God this sucks for Ukraine. I’ve had this thought for a while but the absolute best case scenario at this point is that as much as possible gets annexed and Russia just straight up refuses to acknowledge the debts the old government racked up right?

American corporations just fully own them at this point it seems like.

In the US and I get this if I’m zoomed out a bit (and it looks like this is how disputed islands are labeled also, if you check Malvinas/Falklands for example) but if I zoom in a bit it’s just “Gulf of America”

Oh man that was a good list.

I’m out of the loop, what did President Sheinbaum nationalize?

CW, extreme age gap (possibly worse than that), DV

What a rollercoaster

Okay thank God because I JUST downloaded Taobao and I need these D&D party made of food miniatures I found there. Well really I found them on Xiaohongshu and I downloaded Taobao when I realized that was the only place you could buy them. But once I figure out how shipping works I’m getting them. Look at the donut wizard!

I have not played monster sanctuary but I did love cassette beasts. I actually like the combat a lot. The shifting types and status effects made combat very puzzley sometimes, I just think going down to one monster negated that a bit.

Also I think their monster design ruled.

Look at Traffikrab

Look at Candevil

This is Tokusect, it is both a moth and a power ranger

Idk if it’s my favorite but it’s one that I’ve played a lot recently:

Cassette Beasts would be better without fusion. It’s so strong that it is necessary (sans grinding) for a lot of boss fights, and it’s very cool and dramatic when the combat music’s lyrics start, but going from two to one party member reduces the complexity of fights so much that they become less enjoyable.

Was it factual reporting when CNN, by all accounts a reputable American media outlet, lied to the entire world and claimed that their own employees had personally seen Venezuelan security forces burn an aid truck? An aid truck that was later proven to have been burned by an anti-government protester when cell phone video footage of the event was released to the public?

You respect media outlets that the people who run our society want you to respect and you disregard the ones they don’t want you to trust. Your feelings about which ones are reliable have absolutely nothing to do with which ones tell the truth.

I saw this on XHS earlier today

Yeah, I think it can be useful to understand that the cultural milieu that Westerners exist in is based on Christianity even when those Westerners aren’t Christians- and that their worldviews reflect that. I thought that the word for that was cultural Christianity and that the nu-atheist use of it to signify alignment with reactionary Christians was new?

In 2028 the Dems will win on the power of “wouldn’t you like the chaos to stop, at least domestically?” 2032 is going to be the year of “the tankies are really showing their privilege when they demand that the death camps be closed.”

I’m one of the liberals on this site (jk, I’m the only leftist here but I’ll still answer your question) and it’s because the Democrats are also incredibly evil.

Can’t believe I’m arguing against the privacy of a teenager, but if this kid is old enough to commit social murder by ending medical and food aid to millions, he’s old enough to be a hated public figure.

Close but a lot of Europe and then also Australia and South Korea abstained
