This is actually an FN CAL. It sorta looks like a slightly smaller FAL but it was a rotating bolt chambered in 5.56. It wasn’t produced for very long, eventually replaced by the FN FNC.

The number of Palestinians killed has not been updated in months because the means by which to reliably count the dead (i.e. hospitals) has been destroyed. The number is likely much higher than that.

Why not Zoidberg?

I feel like this is the actual purpose for most CIA funded activities, they were just too obvious about it

Charged, brought to trial, and convicted of NOTHING. Zero people went to jail for shooting those students. That’s the “serious” attitude the US takes to first amendment rights.

Going out of your way to demonstrate how stupid you are

Be well!

Did you actually think you’d somehow lessen or half-way justify FUCKING GENOCIDE because of the intricacies of realpolitik? Are you serious?!

Get increasingly and never-endingly fucked.

Sabine regularly shoves her entire foot in her mouth wrt physics by making huge, unjustified assertions and generally ignoring or completely misrepresenting any counter argument thrown her way. Anyone who was tangentially part of the physics community wasn’t the least bit surprised by her YouTube absurdities.

So no one can be called a Fed even if they do the most Fed-like things?

Stop being the chud, then. EZPZ.

The next headline: Chinese Economy on the brink of ruin from too much innovation

BladeRunner: 2049 gets better and better with every viewing. Even more so if you’ve read Pale Fire, which is referenced a few times in the movie. A masterpiece in every way.

It isn’t sci-fi, it’s space fantasy.

Pathetic, terminally online “leftists” looking for any and every reason (especially petty and/or made-up ones!) to criticize more popular leftists instead of doing literally anything else to help.

I don’t need to provide an alternative to point out that something is bad. I don’t need to follow the hyper-liberal norms and practices that you’re so fond of on sites like reddit, it simply is not a requirement.

It’s a strange twist of logic you have that no one can have an viewpoint counter to yours without providing you an alternative to your liking. Grow the fuck up and learn how to be critical of news sources, or at least how to find sources critical of them. If you’re so good at reading and research and understanding it really should not be an obstacle for you.

You come into this thread high and mighty about your (self-perceived) knowledge and wisdom only to spout ignorant nonesense in reply after reply and then cry when people call you out on it. Intellectually, you are a coward; emotionally, you are a child.

Here’s my counter tl;dr for your reddit-brain: Get fucked.

There’s not a lot of reason to read Capital unless you’re academically interested in all of the details therein; there are good summaries and explanations of that work that are less cumbersome and more relevant to our current time. I’m not saying people shouldn’t read it, just that it’s pretty dense and not really something that should be considered absolutely mandatory for understanding.

Much of what Lenin wrote, however, is a different story. State and Revolution, for example, is short and easy to read and understand. Even someone who has trouble reading could finish it an afternoon, it’s like 100 pages. Just reading 10-15 pages a day - which should be trivially easy - will have it finished in no time. It’s hard to believe someone couldn’t get through a dozen pages of it at a time unless they’re very lazy.

Ah yes, the famously non-ideological and trustworthy AP and NPR.

I felt the same way at first but you have keep in mind that the gorilla is pretty capable of defending itself

They’re projecting. They’re imaging the petty things they’d like to ban to control and humiliate their political opponents and then applying that same deranged behavior to people of an entirely different culture.

In lib world, they would definitely arrest huge swaths of the poeple daily (or at least try to) for frivolous bullshit which is, for some reason, of huge importance to them. The difference is that they think they could actually be effective in doing so and that those primitive Chinese people are just too inherently inept and weak to achieve the desired result.
