Who am I supposed to help? Explain that to me. You are going to vote for someone who enables genocide. I don’t want to help you do that. That’s on your conscience - explain it to yourself however you want if you can’t live with the truth

“in this election” dude this election has been happening since 67’ and even before that. The cognitive disonance simply makes you revert to tribal politics and “my side being the only choice uga buga”. You are supporting genocide by voting for a candidate that will support genocide and won’t do anything about it, or worse will put their hand to it by exporting even more weapons to Israel. That’s their policy - that nothing will change. They will “call for a two state solution” when people in Gaza are being displaced, killed in the thousands, their houses and hospitals being bombed regularly.

This is exactly your doing. You don’t get a pass because “the other tribe is worse uga buga”

It is insignificant and you saying it isn’t just means you ate the hook like a pelican. It is what they say they did, not why they actually did it - and that is to look cool and allow people to brag about aerodynamics when they know jack shit about the subject. When actually tested the impact is that they add around a kilometer to the range of the car - at a cost of mechanical complexity, difficulty in replacement and potential risk to lives of the people using them.

Those fancy curves in the front do way more to increase drag than regular door handles ever did. The answer is simple - Tesla did it and it looked fancy so they copied the thing that was “successful”.

Ya, zero risk to everything once you get 7 or 8 police wielding them at the same time, per one violent person, in a crowded subway with potentially no walls to pin them down to, with the extreme possibility of someone just pulling a gun on you when you have both your hands occupied with a stick. Mancatchers work great on gifs and videos, but suck in the actual world. Especially when you get charged by a dude wielding a knife. You’ll 100% have the time to “break the glass in an emergency” and to deal with said person. Especially when the situation turns from “let’s run after this guy that skipped the fare” into “holy shit that’s a knife and I’m going to die”.

No, there aren’t “police forces across the world trained to deal with people with deadly weapons”. They are trained to save themselves first and foremost. Same as firemen aren’t trained to run into a burning building heroically grabbing the puppy / family member and carrying them out. Paramedics too. This is the reality - nobody is required to give their lives up / risk their lives to save someone else’s.

Oh yeah “shut up about your single issue where people are dying because I don’t like their tax proposal”. Fuck anyone who openly supports genocide like this.

A lot of people learn this lesson sadly. It isn’t “sexy” to brag that you have a gold / platinum rated high quality PSU. People would rather add a “Ti” or a “10” to their graphics card and then lose it all when it goes. Same reason why I have an UPS for home PC - sure, overvoltage, undervoltage, electrical noise probably won’t harm the PC. But why risk it? Also having a battery to save your shit, or buy more electricity online when you run out on a prepaid meter is cool (speaking from experience, happened to me like 10 times already lol)

That’s the loserboard. Or a scoreboard depending on the killfeed

And then two years down the line you lose all the data - the pictures, the savegames, the porn collection. Drives are the one thing that shouldn’t be bought used

Well, yeah. You guys don’t eat sweet pasta at all? Sprinkle sugar on top, melt some butter on it and you get a great, quick to make combo. Same thing basically with everything that has dough and isn’t salty - sweet pierogi, potato dumplings etc.

Lots of people said openly “we’d rather not have it at all”. The bot gets downvoted every thread with comments criticizing it. It doesn’t need to exist and is openly harmful.

I understand someone put a lot of work into it, but it simply doesn’t work for what it needs to do. Unless you want to be spreading misinformation, then it works perfectly.

“MBFC” is basically a single dude’s opinion, containing a shitton of bias. Using it to verify credibility of anything is wrong.

These are confirmed victims only, who could be identified by their ID number. The Gaza Ministry of Health has taken incredibly detailed statistics for years. They hire people whose only job is to count people, their injuries, details like location of bullet wounds, percent of successful and unsuccessful treatment, etc. Mind you this is in a completely hectic scenario / triage going on with hospitals overflowing with patients. There are WHO reports using this data for some of the past notable dates and they are always horrific.

Especially with ear licking being a thing

At that point just launch a missile at them.

This is a stupid game of chicken. China is bullying their way into what they want hoping they’ll get it. Once you use explosives, they’ll use explosives. That’s why right now it is ramming and water cannons.

The annoying part is the US talking about “what constitutes defense and needs US involvement” when it already is way past that point.

They were attacked by a nation that was going to attack them anyways. The history of pre-war / WW2 Japan made confrontation inevitable. This isn’t “a dilemma”. It’s sacrificing human lives of a defending country because of simple inaction. The war escalated when Russia attacked Ukraine in 2022. Russia started the war in 2014 by seizing sovereign territory. They weren’t holding back. They aren’t avoiding balistic missiles. They get their shit from their allies.

So if you want a dilemma, here it is - do we give up every country that doesn’t have nukes to nuclear powers? Because that’s what is being advocated for by tying their hands.

Yeah no shit. Still helped.

The tank thing is so bonkers too. Like, in early 2022 a brigade or two worth of tanks in Poland disappeared and appeared in Ukraine, fighting. Nobody gave a shit then, yet other countries were scared shitless to donate tanks for like a year (some saying “oh russian tank is ok but WeStErN tank is not”) like, what the fuck, a tank is a tank you little b-words

Nah, it is good natured ribbing 100%. People who are alone for 28 years in a row either are completely inept at human interaction or don’t want a partner / aren’t ready for one. The first case is incredibly rare, in the second case you probably are secure enough in it to laugh with them. And at the end of the day - it worked to get the cousing to start laughing and stop thinking about how hurt they are.
