Moths have always been crazy! They’ll fly into a frickin fire!

But it’s not that kind of lamp?!

Quit yer babblin!

I just wanna be called “sir” without it being followed by “you’re making a scene.”

Feels like news headlines are just competing for maximum cognitive dissonance. I guess that’s how you make a profit these days.

It seems like its easier and more straightforward, and profitable, for the state to just take pay to heed the interests of private industry, as opposed to the complex nature of properly managing and answering to the citizenry as a whole, or even feigning interest in their well-being.

Though it does feel like the founders did get those checks and balances in there (or was that later?) or we’d be more fucked than we already are. And our form of representative republic hasn’t always been beyond salvaging. But since the last corporate buyout and with the propaganda proliferated by the internet I feel hard-pressed to challenge it. What will get us out of this one? Education was always key, and the aristocracy was always going to fuck us on that one.

Its forbes. A rag I wouldn’t wipe my ass with it.

For more reasons than supporting Ukraine, even, divest from multi-nationals and their subsidiaries, wherever possible. Look up Nestle-owned companies on wikipedia, while you can. Read the back of the label when you shop. Every effort counts.

I understood that reference!

Additionally, F-16s are good 4th gen fighters, and can still launch standoff weapons with proper setup. Russia really only has 4th gen fighters anyways. Maintaining them is dependent on availability of parts and mechanical skill, which I cannot speak to, but hope it’s included somewhere in the aid packages. They are by no means discards. Speaking from my armchair milsim experience (Arma 3 lol) they are still quite advanced with a substantial weapons loadout capability. And I imagine US aircraft carriers still keep some fa/18s and f16s onboard.

Thank you Stannis.

Thousands of ruined and lost lives due to what amounts to insurance and medical fraud is offensive.

One might also want to consider the possibility that this is not the shooter or he is a patsy. Not that you shouldn’t support them in any of these cases. Just be aware as this [word like shitshow but that doesn’t do it justice] develops.

It’s maddening!

I wouldn’t be against a site wide ban on the word ‘slam.’

That is… unadulterated plain and simple clear as day election interference. If I didn’t know better I’d say our whole system is in collapse.

Weird. Sounds like Breitbarts source on Nicaraguan prisoners being trafficked across the border. If a man spreads lies and disappears, was there ever a lie at all? /s

I’m gonna agree with varik here. I’ve noticed a deliberate contingent of “pro-Palestinian” who are clearly siphoning votes from Harris. They seem to be targeting naive leftists and Midwest Muslims, and they always intentionally obfuscate just how much more brutal and awful Trump would be.

While I certainly subscribe to Hanlon’s Razor, there’s definitely indications that some people think that causing additional suffering before death is wholly righteous. As though said inflicted suffering serves any real purpose beyond their fantasy. Very primitive, yet very human.
