All versions of skyblock I’ve played have had a way to get lava from nothing but the starting tree, so it’s not a softlock just potentially tedious to get back to that point.

Reminds me of when EA decided to go player first

Fun fact: that has a name! It’s called Litotes

Anyone being let loose with a smartphone should really be able to tell fiction from reality…

I don’t think they were being literal: https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/i-d-like-to-see

No, this is Patrick

He literally just kidnapped the head of state of another country using military force.

Well yes (although I’d argue how much of that was him vs Rubio), but doing so was preceded by a large naval buildup that we don’t see with Greenland. Not to mention that those naval assets are still there extorting Venezuela and another naval deployment of that size would leave INDOPACOM under resourced for maintaining the Island Chain containment on China.

Basically, it’s not actually a serious threat at this point.

Twitter and Facebook would later show that anonymity is not required…

Iran is like 7000 miles from the US, there aren’t many places in the northern hemisphere further away…

Well no, as the article says he’s already been admonished by two popes but if he’s going to keep doing heinous stuff while claiming to be catholic they’ve sort of got to keep calling him out.

It is about a corrupt president who wants the Epstein files to be forgotten and maybe about resources

Personally I suspect it’s actually about Vance and Miller needing a way to get Trump’s attention back from Rubio after Venezuela. Trump is currently fixated on military intervention after he got a “win” so they need a target they know Rubio won’t follow them on, hence Greenland.

The nonce formally known as prince

No but if you’re good you can troll the food.

Nothing has been “banned” they just issued editorial guidelines on what term to use. As they (and all other media organizations) do with everything, it’s just how journalism works.

I’m not sure it’s really either yet. Nothing much seems to have changed in terms of how Venezuela is governed on a day to day basis and Maduro is still alive and the main plan to stop him returning seems to be for this DoJ, on the back of a series of failures to convict Trump’s political enemies, to secure a conviction of a guy who, however much of a dick he’s been in Venezuela, hasn’t comitted any crimes in America or against any Americans as far as I can see.

So, I dont know what to call it right now but I have a sneaking suspicion the term “cluster fuck” will apply before it’s done…

and I don’t even want to think about who’s going to feel emboldened by trump.

Xi Jinping. Taiwan is next, especially if this goes south and fixes the US naval assets in place for a prolonged period.

Im actually not sure a woman would do better.

They could hardly do much worse. Sure it may not usher in a utopia but the bar is currently several feet below floor level and still dropping.

Never mind Zelensky, if I were Taiwan’s president I’d be looking at the US creating a big naval distraction for itself at the same time as affirming that heads of state are fair game with more than a little trepidation…

Sure, they should but I can’t see any US president giving up their war crimes pass.
