masterful gambit

I just steal the right winger tactic of calling them a CIA fed and then making the better argument for them while ignoring their quote tweets/response. it works surprisingly well

oh and subwoofers can anywhere, since they're mono-directional, so wherever you feel it works is good

the optimal position is what sounds good to you personally and what doesnt have phasing (when sounds distort or cancel out because they overlap the wrong way). there isn't a perfect way outside an anechoic chamber to know the exact spot, so playing around is key

heres some stuff that can help. when you want to reposition use some channel or a non-perm marker to note down where it was before so you can test diff positions. go with what sounds good to you

oh delightful choices. and I think we have the same tism since I instantly thought of the swan m300s when you mentioned those lol

you’ve been found guilty of lacking whimsy, player. you’re going to the funny farm

I love monoprice! them and KEF are what I recommend for new audiophiles

oh based what speakers are those?

i think if you have a juicy enough tale therapists should give you the session for free because let's be real they love that shit and ought to be paying you for the experience

"I don't care about brown ppl getting killed and tortured en-masse because *waves hands*"

god leftism is in a sorry af state. this is a sub-neocon tier argument

what would you have suggested kuwait do?

I've always found it so hard to read too. I think ppl are defending it just to be contrarian since the internet/reddit (correctly) doesn't like it

A friend showed me this in text, so I turned it into an actual video

dog look at my leftists we're never going to defeat fascism

are...you denying that Iraq mass murdered people?

idk man Iraq torturing and imprisoning tens of thousands of people for no reason other than oil sounds bad. I guess kuwait was asking for it though

I mean, no? the coalition stomped the military incredibly quickly and with one of the lowest civilian casualty rates ever. there's a reason it's taught at military academies as the optimal modern war

its a shame we have no other documentation or testimony

"Every military action is a warcrime"

god the discourse is cooked

holy shit geography is hard

bsky.app/profile/like...

they got a massive ally for free in an important region? of course they benefited from it

aside from whatever gibberish that was, what would be your suggestion to kuwait?

are you referring to kuwait? since that's what iraq was attempting to do and what the coalition didn't do after they won

the dude was a monster but also lucked into being right on this (which doesn't justify the rest of what he did). what would you suggest happen to kuwait?

also I'm a leftist not a liberal. a liberal would have just sent a mean letter to Saddam in the hopes he felt bad enough to change his mind

Gulf War - Wikipedia

look I know both are sandy countries and geography is hard for americans, but these are different conflicts with different priors in different areas

going "america bad" for both will make you look dumb outside of bluesky

You know the reason that Iraq invaded Kuwait was because they wanted their oil, right? like no other reason just pure america style "we want your oil" shit

I think that countries teaming up together to stop imperialist expansion is good regardless of what the individual reasons are. I think it was good when we suplexed iraq for trying to invade kuwait, currently suplexing russia for invading ukraine and i wish we did this against israel and the UAE

you're again mixing up the 90s war with the war on Iraq (which wasn't justified). here was the Amnesty report from when Iraq occupied Kuwait. ask yourself, if the US did this would it be justified to have external forces kick them out?

I think being under indiscriminate bombardment by the 4th biggest military at the time did slightly predisposed the population to external military aid. and you're mixing up two different conflicts in iraq
