The Moon colonies don't have anything resembling a functional military yet, so this threat shouldn't be of any concern.

You can almost hear the exact moment he regrets his part in all this, and then Trump decides he needs to go. This was a great speech, but part of me thinks I was only moved because we've dealt with Trump for so long that speaking basic English would come across as a beautiful sonata at this point. There is one blessing to Trump though: what we are seeing is conservatism taken to its full, logical end. This isn't 'a few bad apples' creating this divisiveness. This is that 'compassionate conservatism'. The GOP has always been about otherism and now its happening.

Bush expanded Medicare under that rubric, hard to say that the current republican party as personified by slash the government to the bone types like Ryan and the Tea Party are the logical extension of that. More like compassionate conservatism was an aberration.

Yeah. This sucks because it means we're back into the pattern of escalation we were in a few weeks ago, with the added fact that NK may be planning another nuclear test in the near future.

Even for you that's a stupid thing to say, nobody gives a gently caress about North Korea. Worst case is they obliterate a large number of South Koreas and cease to exist, and then the world moves on with their lives. It's not like China or Russia would declare war on the US for wiping them out or something.

Last time, South Korea really really didn't like what America was doing and was trying to keep peace. This time South Korea is willing to react aggressively. That changes the narrative.

Because this guy is a tracing hack; he chops up images of figures in various poses and then superimposes a photo of a face over it and then copies both things. The effect is unmistakable, like a black and white pencil portrait from a photograph.

I'm not gonna defend that artist because lol but most artists, including the masters, trace and use all kinds of projection or collage tricks to make masterpieces. See the docu Tim's Vermeer, for example! :)

People making >7500 a month

White people

Hispanics

Females

Males

18-29 year olds

Married people

Non-churchgoers

Weekly Church goers

People that sometimes go to church


(but you can guess some of those aren't all time low just because they have stayed at some very low single digit and moved up and down repeatedly from like 7-8% within the margin of error week to week)

So you would've been OK with Trump's increasing rhetorical threats towards NK to the point where the launch a missile near Guam, but SK doing a show of force means the end times are here?

I'm not saying I haven't freaked out about this, as anyone who follows this thread may know. But we can't do anything about it, and freaking out won't solve anything

Again, the Inverness Levee is not what everyone is freaking out about. Evacuations were already issued for the area this is likely to flood. It's a much smaller problem and it was well known that the water would eventually overtop it.
