I wish it weren’t so. Kindness is often just a choice.

Oh good we finally trained them enough. Can we please get rid of captcha now have the next portion?

I mean… That still works. In Iraq the US Army routinely ran bait ambushes in areas AQ was known to operate. Oh look a single vehicle and they’re waving beer bottles around. That’s not a trap at all… Meanwhile there’s an entire infantry platoon traveling dark and silent just out of the light behind them.

HEMA is not combat. It’s tournament fighting. In combat you’ve got a thousand spearmen on either side looking to stick you with a sharp stick wherever they can.

What’s more important, an old painting or the people enjoying it?

Just do anything as long as you don’t have to be inconvenienced. Got it.

Point of order, they didn’t block the road. They were up on the sign poles. The police stopped traffic.

Horizon Zero Dawn did a really good study on the ego of a tech billionaire.

Nah, nationalize his shit right out from under him, draft his executives and explain to them the terms Chain of Command and UCMJ. That’s the kind of thing billionaires are actually afraid of.

I’m sorry you were molested but you cannot expect strangers to refrain from playing with each other to respect triggers they don’t even know exist. I know it sucks, I know it can even feel like physical pain. But they are not psychic and while we did not ask for trauma, it is our responsibility at the end of the day, not theirs. They’re just having fun and they should be able to do that.

The only chance he had, while still taking Poland, was to not meaningfully attack France, Netherlands, or Britain. Make it clear he was willing to settle with them. None of those countries were thrilled to be in a war, that would have been the end of it with a new map of Europe.

The West didn’t care about the Holocaust and felt more threatened by Russia. The war in the Pacific would have still happened of course. And there’s a fair chance the West would have teamed up with Hitler to fight Russia.

Anything beyond Poland was just a bridge too far.

But they didn’t get the code. That’s the quest they can do, hold you in contempt of court. Which in the US is illegal under the 5th amendment.

I live out west. Think of how far would be intolerable to walk in 45 degree heat and then add 30 minutes standing by the road, waiting for traffic lights to change, so you can attempt to cross without a crosswalk or a sidewalk, while you roast in the added heat from car exhaust.

1 m is approximately 3 ft

Maybe in some countries but in a western one they aren’t getting a pattern or passcode unless you verbally give it to them. We do know though that there is some level of capability to crack phones though.

Yeah, I’m really loving having only semi control.

Right? I moved away a while ago but now every time I’m back I’m getting crab.

Oh that’s been my new favorite tactic. I said you’d get research and a vote. I didn’t say it would be enacted or that we would build that…

ProPublica is left. Lmao. Every time I think I’ve seen the worst take from these guys they one up the last one.

God damnit all. I mean we knew Blinken was lying, deliberately not seeing the truth. But they couldn’t even get the actual state department to go along with it. They literally just fucking lied about their own investigation. And the most infuriating thing about it is these guys aren’t dumb. They knew something like this would come and from a respected source.

If we want to keep Israel as an ally there has to be accountability. The American people didn’t stand for South African apartheid and they won’t stand for this. It’s political suicide here at home and we’re going to end up with our most sensitive military technology in the hands of a rogue state.
