I will believe it when I see it.

Reports are that Moscow's anti-air fired on the jet..... "accidentally."

Damn right it is!

Don’t forget blowing up the train tracks leading into Tokmak! It’s not really about taking Tokmak but putting fire control on the train running through Tokmak. If Ukraine can prevent resupply via the trains then everything west of Tokmak falls practically without a shot.

Now there's a community I'd follow!

ADL would almost certainly file an anti-SLAPP claim and probably win. California’s anti-SLAPP law even says that it’s contents should be broadly considered as a bulwark against assholes using the courts to prevent public participation. If ADL does win an anti-SLAPP motion, Musk would end up paying their lawyers fees down to the cent.

Someone has to take Ted Cruz to Mexico.

Your own comment above basically supports the definition of tankie. Specifically, this:

The term is also used to describe people who endorse, defend, or deny the crimes committed by communist leaders such as Vladimir Lenin,[9][10] Joseph Stalin, Mao Zedong, Enver Hoxha, Pol Pot, and Kim il-Sung. In modern times, the term is used across the political spectrum to describe those who have a bias in favor of illiberal or authoritarian states with a socialist legacy or a nominally left-wing government, such as the Republic of Belarus, People's Republic of China, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, the Republic of Nicaragua, the Russian Federation, the Republic of Serbia, the Syrian Arab Republic, and the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela. Additionally, tankies have a tendency to support non-socialist states with no socialist legacy if they are opposed to the United States and the Western world in general, regardless of their ideology,[4][11] such as the Islamic Republic of Iran. (emphasis mine)

I would take issue with the single word 'fascist' that @figaro@lemdro.id is using, as the government doesn't need to be full-on fascist to it qualify for tankies to defend it. It only needs to be illiberal with a socialist legacy or nominally left-leaning government. So the definition is more broad than what figaro defines. But all the elements of Figaro's defintion are literally there in your own linked Wikipedia article.

Yep, people in Rochester were pissed to learn this. Instead of riding the wave, Kodak execs turned the company into a donkey.

I am the.... No, really.. No ex-President takes mug shots like me. I'm just....Have you seen it? It's beautiful. People all say it's the greatest ex-President mug shot ever.

Username… checks out?

Is bold the word we’re looking for here? It’s definitely A move.

Ironic.... he could see the problems in others..... But not himself.

Or, they have the greatest, most technologically advanced space navy, with the Mariner Valley full of Chinese-Texans who all speak with the Texan drawl.

Because (Gen) X gonna give it to ya.

Getting students to interact with you (the instructor) on ANY level is nightmare fuel for introverts. I say this as the instructor AND a lifelong introvert (when I not teaching my topics I love).

Sadly, Ukraine won’t be admitted to NATO until the major hostilities are over. If Ukraine can beat back Russian troops to outside their borders, then NATO will let Ukraine join. The missile attacks that Russia will use after they lose the last Ukrainian territory will continue until the day Ukraine accedes to NATO, then Russia will switch to as many annoying fly-bus as they think they can get away with.

I feel like he would spray holy water though.

Don't give them any ideas.

30 minutes is generous. I’ve watched the aisle get trashed in 5 minutes when I took my son shoe shopping for school last year. We were the only ones who put things back.

Have you heard of MBS? He’s…something.

Odin's balls I HATED the OF ads in random subs shit. Took the fun right out of many of the communities.

But the “WORK FROM HOME” company should be doing EVERYTHING to encourage the activity that keeps THEM in business. It’s mind-boggling!

So you’re telling me that Excel is very good at stuff?

That’s the bots at work though. Create a circle-jerk of upvotes on certain topics with nothing inventive or new in between. I have yet to see a bot(like response) here. Most comments are well thought out. And the posts are pretty relevant and no ads!!!

It’s more like 2.5 billion for R&D and then 2.5 billion to create the factory that builds them and the first thousand units. The per unit cost is initially high and then comes down once all the front end work is done.

And as with many programs, the R&D phase may lead to a brand new use-case for drones or an entirely different purpose for one of the drone prototypes. So there can be unknown benefits too.

This is golden!! :D

Now I'm sitting here trying not to laugh, thinking about the old adage: how do you know if the Pope is venomous or poisonous?

If you bite the Pope and you die, he's poisonous. If the Pope bites you and you die, he's venomous.

That’s the next game in the Dark Souls line: Bright Souls: YHWH’s revenge.

Strong disagree. NATO has Article 5, which would provide for mutual defense. The USA will give Ukraine weapons and as much help as they possibly can to win the war, but they will not join Ukraine as a participant in hostilities. The USA can’t guarantee Ukraine’s territorial integrity unless it’s willing to send fighters which is the exact thing the USA is avoiding right now. It’s deliberately limiting the scope of help so that they don’t start a nuclear war with Russia. And these guarantees are more of a “you can eventually join” and “we’ll give you as much information as we gather and any weapons we can afford, but you have to fight” than a NATO for Ukraine.

He has family in Russia. If he doesn't get them out, they die painfully. Maybe Pringles had a heart in there somewhere after all.

This describes me. So far it’s been exploring and figuring out how the fediverse works. But there’s a Skyrim “sub” and a Buffalo Bills “sub” and ones for tech and whatnot. So I’m pretty happy so far!

It’s like they were trying to jump the Gorge Dukes of Hazzard style. Crazy to watch.

How do you know the plane didn't have a nice window on it?

It’s all up-front costs! /s

BE Man, Amazon must be really pissed off about this...

I think most, like me, read the article and found it wanting. The USA has limited resources and has to decide what’s going to get priority. The Biden Administration’s decision to focus its foreign policy on countering growing Chinese global influence is a decision that has to be made in the context of these limited resources. So blaming the US for a war that both sides have wanted and worked toward for 50 years while every US President has put in far more resources to try to prevent that war seems like the journalist doesn’t understand the basics of practically anything having to do with foreign policy. But must be the USA’s fault because we didn’t decide to spend more of our limited resources on a conflict that never goes away.

I had swear the First Ideal. The storm light is kinda fun though.

Sadly those were probably botnets. If you pick on a subject, and there’s certain keywords there…boom brigaded in 30 seconds.
