Time + gravity + chemistry + physics = hot stirring clumpy rock stew
As the stew goes from hot to warm over millions of years things settle into some interesting patterns. The highest concentrations of known gold geological formations happen to be on the oldest pieces of the earth’s crust btw.
The USA has by far the largest prison population in absolute terms and per capita. You have no idea what you are saying.
Reminds me of DS9. This isn’t Bajor though.
Every technology that China invests in developing for themselves has ultimately improved access to that tech in the global south beyond anything the west has done. Solar and smart phones being the first two examples with high speed rail coming along too. This will likely follow a similar process. I’m excited to see where this leads.
China is supporting Russia who are waging a war resulting in civilian casualties!
but the civilian casualty rate is like 10+ times worse in the war [actually a genocide] that the USA is directly supporting
This is going to boost the insurance rates I would imagine. Prosperity Guardian is going to be spending money on protecting a handful of the most risk-tolerant ships/crews. The only other traffic will be non-genocider/enablers stuff that won’t be targeted anyway.
Makes me wonder if BRICS dedollarization is going to become the economic stick wielded against the genociders and their enablers. They seem very dedicated to isolating themselves from the vast majority of the rest of the world.
Here is the relevant section:
Over many years, the United States has criticised NATO Allies for not spending enough on defence. Rightly so. And I commend the U.S. leadership on this important issue. But things have changed.
All Allies have increased defence investments. Adding an additional 450 billion dollars. NATO Allies have committed to spending at least 2% of their GDP on defence. And many are exceeding that target already. For example, this year Poland will spend more than 4%. No other Ally spends more.
With more money, we are boosting our defence industry.
NATO creates a market for defence sales.
Over the last two years, NATO Allies have agreed to purchase 120 billion dollars’ worth of weapons from U.S. defence companies.
Including thousands of missiles to the U.K, Finland and Lithuania,
Hundreds of Abrams tanks to Poland and Romania,
And hundreds of F-35 aircraft across many European Allied nations – a total of 600 by 2030.
From Arizona to Virginia, Florida to Washington state,
American jobs depend on American sales to defence markets in Europe and Canada.
What you produce keeps people safe. What Allies buy keeps American businesses strong. So NATO is a good deal for the United States.
Ladies and gentlemen,
The Heritage Foundation stands for the power of ideas that keep America strong. NATO is an incredibly powerful idea. That advances U.S. interests. And multiplies America’s power.
The total death toll in Gaza since October 7 has increased to at least 28,340 Palestinians, while an estimated 67,984 have been injured.
Israeli media reported that in the early morning of February 12, two Israeli hostages were recovered by Israeli forces in Rafah, marking the first time hostages had been taken in a military operation.
The Zionist Entity’s actions clearly show that they value the life of 1 citizen as equivalent to ~15,000 Palestinian lives. That’s just simple logic and math.
Saying that Palestinians need to demiltarize while the Zionist entity is getting billions in lethal aid from the US regularly.
c’mon, it’s right there

A physics based surfing game that has procedural coastline generation using seeds. The wave fluid physics interacts with the different coasts to create different surfing conditions along with some swell randomization parameters. SimSurfer.
What about that whole ‘Ukraine did Nordstream’ narrative? Guess Germany knows it’s a cover story.
I’d imagine this is something the HW has to support, and the software has to implement a solution via that HW support. I’m really excited to see SteamOS coming up as the next mobile linux platform. With the support from Valve, I’d consider a steam deck or similar over other tablet options.
I gave you a perfectly reasonable explanation of what the same map means. You refuse to accept it and write like this. Disengage.
Whotf talks like this anyway?
is an accusation and not an opinion besides also being wrong.
No each map is explained on that comm. You assigning it ‘imperial core’ and asking for an explanation is some JAQing off sealioning imo. Theses maps correlate how interests of countries align around various issues, and the ‘same map’ comes up a lot because of how these same countries often agree on things in contrast to the the rest of the world. It’s not some socio-political theory, it’s just the reality of how these countries align into blocs that correlate with maintaining the current US hegemonic status quo.
The two maps that really ‘explained’ this concept for me were the map of countries that ‘condemn China’s treatment of Uyghur Muslims’ contrasted with the map of ‘countries that recognize Palestine’. It shows how this bloc of countries want to demonize China while supporting the ongoing genocide of Palestine’s indigenous peoples. The principles they espouse are unmasked in the light of the truth of this comparison.
So JB is going to star as the snake, right? Giving KG the squeeze was just him working on his method.
