Israel kills at least 274 in Lebanon and orders thousands to flee their homes
  • The zionazis and their tinpot shit stain dictator netanyahoo want a regional war. Netanyahoo wants war because it helps him escape his legal issues at home, and his ape shit terrorist settlers want war because they can steal more land.

    Middle eastern countries should band together and blunt this insanity, but won't because most of them are backwater dictatorships or oil companies disguised as governments. The rest care a lot about how you worship muhammad and won't work with their neighbors because they don't love muhhammad the right way. Fucking nightmare.

    Also time for US/partners to stop funding genocide. Funny how israel "defense" ministers are making a bunch of comments on israels actions while their fighting looks a lot like offensive / genocide operations.

  • TIL the US Government once released its own video game to inform, educate, and recruit prospective soldiers.
  • The special forces test was nuts, was playing on a friend's account at the time but it boiled down to just crawling through the lowest point along the entire path. Literally the entire mission you're in a drainage or small creek just crawling and going stealth. I can't remember if you eventually fight or do anything, I just remember the two hours of crawling on the ground to go undetected.

    After I got the SF certification you could play this map called Hospital where you're extracting a VIP while an insurgent team is trying to kill him. So much fucking fun. I loved this game. Yvan eht nioj

  • Why Americans aren’t buying more EVs
  • Not to mention, 5 years in after you've invested in the power improvements to your house to allow charging, if your battery fails I guess fuck you? $20k to keep rolling lol. Think that's part of why the used market is showing huge depreciation for EVs. No one wants to spend 20k for a used vehicle with a ticking time bomb 20k repair guaranteed some time in the future.

  • Blinken hints at US sanctions against ICC over arrest warrants for Israeli leaders
  • Misunderstood, when you said "you" I thought you meant me individually not in the macro sense "you'z guys" or the Biden camp. Apologize I went straight to 100 on that because I thought for a moment I was getting turffed by a Zionist sympathizer and I have little patience for that shit recently.

  • Blinken hints at US sanctions against ICC over arrest warrants for Israeli leaders
  • You sound confused. Nowhere in the article, the link summary, or my comment does anyone mention the US election. You're assuming this jeopardizes the election which I have no basis to comment on. Maybe take a break from news for a while.

    Further, if the US administration thought this announcement could jeopardize the election that's really on them to think through. As a regular schmuck I don't really know what the impact of this announcement could be - but I applaud the ICC for not taking sides and calling war crimes what they are. Starving children to steal their land shouldn't be acceptable no matter how much money you donate to politicians.

  • Ben Carson calls for making divorce harder
  • Might be an unpopular opinion, but divorce law needs some big changes. I spent over 50k fighting an ex in court as she tried to take my house and savings that predated our marriage. I don't have a problem with the no-fault part, that's fine you want out you should be able to leave, but property rights stuff and the cost of a divorce both need big changes.

    This is a tough one because every divorce is different, and I don't want to turn this into a huge rant, but I'm still in this process and a woman I married only 4 years ago may take my house leaving my daughter and I without a home. She's also coming after my retirement accounts, some of which predated the marriage, and she's refusing to negotiate which has already forced me to take this to a judge for a decision. Financially, this has ruined my savings. I've maxed out credit cards fighting for my rights as a parent. Basic stuff here, I'm just talking about my right to have the kiddo 50% of the time shit like that.

    I didn't do anything torid in this case she just wanted to leave, which again is fine, but she's essentially bankrupting me on the way out in a ploy to take my life savings and home. There is nothing I can do about this, it is how the process works in Colorado. Be careful before saying "I do", you're signing away a lot of your rights and property when you do that. Especially if there is a big difference in networth / socioeconomic status, consider a prenup. If he/she says no to the prenup, bail.

  • Elon Musk reveals Tesla software-locked cheapest Model Y, offers 40-60 more miles of range
  • During COVID and in the immediate years after their production started used Tesla held value well. Now, their values are dropping off a cliff. They're depreciating on par with used luxury vehicles. I suspect that as people continue to have battery failures as the fleet ages, their prices will drop even more sharply. Be careful buying a used EV.
