i know the blobs are killing people in iran and there is a genodie in gaza and I'm very sorry and I hope things get better


however I can't help but thinking how great things are going, personally
you should not say this out loud because the fates are lurking and if they see a man getting too cocky and pleased with himself they will consider him arrogant and thrust bad luck on him.

but it is great. the weather is great the job is great the world is open for travel great health is great all is ok. we live such finite lives and before you know it it's over and you don't even know when this will be so don't get worried for something that is transient because so are you.

also there has been months upon monnths. haven't drunk anything except a beer at a rock concert. it is an amazing feeling of stability )the sobriety not the cocnert) I don't ever want to lose it.

anyway, yes clear open skies the sky is the limit beautiful world ]]> Off Topic Bereta_Eder https://apolyton.net/forum/miscellaneous/off-topic/9489048-what-a-wonderful-world https://apolyton.net/forum/miscellaneous/off-topic/sports-forum/9489025-nba Mon, 06 Apr 2026 21:24:01 GMT Sports Forum Demonbinder https://apolyton.net/forum/miscellaneous/off-topic/sports-forum/9489025-nba https://apolyton.net/forum/miscellaneous/off-topic/9489015-poor-bebro Sun, 05 Apr 2026 19:23:33 GMT https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cvg3nr83xyvo https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cvg3nr83xyvo]]> Off Topic Bereta_Eder https://apolyton.net/forum/miscellaneous/off-topic/9489015-poor-bebro https://apolyton.net/forum/miscellaneous/off-topic/9489003-serious-iranians-ridiculous-americans Sat, 04 Apr 2026 18:04:19 GMT
you listen to the ameriancs and you realize they are not even worth your hatred, they are that pathetic.

also that right wing extremist with the cross tattoos that poses as the minister of "war" (god, there are no limits to what a clown a country can be) said they brought iran back to the stone age?

the reply of the iranians was well, true: "we withstood alexander and then the mongol horde when you were monkeys sh ting yourself up on the trees" and it is true. there is no ambiguity.

has US EVER won a SINGLE war?

But since the ongoing genocide in Gaza, and now the West Bank and Lebanon, the mask has fallen away and they're no longer pretending.

Their latest atrocity to human decency is voting in a death penalty into law...

Any country with the death penalty is, by definition, backwards and barbaric.

But they have taken it to a new level - theirs is also racist, as it applies only to Palestinians!

This isn't just the wishes of the few. This is a democracy. This is the will of the people, just like the genocide was.

Just like Trump being president is a manifestation of the wishes of the plurality of US voters.

Israel and the US are two deeply sick societies... 😥]]> Off Topic I AM MOBIUS https://apolyton.net/forum/miscellaneous/off-topic/9488928-there-is-something-rotten-in-the-state-of-israel https://apolyton.net/forum/miscellaneous/off-topic/9488898-have-netanyahu-and-trump-finally-killed-poly Fri, 27 Mar 2026 11:32:41 GMT
I can only surmise that everything I've been warning about has come to pass and no one has a response other than meekly accepting my big fat 'I told you sos'...

I would point to them: The US as a whole, Israel, Bush, Biden, Trump, Ukraine, Russia, Putin, China, the climate, energy security...

The list goes on and I've been vindicated with everything - never knowingly proven wrong...

I would point to countless threads and posts, countless predictions that have all come to pass...

But then someone thought it would be funny to delete half my posts and entire threads... 🤷

Anyway, I know and you know, so it's irrelevant that they're gone, rather a final admission that I've been right all along 🙂

I do think a lot of good will ultimately come from all this, like Israel and the US will finally be seen for what they are...

And it's not Trump. He's just an honest manifestation of what's always been there. This is the fault of the people, he is just the symptom of the deep structural sickness of the country. The same with Netanyahu. Moreso in Israel's case...

The nation needs to identify its 'enemy within' and resist, to 'take back control' of a solid and democratic state whose first priority is the welfare of its citizens.

As per the Epstein files, that enemy is not just on the right, actually, everything is on the right in the US! 😅 But it also represents the corrupt elites of the Democratic Party as well. It is their dysfunctionality and infiltration by the Israel Lobby that set them on the course of aiding and abetting genocide in Gaza in the first place and set the conditions to allow a fascist like Trump to get re-elected, despite his traitorous January 6 insurrection and storming of the Capitol...

If this was a game of Civ, then the person who's playing the US has just monumentally ****ed things up. He was already beginning to lose the game. Now he's unequivocally handed China victory, as the Chinese player is well poised to capitalise on this latest and most catastrophic move. China was essentially already holding most of the cards, but this represents confirmation to the more discerning observer.

The US player can no longer threaten the Chinese player via domination, and he's daily losing his advantages in science and score. The real disaster, however, is in diplomacy:

This is how China is winning, and will win. Like an anaconda, slowly suffocating its adversary...

For the US player, this has become one of those frustrating games, where now that he's thrown his lead away, no matter how much he can develop his civilisation, China is simply outstripping his gains exponentially - systemically pulling away out of reach.

The US player has lost already, and he probably still hasn't even figured it out yet.

Against the AI, I tend to play like the US; against human players, I play like China...

So, how do YOU play Civ? 🤔]]> Off Topic I AM MOBIUS https://apolyton.net/forum/miscellaneous/off-topic/9488756-how-do-you-play-civ
