Snakes in weird places

@sunflowersoul88 @Maks_NAFO_FELLA Whatever you think of American power, keeping it passively adversarial instead of actively adversarial is probably very important to Ukraine’s survival. Outside of an election, there is almost nothing that would remove maga from power. So keeping your head down is the move.

@Numinar @Maks_NAFO_FELLA 😕 I agree that was the scenario or perception until the last fifteen days. And then there was history made. Now no sane mind would view the US as "insane power and influence" thanks to that 🍊🐒. My reply is not related to my previous question though. Just replying to you.

❗️🇺🇸 Budanov explained the plan Trump is following: "His actions are as consistent as possible. Six months before his term, a program document was developed for him - it has 838 pages. And everything he does was clearly described, calculated and explained - for what and why."

@stonedelta1966 @Timcast Assange is a Russian asset.

You are a little bald C*nt. You don't even make sense. The Liberals had Epstein in their corner and for 10 years, they could not find one fucking thing against Trump. Even Assange, the guy that could find dirt on anyone by hacking systems and having hackers send him evidence, said that he looked into Trump and there was nothing at all that can be used against him.

DUDE what if it turns out it was TRUMP the whole time with Epstein and Democrats had NOTHING to do with it

@EdKrassen Knowledge Fight is about to be so fucking lit.

WOW! President Trump just completely turned on Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, Alex Jones and Megyn Kelly. This is probably his biggest mistake he's ever made. So much of the MAGA base looks up to these people, and this is going to get them questioning their loyalty to Trump. If Trump can turn on these people simply because they disagree with him, he can turn on anyone. TRUMP IS DONE! He knows it!

@Timcast Oh man… still laughing… is tim mad because he didn’t get a mention? Oh boy what a joke. You fuckers got him elected. You were told who he was and you still fell for it! Brainwashed, special ed morons willing to do demagoguery for the heritage foundation as part of a pedo cult.

THAT DOES IT I AM DONE THIS WAS THE LAST STRAW I'M SO ANGRY

@Timcast Hahahaha oh god, the face eating leapord is getting his fill!

@Rob_Ruadh2 If it was a legitimate elimination then he can defer it in court. Killing detainees is way out of line and you know it.

The SAS exists to eliminate threats. This includes one-legged goat herding Taliban informers. The actions of BRS where not unique in Afghanistan, or unwarranted. He has been targeted as a sacrifice to the gay leftard elites to appease their Islamist bosses.

@Batman2242 How cooked do you have to be to think this is a labour plot, absolute psychopath shit. What are you going to do, go all desi freeman on us? You paranoid, moronic cunt.

Albanese, if arresting Ben Robert’s Smith is meant to intimidate us, you have got it so very very wrong. We have grown stronger in the last few days. You weak prick.

@TheIshikawaRin Rescue mission objective!

I also managed to land on Minmus for the first time in KSP but then forgot more monopropellant for the lander so now I'm just kinda stuck.

@TheIshikawaRin Yes! So good! Keep at it soon you’ll be rocking the YGHJKL keys like a pro! The way my mind flipped when I finally cracked orbital rendezvous. The more you do the more you can start kind of eyeballing it from the map screen, and using tiny mini burns to coast in at 3-5m/s

I just completed my first ever in-orbit docking in Kerbal Space Program

@DrewPavlou I’m glad your one variation from heritage foundation funded ideology is that you are crystal clear on the moral right for Ukraine to defend itself. Gives me hope you might recognise other areas in which this movement wishes to bring destruction to democracy.

Zelensky never tried to attack Orban’s residence. This is completely made up.

@CrownMaybe What the fuck. It had one job to do and didn’t well. Is it because it can’t run full page adds between chapters or track your eyes or something?

Stupidly and naively, it didn't occur to me that Amazon would force-retire my Kindle Fire 7 that my wife gave me for an anniversary well over a decade ago, one of my most treasured possessions. It wasn't hurting anyone. It just sat there and worked every time I asked.

@Shelifon The heritage foundation captured yanks will try and force you to cease fire the moment you have the Russians collapsing. Slowly slowly so they don’t notice might be the best way.

Я дуже обережно це кажу, але маю відчуття, що на початку цього року загальний хід війни переламався на нашу користь. Повільно та поступово - але помітно. В нас все ще неймовірна купа проблем - військових, економічних, геополітичних - але ворог відверто закульгав. Йому перестало вистачати людей, йому перестало вистачати грошей, йому перестало вистачати технологій - і окремо важливо та приємно, що йому перестало вистачати засобів ППО. Почав-таки стікати нафтою від нашої тактики тисячі порізів. Звісно, рудий дідо нам своїм підвищенням світових цін на нафту "удружив" неслабо. Але навіть з урахуванням цього є великий шанс, що цього року ми будемо домінувати та принижувати.

@DrewPavlou I don’t think we should be paralysed with guilt about it, but it is a factual statement. Someone else was living here and someone else showed up and took all the best bits. Yes disease did most of the work, but it was helped along with plenty of violence.

This applies for Australia too. I have seen recent Indian migrants (people who have arrived in the past 3-4 years to Australia) argue that Australia is “Stolen Land.” It is extremely off-putting to normal Australians to be told that they carry blood guilt for their ancestors alleged crimes. I highly recommend people do not employ this toxic political language

@sunflowersoul88 @Maks_NAFO_FELLA The US has such insane power and influence that you must do everything you can to make yourself appear as an inappropriate target as they don’t seem to need much of a reason to fuck your shit up. Fighting one former superpower supplied by another is hard enough as it is.

@Maks_NAFO_FELLA Wait. If Budanov is aware of that document then President Zelensky too must be aware of it. The extent of Trump's treacherous plan. Then why have they been trying to call him an ally, seek support and all the diplomacy? Why not seek other radical paths, e.g. to expose him? ELi5.

@_TomHoward @YellowSnow60 @dotkrueger I love space, But if generation ships were possible the universe would be visibly populated by someone already. We haven’t even started to solve mars travel and habitation yet. It’s unlikely in my lifetime. Maybe we can reassess extrasolar voyages after we plant a flag on Pluto.

@YellowSnow60 @dotkrueger Yes obvious constraints are the realm of commoners. Interesting and smart people solve constraints they don’t complain and give up. Uninspiring.

We're not going to travel beyond the solar system, according to Leonard Susskind. And neither are aliens, coming to visit us. We may not be alone, but we are stuck here for, essentially forever. 1. The nearest star is 4.24 light years away. The fastest spacecraft ever built would require 6,600 years to get there. 2. Surely we can just build faster spacecraft. The problem is to get to anywhere close to the speed of light, we need exponentially more energy. 3. Chemical rockets will just not work. Even fusion rockets won't work. Even 10% of the speed of light is not achievable. The Tsiolkovsky Rocket Equation prevents it. 4. Interstellar dust becomes hand grenades when traveling anywhere close to the speed of light. Ships break. 5. Space radiation will kill us over the time need to travel interstellar distances. Impossible to protect without massive shields, which require massive energy to accelerate and de-accelerate.

@Sheldone @Waddananggu We had a version of apartheid within living memory. As in the US it took a few decades after WW2 for the lessons about genocide and facism to seep into society and inform reforms.

@Waddananggu I was surprised when an indigenous mate told me the actual numbers. I was a huge WWII ‘fan’ as a teen and I never realised how white-washed Australian history was.

Aboriginals have served at a higher rate per capita than European Australians in every major war, Yet not one Victoria cross has been awarded to an Aboriginal soldier.

@marcvelitrae @CattSentinel @michaeldweiss Western Imperialism does not justify Russian imperialism. And the US did not annex any of those territories, which remain independent countries.

@Numinar @CattSentinel @michaeldweiss That's nonsense. They have had discreet conflicts with former Soviet republics including Ukraine and Georgia. Compare that to the US/NATO who have invaded/bombed Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria, Yemen, Serbia, Venezuela Iran.

New: We have more calls between Sergei Lavrov and Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjártó. These include discussion of Hungary’s role in blocking financial aid to Ukraine and impeding its accession negotiations with the EU. “Sometimes good-willed direct blackmailing is the best option,” Lavrov told Szijjártó. vsquare.org/kremlin-hotlin…

@KobieThatcher Anything real to criticise or are you a brainrotted partisan hack?

PM Anthony Albanese will fly to Singapore today to discuss fuel supplies. In times like these, wouldn't it make more sense to hold a meeting on Zoom and save all of that fuel from his private plane?

@FaultLineAUS @clairlemon Are you saying he didn’t do what was claimed, or that he did it and what was claimed isn’t a problem?

@clairlemon My brother was an SAS soldier. They are our elite killers in a defence force beset by government indolence. He is innocent, the middle classes remain unaffected by war.

Bolt is right. x.com/theheraldsun/s…

@auboomers Twice the income but the homes cost 10x as much. The math dosn’t math.

He wants one logical answer. Here it is. Stop renting and buy. We did it on $41,500 combined in 1983. The median Australian earns double that now. Twice the income and somehow worse off? I'd be looking at the lifestyle before I blamed the system 🏡
