World News@lemmy.world•U.S. Troops Were Told Iran War Is for “Armageddon,” Return of JesusEnglish
13·1 day agoWorked for Afghanistan. No one thinks that we have a chance in a conventional warfare scenario, and we absolutely don’t, which is why we will not make it a conventional warfare scenario. It will be an insurgency where everyone looks just like them. And that insurgency will 100% spread south.
Pretty sure our military budget is higher than Al-Qaeda’s.
My point was more that whether it is natural or not isn’t particularly relevant anyway. And that homophobic assholes tend to drink Bud Light, which is not natural, so clearly they already like “unnatural” things inside them.
One time, my dad, fully serious, said to me that homosexuality didn’t exist in nature outside of humans.
Would just be like “Neither does fucking Bud Light dumbass!”
… That bastard Faramir stole precious Boromir’s third mattress! I KNEW he was worthless!

1·7 days agoEh, my current computer is a laptop where the screen only works at 60hz, but it’s default refresh rate is 120hz so I can’t actually see anything (such as the bios or boot options) until Windows has started and forced it back to 60hz. Otherwise I would have switched months ago.
I think what they are saying is that they’d rather the burden be distributed equitably across the populace instead of placing the burden entirely on good people.
It ends up being net zero. They’re only writing off the money you donated. They still have to count the money you donated towards their overall revenue, increasing their tax bill, but then they pass the donation on, allowing them to write it off, reducing their overall revenue (and thus their tax bill) to what it would have been if you hadn’t donated.
Thank you for your service! You saved me from having to do it haha.

Cool, latch on the least important reason we did it and ignore the others while acting like you’re somehow superior for doing so I guess.
The wolves were driven off for a reason. They had a tendency to snack on pets, livestock and small children until they learned to fear us. Those issues all come back if they stop fearing us again.
I mean, kinda yes, kinda no. We generally weren’t hunting predators primarily for meat, but for community safety. The meat from predators was a byproduct of not wanting a bear or something to decide our children would make for a tasty snack.
It’s just those predators were also what kept prey populations under control, so now we have to take over that role in order to prevent their extinction. Left to their own devices, they’ll overgraze and kill the areas ability to support them, and then they all die because the area won’t necessarily bounce back quickly enough as they die of starvation.

27·11 days agoMy next computer will be Linux because of all this nonsense. The only thing that was keeping me on Windows was gaming, and Valve has solved that issue for every game I play via Proton. Sayonara MicroSlop!

Technology@lemmy.world•Jack Dorsey's New Company Falling Apart as It Forces Employees to Use AIEnglish
101·11 days agoAircraft wings operate on pretty much the same principle as bird wings do. We just used a technology we had already developed (fans, essentially) to create the forward movement necessary to create the airflow over the wings for lift. We know how to do it the bird way too, but restrictions in material science at scale make the fan method far easier and less error prone.
What if we used a series of self driving buses which would use cameras to follow painted lines on the ground in a preset pattern?
FUCK! THAT’S TRAINS AGAIN!
LOL
Maybe he doesn’t like his brother that much?
LE = Law Enforcement ND = Negligent Discharge.
Sounds like it’s time to find a new bank then.








Just to be clear. They believe all life is sacred. So they must preserve life at all costs. And their solution to this is to kill MORE people?
Sure, makes complete sense eye roll
