I first thought this was a bad idea by Paypal but you opened my eyes

Netanyahu says deadly Israeli strike in Rafah was the result of a 'tragic mistake' ( apnews.com )

TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Monday that a “tragic mistake” was made in an Israeli strike in the southern Gaza city of Rafah that set fire to a camp housing displaced Palestinians and, according to local officials, killed at least 45 people....

They didn't say anything about civilians

wandermind ,

Sure you can, move the civilians out first.

Yes, but in reality nobody is going to nuke anybody, and certainly not because a random internet user vents their frustration at the situation with a clearly metaphorical and exaggerated request. Your reply was an overly literal reading of the comment, like replying to "go fuck yourself" with "...you realize that's not possible, right?"

I simply replied to your literal interpretation with a literal interpretation of my own.

No, they can return after the country has been glassed.

wandermind ,

That's the point

wandermind ,

Of course a nuked country will be a nuked country. That's beside the point, moving the goalposts.

My guy, you should stop feeding the troll. I can keep coming up with bullshit indefinitely. The intent of my original facetious reply was to point out how ridiculous it is to react to a clearly ridiculous and unrealistic suggestion as if it was the most seriously considered expression of an actual policy suggestion ever. But it turns out some people just can't not take every single thing that is said with the utmost seriousness.

Also Conquest of Paradise for me! I had the tune randomly pop up in my head for well over a decade, probably close to two, without having any idea what it was. Every few years I tried finding out what it was, but to no avail. Online melody searches weren't that good, and when I hummed the melody to people or played it on the piano, people either had no clue or, at best, were like "that sounds familiar but I have no idea what it is". I even toyed with the idea that I had come up with the melody myself, though I did find it unlikely.

I can't describe the happiness I felt when I finally discovered the actual song when I once again tried finding it, this time by humming into Google's music search thing

Oh not at all, they're patented Skinner burgers, an old family recipe.

I'm half convinced Putin wants NATO to get directly involved so that he can pull out of Ukraine and be like "We didn't lose to Ukraine, it was the West who once again oppresses poor little Russia"

wandermind ,

I'm not so sure NATO wants to play directly into Putin's anti-West narrative.

Also why would anybody get nuked lol

wandermind ,

Nothing says "we're on path towards inevitable victory" (as Russian shills like to claim) like nuclear saber rattling.

Coming from a country bordering Russia and having had to deal with their bullshit for my entire life, the most frustrating thing about Russian bullshit is that if they could just be normal, they could be an actually wealthy and significant European country in a few decades. But no, they have always had this HUGE inferiority complex, which means that they need to continuously prove that they're great, powerful and important. And the only way they know how to prove their greatness and importance is to flex their "power" on their neighbors, including by militarily expanding their borders, while most of their "peer" countries (most importantly pretty much all of Europe) have moved on from this sort of view of being "powerful" after WW2 by the latest.

This is looking really cool! I'm really interested in trying it out.

Since you mentioned Garmin Connect in this thread, I would like to throw in my five cents too. I'm in the Garmin ecosystem for my fitness tracking devices, so it would be amazing if the game could get my step counts from Garmin Connect, since that's where I'm collecting them anyway, and lugging my phone around to do the step counting can be a bit cumbersome. But if the game is fun enough, I guess it's not a dealbreaker for the time being!
