wtf are even 20 armed civilians supposed to do against trained military combat units?

Ask Vietnam.

Yeah I love how other countries like to mock the US for Vietnam, yet for some reason seem to forget about it when it comes to "us military would dominate their population"

I'm sorry but some random Douchebag from Omaha or some small town in Texas doesn't know jack OR shit about the countryside around the Sierra or Appalachian mountains, and all the fancy tools at their disposal didn't help them much when they had to search through desert for 20 years chasing down "terrorists"

Sure, the US couldn't beat vietman because they didn't know the terrain and would never be able to convince the people they're shooting at its for their own good.

But that totally doesn't apply when it's the US fighting against itself, somehow.

The enemy is both weak and strong, I guess.

But is it interactive?

Also I'm sure part of it for some people is the corruption of something that wasn't originally smut.

Wow, that's terrible! What mod is this? So I can avoid it? What a weird thing! That I'm definitely going to avoid and not go check out.

But I am a tad mystified. I do wonder what kind of lifestyle it is that leads a person to turn a videogame main menu into hardcore pornography.

It must be the author's first day on the internet.

If the internet were banned globally, porn mags would immediately disappear from shelves, and anything up to and including national geographic where they show cultures where clothing is sparse would all be hard to find, as the porn starved masses come out of their jizz encrusted caves to find something to give them that little hit of dopamine and oxytocin.

"hits harder than trumps tariffs" is a phrase I'm really getting sick of.

My wife watches shorts all the time and I keep hearing people saying that in them.

It's weird that a guntuber is where I saw this posted first... Granted he's very clearly left if you watch some of his videos.

And he just posted a data security video the other day about how DOGE and Palantir are working together.

then why is it so popular there

Because like many countries whose inhabitants come from a variety of places, you've got lots of people interested in their "heritage"

Since most people in the US can't say their family has been here longer than a couple hundred years, and depending on the area no more than 100 or so, a lot of people wish to know "where they came from" so to speak. DNA testing is just easier than tracing a family tree.

I happen to be lucky enough to have a family member obsessed with genealogy, who traced down the last 1,000 or so years depending on which parts of the family and what areas they're from, so I don't need genetic testing to know 99% of my family is white as fuck with a couple POC from different continents and a native back in the 1700s. I don't feel any particular draw to any culture, nor do I feel like donning traditional garb or participating in holidays, ceremonies, rituals, or customs. Some people do.

I totally get it if it's not your thing, especially since that kind of mentality of "ooh let's find out where our families came from" isn't present in most other places in the world, and definitely not to the same degree even in other colonial areas. Personally I think it's part of that whole "melting pot" ideology, but I'm just some rando on the internet.

Honestly even without my relative tracing the family tree, I would never have paid to give my DNA to a company for results with questionable accuracy. Shits weird, yo.

She hasn’t committed any crimes in France (she technically hasn’t committed any crimes in Israel either

She hasn't committed any crimes that I am aware of since the aid voyage began. Not even the bullshit ones that fascist regimes like to throw out when they want to target specific groups.

I know you aren't trying to suggest that she has, but I believe its important that there isn't any ambiguity in whether she did a crime or not. She was kidnapped by Privateers (state-sanctioned pirates), the goods she was traveling with as well as personal effects were stolen, and she was taken against her will into places and forced to watch people die on video by her kidnappers. At no point in this has a crime been committed in any way that I am aware of. And it especially hasn't been made known by any credible source.

Yes, I do, as I am not German, nor European and do not have "common knowledge" of the goings-on in the EU, vis-a-vis politicians and their rhetoric.
