Disney world is already a ghost town.

Probably, it's super common as a union busting tactic. Because once labor is organized you can't really put that cat back in the bag.

up to you, and your sense of style. I think it looks fine.

They came on TV every day for a year and a half telling us about Iraq's WMD's and we were scared and confused after 9/11.

Now there was no inciting incident, we have the internet with alternative narratives to the state lies, we have a massively depressed economy from decades of wars gutting our middle class and transferring wealth from the middle class to the elite, and they are trying to speed run there propaganda about Iran in like two weeks using the same tired lies they pushed for during Iraq.

So, in their mind it's just like Iraq, but there is a reason this war only has about 16% support with 64% against. This war will break maga and will break the US before it breaks Iran. That's my guess anyways.

Oh, and Iran has almost 4 times the population as Iraq did when we invaded it, has witnessed Iraq and Lybia and have been developing and importing weapons independent of the US sphere of influence for decades while Saddam was a US puppet until he wasn't. So yeah, I don't think it'll go the same.

The verbiage is a little funky in this case. This war is definitely one of Israeli aggression but Iran is indeed launching counterattacks on Israel. I don't necessarily think OP was trying to say otherwise, they possibly just used the term attack instead of strike.

wasn't it about 82% of Israelis that supported the forced expulsion of Palestinians? I'm all for having sympathy for the innocent, just doesn't seem like there are that many innocents there.

Don't forget that Epstein was linked to Israel Military intelligence, so there is that...

It was super attentive to d&d details such as almost all the classes of the party using intelligence as dump stats or the specifics of the spells mechanics while also not needing the audience to know any of that to have a good time and understand what was going on.

And the use of d&d lore and mechanics were woven into the characters and narrative, it wasn't just hey remember this thing from d&d. Way underrated, probably bad marketing.

It was before my time but I believe digg was killed by digg. Reddit just happened to be in the right place at the right time
