True and say what you want about American wars, they don’t take territory for themselves. Russia on the other hand

Ukraine was invaded, twice, with Russia as the aggressor. That isn’t Ukraine’s fault and they have every right to kick Russian ass as long as it takes for Russia to pull out or negotiate. Both will be politically painful so the war goes on.

And if you’re in a shooting war with Russia, who better to ask for weapons than the US? Even old outdated US equipment was designed to take on Soviet equipment so yeah you want them as friends to give your nation a fighting chance and prove to Russia and the international community that they won’t be pushovers.

And look at NATO. They are bumping defense GDP to 5%. Finland, Poland, Estonia and others are withdrawing from agreements that forbid the placement of anti-personnel mines. Even if this war ends tomorrow, nobody seems to think Russia will be satisfied for long

It can only mean one thing

Many people I know agree with deporting illegal immigrants and see it as a problem that had been simply ignored for far too long. I found an article talking about deportation flights as early as 2023 (I’ll try to find and link it here, and here’s one from 2024) so it’s not brought on by the Trump admin, but he greatly expanded the scale and publicity.

There are disagreements though, mostly with how it’s being carried out. If the agents are unidentifiable as feds some day someone is going to fight back, or a third party will intervene thinking they are getting mugged.

And there is a big lack of due process to make sure those arrested actually meet the criteria for deportation. No way they are all 100% legit with no mistakes. If everything is legit more due process and transparency shouldn’t be an issue if your case is solid.

State govts can mobilize their national guard. The guard is the only military component that can be “deployed” on American soil for combat or civil support like riot control or disaster relief

Active duty and reserve bases exist in the US of course but are generally forbidden from being used for combat operations or enforcing domestic policies on US soil. It’s called Posse Comitatus

Idk why but when I see deleted by creator I think it’s funny to imagine God personally zapping it from existence but they still leave that so everyone knows it was them

It it was my choice I would try to learn the language of the culture I’m most interested in

It seems like everyone wants to get on board and try it in case it takes off.

If it works they want to be the first to get really good at it and if it doesn’t the normal search engines are still there to fall back on.

At the moment (for LLM’s) it feels like the 3DTV hype. A lot of cool technologies that were expensive and ultimately not worth it for a lot of people. Maybe that will change as time goes on.

So that’s where madam comes from

High risk high reward I guess. And it varies a lot because some are super hard core with latin and all, and some are pretty relaxed with it

In theory you’re not supposed to have pre-marital sex (it probably happens all the time) and dating would tend to be more serious than casual. Going steady vs hooking up. So yeah I imagine having a relationship not work out carries more weight

But once you get past that you get a long lasting marriage, a family and all the positives that come with that

This guy knows what he’s talking about

Personally I get more of a reaction from smelling diesel exhaust and smoke at the same time

I’ve never associated dead people smells with food though.

Say what you want about their morals but the music is a vibe

Most cell towers have generators but only about 2-3 days of fuel. So you might have ways to charge your phone but it might not have a network to connect to

You don’t need a cell signal to get a GPS location so having some offline maps like OrganicMaps or OSMand can still be useful

Nope! Watching a movie about Thor or something is fine. It only doesn’t work when you begin to worship Thor over God, which breaks the first commandment

It’s not surrounded by a ton of corporate bs. I know the us govt has their own openstreetmap setups (like this basic unclassified one) and wiki sites (intellipedia) because it’s a proven framework to set up and add your own information.

gps too

Yep, and all US Citizens have the same rights and access to the same stuff.

Like anything else you can’t expect your political opponents to do the hard work for you.

If people suddenly want to get into 2A stuff, good! They unironically should to go buy a rifle and/or pistol, some related equipment, learn and get good. From there you are free to do what you’re willing to live with.

The US mil will certainly be negatively effected in the short term if China were to cut/be cut from manufacturing. This substack article is by a retired US navy/NATO officer who explains it better than I can, but the short answer is a LOT of very important munitions, vessels and equipment have chinese semiconductors in them
