My dream workplace, where I had an open job offer for a good while, just so happens to make the airframe, wings, fuselage and control surfaces for … predator drones. Hard pass.

From the reverse direction, said portal is blessed. Provided it blocks pigs and snitches, that is.

We want Spammers to stick with Substack, then.

Thinking about it, e-mails are useful for downloading and reading later, if one isn’t consistently connected to the internet. The main reason I stopped with e-mail newsletters is that, eventually, most only gave previews of the content with links back to the website.

Same reason I don’t use e-billing - the actual bill is basically NEVER in the e-mail in any useful form.

… and? Yeah, welcome to the thread. At what point do I say otherwise?

Starving the regime is not an excuse to starve the country. The regime doing anything that brings in more money than it spends is a better use of its time than other things it tries to do, and will continue attempting regardless of cash-flow.

Call me when you’re ready to impiment a no-fly zone and mass air-dropping/smuggling of Starlink, Cell Phones, Cell Towers(stand-alone, like the Stinger, only in reverse), weapons, and most importantly, food.

Are you ready to do something about the problem of starving North Koreans, or do we just continue blaming it entirely on their government?

… yeah, that will show them. Meanwhile, do you even begin to understand how food is distributed within North Korea?

India and Pakistan, circa 1998 … You’re telling us the world ended because we didn’t starve them all out.

Not enough resemblance to Robbie Rotten…

Rather spies, soldiers, whatever, work remotely for western companies than whatever other bull their government wants them doing.

That truck isn’t remotely long enough to explain this.

I’m betting it tastes like slightly chewy ranch dressing.

Your last paragraph: I have less reason to do that than modern Israelis did, which I’ve pointed out was something like negative millions of reasons.

Congratulations on completely missing the point over and over again. Your prize is to keep on wallowing in your own incoherent bullshit.

Never even quoted you nor invoked what you said in that last comment. Meerly addressed your stupid edit and re-hashed the single point you’ve steadfastly refused to acknowlege, even now.

Oh no, Iran’s backing them? Who cares. The entire West is “backing” Israel. Feeding them weapons and egging-on their worst impulses to keep them making themselves targets.

At this point, I’m pretty sure you don’t care one whit more for Israelis and IDF soldiers than I do. Keeping their soldiers and leadership from being held accountable for their actions just solidifies the monolith of evil their entire country represents to their neighbors.

Call me when Iran invades … well, anywhere really. If I invaded a foreign land, killed a bunch of people, burned down their houses, and brought my family along to boast how proud of me they were, I wouldn’t be surprised when me and/or mine ended up raped and murdered, even generations down the line. Pretty much how the story plays out in all the history books.

Many of them, in particular, resulted in this thing called a “diaspora”. Might well have been the smartest thing some people(among ANY people) ever did.

I actually love all of it, minus any need for adding ranch dressing. Just saying that you, me, and OP have no grounds to diss it.

It’s all in my head, yo. Physically, I’m “strong as an ox”. Didn’t help me avoid SA from peers I had considered friends.

Repeating the same tired gibberish with no elabbration, much?

I have a regular job(for the moment; Seem to have hit upon a reasonable medication/therapy/routine regimen that allows for that, if not a sound state of mind). Doesn’t take a disability rating that pays much of anything to get the Healthcare coverage.

That said, there are plenty of countries where I, maybe even my family, could live off what I get from the VA. I’m not looking to retire yet though.

Side-eyes the chunks of Creme-cheese in those Sushi Rolls … yes, the ranch-dipping crosses some sort of line, I guess.

I wanted them to teach others that tenacity, to lead by example when it comes seizing life by the horns in the face of adversity. Yeah, I should’t be too upset that they have been too comfortable until these last 6 weeks.

Maybe I should have raised them to be leaders in adition to being decent people, although the one supervises a bunch of cashiers at 16, so guess they’ll be alright, if not contagiously so. My personal aversion to positions of authority did not rup off on them.

Speak for yourself. As a disabled veteran, my healthcare is covered, just not my wife and kids’, just yet. Socialism has actually been alive and well for certain swaths of the US population for a long time, just like the “socialism” that Hitler wanted for Germany … and now I’m back to thinking I should move my family off of this sinking ship.

You’re funny. I’m at a Hockey game with my kids. By arguing there is no Palestinian genocide, you’re simping for the IDF, who are demonstrably terrorists, for which you are simping.

Stick to what you’re good at, I guess, this holier-than-thou, ad nauseam schtick ain’t it. Just up-chuck the quote from when Conan met Ghengis Kan and run away like a good little simp.

Came here to say this. More of that “gay agenda according to morons”.
