@Keanu_Pitt @stevemorris__ I love the 50/50 in the replies of people who have and have not seen good will hunting

He gives off a first year grad student vibe. just got finished reading some Marxian historian, Pete Garrison probably, he’ll be convinced of that until next month when he gets to James Lemon, then he’ll be talking about how the economies of Virginia and Pennsylvania were entrepreneurial and capitalist way back in 1740. That's gonna last until next year, he’s gonna be in here regurgitating Gordon Wood, talkin’ about, you know, the Pre-revolutionary utopia and the capital-forming effects of military mobilization.

I've never quite seen anyone speak and move like this. Really not sure what to make of it

@sharghzadeh We do, it’s called Discord

I already did this discourse a year ago. White people don't understand the eight hour WhatsApp phone call, they never will.

@sentdefender I was scrolling too fast and thought that was Garand Thumb for a second

The United States and Israel are seeking to foment an armed uprising inside Iran using a Kurdish fighting force, which has been built up since the Twelve-Day War in 2025, according to ITV News. Sources claim that since last year, weapons have been smuggled into Western Iran to arm thousands of Kurdish volunteers. They are expected to begin a ground operation within days, with possible air cover by the U.S. and Israeli Air Force.

@adamscochran Ignoring standard practices and leaving allies in the dark is kinda the SOP for this admin.

The F-15 “friendly fire” claim is either *lie* or a US command failure. But something is OFF. After talking to experienced military sources, here’s how we KNOW the reporting is cover: * Kuwait uses three types of air defense system: >Patriot >Improved HAWK >SHORAD A SHORAD type air defense would not reliably take down an F-15. An improved HAWK *could* hit an F-15 BUT because a hawk requires constant radar illumination, the pilot would be alerted to the lock by radar detection, could deploy chaff, activate ECM, and take maneuvers against it. So a hawk striking 3 planes is deeply unlikely. The Patriot system can reliably strike targets like an F-15, and so we know it’s likely this was the system used. * Patriot systems rely on multiple ID types to engage a target: >Radar track behavior rules (it only shoots at things that act like a missile) >IFF signature (a broadcasted automatic signature between fighter craft and ground systems) >Link-16 (an integrated system for IDing friendlies in the air space, that is shared via integrated command) >Air tasking order data (the equivalent of an issued flight route) * F-15 broadcast an IFF that Patriot batteries can detect when the proper encryption key is shared with allies. * Kuwaiti Patriot batteries support Link-16 integration with US data when properly shared. * Our agreement with Kuwait to operate regionally requires sharing all Air Tasking Orders in their air space. * After a single friendly fire joint emergency command orders would need to be shared with Kuwait. In order for Kuwait to hit 3 F-15 with Patriot friendly fire in one night would require ALL of the following: * We didn’t share IFF encryption keys or ID data with them, or were not broadcasting IFF. * We did not share Link-16 data with them, or Link-16 broadcast capabilities were destroyed. * We did not share Air Tasking Orders with them. * We did not share emergency alerts with them after the first ejection took place. * The area was under extreme barrage of missiles FAR more than reported. * There was no AWACS data sharing, or no higher level C2 node integration, or these were damaged. So either: 1) We made an operational decision to ignore our standard practices and leave an ally in the dark, not share data and risk American lives OR 2) The Iranian attack was *far* more successful than the US let on, and damaged critical ID and comms infrastructure of US assets in Kuwait. Either way, we are not getting the real story from the US side here. People with contacts in Kuwait, or active command, should be asking serious questions about this blunder. As it likely points to a gaping hole in US defense that puts our service members at serious risk!

@zachtratar If that's common, my complaint obviously has no merit, but if it's exceptional (irrespective of the conditions themselves) it does open the government to liability, which is probably not good for something that can be turned off by a non-government organization.

@zachtratar My biases are so heavy against this admin, but I wonder if this type of T&C is common with other mil contractors. Don't want the government getting sued over some shit like "we sold you F-35s, but we said you couldn't kill civilians so now we're taking you to court for $1B"

Just a reminder, Anthropic's top rules against military usage are only: - Claude cannot be used to spy on citizens - Claude cannot be used to automate kill decisions So Hegseth thinks these rules are unacceptable...

@KIRNEILL I have like 8 discord instances running and only one was above "normal" so I guess I can't use that cop out

Discord is secretly running at Real Time priority on your PC. This causes frametime spikes in CS2, Valorant, and basically every competitive game. Fix: Task Manager → Details → Discord.exe → Set Priority → Normal One change. Instant smoother gameplay.

@JBDuryea @WhiteHouse Technically it’s a vocabulary error

@WhiteHouse The “experts” think this is a grammatical error. The experts are morons.

@hutchinson @mariopapc Natchez is great but ammoseek is an aggregator. just filter properly (brass case only, free shipping) and you can even filter to particular brands. I check it once a day when I need ammo until I find a good deal

@mariopapc Which vendor do you go through?

Question for my second amendment loving compatriots! How did you learn to control your trigger squeezes? Just doing a ton of dry fire exercises? I’m still pulling a bit to the left, but my aim is definitely way better after 5ish sessions at a firing range.

@hutchinson One of the best ways to do it is load (or have a friend load) a magazine with random alternating real rounds and snap caps. It force you to reckon with your preaction to the perceived recoil. Only a couple hundred bucks but the Mantis system works great too for dry and live fire

@Th3WatchFrogs @C4ve_M4n We must have exceptionally different standards or taste in music. Message/lyrics aside, the meter is so forced to the beat in parts it doesn’t feel like bro has any sense of flow at all, and I’ve seen swamps with less mud than that mix down.

mechanically speaking, the song is well produced, well layered, flows well, the video isn't obnoxious and the message is simple and non-threatening, basically it asserts supporting law enforcement is a good thing, wholesome. 7/10, taking off 3 points for the lyrics being kinda cheesy, but it goes hard so w/e lol

The future of the republican establishment is <90iq wiggers with face tattoos singing about how you should trust your government. Bleak.

@GimpNft @Osint613 seriously... I swear half the time this stuff is just dudes who have a self-image problem or need some therapy. Instead: balloon arms

@LoopyLemonMusic @Osint613 I know right he literally looks like a bad photoshop job

Footage of an Egyptian bodyguard alongside businessman Sabri Nakhnoukh has gone viral, sparking reactions online over his unusually enormous muscles.

@GimpNft @Osint613 Synthol, which belongs to a general group of "site enhancement oil" Doesn't make you stronger, just inflates the area

@Osint613 What’s that oil they use? Not even juice does that. 🙃🤓

@WilliamOHa10947 @MR0808 @LincolnSquareHQ They can't say it to his face, because then they'll be in his sights for the next ridiculous policy. Trump has the thinnest skin of anyone when it comes to personal sleights, so if you stand up to him, he attacks you. If he weren't the president, everyone would laugh at him.

The leaders of Albania & Azerbaijan were caught on video mocking Trump and laughing at him for claiming to end a war between the two countries--a war that never happened. #WEF #Davos

@nocontextmemes tried to find the post to see if there was a link to the audio of this heinous sound, but alas, censored again

@thematthew @deadphish_ @EdKrassen Effectively, the biggest issue at now is just different flavors of the Trump admin & Trump himself thinking they can do whatever they want with impunity, even if it's illegal or on shaky legal ground. That was less common in the Obama era even though breaches likely did happen.

@thematthew @deadphish_ @EdKrassen case in particular was ultimately dismissed, at least there was a sense that you could sue. Meanwhile, under Trump, Kilmar Abrego Garcia was ordered to be brought back from CECOT by SCOTUS and it took nearly 2 months to do so. Then he was criminally charged in the US>

BREAKING: A leaked memo shows ICE agents have been authorized by the Trump administration to illegally force entry into homes throughout America without a Judicial Warrant! Not only is this illegal, but it also is a violation of the US Constitution, undermining the 4th Amendment protections. Below you see the leaked ICE memo, as well as the whistleblower report that was leaked by a member of Congress. Imagine if Biden did this, how outraged Republicans would be. Don't tread on me!

@ekp5116 @SenhorLinguica youtube.com/watch?v=8DnoOO… Gotta share the video. In a mere 600 years you could complete the game playing exclusively on E. Coli cells

@SenhorLinguica Já falei e repito. Nada me surpreende mais desde que rodaram doom em bactérias. Nada. Não tem como superar.
