plz i need this

yeah I had forgotten that part

I doubt the Gaza resistance has or wants Shahed drones. They’re huge and very long range and require vehicles to transport. Hezbollah has had a lot of success with smaller fpv quadcopters from what I’ve seen, and southern Lebanon is much larger than Gaza so range would not be an issue. They can be carried easily on foot by guerilla fighters which seems necessary given the state of Gaza.

From the half life fandom wiki:

The Seven Hour War was a brief but decisive confrontation between the Combine and the governments of Earth, ultimately leading to a large human death toll and the surrender of the planet in less than seven hours. The victorious Combine began their occupation shortly after.

This doesn’t claim that they are literally based on the IDF, but being the occupiers would make the combine the IOF in any analogy between the two. I’ve been meaning to replay half life since it’s been ages for me so I’ll be paying attention to whether this holds up when I do.

From what I remember though, it seems believable. It’s obviously not a perfect 1:1 fictional recreation, but thinking about the world of half life the similarities are striking. Humanity was facing total annihilation by an unbelievably cruel and powerful force that they couldn’t resist under total war. Their total surrender saved them, but resulted in an oppressive occupation where the humans who were willing to accept this surrender and collaborate with the combine were the only ones allowed to have political power, and that power could only be wielded over other humans, not the combine. Thus the indigenous population of earth was subjected to apartheid. The combine came from a vast empire, and their rule and power is precarious because it depends on connection and support from the greater empire. Then there’s the gameplay, where the resistance need to stay hidden and use urban guerilla tactics in a concrete jungle of a city that they are confined to. It does sound like how I’d imagine Gaza before october 7th.

A lot were made but quite a few were shot down by the VPAAF and quite a few are also in boneyards used for parts to keep others flying.

The new Havana syndrome

Something about being born in that era makes you an entitled, impatient dickhead.

They must’ve been taught it somehow. I’ve heard this sentiment so much even from people who otherwise believe generational politics is bs.

thank you!

This is disgusting but I also can’t help but find it funny how this woman who probably barely thought about the knicks owner was living rent free in his head. It’s so creepy though it makes my skin crawl.

Unfortunately it looks like the archive included the paywall block :/

Wym index funds are required to buy the largest companies? What law is this?

who is she?

We should be able to recognize and call out obvious smear campaigns rather than signal boosting them. It’s important for the credibility of our own criticisms, as well as knowing how to recognize it and respond effectively when these same tactics are used against our comrades.

Yeah being old as fossilized shit tends to be a terminal diagnosis.

Wasn’t there already evidence that he was experiencing some sort of cardio problems?

“While I may never have certainty about all the things that ultimately led to Jane’s death, I know that one stressor in her life was her struggle to fit in socially as a transgender girl,” according to the court record written by her mother, who was identified only as Janice Doe in the filing.

It fills my heart up with rage and breaks it.

Thank you! I’m liking them so far
