A shitty post? This calls for a dance of deduction.

To be fair you can say that about almost every system and their error. At the end of the day it's a minority of users. Even for things like the PS2 and the DRE issue.

Having worked in video store in the PSX era I can assure you that the rate of this being required was astronomical. The first units where they removed the RCA outputs for the proprietary AV connector had to approach nearly all units after enough time and use. I imagine the problem was exacerbated by our rental discs being beat to hell but the drive rails definitely failed consistently enough that we had to tell people every day how to fix it.

Anecdotally among my friend circle I was the only one with a right side up functioning unit for the dozen or so of us and I was the only one with a launch day unit.

Sean Spicer once said at a press briefing "We didn’t use chemical weapons in world war two. You had someone as despicable as Hitler who didn’t even sink to using chemical weapons." and said that hitler didnt use chemical weapons against his own people lmao

is it a weapon if the victims don't or can't fight back or is it more of a tool? :thunk:

the main difference was whether the victims were gassed at home or in camps, and also whether they were jews or not

Early-ish on in the Iraq War when invasion-defenders were eager to I BELIEVE about WMD there were a number of stories about how Iraqi's were great at hiding things and it was practically their national passtime (might have been about Mheibes, I don't remember). I assume it was pushed by the Office of Strategic Influence or somewhere similar.

then a decade later they found a small stockpile of rusted out worthless chemical weapons (that we had given them) and the usual suspects did victory laps

lol good job america

quote:

According to the investigative report, "many chemical weapons incidents clustered around the ruins of the Muthanna State Establishment, the center of Iraqi chemical agent production in the 1980s." The facility had fallen under the supervision of United Nations weapons inspectors after the first Gulf War and was known to house approximately 2,500 corroded chemical munitions, but the vast building complex was left unmanned once hostilities commenced in 2003 and was subject to looting.[127] Participants in the discoveries postulated another reason to conceal their exposure, as some of the chemical shells "appeared to have been designed in the United States, manufactured in Europe and filled in chemical agent production lines built in Iraq by Western companies."[127]

Even if you don't count poisoning civilians in gas chambers, the Germans used chemical weapons on the Eastern Front against Soviet troops so he's still a dumbass no matter how you slice it.

I thought this was originally Colin Powell's reasoning for not going in- if Iraq could not function after the invasion, it would be the US's responsibility into eternity.
