Russia also maintains a no first strike policy, unless that changed since I last got stuck in a rabbit hole about nuclear policy. The US is the only major country in the world to maintain a first strike policy with nuclear weapons that I know of.

Actually they can’t, they have a legal obligation under the UN Convention on Genocide to take extra-territorial actions in order to stop or prevent genocide. They are acting within international law. The ships going to Israel despite the active genocide are violating international law and complicit in the genocide themselves.
You don’t have to try to eradicate an entire nation to commit genocide, either. There’s a convention on this thing, you know…
He says that the groundwork they laid was by not intervening enough in the Middle East and Asia…. Am I reading that right?
Apparently he was the inspiration for Professor Newtonium in Powerpuff Girls. Most unexpected part of that article.
If the media didn’t want him to win, they shouldn’t have called the race before even 10% of the state got a chance to vote. There’s going to be hundreds, possibly thousands of people who left caucuses early when they heard the race was called. The media is not only complicit in his win there, they have also exposed themselves to retaliation from campaigns and voters alike.
I didn’t even know podcast ads were a thing, you learn something new every day. Good luck! I hope you are able to find something, fuck ads!
I know the one you’re talking about, and I’ve never heard anyone reference that game before, even online. You’re right, he does look similar.
Lmao. You should look up where all the poverty reductions of the last 10 years were. It wasn’t in the west.
Even by US standards if we go back a few decades. HW negotiated a ceasefire in Israel, and sectors both sides spent time and money trying to dismantle the nuclear arsenal. Biden is “modernizing” it. He’s genuinely to the right of the Republican Party just a couple decades ago in many ways.
A reasonable position to take.
Honestly, unless you’re on last gen consoles, it’s been worth playing since launch. Its bugs were no worse than Skyrim on consoles, and less bad in many ways. The game itself is probably the most open world immersive sim we’ve ever gotten. It’s not GTA, and it’s not trying to be. It’s not a sandbox, and it’s not a psychopath simulator like GTA. It’s a deep, philosophical, highly emergent single player game with a well-written story and competent acting in probably one of the most beautiful game worlds of all time.
When coupled with electric buses and high speed trains, they’re plenty fine. We’re not going to reach a level of infrastructure anytime soon where all travel can be accomplished through public infrastructure, even in China where they have ten times the public transport infrastructure of the US.
Electric cars by themselves aren’t a good thing, as in, the USian belief in “an electric car for every person” is insane and if they convince even half the world of it we’re going to destroy the other half mining minerals, but using electric cars to supplement sustainable infrastructure and support areas yet without access to public transit is a necessary step on the path towards sustainability.
Number nine?
Libby is the service my library uses. The state capital gives everyone a free library card also, so I get access to a much wider library than i would otherwise. Bullshit the restrictions publishers require, like forcing the library to buy a license for each “copy” of a book it loans, but libraries are still fighting the good fight more than anywhere else I know.

Ray Traced particles are pretty cool in Returnal and Control.
Wow great info, thanks so much for doing all that legwork! It makes sense that Putin would put less stock into the policy than did his predecessors, because while the leaked Soviet archives show the USSR was genuinely terrified of nuclear war and mostly built up in response to US expansion of nuclear programs, I feel like Putin sees it more as a tool for intimidation.
