Bane, Yes, Thats my name, When you here the name Bane I guarantee you the pain!

But like...why? We are somewhat effectively winning, at least from a purely military capabilites perspective, and its not like the military needs more bodies. The draft is for situations when the military at its current capacity cant support an operation, but the military is no where near that requirement for additional manpower. Its not like a draft is gonna magic up more interceptors or open the strait.

The fun thing about gas masks is they limit periphial vision.

I have an app on my phone that displays the current location of objects in the night sky, but it can also display future locations. Id imagine this would be one method to get close

Having lived here for 5 years and about to leave, ive enjoyed it more than I thought i would. There are bad parts to it, like the massive amounts of tourists, the excess, etc. But there are some amazing and awesome things. The shows are incredible, so many concert options, there are some great resturaunts, variety of sports options. Outside the strip is great too. Its close to a bunch of national parks and the nearby state parks are fantastic. Gambling can be fun too if you limit yourself.

The military is just a cross section of the US populace. And from my experience politcal opinions fall pretty similar to the rest of the US. The lower enlisted generally lean more conservative, being lower educated and often from poor economic backgrounds, while the officers generally lean more liberal, having a higher education requirement and coming from a better economic background.

Actually, the verbiage states no person shall be deprived of life liberty or the pursuit of happiness without due process of the law. It explicity says person and not citizen. Elsewhere in the document it uses the word citizen, so its not simply an implivation that the word person = citizen.

I get the point, its why we need more than 2 parties really. But on a national scale i dont think it works. Progressives dont appeal to a lot of independent voters and those near the middle of the political spectrum, a lot of them also dont have the national level visibility. Also Bernie got those votes following Obamas administration, but things have shifted dramatically since then. Kamala didnt win because people protest abstained and now we have are on the verge of a dictatorship

He sucks, but hes a populist figure and the presidential elections are popularity contests. If Newsom is the one who can get republicans out of the white house thats what we have to hitch to. Ideally we continue to push more progressive senators and congressmen who can slowly drive the train in the right direction, but theres no way we swing from a trump presidency to anyone who isnt basically a centrist, or in this case slightly right of center. It sucks.

Heres how the math works in my brain for no reason. 16-10 = 6. 10-9 = 1. 1+6 = 7. I basically do most mental addition and subtraction this way.

Do death rates still match pandemic levels? I know its still pretty dominant, but arent current strains less deadly? Im in no way an expert, but dont viruses tend to evolve to be less deadly due to host death preventing spread.

I did this to someone who was more ignorant that necessarily outright transphobic. He basically said im not gonna start using peoples preferred pronouns, so i asked him if he was okay with me calling him "she/her/miss/ma'am." It was the first time it actually clicked for him i think.

Yeah i had to look it up and its not as alarming as the clickbait title makes it out to be. Still an unnecessary rollback and harmful, but not the same as a full repeal on all asbestos bans.

Ill leave you with this, a fragile complex system required to support a self sustaining martian colony is not a good backup plan for our species. Ultimately safeguarding our population on Earth is much more manageable, even through major global catastrophes, because it would take something colossal to render Earth permanently uninhabitable.
