Wed 04:04:41  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ I actually do see why we're kicking Iran in the teeth very hard right now. It's either rip the band-aid off and deal with some short-term disruption, or have them go on being a constant problem. It takes a lot of money to get very little done when you're on the defense. When Iran was firing thousands of cheap drones and rockets at Israel, the US was busy shooting things like Standard Missile 2 and 3 at them for millions of dollars a

Wed 04:04:42  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ 
Wed 04:04:42  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ Even if absolutely nothing came down on Israel, the cost alone to keep doing that is enormous. So the result of hitting the snooze alarm on the Iran Problem was that we could just end up doing that. When you can fire missiles and drones that cost hundreds or thousands of dollars, and it takes interceptors that can cost a million dollars or more per shot to deal with it, you're winning the economic war. Nothing even has to land,
Wed 04:04:46  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ you're wearing the enemy down because of sheer costs.
Wed 04:04:50  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ MinceR, ^
Wed 04:05:39  │ 〖MinceR〗 	│ i thought it was because they needed something to distract attention from the epstein files
Wed 04:06:14  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ Then there's the knock on bonus that if we take care of the source of the problem, they're not going to be an arms supplier of weapons of terror to Russia anymore, which sets Russia back in their war on Ukraine.
Wed 04:06:36  │ 〖MinceR〗 	│ https://imgur.com/gallery/fixed-fn5tsHd
Wed 04:06:43  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ MinceR, This is a major setback to Russia's war effort.
Wed 04:07:29  │ 〖MinceR〗 	│ i guess the nice thing about living in a world of over 8 billion villains is that hardly any blow goes to a wrong place
Wed 04:08:05  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ This is why the Russians are furious.
Wed 04:08:13  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ They need Iran as an arms supplier.
Wed 04:08:28  │ 〖MinceR〗 	│ i thought they were furious because they thought they were losing
Wed 04:08:32  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ Those weapons that they get from Iran are cheap and they're targeted at civilian infrastructure in Ukraine mainly.
Wed 04:09:08  │ 〖MinceR〗 	│ like how fidesz - hungarian pedophile party has spent the last 16 years posing as the underdog, a bunch of rebels, while having near-absolute power over this country

Wed 04:09:40  │ 〖MinceR〗 	│ and whining about how the fact that there are a few websites they couldn't take over yet means there's a "left-liberal media supremacy"
Wed 04:09:48  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ MinceR, THe Russians apparently had 1.2 million casualties so far.
Wed 04:09:53  │ 〖MinceR〗 	│ (they took practically all the radio and tv channels long ago)
Wed 04:10:05  │ 〖MinceR〗 	│ (they also took over origo and index long ago)
Wed 04:10:10  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ A casualty isn't necessarily a death, but most of the injuries cause people to be unable to effectively return to the fight too.
Wed 04:10:20  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ They're still losing soldiers faster than they can replace them.
Wed 04:10:44  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ Putin is pretty much killing, wiping out, an entire generation of Russians.
Wed 04:10:51  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ When the population was in decline anyway.
Wed 04:11:04  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ And even when he unleashes his prisons and mental defectives it's not enough.
Wed 04:11:15  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ If Brandon Lobster was a Russian, they'd have drafted him already too.
Wed 04:11:17  │ 〖MinceR〗 	│ if you can call them soldiers

People would leave with over 200 vacation day days. Now no roll over and as a prior post said IBM is so cheap that say you "get" 15 days, you only accrue that little by littel month by month.

Thu 02:58:41  │ 〖MinceR〗 	│ lol
Thu 02:59:39  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ The bible is a weird thing to read. I mean technically they're words that make sentences. But then the sentences make no sense and some people insist they make perfect sense.
Thu 02:59:57  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ I gave up after the 7 day creation myth.
Thu 03:00:02  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ A page turner it was not.
Thu 03:00:19  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ You know and then you skip some stuff and it's like 8 pages of someone's family tree or something.
Thu 03:00:31  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ And for some reason this all needs to be in a religious text.
Thu 03:00:33  │ 〖MinceR〗 	│ too bad, the first massive contradiction is where they retell the creation myth and it's a different one
Thu 03:00:46  │ 〖MinceR〗 	│ yeah, it's about as exciting as a phone book
Thu 03:01:02  │ 〖MinceR〗 	│ and yet it's bandied around as some sort of massive literary achievement
Thu 03:01:17  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ That part with the family tree was like reading the phone book.
Thu 03:01:43  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ You notice how it's all the sacred word of God and yet no church anywhere turns to those pages and has a sermon about who begat who?
Thu 03:02:37  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ I liked Lewis Black on the Old Testament "You Christians took OUR BOOK! Jews need to be told don't marry a goat. We're Jews! We don't know that!"
Thu 03:02:45  │ 〖MinceR〗 	│ lol
Thu 03:03:15  │ 〖MinceR〗 	│ i haven't noticed that, i avoid sermons
Thu 03:03:59  │ 〖MinceR〗 	│ i've been to a mass or something once, and what i learned was that while the pedonazi party may be extremely arrogant, they still have much to learn from the catholics
Thu 03:15:30  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ They're both pedophiles but they're in different cults.
Thu 03:15:44  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ I guarantee you nobody on the Epstein list believes in God.
Thu 03:15:54  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ That doesn't inherently make someone a good or bad person.
Thu 03:16:09  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ But if they figured they'd be punished forever they probably wouldn't have done that.
Thu 03:16:11  │ 〖MinceR〗 	│ i can't tell who believes in YHWH, i'm not a psychic
Thu 03:16:47  │ 〖MinceR〗 	│ and it's clear that the bronze age savages had no clue about ethics or morality so i can't determine their religiosity based on their actions either
Thu 03:17:20  │ 〖MinceR〗 	│ though i suspect that some of the pedonazis believe themselves or one of their bosses to be YHWH
Thu 03:17:52  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ MinceR, These hotels use good body wash and shampoo. I put a bunch in an empty water bottle when I'm around.

Thu 03:18:22  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ Was less than $5 in 2020.
Thu 03:20:11  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ MinceR, Capital One Shopping offers huge rebates on hotels.
Thu 03:20:36  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ It's because post-rebate it's still more than booking on Priceline, assuming Capital One Shopping doesn't just glitch entirely and screw you and doesn't pay.
Thu 03:21:00  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ I only took the chance a few times when the rebate was for Priceline anyway.
Thu 03:21:49  │ 〖IsambardPrince〗 	│ MinceR, The person I am dating has never seen Alien or Aliens.
