I mean, they didn’t even tell their European allies. This was clearly something they were able to to alone, and for strategic and political reasons, needed to do fully on their own. Kudos to them! 👍

I spent many hours as a kid playing X-Wing.

And it was many hours before I somehow learned that you can actually configure your ship to regenerate both lasers and shields (at the expense of max speed) - until then, I thought I simply have limited ammo, and was frustrated as I was unable to finish a single mission because I always ran out of pew-pew. :)

This could be fun once it’s finished.

Ooh, another one? I hope it will be good.

I am currently playing Kathy Rain 2, and quite enjoying it. Before, I played Elroy And The Aliens and a bit older Unforeseen Incidents - both very good adventure games. Let’s hope the trend continues. :)

I kind of liked the first one, for a few hours. After that, I remember thinking there is no meaningful progression, or motivation to keep playing, and I never returned to it.

I also remember thinking that the mechanics are enjoyable, but they need an actual game on top of them, instead of a tech demo. Hopefully this is that game. :)

Just report for abusive behavior and move on. Just a quick glance at this user’s moderation history should tell you everything you need to know about them. 🙄

Because too big part of the population really is not capable of that.

And it was probably an Ukrainian tractor, stolen from an Ukrainian farm on occupied territory.

It was a joke. Jokes tend to be “a bit of a stretch”. 🙄

Can it, though? :)

If you ever need to ask yourself this, you ain’t no friend of mine…

They don’t seem to be getting destroyed, though…

They are supposed to pay it out to families of the soldiers. But they skirt around that by simply not retrieving their dead and wounded from the battlegrounds, and marking the soldiers as unknown/missing, thus deferring the payments indefinitely.

There have been multiple reports of wives/widows trying to find out what happened to their husbands, or at least to collect the money, with the military admin stonewalling them.

I think they chose to focus more on the human warmth and positive vibes, and, dare I say, normalcy, to contrast with Trump’s themes of hate and inhumanity that his campaign even seems to be ratcheting up in these final days.

He smirked at the compliment. “What’s discipline got to do with winning?”

That right there tells me all I ever want to know about Trump and how he sees competition.

Not an American, so I do not feel called out, nor do I care about downvotes from idiots who think Lemmy threads are here to be won or lost by getting or giving out good and bad points. :)

EDIT: By “idiots”, I didn’t necessarily mean you. Only after posting this comment I realized that it could be understood that way. Sorry.

Thanks, now that makes things clearer - on Wikipedia, I noticed this “if resident of a US state” exception for voting, but I automatically dismissed it as unimportant, thinking “eh, that has to be a very small fraction of Puerto Ricans”.

Thanks everyone for the informative responses - as a non-US person, I wasn’t aware of the intricacies of Puerto Rico’s unusual voting situation. 👍

Wait, I thought Puerto Rico residents cannot vote in the presidential elections. Even Wikipedia seems to think so.

That’s an odd way to misspell “young incels”…

Could we actually get both of those rich assholes into an arena and let them fight it out?
