Lmao again what the actual fuck are you talking about

Sounds like you may have been banned from communities that are expressing more nuanced opinions. Perhaps because of your fairly obviously dogmatic stance (not on genocide, but on how people are reacting to it)

Tbh David Brooks definitely has that “I enjoy inviting the neighborhood children over for storytime in my naked puzzle basement” aesthetic going on

What the actual fuck are you talking about?

By which I mean your sweeping, obviously inaccurate claims about the userbase, not the genocide, which is definitely happening, happened under the previous administration too, and is extremely fucked up, and likely contributed to the fascists getting elected given how abysmally the DNC handled the entire situation?

If Spanish is not your mother tongue and you’re not “fully fluent” (by which I mean: have the ability to think in that language without any sort of mental translation layers): perhaps because your brain has to engage and work somewhat harder subconsciously to parse and understand it, compared to a more reflexive understanding of?

Peter Thiel needs to be the first, tbh

Depends if the regime successfully rewrites the history books. Or, if we’re being blunt, whether the regime ever allows another free and fair election, loses, and subsequently cedes power without just flipping the table over and cementing their power indefinitely in some fashion. And if you think that second part is alarmist or hyperbolic, you are not paying attention.

Tangentially, I’m curious to see how ticket sales crater from international visitors compared to years past, due to our the absolutely unhinged customs/border policies the regime has introduced (and is actively making more extreme).

As a unitedstatesian, look into the wildly changed and extremely invasive entry/visa requirements before you consider visiting. If I were in your shoes, I wouldn’t - and I say that out of respect for privacy and human rights, not any sense of xenophobia. Shit is getting very weird here in a very bad way, if you’ve not been paying attention.

I’m a little bit surprised that the Tolkien estate never sued them for that. I suppose the terms were never copyrighted..? But at the same time, appropriating a character or concept name from a copyrighted work and using it as a company name does seem like something a good lawyer could work with… but idk, I’m not an attorney.

Finding a good pharmacological balance

The DOJ is now led by people who are 100% all-in on the orangeboi cult, so there’s going to be 0 consequences whatsoever

 

Super awesome that the heaviest hitters in the industry are folding like this. It’s almost as if the entire legal profession is worth jack shit. Jesus tapdancing christ.

Government websites now no longer mention perhaps the single most selfless, incredible, and strategically significant coordinated effort by a community of First Nation military personnel in service to a country that did worse than nothing to deserve their loyalty - and yet they played, and succeeded in, a pivotal role that literally helped win the pacific campaign.

Any veterans on here: I really do hope you’re furious at this.

It’s a very obvious solution once you take a look at what a lot of their coastline looks like. Elevated armor delivery. Skip the beach. Dump ‘em’ straight on the coastal roads. Makes a shocking amount of sense. Definitely much more specific of a use case than the more general purpose landing support vessels that the USN/USMC employs, but for their primary missions and targets in the next decade, this is exactly the hardware that will significantly increase the CCP’s chances.

This is the an evolution of the combined arms amphibious assault tactics that the US has refined for the better part of a century. For heavily built up targets - specifically those that need to be assaulted and captured quickly for any reasonable chance of success (read: Taiwan + establishing a foothold on the island), this is PERFECT. This basically lets you dump 1000 tanks and a ton of IADS and 100k infantrymen in like, an hour.

That’s a paradigm shift right there.
