If it weren’t for clownish behavior, most people would have no behavior at all.

Scary video of the last moments of Saurya Airlines that crashed earlier today in Kathmandu.
That’s a Bombardier CRJ. I don’t know much about those, but this looks like pilot error to me. My guess is that the pilot turned the wrong way at first off the runway, then attempted to turn the other way at too low an airspeed and stalled. Then boom.
But we’ll see.

OSGV “Khortytsia” reported on the downing of a Russian Su-25 in the Pokrovsky direction.
Apparently happened on July 23. That is something you don’t see every day.
Nice shot. That’s about the max range of that Stinger. Not 100% sure it’s a Stinger, but it flies like one.
Spark
Some waitress when I was in the army gave me sparkling water and I had no fucking clue what it was, either. It also tasted like garbage and I could not drink it. I believe Vance’s story; when you grow up in hick areas with no culture, you don’t see much and only know what you read about.
PMC libs don’t realize it but they have the same problem — they don’t buy any story that does not reflect their also-very-limited PMC upbringing.
Disksec
This was just to keep people from casually yoinking your disks in the office or even at home. They were pretty expensive back then and not that easy to replace.
NoExp
You can tell a lot of people on Reddit are really, really young because they are eager to declare any story “fake,” even many things that are extremely common. Everything seems unlikely when you’re 15 and your life experience consists of going to a boring suburban upper middle class school day after day.
Drama Mine
Are ‘confrontational’ jobs/industries really like they portray them in the movies?
No movies are accurate, because of the need to emphasize and focus on drama. For instance in movies about the military, stuff that happens 1% of the time is 95% of the film. This is just as true of other fields and industries. Movies aren’t completely apart from real life, but are always, always condensations and intensifications of life while mostly omitting the quotidian.
Zion
I really do think 99.99% of people who talk about how Israel is uniquely terrible actually do just hate Jews and wish for their extinction. The antisemites just have a convenient cover for it that Israel has committed to defending itself, as any country would.
Skynet
Could AI robots with lasers make herbicides — and farm workers — obsolete?
Perhaps we should not give the AI robots lasers? Just a thought.
Boy Vic
I got into a fist fight with the woman who SA’ed my husband when he was a kid.
I bet this sort of sexual abuse by women is far more common than reported. I personally have known three men who were sexually abused as kids by women 25-50 and I don’t know that many people.
But the story is that women never do this sort of thing and that boys can’t be victims. Thus, this kind of abuse is vastly, vastly underreported. And if you do report it, generally no one cares. Feminism has failed both women and men.
Away Away
Also, remember stories like this when you want to peddle the modfem narrative that “all men are just unthinking brutish sex beasts and nothing else.”

Wall Street has Stolen $100 Trillion dollars from Mainstream Markets with Naked Shorts.
But if somebody’s got their shorts on, they ain’t naked! 😉
Like a Man
These days, women want it both ways. But they ain’t gonna get it. Want to be treated liked a man when it’s convenient for you? Time to fucking act like one then.
Phoned Out
The evidence is completely unambiguous and quite clear, especially since it’s happening all across the world. The only ones who don’t want to believe it are those who want to protect their own fix and can’t let their addiction go.
When you see an international trend like this, chances are that it’s neither cultural nor political in origin. It’s most likely technological. And smartphones plus social media are the most important technology that has changed teenagers’ lives around the world over the past decade.
Ex-fucking-actly, propaganda victims.
A recently published RCT by Schmidt-Persson et al. in Denmark found that having both young people and adults exchange their smartphones for flip phones resulted in major improvements in their reported well-being, a decrease in reports of negative emotions and difficulties with their peers, an increase in prosocial behavior, fewer behavioral issues for kids, and even more exercise.
Oh-so-many people hate that their “convenient” smartphones are actually portals to hell, but that’s the way it is, motherfuckers. Deal.
Down With The
Everyone is sick at work now, I’m the cause since I wasn’t allowed to call out.
I’m always surprised by how fucking idiotic American companies are about this. They’re perfectly willing to have the sick infect everyone else. The weird thing is that it causes direct self-harm to the company doing this. A lot of policies, they harm society in general but benefit the corporation itself.
But this practice is an odd one because it harms everyone for no benefit at all, least of all to the company that greatly reduces its own productivity by spreading the plague merrily around. It just makes no sense at all but seems to be primarily about cruelty and subservience.
