My understanding is that they are focusing on adding in “AI” features in a big way, and that’s why they cut development on the other work. 🫤

Well… goddamn. I’ve been had.

ABC News: Timeline of unsubstantiated claims about Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio

NBC News: ‘It just exploded’: Springfield woman claims she never meant to spark false rumors about Haitians

Obviously the story about Haitians is fake and racist. The real story is that an American woman did get arrested for torturing, killing, and eating a cat in front of other people in Canton, Ohio, which is about 170 miles (~275 km) from Springfield.
Politifact: Arrest of a Canton, Ohio, woman unrelated to baseless claims about Haitian immigrants in Springfield one comment down.

However, my preferred theory is that JD Vance heard that liberals eat pussy, and the random hateful sentiment generator in his head came up with migrants eating cats.

I’m not one for political branding , but I’d wear a shirt with that image/ text that says “Shirtless guys on meth riding alligators for Harris”

I think everyone would think I’m on their side.

I hope that’s not the case, but he’s rapidly declining, anyway.
I don’t really care if he’s ever imprisoned, so long as he loses and the cult that follow him and the sociopaths that fund/back him are left without their messiah/useful idiot in a position of power.

I’m pretty partial to trucker deer.

Heh. It’s because fursuits are hot.

I mean. Yeah. There’s only so much planning you can do to contain stupid.

A number of years ago a colleague wanted to download a song for a presentation. The site was blocked by our firewall, so they downloaded it to their phone, and transferred it from their phone to their work computer, then asked for my help to figure out why song.mp3.exe kept flashing a black screen and not playing any music.

This is both cowardly and very clever. It’s very strategic.

If trump wins, the sentencing hasn’t hurt his campaign and the case goes away. The Judge’s house doesn’t get doxxed to unstable people.
If Trump loses, his supporters cannot claim interference. But Trump can be sentenced and imprisoned before the next change of power.

Ugh. Fucking gross.

I honestly can’t recall if it was some sort of geopolitical analysis in the comments or actual news anymore, but years ago I read that climate change and the collapse of the North Atlantic Current would eventually open up vast areas of Siberia to mining/drilling, improve farming conditions in Russia, harm farming, solar, and wind in Western Europe, while dropping the temps in Western Europe. It would also raise temps in the eastern/southern U.S. and make hurricanes more dangerous and economically damaging along the entire Atlantic and Gulf coasts.
What I read concluded that climate change would be a major boon to Russia and any sensible leader there would want to facilitate it.

Prove both.

Edit: Let me make this easier. Read my user name. Read the user name of the other people you’re arguing with. Reread my prior comment - the first comment I made to you in this thread.

And calling me a dipshit is an ad hominem attack.

Almost all of their weapons platforms are based on U.S. tech. They aren’t going to replace all their equipment because they can’t buy replacement ammo and parts for a few months.

But I’m going to help you here:

Legislation enacted under Bush in 2008 requires that the U.S. ensure Israel maintain a qualitative military edge in the Middle East.

You have been arguing the wrong thing all along. Instead of trying to justify the sale of military weapons to Israel, you should simply say “It sucks, and it reveals how broken politics is that this deal cannot be undone between the shitheels in Congress, and the broken campaign finance laws that are allowing Israel allied interests to outright buy the loyalty of politicians or elect politicians loyal to them.”

Boom, done. You get to have your “you can’t stop the genocide” moment of gloating, and you can avoid all of the wasted energy and negativity. You keep insulting the intelligence of others, but you’re digging your heels in with easily defeated arguments. I don’t know what to say, bud.

I did not mention the U.S.

I have, however, reported your comment for violating community rules.

Backing up, so this isn’t buried in the comment thread. You mention land wars and highlight Vietnam and the world wars.

When the other commenter replies specifically about how logistics were vital to those wars, you say there were other wars, and when they corner you in that, you insist they aren’t defining land war right?

I would love to know what you believe the aforementioned enlightened conversations would entail. Just explain it - I’m not going to challenge your explanation. I’m legit curious.
Preemptively, though - if you’re focusing on what the wars were “about,” rather than how they’re prosecuted, then you’re arguing a moot point. The “about” is meaningless if the participants lack the ability to make war.

What of the other wars you mention that you haven’t given a name to? Which wars? In what ways do they not fit the bill for logistics?

And finally, what is your definition for land war, if that’s vital to understanding your comments?

My wife pointed this article out to me the other day.

I’m sorry - I don’t know how archive sites and paywall bypass things work, but I refresh it fast and load it in reader view before their JavaScript can execute.

Here are some extracts:

[Ronald Regan] was livid. He had just been shown pictures of civilians killed by Israeli shelling, including a small baby with an arm blown off. He ordered aides to get the Israeli prime minister on the phone and then dressed him down sharply.

Mr. Reagan [demanded], it had to stop. [Israel’s prime minister,] Mr. Begin heeded the demand. Twenty minutes later, he called back and told the president that he had ordered a halt to the shelling. “I didn’t know I had that kind of power,” Mr. Reagan marveled to aides afterward.

Biden Is Not the First U.S. President to Cut Off Weapons to Israel

Note: this is from May. Biden paused one shipment.

Correct. I was not diagnosed 10 years ago.

I can’t believe that the sudden rise in diagnoses’ is being seen as anything other than the first generation of adults that take mental health seriously finally reached a point in life where they had health insurance and disposable income to focus on their own mental health.

I have had ADHD all my life. When my mom died, I found letters in her things from my school counselor advising I be tested. I found letters from pissed off family members telling her to get me tested.
She didn’t do any of that. But I do remember the time she told me she never got my sister tested for dyslexia because she knew “none of [her] babies were retarded.”

It may not be a snake, but it might come back to bite you.

“At least three news outlets were leaked confidential material from inside the Donald Trump campaign […] So far, each has refused to reveal any details about what they received.”

I kind of got the impression that AP was indicating they wouldn’t keep silent (after verifying the materials).

The discussion in the comments here is illuminating, though. I knew Wikileaks was a Russian mouthpiece, but I didn’t realize the website offered cover for reporting of other news agencies, so they could avoid legal liability for releasing things.
Would not be surprised if a random site spun up somewhere with these documents on them soon.

Not even the wealthy. Literally any service-based business would do this if their clientele would let them.

I have a buddy that’s a tattoo artist. He would absolutely charge $20 for materials, then request his hourly rate in tips. I could imagine all sorts of grey or black market work just becoming de-facto legal because someone is now a caterer, and their ‘tips’ can be banked without fear of IRS audits. (But also, how cool would it be if cookie dealers gave you weed if you tipped well enough?)

And then comes the questions - are tradespeople in the service industry? A plumber performs a service. Can an employer tip an employee? We’d sure find out, because someone would try it.

Hey man, you’re harshing my good vibes. I’m gonna have to downvote you, those kids future health outcomes be damned.
