Epic Pinball was another game that I recall was written in assembly. When your old 286 struggled to run games at a decent framerate, Epic Pinball would run in a smooth 75fps or whatever you set your CRT monitor to.

The point is that “NATO” is an umbrella term for “US’s interests” or “US military”.

Well if we’re just misusing words and making things up, shit, why not say “DPRK” is an umbrella term for “US’s interests”?

I think you might need to engage in some self-reflection and consider whether you may have been influenced by Russian/Chinese propaganda. There is no rational reason to have a problem with the existence of NATO.

Afghanistan was a NATO Article 5 mission. We didn’t stick around a minute after the NATO mission was over.

But that’s not true. Why do you guys repeat such propaganda without question? Countless nations have messed with the US’s economic interests throughout history, how many times has NATO gotten involved?

No, they are an alliance for defense. Nothing peaceful about it, they will fuck you up with military force if you mess with any one of their member states.

NATO doesn’t really do much other than scare Russia and China. There were a couple of debatable interventions in Europe, and the US did demand everyone join them in Afghanistan, but not Iraq, for example. NATO doesn’t just automatically go where America goes. They have actual rules that have to be cited, like Article 5.

Been 10 years of satirists saying “satire is dead”, would be nice for someone to actually try again for a change.

It’s Chef! Chef from South Park! Season 1 IIRC.

Say everybody have you seen my balls
they’re big and salty and brown!
If you ever need em’ quick
pick me up
just stick my balls in your mouth

Suck on my chocolate salty balls
stick 'em in your mouth and suck 'em
Suck on my chocolate salty balls
they’re packed full of vitamins and good for you
So suck on my balls!

That’s easy, but PostgreSQL is pronounced Postgres-Q-L.

I’m running it on a raspberry pi, how much more portable could you need?

That’s how gasoline spills (on water) work. They cover the water about one molecule thick.

The RCMP is the federal police that investigate federal crimes, like the FBI, and also do local policing for areas without a local police force.

Nowadays the nerds either go corporate or are too autistic to apply to anything.

I’m Canadian so idk about FBI, but I do know a guy that became an RCMP officer, and he said they administered a polygraph, and he indicated everyone seemed to believe it was a real thing.

People who use lie detectors as a machine they think can detect lies are stupid.

The real purpose of the lie detector is to trick the suspect into thinking it can detect lies, to the point where they confess.

Ancient trick. The voodoo magic chicken. “This chicken can tell all lies from truth, and it says you are lying.” Who doesn’t believe in voodoo magic? So the thief, knowing the jig is up, confesses.

Yeah but good luck holding a sign that says “Don’t shop here, they hire immigrants”.

Lobby the government to stop doing that. In the meantime, teach them their rights, how to unionize, help them with food security and finding a place to live, so that they aren’t in such a precarious position that makes exploitation so profitable.

The problem is when immigrants from countries with lower labour standards and poorer conditions are effectively used as “scabs”, to suppress wage growth and unionization. And I fear the capitalists who benefit from this are pushing the “you just hate immigrants” narrative to protect it.

When my brother was half-awake after raising a baby, he was at the liquor store with his friend to buy a bottle of wine, and the guy at the counter asked “…your ID?” and he heard “Are you ready?” so he just said “Ready for what?” “Your ID!” “Yes I am ready! Let’s go!”

Other guy had to step in and say “he’s very tired, just had a baby”.
