This. There is no authority above the authoritarian. His word is law now. Whatever Our Glorious Cheeto wishes is now US doctrine.

It’s cope. It means nothing. Speculating on the effectiveness of warfighting technology before a peer engagement is just flag-waving. A stealthed craft deploying guided munitions at half a mile is a lot less likely to be countered when compared to a medium-range ballistic missile from 30mi out, for example, despite the risk of a manned craft behind enemy territory. On a cost analysis, we can’t speculate on profitability until we know just how many of those munitions will be screened during an engagement. You fire 100 $5k rockets vs. 2 $250k cruise missile, the benefit only comes from the amount of bang that reaches the target.

I like your worldview.

I’ve been having a surge of anxiety and anger about this election. I really hope I can see things your way… Right now, it doesn’t feel that peace is an option. It doesn’t seem like we’ll get the choice.

Just to be clear, it’s the media’s fault I’ve had back-to-back panic attacks about whether or not I’ll have rights in 3mo? Sick…

There also aren’t a lot of totalitarian governments that cease their tyranny because the opposing populace hold peaceful protest. Eventually, prospects will become better only when the institution burns.

That said, I don’t relish the thought of tearing down an institution that people rely on for personal stability and safety, but if the system’s malicious actions outweigh the good that said system does passively, then the only option, the last option, is violence.

No, because some States have entrenched parties that wish to stay entenched. And since we’re 50 countries in a trench coat, nothing will change about that soon unless you live there and enjoy making gasoline cocktails.

Oops! You missed the disclaimer: *of all participants polled, including only individuals who opted in to the poll, on this specific website or streetside polling campus, during these specific hours in the day.

Edit: Apologies if any of this was misleading. I only meant to point out that polls often have hidden implicit biases due to the nature of their process.

You claim to be looking for a good faith argument but you’ll only respond to the poster being hostile to you. The cognitive dissonance is about expected, but no one is stopping you from claiming this hill of assumptions as your moral highground.

Lmao. Ok buddy. Sure, you’re a leftist. Yup.

Do all you 'publicans share the same braincell, or do you just collectively turn them all off until a Fox anchor starts talking?

Oh my god I looked more closely. I think that’s acrylic resin. Ew.

I see no before picture so I assume the marble flooring and countertops. Plus the mosaic backsplash tiling maybe? And it’s entirely possible those are brand new cupboards.

This has been happening for 2 years now. We get a new incident almost monthly, and 10x as many failed attempts.

It’s also worth noting that they’re not like… Just trying to kill each other. They’re putting on a show. Sure he could probably just impale his opponent, but this was less deathmatch and more WWE. They had sponsors, insurance, and lived long lives under the less bloodthirsty emperors, becoming celebrities throughout the empire.

Leverage vs. reach. It is easier to control your opponents weapon if you manipulate the leaver point thats farthest away from the wrist. Given that he’s facing a gladus and buckler (equivailant to a sidearm when compared to a lance or javelin), he does not need to worry about reach, and given that he can’t two-hand the weapon without disusing the net, his best option is to give his opponent a shorter fulcrum while still retaining enough length to control the distance.

opens task manager Ah… Looks like the restart didn’t take. Let’s try another one, just to be sure…

Doesn’t have to be. It’s the best insult to anyone parroting nonsense. You’re basically an AI to us. Ignorable.

Almost like she wasn’t able to speak for the Harris administration that did not exist. She was beholden to Biden and can now make her own path. Oh, and people can change, besides. Try it.
