And talk radio. My then-stepdad listened to Rush Limbaugh, and goddamn. My stepgrandmother, his mom, tried to sit me down and talk about the dangers of 'those yellow people.'

So, are you familiar with whataboutism? A popular Soviet approach to critiques. Really fascinating stuff!

Also, Israel obviously needs to stop all the shit it's up to.

ALSO, Russia's a violent authoritarian, imperialist state that needs to be stopped here, now, before it goes on to the next war it'll start.

Some friends living in Germany just had their first child-- hospital stay? €10 a night. They're not citizens yet, I think-- it's just that health care is subsidized as a public good.

I mean, maybe we can somehow get someone *else* to buy SpaceX? Because it's pretty cool.

Elon sucks, though, so down with him falling into a ditch, etc., etc.

Check out the PerunAU video on Russian losses updated to 2024. It includes rough analysis of old Soviet arms storage depots. Answer is, "Yeah, even Russia's running low on shit."

A name like that totally isn't an influencebot. Noooope.

Not as many as we'd want, and the folks with short attention spans think that with a different president it'd be sunshine and strawberries right now -- not realizing Trump'd somehow make it even worse.

Sclerotic Democratic machine not actually addressing peoples needs and concerns, because none of the people wanting a 2028 presidential bid want to be cut out from the party infrastructure?

Gaetz, noted sex trafficker, has already said she's demonstrated that she'd make a good supreme court justice.

The challenge is when the kinky paramour wants you to be a kink dispenser.

It's-- fun until then?

The lack of eye protection terrifies me.

So, played MechTau in WH40K, and UCM in Dropzone Commander...? Basically was required to say this each game. I regretted nothing.

Fish? Boring. Passe. One (meal) and done.

Gladius? Fearsome. Inspiring. Can provide a lifetime of experience-and-or-stabbing.

I'd date the gladius.

Honestly, at this point the Democrats, once you include the middling centrist types, are actually pretty much the center. The Republican party is now dominated by the MTG types.

That's the thing -- they're not producing that many. They're refurbing old Soviet kit. The loss rate's brutal for them.

It's not even the plants. The numbers include what they're breaking out of the old Soviet depots-- but those depots aren't limitless, and increasingly are older kit that just can't stand up to the fight. Considering two Bradleys shitcanned a T-90, imagine what they'd do to a T-54.

That's some supreme bullshit. I did a murder mystery party with some friends, hosting six folk, and we did a five-course dinner and provided lots of booze. This? This sounds... half-baked.

An ex recently started dating a cop. I was, like, "You, uh, do know the statistics, right?" "He's different!"

I noped out and wished her good luck.
