I think BurgerPunk is a subtype of dieselpunk while burger brains are more biopunk

I really don't get why someone in his position smokes when it's illegal in the DPRK and he's a figurehead (i.e. appearing before people is his job)

I think his Kino dad was more interested in Korean/Cantonese/Russian/German-language films than the English-language ones.

While I think it wouldn't be very useful, there are probably some protest-oriented things you could do that aren't adventurism or even violent that would get the attention of a western state and function as a workable pretext for this purpose

It's not really to his credit, but I think he's the first President since Carter to not declare war (or something very close). He and Carter are still bastards who funded death, and Trump particularly did wildly expand the drone program, but it is what it is.

Your reading is very reasonable (I think that a general audience of native English speakers would be split on the which sense was being used), so there's no need to blame yourself either way.

It would be a weird usage, but people definitely use in a comparable way when talking about video games (event flags and such), so a programmer would be the one to make that stylistic oversight. I can't tell you it's definitely what the admin meant, but it's worth asking.

This genuinely read to me as them using "triggered" in the other sense, like "caused," as gets used in programming speak sometimes. I would never try to argue this as being true because I feel silly in retrospect, but just thought I'd share.

Even weirder how they defederated Hexbear then though; that conversation is with Hexbear users who they clearly agree with.

They are friendly to chasers and really heckin' mad about tankies, so they won't get along with HB even if both parties rightfully hate Rowling.
