Patriot isn’t limited to missile interception.

Apple hit a sweet spot with this. x86_64 applications run at acceptable speed (making the transition easy for people who buy the hardware) while not being SO good that there’s zero reason for developers to start porting their software.

Centralized communities all turn into what Twitter and Reddit became eventually. They benefits for the owners (money, control) are too great to ignore forever once you’re big enough. Decentralized communities have more resilience, provided no individual server gets too big.

lmao okay dude. That’s a lot of projection.

It may surprise you to know that in a thread where I advocate for the US giving Ukraine cluster munitions, that I don’t care that Ukraine has been using cluster munitions.

As stated by another, your Pentagon source is out of date. It’s pretty funny though that you reject HRW saying Russia is using them, but use HRW as your source that Ukraine is.

WRT chemical weapons: different things are different. When you can contain things in an AOR, I’m less concerned about the lingering effects. Areas can be closed off and cleared, especially when you’re the one that dropped them. That’s way less possible with chemical weapons, that will literally drift with the wind.

2. Chemical weapons: no, due to their effects easily leaving the AOR. Petal mines: yes. Crimea and the Donbas are occupied Ukrainian territory.

Truth hurts.

1. Russia is already using them

2. I’ll defer to the defenders WRT what weapons they need.

Buddy, lots of us had outrage when the US invaded Iraq. You just can’t handle when the conversation shifts from it for 5 minutes because an even worse thing is happening.

Yep, and that’s a good thing.

“But Iraq!” is literally all these people have. As if two things can’t be bad at the same time.

apt dist-upgrade will sometimes resolve this.

Yes, but it’s a bit weird and the interface isn’t designed for it. I keep them separate, but I could see it being useful in a pinch.

God forbid you try to look good for your wife 🤷

IINA is like VLC but with a nicer interface.

brew is a CLI package manager.

OpenEmu is a great console emulation platform (like retroarch, but with a way better interface that’s designed for a desktop instead of a TV).

Point at where I said genocide. I didn’t use that word here because I know it’s contested in this case and I know it has a definition that I’m not interested in degrading. You said that word.

Regardless, this has nothing to do with my point. My point is that if a country is doing $thing, pointing at $otherthing means nothing. You’re deflecting.

Do US people deflect by pointing at China? Yep. Our guys totally deflect when they want to distract from shit. But this post brought it up, so own it.

Dunno what to tell ya bruh 🤷 I was in high school civics telling them it was fuckin dumb and on Warcraft 3 forums doing the same. The fact that it was so stupid and the republicans disavowed it make everyone pretend they were always against it.

Now what’s your stance on PRC authoritarianism against ethnic and religious minorities?

This is still “butt butt-“

No. The sins of another country do not make another’s okay. You call it out. We call out the US all the time, and it deserves it. And so does China.

Germany owned their shit.

Arguing against that stupid invasion. Fucking obviously. What are you doing other than making excuses?
