Chill Annoying, War

True. In a lot of the videos, the weapons are clearly (by sound) AK-47s or AK-74s. The ammo used in those is very distinctive and is unmistakable. The IDF uses NATO-chambered 5.56mm and wouldn’t be toting around AKs routinely.

Basedness

Chill Culture

Women and men are pitiful in different ways now. Women got what they thought they wanted and it destroyed them.

Men were told to retreat and did, and the bitterness of listening to words and following them rather than observing actions and doing based on that destroyed them.

Is there a way back? Perhaps not. Diseased cultures often simply die.

Holy F

Chill Amusing

Intern nuked it.

LOL at giving Domain Admin rights to a summer intern. That’s amazing.

At a previous role where we had interns, we didn’t even give them login rights to anything but their own PCs. And even then, they had no local admin access.

Interns mostly don’t know anything. Giving them access to much is very dangerous as they want to be helpful but that often leads to “helpful” disasters. As this person is finding out.

Unprompted Aggro

Chill Evil

Just a reminder that under the Budapest Memorandum on Security Assurances signed on December 5, 1994, Russia, the US, Ukraine and the UK agreed that no power would invade or coerce Ukraine if it relinquished its 1,000+ nuclear weapons.

Russia violated this agreement by invading Crimea in 2014 and the rest of Ukraine in 2022.

There were no stipulations about NATO membership of Ukraine or any other states in the Memorandum. This is why the US and NATO should be tossing Russia out of Ukraine posthaste.

Rupt

Chill Clowns, Evil

I also think that effect is hugely underestimated. The Covidians are hopeless; they are convinced there was no disruption and no lockdown anywhere because government thugs didn’t come around welding your door shut. Unless, that is, you were in China.

But even among thoughtful people I believe the effects of the unforced Covid disruptions are not understood nor accounted for. And the more I examine the aftermath the more my evaluation seems to me to be leaning correct. Supermarkets never recovered; I have not seen a fully-stocked one since 2019. Staff in retail establishments are more listless and service is worse everywhere. Attendance to everything from concerts to sporting events is down and public transit in most places never returned to its previous level of ridership. And we all retreated into digital fortresses, with no signs of any emergence.

Something shifted when we broke society. And it will never I guess shift back.

Attack

Chill Annoying, Clowns

Exactly. Most women have no idea how much stronger the average man is than they are.

My dad was not violent. My mom was, though. And unpredictably so. One day she got mad at my dad and started attacking him, hitting him in the face and chest. Eventually he grew tired of the abuse and just to get her away from him, he lightly (for him) swatted her on the shoulder. He didn’t intend to hurt her and in fact did not. However, she went flying halfway across the room and and landed hard on her ass.

My mom was not weak (being a waitress at the time) but my dad was probably somewhere around 6-8x as strong as she was. Now, sure, my dad was unusually strong. He was built like a bear and I saw him lift 500-pound iron engine blocks without much effort. But it wasn’t really until that moment that I realized just how vastly more physically powerful my dad was than my mother.

I’d never hit my partner unless she turns into a zombie or something. And I’m nowhere near as strong as my dad was (despite all my working out), but I’m quite sure I can punch 3-5x as hard as she can. I’m stronger. My arms weigh a lot more. I have more fast-twitch muscle. And I’ve thrown many, many punches in my life. But most of my advantages there are genetic in nature and not due to my experience and training.

No matter what nonsense you’ve read, men and women just are not built the same. It’s a liberal fantasy that is completely untrue.
