink themselves into the ground. Rich people the world over pay for ‘exotic’ hunting trips to shoot endangered animals. All of these things are bad.

The Japanese aren’t the only ones clinging to outdated traditions despite controversy.

The best of both worlds, I’ve got Flash Carts for all my retro consoles and I’m (slowly) working on ODEs for the others! In the cases where an ODE removes the disc drive, I have secondary consoles! My partner hates that the entertainment stand is covered in video games but loves that most of the boxed games are in storage!

The commentators have repeatedly said Russia and Belarus are both banned this year due to the invasion of Ukraine.

Just, They dope like crazy but I guess in Olympic speak that just means they can’t fly the Russian flag.

I would call IT and give them error codes and attempted remedies. They would do house calls and leave with a few rip its. Everyone in my office usually had my call IT because they (my coworkers and the IT guys) knew I’d at least tried something. If someone else from the office called IT, they knew that I was out of the office or the user was lying about something.

It depends who the Republicans and Democrats are. Republican Voters fell in love - Establishment Republicans fell in line. Republican Officials all talked about how terrible Trump was and would be but still get on their knees when it’s time.

Democratic Voters fall in love, with Bernie and AOC and their guy. Establishment Democrats tell them to get in line… Well, the Voters either do or don’t show up.

So, you’re correct that the original subversion was true but it also depends on who any individual commenter references as “The Dems” and “The Repubs” which you can always shift to suit your needs.

The Republican party pretends they’re wagging the dog but they don’t even have a leash.

DOD Imagery guidelines state that only color correction can be applied to “make the image appear the same as it was when it was captured” otherwise it must be labeled “DOD illustration” instead of “DOD Imagery”

Right? I thought I went crazy when I got to “I just used Generative Fill!” Like, he didn’t just auto adjust the exposure and black levels! C’mon!

In my house alone I have two 2DSes, one 3DS, three 2DSXLs, one N3DS, and one N3DSXL.

I’m tempted to get a couple more but I’ve already modded the N3DSXL with a huge SD card and a ton of games. Personally I think the N3DS is more comfortable but I haven’t wanted to transfer everything over to it.

Do you think they crushed a real emoji for the ad too?

Do… Do you actually look at the title and listen to the dialogue?
