Good for Egypt!

Thank fucking christ. I’m so tired of that authoritarian asshole getting news.

It’s not just that. It’s about oil & gas too. Ukraine is gar friendlier to the US and the EU. They also has the ability to sever Europe’s need for Russian energy.

Every dollar is worth it.

Very supportive.

The mother helped to induce an abortion past 20 weeks and then they worked together to conceal the remains. Pre-Dobbs, this still would have been illegal. This would have been illegal across most of Europe. Nebraska law at the time put the limit at 20 weeks for an abortion.

She had plenty of time. When we’re going into the 5 month territory, you know you’re pregnant. They had the opportunity to do this the right way.

It’s right wing populism. It’s the second Lavender Scare. Populism has never worked, it’s too chaotic. But that’s what regular folks are goaded into by people like Tucker Carlson. He’s a multimillionaire being paid to defend billionaires. He is the wealthy owner class he screams about on TV.

The only downside I can see to this is that now everyone is going to be wearing orange shirts, for an orange man, depicting his pale fucking face, and it will be awful.

Am I too old to be a pornstar when people my age are popular pornstars?

The world after gov regulations that have been systematically dismantled for robber baron profits.

I might be pulling this out of my ass, but I somehow recall that some of the wizard abilities in D3 implied telekinesis. Which then implies that psychics could be real. I think you could combine it with some aspects of like 1800s spiritualism or aesthetic mysticism to nail down the theme.

I think it would fit right in to the gritty world D4 has made. Maybe be a sect of Ivgorod, which gives us a reason to go there for the first time and maybe back to Arreat to re-settle the clans.

Edit: Oh! I also forgot to mention how it could be so environmentally interactive. Like telekinetically throwing random environmental objects at enemies or slamming enemies against walls in tight spaces.

For some reason this also made me think that whips should be a weapon class. Rogues, the psychic, & sorc could use them.

I mean they invented time travel for the shop. Why can’t they make psychics?

I think a psychic class would be cool.

Specifically, the GOP fearmongers most. The Dems are much more internationally & diplomatically inclined when compared to their political opponents.

Tinfoil Hat Time: I think the separatism in the US is being stoked by outside forces. If you read a summary of The Foundations of Geopolitics it sounds very familiar to what’s happening. I also think Social Media needs to go, or rather engagement driven algorithms, because they create informational bubbles that polarize society.

Accoording to Wikipedia it’s because of water ice and craters that aren’t in constant sunlight.

Also, don’t forget that Ukraine has sihnificant oil & gas reserves in the East as well as contributing an enormous amount to the world’s food supply. Having the chance to get those things in the hands of a far friendlier country, I think NATO will put a lot of effort into getting Ukraine solidly on our side.

Dunno why not.

It turns out that extremism isn’t very popular. So fear is their only method.

Distracted? I dunno. Russian propagandists/bots seems more likely.

Even at the bar I tend, filled with “conservatives” that think Donald was cheated out of the election, there isn’t anyone who believes Russia is in the right.

I was gonna say. I distinctly remember that the only reason cluster munitions were sent was in response to Russian ones targeting civilians.

This one I’m not sure, but the NC one was done by a far-right conspiracy believer. It’s also been done by some of the far-right militias that have popped up in the last decade.

They do it because they think it’ll destabilize the country and start a civil war. One they want to win so they can inflict their ideology on everyone nationwide, whether it’s wanted or not.
