It’s not sad, but there’s a lot of anxiety inducing moments.

He also stopped wearing most of his gold after being down in New Orleans helping clean up from Katrina. Said he felt it was wrong to be displaying such wealth when he was staring at people who had just lost literally everything.

And then their server center burns down from the enormous influx of traffic, Musk pockets the money, and the entire world sweeps into something worse than the Depression because a good chunk of the entire world economy simply doesn’t exist now.

Nah, what he promised him is exactly what we see: $500B in rare earths, every year. Trump’s always been a terrible dealer, and this is no exception: he doesn’t do back-and-forth, he just tosses his entire hand on the table and says “here’s what I want”, then bullies you into accepting. If you don’t, he’ll either harass you, or back out saying YOU sabotaged the deal because you didn’t give him what he wanted immediately.

This is pretty much the story of the entire Land Warrior program. Nobody ever expected it to be a Real Thing, it was always a pie-in-the-sky boondoggle to make a shitload of money for the MIC.

Don’t forget ICE going into schools and boarding schoolbuses so they can arrest Hispanic-looking kids. They didn’t just accelerate the genocide, they imported it home.

Anthem and Andromeda were actually pretty good as bases to work off of. I truly believe Anthem could’ve succeeded in the stated mission of “Destiny Killer” if they had put work into making it good, building it into a good instanced MMO. Same with Andromeda - actually pretty good game that just had a rough start, and could’ve been great if the studio had put time and effort into DLC.

But the metric is never “how many people are actually saying this is a good game and they enjoy it”, it’s “did this literally smash every other game out there on release.”

Not different. The Clinton admin invented the term whole cloth in order to not have to get involved in Rwanda.

Sheinbaum was right in that you need to figure out what HIS facts are, and then lie to him from there.

Pretty much this. Even with modern equipment, it would be a huge feat of engineering to fix the locks in a short enough timeframe to not have a huge effect on the world economy. Without the Panama Canal, cargo ships are gonna be burning WEEKS navigating around the Cape or coming around through the Arctic.

There’s also the fact that they reached a “ceasefire” with Lebanon and still had soldiers and tanks shooting at people there literally the day after.
