Afghanistan, uspol
My take:
This wasn't a fuckup on the part of the U.S.
It was a successful, 20-year money laundering scheme.
Trillions of dollars' worth of Gen X's adulthood and Millennials' childhood were funneled out of American society, through Afghanistan
And into the pockets of defense contractors -- who are largely Republicans.
All those cushy, well-paying DC jobs in the past two decades -- these reports and videos are the price.
The Taliban aren't mystical superheroes who defeated the best armed forces on earth. They were the premise and the excuse for this multi-decade scam.
This wasn't a failure of the US military, either. Common soldiers were fooled and used.
And it's not Biden's fault -- or even Trump's really (though Trump made it worse because that's his shtick).
It's Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Ashcroft, Rove, and earlier Republicans who made this happen.
"Never forget."

So, I've been reminded I might have BPD. Thankfully not violently so. Haven't had another episode of anything, but I do have a 2 page list of "Oh, yeah. All of this shit that I never talked with anyone about and assumed was fine now." Though, as it turns out, I might not be fine, much as I told my therapist and psychiatrist I was. Am I fine, or am I dissociating as usual and assuming that I'm fine afterwards? That I don't yet have a satisfactory answer to. Ugh. Mental health is hard.
weird idea: cooperative mode of a fighting game. instead of attempting to win, you're working with your opponent to make a flashy battle happen, and the game judges the two of you combined based on style and technique
this might encourage players to coach each other on techniques and stuff, especially if the kinds of things it judges you on are also applicable in versus matches

programming take
I think it would be much better if learning programming was less like "we're going to learn this one language and we will start from memorizing what all these functions in the standard library do" and more like "here's an explanation of common programming concepts, here's how you can efficiently use documentation to use any language, here's some programming patterns that are useful and here's some that you should avoid"
Bit of a late update, but we finally have internet back. Took over three hours, but it's back on. Woo.
