Because Iran came up with the idea of having ships pay a toll to cross. Trump said “Hey…I want some of that” and Iran told him to pound sand. So now Iran is blockading anyone who doesn’t pay their toll and is civil to them, and Trump is (threatening to) blockade anyone who does, purely out of spite.
Yes…our reality really is that stupid.
This photo brings up a question I have.
I don’t know if there are any active service members here on Lemmy. And if there are, if they’re even free to express an answer to this question.
But I was wondering what it must feel like for a serving soldier to be compelled to stand at attention and salute this man; this National Guard wash-out that has never actually served any day in his life but suddenly found himself in a position where men and women FAR better than him, have to salute him.
8 has always been my favourite. As long as I resist the urge to draw spam. It can get repetively easy if you just draw and cast magic from your enemy, never having to use your own resources.
For most games, it depends on who you’re asking. I, for example, hate multiplayer looter-shooters, so the most overrated game to ME would be Fortnite. It literally hold no attraction for me and the thought of even playing it makes me shudder.
However, the universal answer is really any EA sports title.
It’s literally the same game every…damn…year…
Nobody seduced these chucklefucks into anything.
On behalf of Israel, Epstein and Maxwell honey-potted Trump and a bunch of other republicans, filmed them all kiddie-fucking so that Israel could say “Hey…you do what we say now, or else”.
It wasn’t a seduction. It was an order.
April 1, 1946. Push a very pregnant Mary Anne Trump down a very steep set of stairs.
In any other country on earth, Trump would have been dragged into the street a lynched by now.
I think the best American’s can hope for is that his own security detail order 66’s him.
If by movement you mean bullets…you’re almost there.
Is it a base within reach of Iranian drones? Pretty please…
They…will…do…it…anyway…
Fuck it’s so frustrating watching one side pretend the rule of law still means anything.
It already is a civil war. Only one side is fighting it though, while the other keeps saying “wait until the mid-terms”
Every single member of this administration needs to be put in front of a firing squad.
I no longer care if it’s through the proper channels of justice or the people rightfully rising up.
Wake the fuck up, America.
Yeah. I guess I’m too old to understand the drive for better and better graphics.
To me, you don’t repaint a new version of the Mona Lisa just because we have better paints available today.
Graphics (for me) peaked in the 360/PS3 era when games started to nail smooth “movement”. After that it was just about making things more and more photorealistic, which is so completely uninteresting to me because I’m playing a game.
For the last little while now, I’ve been finding that my most played games have been on my old 360 that I decided to plug in again, and my old old PS2 collection that I ripped and loaded to an emulator because the old hardware broke a long time ago.
Third place is “new to me” games that I finally buy when they go on a good sale years after they were “new” (is. RDR2 and Cyberpunk)
I haven’t bought a new AAA title in years on console because I can’t justify the cost.
I’ll be honest, I doubt any real money is being dumped into this.
More and more, things like this come across as people giving Trump nonsense toys to play with to feel bigly important and distract him as he gets more and more infirm. If any money actually moves towards this, it’ll be actually diverting into someone’s pocket along the way.
It struck me the most when he made the announcement of a new class of Jumbo Jet and he was literally sitting there at his desk like a kid playing with a lego airplane model.
He is increasingly a addled child that they keep distracted with stupid shit like this so that they can get work done without him fucking it up for them by opening his idiot mouth. (like admitting that Venuzuela was about oil…for example)
But not the kiddie fucking…
Jesus fucking christ, America.

I’d bet real money that most of the “people” threatening to boycott don’t live on the same continent as a Costco store anyway.
I’m not entirely convinced that this dude didn’t open up the joint as purposeful satire to make money off stupid MAGA cultists.
I would. You know how tempting it is to make some idiot trump branded piece of shit product and get MAGA to eat it up? These people are literally cultists just waiting to give you their money; and if pretending to be one of them on the surface makes me rich off their stupidity…hey…it’s tempting.
I’m almost sure that’s what happened here.
Totally not the point of the article, but “Analilia” is a beautiful name. I hadn’t heard it before and it immediately went into my “if I ever accidentally have kids” name list.
