  • I don’t know what history books you’ve read but the United States has a very long and documented history of not winning wars. Especially when their own population are so against it.

    Meanwhile Russia is in no state to threaten anyone. What little they have in terms of military assets are tied up in Ukraine. If they try to attack Europe they’d get flattened in about 2 minutes.

    Anyway it looks like trump’s probably going to get impeached and presumably he doesn’t want that to happen so he’s unlikely to actually start World War III for reasons of self-preservation.


  • Translation for anyone that needs it

    The EU is expected to wait with tougher measures after Donald Trump’s recent tariff threat and wants to negotiate primarily, Politico reports, citing sources.

    This weekend, the EU discussed tariffs on US goods worth nearly SEK 1,000 billion and the possibility of activating the EU’s so-called trade bazooka, Anti-Coercion Instrument (ACI), which could mean that access to the EU’s internal market is closed off.

    But so far there is no majority of member states to activate ACI, despite pressure from France, the sources say.

    Instead, the strategy is to wait and see what Trump actually does. No sharp decisions are expected at this week’s extraordinary EU summit on 22 January. Any major decisions are expected at the earliest in early February, the newspaper said.

    I got a detention for using my backpack full of books as a lethal weapon. I have the English anthology in there and that’s a big book, it does some serious blood force trauma damage. It’s an awful book though.

    Apparently that started a trend so the school introduced a rule that said that all backpacks must be put in lockers at the start of each day. Which was stupid because the lockers weren’t big enough for that. So everyone was forced to carry their books to and from school by hand.

    What?

    Trump has always been an idiot. Is old business teacher one said he was the most useless kid he’d ever had. Think about that, an MBA teacher reckons he’s stupid, that’s a bar that’s so low that it’s subterranean and he failed to even pass that. Been old and demented isn’t an excuse, he’s always been an utter failure of a human.

    I have a very vivid memory of being at a pool with a diving board and having cups of water with this logo on. I don’t remember where it was or anything really about the place but I do remember that the pool water was very very hot, and the water fountain water was very very very cold.

    It was a very 90s place I’m assuming it can’t possibly exist anymore.


  • That would be a bit more of a valid interpretation if it weren’t for the fact that Wolfenstein is set in an alternate universe where the Nazis win the war.

    You can hardly make them the classic ‘inevitably going to fail’ villain when they’ve been in power for the last 60 years.

    Maybe they could add a scene where one of them is stroking a white cat although honestly that’s pretty much the Wolfenstein aesthetic already.

    I’m now older than both my parents were when I was born. The complaining about the lack of grandchildren has already started.

    Is not in is it? Society won’t let me stay up and play Xbox until midnight anymore, I’m expected to go to work in the morning.
