HARRISON MANN: This deployment, I think, sends a very strong message, unfortunately, to the Netanyahu government, which is that if you continue to escalate with Iran, you will be rewarded with the protection of additional U.S. systems and troops. And it also, unfortunately, sends the message that, you know, we’ve seen the people burning in tents, and we’ve seen you publicly muse about starving everybody in northern Gaza to death, and that’s not a deal breaker.

And then, the other issue here is that we are, indisputably, putting more U.S. troops at risk by sending them to Israel. They’re going to be operating out of Israeli military installations. And we’ve seen, both with the October 1 Iranian attack and then more recent Hezbollah attacks, that Israel’s adversaries can penetrate its air defenses and can strike targets within Israeli bases. So, we have to be very clear that these troops are entering a combat zone. They are going to be at risk, especially as escalation continues. And unfortunately, they’ve been sent there, I think, with no consultation with Congress, with no clear legal justification, without the argument that they are needed to go there for urgent self-defense needs.

And if you’re asking why would we keep supporting or why would the president keep supporting Netanyahu, even when he knows that he’d rather have a Republican president, Donald Trump, in office, I think they just can’t imagine another strategy. And it’s really unfortunate to see that this administration — and to a certain extent, the Harris campaign — would rather risk her election than distance themselves from Israel and from the genocide.

Maybes I missed the rule that says "Redditors that try to be helpful will be banned".

How will this change US/NA distribution of films? Will it affect licensing of content in the future?

The Fabled Woods is a short narrative "walking simulator" that explores the lives of several strangers in the woods and how they're connected. While enjoying picturesque scenery and a short jaunt down a forested path, you're treated to the short tales of Larry, Sara, and Todd.

Larry suspects there's someone watching him in the woods, while Sara is investigating a crime scene in the woods.

As you listen to their individual stories, you'll get an option to "remember," which will turn everything dark red except for a glowing-red blood path pointing you toward an object. Taking hold of the object will take you to this dark floating path in a red sky, where you'll hear darker and more intimate details behind each person's life.

Todd's story will tie all the others together, explaining how each person is connected to each other. It's a pretty short game. While taking my time and exploring the beautiful imagery of the forest, it took me about an hour to complete. Most people say they're done in about 40 mins.

There were complaints on Steam that this game was way overpriced for its short and simple gameplay. The developers responded by permanently reducing the price. And it just so happens that it's currently 90% off right now, so if this sounds even remotely intriguing, you can get it for less than a buck until October 27th.

I always buy my Steam games on sale (which is how I could afford to buy over 3,500 of them over the years!) so I like to point out good deals if I find them. The story was mildly interesting at best, so it's definitely worth a buck. I probably wouldn't pay more than that, personally.

Welcome to AskKaren - Where Karen's Always Guilty!

This is your one-stop shop to confront the Karen in your life—whether she’s real or totally made up. Got cut off in traffic? Got attitude from a customer at work? Or maybe your HOA’s newest complaint about your garden has "Karen" written all over it? This is the place to ask Karen why she did it.

Here’s how it works:

1. Make up any scenario where Karen’s acting like... well, Karen—and ask her to explain herself.

2. Share your real-life frustrations and get into Karen's head—because obviously, it was her fault, right?

Whether it’s a fake story or a real moment of Karen-level entitlement, come ask her why she insists on making life difficult. Don’t hold back. She sure as hell wouldn’t.

Title pretty much says it all. When I watched the Sadness I learned, much to my surprise, that I sort of have limits where the gore becomes a bit too much.

That being said, that movie was on another level of impressively realistic horribleness happening for about two straight hours. Terrifier seems more Western and classic blood and stuff but wondered if anyone had seen both and had thoughts?
