Let's talk for a second about alienating and threatening allies. According to NATO figures published last year, NATO countries between them are estimated to have spent a total of $1.404 trillion on defense in 2025 (this figure is based on 2021 prices and exchange rates). US spending accounted for a majority (60%) of this total—so not only did the US spend more than any other NATO country, it spent more than all the other NATO countries combined. https://fullfact.org/world/us-nato-contributions/ We are the LARGEST member of NATO. The alliance we have stipulates that we aide them, and they aide us. The alliance stipulates that we are allowed access to their airspace and military bases in their countries. When we wanted their help and use of their airspace and those bases, they said "NO. Piss off!" That's a violation of the NATO alliance. They are in fact the ones alienating and threatening their biggest ally. We don't need NATO. They need us. We don't need the straight open. We don't need Iranian oil at all. Europe does. They are the ones in reach of Iranian missiles, not us. This is their problem, and they don't want to help, or want to silently help because they allowed their countries to be taken over by Islamist and their scared of the backlash. They are the cowards hiding in fear.

Gals Can't Be Kind to Otaku!? (Otaku ni Yasashii Gal wa Inai!?) https://myanimelist.net/images/anime/1956/155456.jpg Synopsis: Meet Takuya Seo, an otaku who sits behind the popular gals in class, Ijichi and Amane. Since they're people from different "castes," you wouldn't expect them to have much in common. But when their worlds collide over a borrowed eraser, Takuya slips up about his favorite anime, and Amane...is rather quick to correct him. She says she's not a fan, but her familiarity with the series suggests otherwise. Could she be...a fellow geek?!

Trying octopus balls for the first time. They're chewy to say the least...

Maybe we're already taking this class and just haven't realized it yet? Also I love the phrase "Logical Logic" as opposed to logistical logic. I suppose when one is a brilliant math professor grammar becomes optional.
