Maybe don't base your world view on some random person's protest sign.

If they build it, they have to be ready to use it. And they'd have to use it pretty close to home. Against an adversary with equal capabilities.

Either it would have no effect at all on the conflict, or it would result in annihilation. Doesn't really seem worth it.

Though maybe to play devils advocate, creating a DMZ wasteland with tactical nukes might not be the worst outcome. Pretty terrible thought though.

Apparently if you move to a swing state first, you become a swing-state voter forever. That’s more valuable than even a Montana residency.

What makes a Montana residency valuable?

People had no idea how good we had it. Guess we all have to learn the hard lessons again.

Looks like AI nonsense. The more I look at details, the less it makes sense.

Do they think Russia doesn't have their own imaging satellites?

I don't think people in the 80s and 90s meant anything else. It's not like AI was really on the horizon. Educational interactive CD-ROMs were where everyone's head was at in the 90s.

I learned almost everything I know of value from a computer.

The US Space Force, which monitors more than 46,000 objects in orbit, has about 10,000 personnel but is the smallest department of the US military. Its officers are known as “guardians.”

Think they win the most cringe service award.

“All it takes is one weapon tower being toppled with the stated reason spoken boldly.”

Saying things with gravitas should do the trick.

 

Every time I load a post it scrolls me past the post body. Any way to turn that off? I wasn't able to notice any relevant settings.

I'm seeing it on the darkly theme, but it looks like it's is a lemmy-ui native theme. So maybe this happens across other default themes as well.

 

A nationwide blackout. A broken economy. A widely contested presidential election. A populace terrified of its autocratic leader and his increasingly violent security forces.

What’s a president to do?

Declare the early arrival of Christmas, of course.

Facing widespread domestic and international criticism over his claim that he won a July presidential vote, President Nicolás Maduro of Venezuela is trying to turn the nation’s attention toward the one thing almost every Venezuelan loves: Christmas.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the independent presidential candidate, confessed on Sunday that he had left a dead bear cub in Central Park in Manhattan in 2014 because he thought it would be “amusing.”

Mr. Kennedy posted a video detailing the bizarre story on social media apparently ahead of an article in The New Yorker.

 

Boar’s Head Provisions Co. recalled liverwurst because it may be tainted with the listeria bacteria, the U.S. Agriculture Department said. The agency said a sample of Boar’s Head liverwurst from a Maryland store tested positive for listeria.

The company is also recalling deli-sliced meats made the same day on the same line as the contaminated liverwurst at a Virginia plant, the USDA said. The sample was from an unopened package, collected by health officials as part of an investigation into the listeria outbreak.

 

Desert Strike was probably one of the most influential games of my childhood. This game seems to be looking to scratch that itch.
