Yeah, unfortunately being a bit of a genetic freak is sort of a prerequisite, however actually developing and training the skills and conditioning needed to fully exploit your genetic potential is a very different story. There are way more 7 ft tall people not playing for the NBA than are.

GO WOKE OR GO BROKE

That peace dividend really coming back to bite us. (Plus GWOT completely screwing over and distorting long term funding priorities)

To the doubters I say: consciousness is merely a side effect of a 2 pound ball of fat in our skulls repeatedly shocking itself with electricity. What part of any of that would lead you to believe us to be rational and predictable creatures?

Everyone but Pete, Noem, Noem's boytoy, and Miller leave.

Also, for gender affirming surgeries providers are required to discuss with the patient the possibility regret or dissatisfaction with the surgeries. Something which, as you point out, rarely happens, but the adults getting these surgeries are still informed of that risk ahead of time.

"Move fast and break things" is exactly the right mindset to have while making SRMs!!

And 44 itself was not sustainable. Production was being wound down in early 45 & if Japan fought into 46 labor shortages would start becoming a serious issue, plus many factories were reaching the point of needing serious retooling/refurbishment to keep running.

Also, the Arsenal of Democracy did not spring up over night. Serious efforts at increasing production started in '39 and didnt really reach maturity for another 5 years in 44.

Trump is so bad at re-industrializing we can't even manufacture consent in the United States anymore

Nobody wants to be the next PEPCON

Yeah, the casus belli from the Trump administration seems to be "for the content" and well...we hung Nazis at Nuremberg for a hell of a lot less is all Im saying.

We dont know exactly how much thermal contrast they are using here, or what the heat signature off the aft of an Iranian frigate typically looks like, so I wouldnt definitively rule out thermal bloom for engine/mechanical, but its also entirely possible this is a follow up strike we're we're seeing.

I do not support the death penalty generally (I don't like the idea of the state having the power to murder citizens in cold blood), but traditionally the way states have ensured that executive officers actually consult who they are suppose to consult is by hanging or beheading a few that don't.

As Clausewitz wrote, the decisive factor in war is which military leader can bench press the most.

How I arrived on Bluesky

When the over the hill F/A-18C Hornet piloted by one of Kuwaits failson pilots sees its chance to go down as a legend.

Man, I can only hope that millenia after my death people are still talking about how much of a goddamn weirdo and a troll I was.

The lungs crave neutron absorbing cadmium.

Two posts above this. Fingers crossed🤞

And the things Wilson is most deserving of hate over: The virulent racism, lost-causism, and imperialistic chauvinism are all things basically every late 19th-early 20th century president was guilty of.

Rumor is that he wants to use this more vocally moderate turn as a way to seek the governorship in 2028, knowing that he will probably need that kind of reputation to beat Josh Stein. And I think it’s very important to not allow him to escape that this is his fault.

Yeah, I posted that and thought for sure this is how Ill find out something bad about him lol.
