Today, we’ll be talking about a small but fascinating country named Djibouti. You see, it may not seem like there is much talk about Djibouti, but it actually holds key strategic value. Whoever holds control of it controls passage to the Red Sea which connects to the Suez Canal which connects to the Mediterranean Sea which connects to the Black Sea which connects to Ukraine’s coastline. Kim Jong-Un realizes this, and his set his sites on gaining influence over Djibouti to make way for North Korea’s planned naval invasion of Ukraine. To do this, he has started borrowing Xi bucks from China using them to bribe Djiboutian officials. All is not lost however, the CIA has caught wind of this and has begun sending aid to Djiboutian officials to help them resist North Korean influence. However, it’s imperative that the West unite around the strategic importance of Djibouti to prevent Kim Jong-Un’s dreams of navally invading Ukraine from ever coming to fruition.

In S tier I would add stick bugs. Botflies deserve their own hell tier.

Occasionally in my area there has been times where we have had wayyy too much of them to the point where they were completely covering the walls and windows where the sun was shining and they also smell really bad if you accidentally crush one.

When I played the Final Fantasy X remaster some time ago it honestly felt strange to play a “complete” out of the box game again. I got reminded of how it felt to actually organically discover secrets and challenge content.

32% isn’t bad actually for a poll given by a pro-ukraine, pro-israel reactionary YouTuber that by all means should have a like-minded audience.

In the rare instances that the lib you are talking to truly doesn’t know any better and is only a lib because of upbringing/political illiteracy it can be, depending on how constructively you go about it. If you are arguing with a clear turbolib then no that isn’t praxis.

Yes, he deeply regretted not passing a mandate on state provided pet capybaras for all households in the USSR.

I agree, never let your country be led by someone like Boris Yeltin or one the various CIA-installed dictators.

Great game, this was the first game that got me hooked on purely narrative focused games. The androids are a stand-in for proles and Markus is essentially Lenin.

Insert Anakin and Padme meme.

I guess it’s settled then. If you aren’t cool with working at least 60 hours a week at coal mine and have your hearing, lungs and back get destroyed to make anything decently above sustenance level pay, then you are a mountain dew drinking basement dweller who survives off making click-bait youtube videos.

Disco Elysium is included in the bundle.

Nobody was ever better at dunking on Bush then himself.

I’m guessing with France they are afraid of agitating their domestic muslim population even further towards rioting and violence. Hungary under Orban has always been openly islamophobic so not too surprising for them I guess.

Saudi Arabia isn’t a surprise because despite it’s leaders being snakes their muslim population overwhelmingly supports Palestine which doesn’t give them much of choice.

Yemen- Fine, I’ll do it myself.

Hungary being in the against category hits different now after the whole pager thing.

The burden is less about being right or wrong, and more about having to hear the same generic anti-communist talking points be parroted over, and over, and over, and over and over again, day after day, everyday.

Star Wars also came to my mind when thinking about this whole thing. It’s something that could come straight from the mind of Darth Sidious.

I’d certainly take it over CNN, BBC, DW, Fox etc. but yeah, it’s very hit or miss. They can sometimes bring up leftist points you’d never get in Western media but also a lot of weird socially right wing stuff too and some takes that frankly do not always strike me as all that smart. It’s pro-Russia yes, as are all large news companies towards the country they are based out of.
