Because they also want to get credit for dissolving it and replacing it with the exact same agreement but with their name on it?

If Russia starts WW3, the world will last about two weeks, including the time it takes the top brass to burn through all the people who refuse to push the button and replace them with someone who will.

On one hand, if he really does pull out, he'll still be able to brag that his pointless war lasted less than a tenth as long as Bush's. On the other hand, history will probably say that they were on the verse of a revolution that would successfully overthrow the regime and bring lasting peace...

The fact that he opened his mouth at all is indicative of how desperate they are to spread this one through any channel available. Dude might as well be hiding in Cheney's undisclosed location for as little as we've seen or heard from him this entire adminstration.

Under normal circumstances, yes. Normal circumstances like eligible voters actually being allowed to go to the polls without having to worry about getting rounded up and carted off by ICE for not looking white enough. Normal circumstances like the current administration not actively conspiring...

There's something to be said for having something more than just blind hope, and actually being prepared for if things don't magically turn out just fine against all odds. Stay safe out there. That's an order.

This is all true. The trillion-dollar question is, how does one simultaneously force regime change in a country that has the world's #1 superpower eating out of the palm of its hand (or is it the other way around?) and wipe out the force that's currently fighting the hardest to make that happen...

We're certainly all better off than if he were actually committed to it. Which, in turn, would be a better scenario than if he were committed and had a clue what he was doing. It's the same reason nobody has ever treated North Korea as a serious threat.

Can't say I'm weeping for the people who can't afford the fossil fuels we all should have weaned ourselves off of decades ago. Where I'm writing this from it's almost 90 degrees and just as high percent humidity. We can't keep living like that either.

I don't know what it is with so many people wiping their forums and starting over. The internet is slowly dying because all of its useful information is being systematically scrubbed on a whim.

Could certainly be worse. If a company I'm stuck interacting with is going to be using AI, I'd rather it be one with strict limits on what it's allowed to do, and only being allowed to respond directly to messages it receives is about as strict as it gets. That suggests that the company...

Was there any appreciable difference between the options anyway?

Wow, this dystopian future even comes with its own Gordon Frohman working for the oppressors.

What I want to know is how the heck Atari ended up with the rights to any of those. Disney has always acted as publisher for all their tie-in games, and no studio Atari currently owns was behind them. In fact, it would appear that all of the studios involved are either defunct or now owned by...

I like how the Indiana Jones thumbnail looks like one of those "original film/HD 'remaster' that airbrushed out all the detail" comparisons.

You might as well bite the bullet and get used to relying on non-capitalists in your everyday life. By the time this jive is over, we'll all be having to move to secret communes just to keep them from plugging us into the Terror Nexus to be tortured by AM for eternity.

"That is a fun thing to go. I just went that a couple of seconds ago and I loved it." I both love and hate that that makes perfect grammatical sense.

One need not waste brain cells speculating on their motives. One might as well ask why Cthulhu wants to devour the universe.

Depends how many people you mean by "people". Businesses that laid off half their staff and replaced them with AI (i.e. all of them) are going to be going over the numbers in a cold sweat, at the very least.

They are paying attention... to the fact that Trump wanted to do it and the Democrats stopped him. He doesn't even have to lie about it this time.
