@PrishaMosley @free_equal This is why the UN is becoming more and more irrelevant.

@free_equal There's nothing natural about preventing children from going through puberty or cutting girls breastfeeding off.

Being #trans is a natural part of human diversity and should be celebrated! 🏳️‍⚧️ #transdepath #transgender #standup4humanrights

@wil_da_beast630 Just got mine today

Well damn. Book got an unexpected shout-out. Thanks, big bro.

@Fat_Electrician @The_King_Trout Like some Americans (including I think many of our founding fathers) I treat our government as a necessary evil. Today many of our politicians view it as either a piggy bank for them to rob or a way to lord it over their fellow Americans.

@The_King_Trout How dare u assume i hate our government as much as a foreigner. I hate it way more.

Non-Americans will never understand that Americans hate our government just as much as they do, but we love our country more than they can ever comprehend.

@hanaamurakami NO!

@Neccccy Yes

Do you think the police were right to do this to a terrorist with a knife who had just stabbed 2 people? Yes or No?

@kangminlee @thechromeqt Lol

@thechromeqt So true queen. Excluding men from women's esports tournaments is misandry and disgusting. Thanks for being such an ally for men's rights! We need more women to advocate for men in women's spaces!

“Biological Girls Only” in a VALORANT tournament… The whole reason I love competing in esports rather than actual sports is because there is no biological advantage/disadvantage to playing video games. So I don’t understand the reasoning behind excluding trans women in this.

@Hebozo1746 Japan and the USA aren’t really so different when it comes to family. Except for Leftists, they seem to hate traditional families

難癖をつけられ、海外で炎上中のカプコン「プラグマタ」 やれ、「独身男性でこのゲームを褒めてる連中は性犯罪者である」とか、米国リベラルインフルエンサーのハッサンパイクや、右派のメリーモーガンは言いたい放題である。 連中は忘れているんだろう。「おまえたちも昔は子どもだったんだろう？お父さんの絵を描いて笑ったことはあるんだろ？」もしそうでなくても、「俺の親父がこうやって助けてくれたらしい？」と思ったことはあっただろ？ 添付のポストは長年ゲームから離れていた55歳の父親が娘さんに勧められてプレイをして、当時8歳で亡くなった別の娘さんを思い出し、心の平穏を取り戻しそうだという話しである。 心の捻じ曲がったアメリカのwoke活動家には、所詮理解できない感覚だろう。 @CiderHype #Pragmata #プラグマタ　#カプコン

@SandyofCthulhu @Strangeland_Elf Come on Mickey D’s has great french fries and if you have a tongue made of asbestos the apple pie is good. Now N-Out Burger actually makes great burgers and its fast food. I would say our higher end quinine is some of the best in the world.

@Strangeland_Elf Well stated. The fact that there is so much bad British cuisine doesn't erase the fact that there is still good stuff available. Mocking Americans for fast food is sterile, because we Americans know it's bad too - we go to Mickey D's for speed and cleanliness, not flavor.

Look. No one likes to have people make rude and ignorant or misinformed claims about their country, especially in order to mock and deride them. Europe puts a bigger emphasis on normal bread than the US so they put more focus on the craft of artisan bread making and need to have it more readily available since more people care a great deal about bread. But there are supermarket bakeries and standalone bakeries all over the United States that make very good bread. So yes, it’s frustrating because both rude and inaccurate. I also think it’s rude and inaccurate when people mock British food as all disgusting when much of it is very good, we just tend to see and focus on the most absurd of it. And even much of that probably doesn’t taste BAD even if it’s weird looking. But the United States tends to focus on other baked goods besides bread because the US is a land of excess so plain bread is going to take a backseat to things that are full of butter or something. Americans will often make cornbread or southern style biscuits as a side rather than buy traditional bread or have some potato dish with lots of butter and/or cheese. Americans don’t need bakery bread in the quantities of Europe because many of them just treat bread as a vessel to hold “all the good stuff” and not as something to be enjoyed for its own sake. But there are Americans who love bread and so good bread does exist. There is also a level of subjectivity to “good bread” to begin with. American flour often makes softer bread and some people like that, a lot of the European bread is more hearty or rustic and some people like that. I grew up in a country where… I don’t really think there were many options for good bread at all. Compared to that the United States seems to have drastically more options and so many things are also a matter of perspective. I’m not offended because I’m just a “weak American who can’t handle people saying their thing is better than ours”, I’m offended because I don’t like the behaviour in general. I hate it when Americans ignorantly act like everything in every other culture is inferior and I hate when people do the same thing to Americans. I just hate when people treat each other that way.

@USN_Submariner The shame is poor planning and execution by NAVSEA and senior uniformed leadership meant the Columbia’s were so delayed that we had to pay for refueling some Ohio’s

Columbia-class are receiving "life-of-ship" reactors (no refueling) and expected to serve ~42 years. That means that some of the Ohio-class boats are likely to retain their title as the longest-serving submarines in US Navy history for some time.

@Miss_Snuffy Just go back to blue book tests

You hear this and students will rightly conclude that they would be better off using AI for their university essays. End of education! 😳

@RealAirPower1 Put a modern computer sight on it and you’re absolutely correct

CENTCOM is pushing for Dark Eagle hypersonic missiles, but you know what I think: they should go full retro tactical and bring back the M45 quad mount for drone defense. Honestly, if ever there was a weapon whose time has come (again), this is it. So, call the museums, CENTCOM!

@johnkonrad If it’s Lexington, its probably No Kings, they grow like weeds around here.

Ok, I’ll bite. Why are all the old people in my town protesting Trump this time?

@JHartley2 @cremieuxrecueil My father was a 30 year Marine officer. He had 4 different degrees including a Master’s in international relations. He wrote a Phd thesis but lost interest. I’ve been around a lot of Marines, enlisted and officer. Never find a better or more effective group of people.

@cremieuxrecueil Just the Marine Corps... Weird that the ones brutalized for being nothing but dumb grunts who are only good at killing are somehow the ones who pass audits too.

Don't cheat! Which part of the U.S. military actually passes its budget audits?

@newstart_2024 I worked developing medications for rare diseases. We had to follow the Helsinki Declaration & the FDA & other agencies rules on testing unproven treatments. These butchers totally ignore it. I’d be in jail if I did that. Doctors often confuse themselves with God.

Helen Andrews just went there: We’ve handed far too much authority on gender and human nature to psychologists and academics — the same experts who spent decades claiming gender was purely socialization and that giving girls trucks would erase all stereotypes. Now they act shocked when common sense (and parents with actual sons and daughters) turns out to be right. When institutions prioritize academic credentials over lived reality and hard truths, we get policy and culture that don’t match how humans actually work. This hit hard. I’ve watched “experts” be confidently wrong about basic male/female differences for years, yet they’re still treated as the final authority. Sometimes real-world experience beats another study. Do you think we’ve given too much power to academics on gender issues?

@BillboardChris @0xmitsurii In fairness, not always. I have a son with Asperger syndrome, cognitive behavioral therapy was a god send. Also, therapy for PTSD can also help. I do agree though that they are all to happy to prescribe drugs.

@0xmitsurii They don’t cure. They drug.

Psychiatrists when asked how many patients have they cured.

@mercoglianos I wonder if high op tempo, combined with the lack of drilling and shore training is making our damage control skills atrophy?

We are seeing a lot of fires on board US Navy ships. Besides, USS Ford, we have also seen fires on Eisenhower, New Orleans and Zumwalt. Now reports that Higgins has a main space fire that knocked out propulsion and power. The fire on Bonhomme Richard in 2020 led to the scrapping of that ship. Fire is an ever present danger on ships, but the Navy needs to examine if there is an uptick in these events.

@ConceptualJames I think you are being way too pessimistic. Yes we have loonies on the right, but I still am optimistic. I think conservatives will keep the House and maybe even the Senate if the left stays its course.

After Charlie's murder, I'm pretty certain there was as real chance for a real revival to take Western nations, for good (probably) or for ill (probably not). The Woke Right killed it, though, through a variety of means. It's really messed up the more you think about it.

@Ryo_Saeba_3 That is wild, we don’t have too many traditions this old in the US but you might like coming to Lexington MA during Patriot‘s day. Lots of reenactments

Au Japon, lors de la fête triennale Amamiya no Goshinji à Chikuma (Nagano), 4 "lions" sont suspendus tête en bas depuis un pont pour fouetter l’eau de la rivière et chasser les mauvais esprits. C'est une tradition vieille de plus de 500 ans #Japon

@chageimgur Counter points: 1. Fin stabilizers are very acoustically noisy, not good if you’re hunting subs 2. We seem to be operating well with only one, not sure why that is a big compromise 3. Embarked boats are nice but not really mission critical.

バーク級の妥協ポイント 1. フィンスタビライザー？そんなものないよ 2. 錨を幾つも積んでられないから主錨は1つだけです（この規模なら普通2つ） 3. 搭載艇の運用設備に回す重量ないよ！軽いRHIBにした上で右舷だけに集約して軽量化！ 4. 発電機が収まらなくて排気口がヘリ甲板直前に追い出されました
