You're correct in that it's not as sharp, but it still poses problems with getting into seals and lungs and sticking to everything. Plus it's very toxic, probably the bigger concern for living there.
Obama was able to talk them out of all of the second thing, and they agreed.
Like so many other things, this could be a motivation for Trump to undo things, regardless of understanding any of it. It's why he ran for President the first time, out of spite.
Gandalf's line is probably my favorite from the book. You can only control what you can control. Do what you can, and know at the end of the day that you did your best, regardless of the outcome.
for what it's worth, Mbin can see and interact with both Lemmy type communities as well as the Mastodon type of broadcasts. They are still two different parts, but within a single interface. Often I see things on the sidebar from them, usually dropped into "Random" as the algorithm doesn't know what to put it in, and have the same thoughts as you. That it seems like it's shouting out into nothingness. But...I could respond to the commentary, and it would bounce back to them. It's just a different way to communicate, not as "permanent" as a discussion board format.
The ONLY good point to this would be that it would draw the US public into action. A base in the Middle East got hit? People shrug it off, it's nothing new and doesn't affect them. A naval or army base on the East Coast gets a missile hit? At least if there was disagreement on what to do, we'd be arguing about it. Assuming that Iran can even get that far...
And to be clear, it's only a good point in that it would wake people up that shit isn't right, and maybe they'd feel threatened enough for their own welfare to do something.
From the novel, Sulu had the most appropriate reaction in his test, follow the rules. Scotty had the best though, new physics was discovered thanks to his actions.
"As I've long maintained, this was the correct move by (Trump)," the Pennsylvania centrist posted on X. "Iran is the world's leading sponsor of terrorism and cannot have nuclear capabilities."
Seems intelligence is saying that after strikes on three places where such things would be, nothing has changed. So basically they didn't have any. Good job, you needlessly attacked someone. Very brave. Are we trying to make 2020 feel like not as bad of a year as 2025?
Doing anything more would likely get more strikes from a war-hungry US administration looking for any reason to flex. At least a passive response might get some sympathy from the rest of the world...not that they'll jump up to do much even if the US does something else.
One difference - there was some Japanese resistance or concerns internally to the long term effect of giving the US a reason to come into the war. I don't get the sense that anyone who has any pull right now is questioning ANYTHING Trump says. And that's a big part of the problem. A narcissistic commander with a fragile ego who thinks anything he does is gold, surrounded by yes-men for their own purposes.
Beans were a good nonsensical way to show people how this whole federation thing works, and to start something rolling. Other memes haven't quite hit the same mark, as they're trying to redo something already done. The moth thing though, I've seen some pretty good ones among the expected. One doesn't create a great meme, it comes to life on its own, often after a lot of misses.

It's the only way to authenticate that it truly is him.
