You’d think they would’ve learned. Guess not.

Because the user is affiliated with, or probably runs, the site. It’s their own title. Every single post by this user is for this fan news site and it’s virtually every post in this community at this point.

Yeah I don’t know what the author of the article is blabbering about. The 911 could be gotten through the Johnny Silverhand questline ever since launch. It’s the same quest where you can get Johnny’s pistol.

In the US, extreme violence has always been a lot more accepted than nudity. Which really says a lot about what kind of values the society has when completely natural human biology is shunned and anti-social destructive behavior isn’t.

Had MacArthur had his way, Hiroshima would look like a safe haven compared to Pyongyang. He suggested using nukes "tactically" in North Korea to take out strategic infrastructure like bridges and tunnels. But that’s kind of like bringing a cannon to hunt sparrows. This was the US’ most celebrated general at the time on account of his success in the Pacific Theatre during WW2 and enormous success defending South Korea; what he said could really only be overruled by the President, which is ultimately what happened.
The top brass didn’t care about civilian casualties. That much is obvious when they suggest using full-blown nukes just to take out bridges.

…? I think there are plenty of lower bars than the US.. in fact I can’t think of a more apt country to compare to. If you count Europe as a region then that would be valid as well, I guess. The US is the only world economy on the same level as China.

The point of Congress is to be able to challenge the singular power of the head of state if they get too power-hungry… it doesn’t work if you can just disregard it whenever you feel it’s inconvinient. Do you want a (for now) democratically elected dictatorship where there is no challenge to the power of the president?

The concept of open borders for work and tourism works very well for the EU (imo) - I think this is a good thing.
