Everything about that fucking family and this regime is tacky

Glad I pulled them down already

OOTL: what did Aldi do for deserving a boycott?

Nice play with the capitulation on the shutdown in return for “we pinky promise we’ll let you call a vote for the thing you want but no bet on actually passing it lol”. A real political masterstroke, that.

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

 

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.
