Yes actually I think it’s totally reasonable to spend $4-$7 on lobster per person per month.

There’s just no number in the DoD’s budget you can look at and have it make sense without keeping in mind the enormous scale of the organization.

You can’t see the socks under the Starfleet uniform so yes.

Liberty save me.

Ironically some of those could actually have been learned from Paradox games

The metropole quit metropoling.

Just ending PEPFAR alone is going to directly cause Holocaust-levels of death, only in slow motion.

“This battlestation is now the ultimate power in the universe” etc.

Sir, your microphone.

I recommend posting through it

Yeah that’s what I meant. I don’t know if even an aggressive war crimes prosecution would or could convict on the basis of “a belligerent jackass said something he doesn’t understand at a press conference”

Only Jean-Luc Picard should look that good sitting cross legged in a uniform.

I think it’s impossible to read this in a “war crimes context”, that is, as a literal instruction not to accept the potential surrender of any Iranian forces.

As dangerous and reckless a thing as it is to say, he obviously doesn’t mean it—he’d obviously accept the surrender of any Iranian forces.

Ohh legislation! That will shut him right down I bet

I’m sure it’s something even stupider like, the time of the strike needs to be 11:53 instead of 11:52 for my odd numbers parlay to pay off

lol they think she’s actually dating Bryce Tetraeder.

Was going to point out that there was a similar event in the (1917) Russian Revolution, but then I fact checked myself and learned that International Women’s Day is actually directly commemorating that event.

The a-10 is probably canonically still in service in 40K, like the M1911 and the browning M2

and smelly

Don’t need 4 stars even. Anyone who can get a few dozen loyal men (maybe as few as a dozen, even) to walk into the Oval Office and say “sir, we need you to come with us right now”.

Lady Jessica

Many will say to me, “Lord, Lord”…

I think 3Qing has led to not just illiteracy as such but also “speaking your native language like a second language”, a context in which I assume an LLM is in fact mind blowing.

We really do underestimate how much adult illiteracy is out there, mostly caused by educational “innovations” (like 3Qing) that amount to equating “fooling the standardized test into thinking you can read” with “literacy”
