But doesn’t Trump hate China?

Obviously he’s extremely succeptable to bribery/flattery etc so he could easily “art of the deal” Taiwan off to China.

Personally I feel like he’s definitely having a vindictive king renaissance so I’m expecting a lot of inflexible decisions made entirely on impulse - because that’s exactly what the people want.

Don’t know if I see him going to war with China as getting bribed is better than fighting and potentially losing. Plus, fighting implies you don’t have enough power/influence to win without fighting and Trump is all about projecting power.

If he does want war, I wouldn’t be surprised to see an American foreign legion formed out of the 20 million immigrants he wants to deport

“All white ppl look the same!”

-NK, probably

Still a tough line to toe.

South Korea can undoubtedly roll North Korea. But North Korea + China + Ruzzia is much harder to contend with.

NK is benefitting from actively trading with first world economies in a meaningful way and will likely be heavily updating their military and spycraft capabilities.

This will blow back way harder on Israel than America.

Ignoring all politics, logistically this war is a rounding error in the Pentagon’s budget. America can and often does absolutely anything it wants to anyone at any point in time - and the only thing stopping it is how it feels about a subject at any given moment.

Israel is tiny and surrounded by enemies who they are pissing off.

For the record I am entirely opposed to Israel committing genocide and America funding it.

Was surprised at how unbothered the building was by those bombs

I suppose it doesn’t matter that the building is still standing if everyone’s organs are liquefied.

I can’t decide if it’s better to leave a strategic position (that’s easy to bomb) standing for repeat business, or if levelling the building is the overall better strategy

Either way, those were some accurate strikes!

Fuck me do I ever hate landmines.

Obviously fuck Ruzzia, and Ukraine isn’t doing anything wrong defending itself in this way.

But there’s something entirely different about passive warfare like that.

The footage of drones dropping grenades are pretty brutal too - but for me there’s something different between being hunted by a weapon system engaged in active warfare, and the passive indifference of mines.

There’s a lot of footage from this war that live rent free in my head, but an especially brutal one was of a Ukrainian soldier(medic?) during the first significant use of western armor counter offensive.

They jumped out of the APC, clearly picking their landing spot, and immediately their leg was blown off by a landmine. You could see them succumbing to shock as they’re trying to get a Tourniquet on. Thankfully his buddies immediately loaded him up and left, but it’s stayed with me more than any of the others.

For what it’s worth, my DJI drone flashes low battery around 20% and given the altitude these drones are flying at I wouldn’t be surprised if easily more than half of the battery was consumed just getting up there.

The spy craft in me thinks it could also be a false reading to hide the drones true operational range.

I don’t particularly think his supporters matter, as they are mostly sheep and not one of the main facisim roots.

It’s the fact that more than half of America’s entire media apparatus is entirely behind Trump.

They dominate airwaves and have entire control over several local information ecosystems allowing them to brainwash entire populations with wall-to-wall propaganda that is completely aligned in its message of refuting and obfuscation of reality.

Regardless if the people are racist, scared, simple minded, trained to blindly accept specific authority or whatever, is mostly irrelevant in a society with journalistic integrity, and a non-corporate/private interest owned media.

It’s no surprise that some people believe outrageous, impossible, contradictory, claims when every reality authority available to you exclusively tells you coordinated lies.

Yeah, but you put a quarter in their shopping carts guys! What an organized and crime free society guys.

Their subway is super clean guys we can’t compete with freedom like that guys.

Guys, Tucker said groceries are cheaper than America, guys. We’ve been duped into thinking life is OK guys. But also lowering prices in America is also communism guys. Russia has literally the least communist history guys, America is the real Marxist guys.

Trust me guys, American freedom has nothing on Ruzzian freedom guys. All of the benefits with literally 0 drawbacks guys, it’s insane how little consequences there are to living in Ruzzia guys.

There’s nothing more free than a brutally oppressive police state run by a dictator guys, it’s the secret recipe for freedom guys. Trust me bro.

Damn! at first I thought these were all underground and I thought it barely scratched the surface.

Then I saw the before picture and turns out those aren’t tunnel entrances, but holes where warehouses used to be!

Feels inadequate but probably does a fair job of reducing the first drone’s damage and keeping people alive

The logistics of caging all your vehicles must be an absolute nightmare though

Sadly, they didn’t quite understand the instructions due to translation.

Only Death’s cloak can impart invisibility on the wearer.

Wearing a cloak + death at the same time may be close, but ultimately does not have the same result as wearing Death’s actual cloak as we can see.

Depending on which side of the bridge you’re on when the bombs start dropping, maybe no that far.

Getting trapped behind enemy lines because they sunk the bridge doesn’t sound fun. Plus those trees provide some cover.

On top of that, there’s a good chance of being executed if you leave the group.

It looks like the shot clipped a hill fairly close to the tank and it still hit the target.

Tanks are pretty niche in modern warfare, but holy fuck are they terrifying if you don’t have the appropriate counter measures.

Didn’t they March in with victory day parade attire in their backpacks instead of a second round of ammunition, or rations?

Said or unsaid, even if the war was going exactly as planned, it’s a shit war that’s executed poorly and will destroy the Russian economy and likely end up losing everything they took, even Crimea.

Pretty sure the user giving you grief is AI, you didn’t say anything wrong.

War is never 100% clean from any side.

Honestly, that’s a pretty great looking setup, wonder how it fares in the rain.

Add a couple windows (optional) with a few cottage core flannel throw pillows and you’ve got a million dollar cottage in Ontario.

I feel like his advice is really only applicable if the tasks are received pre-gamified, otherwise it’s just the same task with double the work:

Here’s a list of tasks

but it’s boring and tedious

use the content of the list to create a game with structure that ties individually completed tasks to generate automatic, immediate, output/result/gratification

Begin accomplishing gamified list tasks <---- (should be starting here)

Finish quickly due to gamification.

That whole approach ain’t gonna work on someone with ADHD. If it isn’t received pre-gamified, I’m not gonna do a bunch of extra work before I can start the actual work.

“The hack to being unable to start a task, is to start an additional, more complicated task” - No

“The best way to get an ADHD brain to quickly accomplish simple task lists is by having accomplishments provide immediate results/rewards” - Yes

They do mention the incubation period for Rabies in the article can be up to two years, and they also mention it being found in seals starting in 2021.

You are correct that anyone bit recently may not be able to 100% confirm no transmission, but if no one bitten since 2021 has had Rabies from seal bites its still an accurate assessment.

Especially if people are bitten in (salt) water. Rabies spreads via saliva which is likely going to have a significantly smaller viral load if the bites happen in ocean water (also mentioned as a possible reason for low/no infection)

Yak takes me back to classic Red Alert, never seen it anywhere else but here!
