Source thread. For once redditors are calling it out as obvious war propaganda. Mostly because its so shitty and dumb to advertise that your military is such shit that you need child soldiers.

Hamas absolutely wanted an invasion by taking so many hostages. Theres no way they couldn’t see that coming. The question is Hamas actually plans on defeating that invasion force or if they want to go out in a blaze of glory.

That interview was almost certainly staged holy shit it read like a TV show with banter and all.

Let’s not give r/chapo that much credit though. It was clearly picked up in a sweep due to the George Floyed protests.

One of the hosts from “well there’s your problem” did a video on one of the reasons why trains are so expensive.

US law mandates that all US train cars be US made. But there are no US companies that make passenger train cars because the company that made all passenger train cars in the US, Budd co, went out of business because their train cars were too good and never went bad.

So if you want any sort of passenger train system, you must pony up for a foreign company to build an entire factory in your state, just to build the train cars you need (probably using Budd Co. licensed designs), and then close shop.

Edit: the youtube video, its long: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=CEjozE--YrY

Civ is so essentially bourgeoisie that the fundamental unit of the game are cities. The rest of the land just exists to be worked. There was a cool and hard scenario in civ4 where you played as the mongols in yurts which were both units and cities.

The real “spot the ideology” moment was in 5 they introduced “ideologies” which were, Order (communism), Autocracy (fascism), and then Freedom which had a 1800s musketmen holding a flag for a picture while the other two were clearly industrial workers and soldiers. An honest picture would’ve been an artdeco business man.

Big news everyone. Ukraine is off the reddit front page for the first time in over a month.

Now I’m seeing more anti-china stuff. Can’t tell people have genuinely lost interest, or there’s been a policy shift, or simply someone’s PR contract expired.

AVOID SWEATING

ESPECIALLY WHEN SLEEPING

You’ll want to layer it up and be as toasty as possible can so sleep sound. But the battle isn’t over. If you’re so warm you start sweating in your sleep you’ll ruin your blankets and wake up with frosted toes, if you wake.

You’ll want to ignore the damp creeping in. You just want to escape the nightmare. You don’t escape in cold nights, you just survive and persevere. Day is your friend in the winter without heat not the night.

I have criticized the CCP for creating their own bourgeoise and the letting them into their communist party. Breaking up Alibaba is good. Purging Jack Ma is better. The CCP must purge all their bourgeoise now that they successfully have increased their productive capacity.
