Believe me, it’s there.

It’s just another Ohio, though. You don’t want to be stuck in Ohio.

Surely imperialist countries with interests in an area wouldn’t go and lie about things???

Next you’re gonna tell me the US lied about WMDs in 2001…

Probably “medical examiner” or similar medical doctor that does work for the police to determine things like cause of death and other injuries possibly obtained while dying.

It’s not really heartbreaking when you know the reason the worst person you know is even talking is to try and distract from their own shit.

Doesn’t make it less true, just less heartbreaking.

The Budapest memorandum of 1994 ensured that the US and UK would "Seek immediate Security Council action to provide assistance to the signatory if they “should become a victim of an act of aggression or an object of a threat of aggression in which nuclear weapons are used”

That happened. It’s a promise to bring the issue to the UN security council for a vote on action. Not a promise to invade any attacking country.

What also happened is that Russia, a seat on the security council, has the power to veto, and a conflicting interest here that the UN decided couldn’t possibly be a problem in the future.

I’m not saying we have done enough.

I am, however, saying that we have held up our end of the agreement, as written on paper.

As far as I’m concerned, my country is 1/3 of the reason they’re in this mess, so we need to step in and directly protect them at the bare minimum. Ukraine isn’t safe until their borders are restored to pre-2014, their infrastructure is repaired and improved, and they have enough to defend themselves from Russia AND the US. And also the government stooges of Russia get put to death for forcing their population to fight and die against an opponent who never wanted a fight to begin with.

“Vladimir Putin says-”

Lemme stop you right there, pardner.

Don’t care.

Police who made these claims after a single driver took the open bag after they initially found nothing, then reappeared with a closed bag and no gloves, then somehow magically they found super bulky items that would not have been able to hide inside the backpack.

The fact that other commenter posted that without a hint of sarcasm tells me they’re either drinking the coolaid, they’re arguing in bad faith, or they’re just plain ignorant and extremely naive. Possibly stupid, but I try to assume ignorance over stupidity. “They caught him with tye murder weapon, a manifesto, and a signed note saying I did it” is something a literal child would think. In fact, I vaguely remember an episode of a children’s TV show where the snitch kid writes a note that says “I did it -TJ” and the teacher used that as an excuse to put TJ in detention for littering and admitting it.

I am absolutely not convinced that Luigi mangione did anything but have a strong chin and dark eyebrows like some guy in a hood on grainy security footage.

That doesn’t make Luigi any less of a martyr to me. The government has made the same mistake many in power have made over the years. They assume bythrowing their weight behind punishment, it will deter future attempts by increasingly desperate populations. Historically, we can see that is never the case for very long, if it works at all.

If I had to guess, it’s because up until now you’ve held the assumption that the people in power know what they’re doing for the most part, and nobody was a dying felon in his last years on earth terrified of going to prison for raping children.

Now you are under no such illusions, and the people in charge ARE dying felons that rape children and have no morals, and the government doesn’t even want to try and check or balance itself.

I feel very bad for whoever considers me a villain in their story.

Like not to belittle them or their struggles, but uh… gestures to self just look at me…

Pretty much all I’ve been hearing is praise. I think it’s more reflective of which places we go for discussions than reflective of the quality of the show.

With a small but vocal minority hating on the (in best ferengi impression) feeeeeeeemale characters, it’s been mostly “it’s great” or “it’s not my cup of earl Grey but it’s being done well for the most part and I hope it does well”

I am someone who is interested in rc planes, multirotors, and automation in general. Not an expert by any measure, but have some experience.

A hybrid quad-rotor/plane would be much better for this. They can VTOL, hover, do all the quadcopter stuff, but there’s still the usual plane motors to push the whole thing forward. The wings provide tons of lift and reduce the overall power usage of the system. Have it circle above an area until you don’t need the pop-up mesh network.

I’ve seen a few content creators like rctestflight make full solar planes, running ardupilot to fly way point missions and circle around for as long as possible.

Combining the two might reduce the overall efficiency when compared to either separately, I imagine the extra grams from the mesh radios would still allow for very long flight times.

So theoretically you should be able to toss a couple out that can circle overhead and act as super long line-of-sight relays and provide coverage over a huge area, all of which couod be deployed and packed up in minutes.

No, they mean department of defense.

The president and his cabinet don’t arbitrarily decide names. There are actual procedures to go about doing so.

Alternatively if you feel like it doesn’t matter since theyre all going along with it, I feel like the DOD and Gulf of Mexico are two of the very few entities it’s okay to deadname, along with Twitter.

it was a guarantee to:

respect Ukraine’s territory (which Russia vialoted, the US didn’t)

bring any violations to the UN security council (which was done, but with Russia having veto power, useless)

Most people I speak to have the impression that any attack on Ukraine meant the US would jump into full scale war mode to defend them. Honestly I wish it were. At least then it would have been harder for the Biden administration to essentially ignore.

“here’s a bunch of old equipment, good luck buddy” was technically more than required, but grossly inadequate.

As an American in my 30s…

Just don’t trust anything the US says, period.

Who knows if our 4-year mood/tantrum cycle will honor the deal in 15 years, let alone 5.

Nothing I’ve fried has been made worse by the deep fryer

Well, other than your health.

Although you aren’t really deep frying it directly. Just by proxy.

For the same reason that half the MAGAts in government that we have crimes + named suspects with mountains of evidence, and still no trial.

The same reason donld Trump incited a crowd of people, on camera, to go try and overthrow the government on a cold January morning 6 years ago, and despite people dying and people being murdered in the attempt, the person we have on camera starting it is now the goddamn president instead of in a cell or pine box.

We have no justice system. It only ever existed for whichever out group is being targeted. The rich and influential don’t exist in those groups and instead of trying to hide that like they used to, nowadays they just openly flaunt it.

Account less than a month old and posting uplifting news, while being salty about said news in the comments.

I smell astroturf.

American here, most have no idea that Canada has a prime minister and not president, and JT was the last name most of us heard in relation to the Canadian government.

I doubt very much Trump knows who the current PM is, so I could absolutely see him demanding the capture of “president Trudeau”

Lol American here and that’s all anyone around me was talking about yesterday.
