When was the last time democrats delivered on what they proposed? Jumping in to say the Biden Administration promised to cancel student loans and one of my loans got cancelled. That's a good thing because the school I went to was later determined to be a scam. I dropped out halfway through and most ...

The creator of this project posted on reddit so I'm cross-posting here because it looks really cool. They are reworked, hi-res textures specifically for the ray-traced version of Descent. Looks great.

I think what everybody is missing is that both parties have been pulling further and further to their extremes. What in the holy hell are you talking about? Sanders and Warren barely qualify as Left and we didn't hear anything from them this election. There isn't even a real left-wing branch of the ...

Nice, but I don't know the point of a one month ban, it's not like we can expect a behavior correction. Just make it permananet.

You do know Arabs are living Israel? You know Jews live in every Muslim country? I don't see your point. Israel's goal is to take over whatever they deem historic land and set up a religious state. It's no different than ISIS establishing a caliphate in the Levant. I personally think Israel is ...

Great job. It really hurts to see those couple spots where things didn't go right, especially by the yellow key.

... its insane!

And your reasoning gives me the impression that you believe "official political party" and terrorist group are mutually exclusive. Clearly not, but if we're talking semantics the US Military are also terrorists and by extension our government. Just because you label something "war" or "terrorism ...

At least the "terrorist" attacks by Israel were more targeted towards enemy combatants then when Hezbollah fires rockets, missiles, artillery and drones into Israel. It also seems to me that terrorizing and disorienting the enemy is a valid tactic during a war...and yes, it is a war. I get the ...

Nothing more satisfying than a terrorized terrorist. I'm sure families and friends of the kids that died will agree. How is the air up there on Phony Mc Moral Highground?

It won't be a few hundred years, but it's going to be at least a few decades. Maybe. I doubt it will happen in the 21st century. First, there is no financial incentive to go.

I'm really curious to know why woodchip is being treated with kid gloves here.

Ok woodchip is now literally reposting huge swaths of text from right-wing propaganda sites. He can't even use his own words anymore. Why it this spamming allowed? We wouldn't tolerate it from a bot, why tolerate it from someone no different from a bot?

Anybody that thinks getting rid of rich people will get rid of the poor as well is a fool. I don't know a single person who thinks that. Where did you come up with that idea? Reducing wealth inequality serves as a way to balance power dynamics so people aren't exploited. Rich and poor are relative ...

Except for the rich? Saying rich people shouldn't exist is simply pointing out that a system which allows for such gross inequality does not make for a healthy society, especially since the rich exploit the poor. They always have, but that doesn't mean we should just accept it because we can change ...

The primary reason for taking prisoners during a war is to remove combatants from the battlefield and provide information. Except when it's not.
