A related tangent: Ghost Recon had a plot about Russia invading Georgia in 2008. That game was from 2001.

I took one college course and couldn’t handle it. On top of that I was the weird student that wanted to use a Mac instead of the school’s own computers. So anytime I had a problem, the teacher would just blame me using Xcode instead of Visual Studio.
hopesdead@startrek.websiteto Europe@feddit.org•Denmark advises transgender people to contact US Embassy before traveling to the United StatesEnglish431·1 month agoIf you have to tell anyone to contact an embassy, then they shouldn’t be traveling. However, if this is important business related travel, I am truly sorry they are facing such a situation.
Why are non-European countries even allowed to participate?
hopesdead@startrek.websiteOPto News@lemmy.world•Duterte refused fingerprinting and threatened lawsuits during chaotic arrest, Philippine police say1·2 months agoAnyone wondering what a “good” president in Philippines looks like, I was made (as a U.S. born Pinoy) to understand this: celebrities go into government because they are celebrities. In my family we used to joke that at the height of Justin Bieber’s popularity, he would get elected if he was Filipino. Just wanted to contrast things.
No joke, Manny Pacquiao was a senator at one time.
hopesdead@startrek.websiteto Work Reform@lemmy.world•Starbucks continues to be terrible0·2 months agoJust so people are aware, Starbucks was caught buying from farms in Brazil multiple times that used slave labor. In Guatemala, along with Nestle, were caught buying from farm(s?) that used child labor.
EDIT: On top of this the company partnered with Conservation International to certify the farms met the company’s standards. The incident in Brazil saw CI trying to coverup the certification of that farm. Also CI is involved with arms dealing.
EDIT 2: Their retail products have the claim “100% Ethically Sourced”. That is a lie.
EDIT: I got the slogan wrong. It is “Committed to 100% Ethical Coffee Sourcing”.

hopesdead@startrek.websiteto politics @lemmy.world•Trump Boosts Message Telling Americans to ‘Shut Up’ About Egg Prices32·2 months agoThere are people who will argue about bird flu influencing the price. However, when it comes to the Trump Administration, they will only blame the previous administration. They won’t try to take any responsibility for failing to meet the expectations of lowering the price that they promised.

Have you all read 1984? First they will make thing illegal. Then they will hide away what is illegal. After that someone will learn something was illegal. Once they are found out, that illegal thing will be completely changed so there is no evidence anything was illegal to begin with.
I would not be shocked if try to scrub these bans so users can’t see if a community was banned.

hopesdead@startrek.websiteto News@lemmy.world•Mormon church rocked by child sexual abuse allegations in California1·2 months agoYou just reminded me of a joke from It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. During the Ireland arc (“The Gangs Still in Ireland”, season 15 episode 6), Mac pursues an interest in becoming a Catholic priest. He ends up asking, in a vaguely worded question if it is okay to be gay. By the end, he basically nopes out when he realizes the priest was referring to relations with young boys.
Or they got it very accurate? 🤷
That sounds like what could happen.
EDIT: I’m not saying we have to do exactly that. It just seems like the way Trump supports Putin feels like he would do this.
