  • The article says that “the carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt will head to the Middle East to maintain a presence in the region”.

    So it looks like it could be a routine ship swap. But if that were the case, I’d expect NPR to emphasize that in the article, and they don’t. They mention the other ship one time and then the rest of the article is talking about how the Houthis are doing lots of attacks.

    I’m just confused about this article from a propaganda perspective, I guess. Is it trying to say “the Ike has done good work, it’s time for it to come home and be replaced by another ship, no worries, the US rocks, we have this under control” or is it trying to say “the Houthis are terrifying, they’re an absolute menace and our smol bean navy is trying valiantly to keep the strait safe, but we have to bring home our carrier because the Houthis are just too scary”?

    Because this article seems to gesture in both of those directions, and they’re pretty contradictory.
















  • I gotta ask, are you incapable of reading or are you unwilling to read? Because DivineChaos100 responded to you with two links to NYT articles about this issue, in this comment, which was posted before CarmineCatboy2 asked you to comment on those NYT articles. And yet, you’re here acting as though this didn’t happen. But I can read and I understand what time stamps are, so I know that you have been shown evidence that the NYT believes similar things to the r/Collapse subreddit before this comment where you pretend such a thing never happened.

    So I’ll repeat CarmineCatboy2’s question to you, and maybe you’ll answer it this time: Were you surprised to discover that the new york crimes echoes the same ecofascist genocidal sentiments that we see on reddit?


  • So the weirdo you’re quoting is angry that parents can’t pay for private after school tutors for their kids and also their kids can’t play videogames all day every day. But then the weirdo you’re quoting says: “No fun allowed. No studying allowed. Only CCP school teachings. Afterschool is for CCP homework and restudying Xi JinPing thought”. And I think that’s a weird jump in logic, isn’t it? “No fun allowed”, “Afterschool is for CCP homework”, but China is surely not banning hanging out with friends, which is one of the main sources of fun I enjoyed when I was a kid. It looks to me like Xi is mandating that kids touch some grass, not that they become little communist robots.

    Videogames aren’t the only source of fun I guess is what I’m saying.


  • I’m one of the few weirdos who actually loves Demon of Hatred. For whatever reason his tells are just so much more legible to me than just about any other Sekiro boss and I like the rhythm of the fight. Also, you can parry him a surprising amount! Parrying his stomps feels awesome once you figure out the timing. He definitely has some really, really bullshit moves, but I’ve found that if you’re right up in his crotch he almost never uses the extreme bullshit moves. It’s still a very long fight and when you die halfway through his third health bar it fucking suuuuucks, but I dunno, overall I really like the fight!
