Obama is just giving putler a le epic staredown to show him who’s boss (CW: pure, distilled reddit liberalism)

(Googling obama putin site:reddit.com brings up several pages of minor variations of photos of Obama and Putin w/ redditors role-playing how Obama epically pwned Putin with a staredown )

Lmao the r/news thread got locked by mods because users kept making and upvoting comments mocking the death by using the same language media uses to describe cops murdering civilians. Honestly surprised to see it, maybe the bootlickers and their bots are away for the holiday weekend.

Straight to for this “person.”

As if those gulag scenes weren’t bad enough, they used a former nazi prison as the set. And then tried to sell Airbnb trips to the nazi prison. Like, goddamn.

When Israel does it, it’s “pre-emptive”, but when anyone else does something to them, it’s “unprovoked”

Actually I assume the second Chinese CPUs and GPUs become a competitive threat to Intel and AMD, they will be tariffed to hell. But unlike Chinese EVs, gamers would largely know what they’re missing out on, as benchmarks are easy to share. I wonder how they’ll handle knowing they can’t max their framerates due to huge tariffs or maybe even complete bans 🤔

Gamer discourse will only get more confused and contradictory as China inevitably begins dominating the video games industry. Even if, hypothetically, none of their games ever reach mass appeal in the west, it’s only a matter of time before the best available hardware is Chinese.

I’d like to say it will be fun to watch the chuds grapple with their sinophobia and anti-communism getting in the way of their rabid consumerism, but tbh I think most chuds will just quietly rationalize it and, at best, rant less about China. Maybe we’ll even get some cursed synthesis like “China is only good because they’re anti-woke!”

Yes,

Every day I think “I can’t possibly hate the zionist entity more” and every day I’m proven wrong

I’d be tossing fists full of ninja rocks off my balcony every night

Trying to transition to mid-game in the new Oxygen Not Included DLC. Accidentally released a pocket of several hundreds of kilograms of oxygen into my base. At least I don’t need to worry about breathability for many, many cycles

Live reaction of my duplicants (the little dudes that run my colony) looking at all the decor items I built to counteract their long-term perma-“popped eardrums” stress debuff:

I was following along until I got to this paragraph:

It is no secret that a number of pro-Palestine members of the US government had common cause with the Jamaat, and certainly benefited from funding and lobbying support among the small but influential Bangladeshi-American community, particularly on the East and West coasts of America.

They must have meant “pro-Pakistani”, which would make way more sense given the surrounding context of the article discussing relations with Pakistan and India. The alternative suggestion of even a single individual, much less some significant faction, being pro-Palestine within the CIA etc is obviously ridiculous

I still want the American left to be able to organize than to suffer from Trumpian fascist violenc

Don’t fall for the liberal myth that organizing under a Democrat is any better than Trump. Democrat controlled states and cities are more than happy to enact violence against their political enemies, which includes anyone against genocide. The Democrats just make it easier for the average American to ignore, because they hide their fascist violence behind masks of civility and playing up the optics of relatively minuscule crumbs of concessions.

New York fash weaponizing hate crime laws to arrest checks notes a journalist covering protests against genocide, who himself is Jewish

In burgerland tech news, the CEO of Bungie invited an employee to see his new cars and then laid her off 2 days later

Israel just bombed Beirut.

Battlefield 1942 was the first FPS I got really into. Its first expansion, Road to Rome, was meh, but the second expansion, Secret Weapons of WWII, added some really unique and exciting weapons and vehicles. I especially loved flying the Goblin and the HO-229 around harassing infantry and light armor.

Looking back on it, it’s pretty and that they made an expansion focused around wunderwaffen weapons and a stand-in for the fucking SS. But damn if adolescent me didn’t have hours of fun pew pew’ing around with a jetpack Don’t worry I play less-overtly-fascist games now, like Helldivers II.
