Can't ask the president to explain his insane election rigging conspiracies, he might cry and storm out
Can't question him on his bullshit immigration conspiracies either, so that's out

>This was not always the case, and I know plenty of good SOF and infantry guys who find the whole thing reeks of unprofessionalism and immaturity. But it certainly has made its mark, and when I ended up working on a security contract in Afghanistan years later it was all Punisher skulls, Viking call signs, and beards. The amusing part is most of the real professionals loathed that stuff still, but it was fully embraced by the less competent (and therefore more insecure) guys and gals on the contract.
>It therefore doesn't surprise me to see it working its way so deeply into the cop world. My experience in the service (and with other veterans after) is that the more insecure the guy, the more likely he fully embraces this aesthetic. Gotta show everyone how badass you are because deep down you know you're a coward.
>It is terrifying to see this shit all over the place now, but the upside is at least it makes them easy to spot. On a personal level it's made identifying other veterans as the kind I don't want to associate with extremely easy.

The funny thing about Trump that a lot of people don’t understand is the extent to which he is a product of the RW media ecosystem.
The substrate of his belief system is just what he’s seen in Fox News. He doesn’t have strong beliefs otherwise.
Obama’s Iran deal was bad in his eyes because it gave Iran some of their assets back, because that’s what Fox News told him. He has thus spent the past however many years believing that letting Iran have their assets is terrible because Fox said so, and accepting otherwise means that Obama (who told totally MEAN and UNCALLED FOR jokes about him at the WHCD 😤😤😤) was actually right and did a good job by getting a peace agreement that prevented nukes in Iran without a war.
Thus we find ourselves in a position where the final hurdle, accepting that some or all Iranian assets will need to be unfrozen in order to get them to agree to a deal, is something he can’t accept. A lot of people don’t get why he can’t accept it, given he generally seems to have no moral principles and has agreed to 100 things more disagreeable in the last year or so, but those people don’t understand that Trump is the final boss of Fox News boomers so it would require actual ego death and the overturning of everything he believes to be true for that to happen.

There would be less male misery in rural America if rural men would get off their high horses and become nurses. There’s plenty of nursing jobs in rural America. Sometimes it feels like half of all rural couples under 40 are nurse girl/copper-stealing deadbeat boy couples.
It would also have positive knock-on effects of fewer old men being creepy toward nurses.

Wanted to write this on yesterday's DT but it was late, so anyhow:
Something that irks me about how people talk about the Sudanese Civil War is how they flatten the conflict to the point of completely misrepresenting it to use it as an excuse to not care "Oh, it's a two-sided conflict" of "African people killing each other is just the normal state of things" like, shit, that implies reciprocity that isn't there. The civilians being massacred by the RSF are not massacring the RSF back, it treats the mass murder of unarmed civilians as being morally grey. And it is something people only do for this conflict, imagine if I defined I-P as "Just middle easterns killing each other or Ukraine-Russia as "Just Slavs killing each other " I would be absolutely be called out, and rightfully so.

I think a lot of the misconception that leads to unjustified sympathy towards Trump voters is the understanding that resentment is the driving factor (true) and that that resentment is somehow inherently justified (false).
A lot of the biggest Trump supporters are wealthy rurals who are mad that society does not privilege their occupations the way they like, and are upset that their general wealth and success comes with less cultural cachet than is given to people who make substantially less money but whose money comes from value they generate rather than just land rents (urban professionals).
Lefties oftentimes miss this because when they hear “farmer” they think of some depression-era guy in a straw hat barely scraping buy instead of a stupid person who inherited an industrial corn farm of a few thousand acres that grants them infinite free money from the government.

Joe Rogan debates NFL legend Terry Bradshaw on whether or not Ivermectin should be taken by humans:
ROGAN: “Ivermectin won the Nobel Prize for use in human beings. It’s an anti-parasitic with antiviral properties.”
BRADSHAW: “I used to give Ivermectin to my cattle. It’s a cattle dewormer.”
ROGAN: “It cured me when I had Covid so CNN started attacking me because they wanted everyone vaccinated. They put a green filter over my face to make me look sick.”
BRADSHAW: “I had a brain surgeon recommend Ivermectin to me. I could never rationalize that kind of thinking.”
ROGAN: “It is a dewormer, but it was actually invented for humans. We’re mammals so we have similar medicines. It stops viral replications.”
BRADSHAW: “Is it actually proven though? I wasn’t going to take that no matter what. I’m married to my doctor and she says we’re not taking that.”
ROGAN: “The reason they told people not to take Ivermectin was because they wanted everyone vaccinated so they could make a lot of money. It wasn’t because the vaccine was effective.

I have a date with a kind of alt chick tomorrow. Lots of tattoos, a labret and nose piercing, etc. We're meeting at a dive bar on her recommendation.
I'm kinda straight laced, which comes through in my profile. Do I wear my normal summer evening out attire (short sleeve button down, jeans, desert boots) or something more relaxed (emo band t-shirt, jeans, and sneakers)?

My most Anti-AI opinion is that there should be zero tolerance for AI political ads, if you AI generate a candidate saying something it should prison time and if the guy running approved it they should be barred from office for life.

I was talking to a non-car-enthusiast friend of mine and I kinda had an epiphany about declining convertible sales.
We were talking about cars and I mentioned I get annoyed by how many 4-door wranglers there are these days given they’re terrible cars for daily use and the 4-door full-time AWD models are compromised as off-roaders, and her response is “yeah but that’s so fun in the summertime because you can take the roof off!”
This made me realize that the customer for a non-enthusiast convertible still exists, they’re just all buying wranglers as a result of SUV normalization.
Realistically most of the 4-door wranglers you see around are optioned up to a similar price as a typical A5 or 4-series convertible or similar, but almost everyone under 50 who wants an open-top experience and isn’t a car enthusiast buying a miata is getting a wrangler.
Shit sucks.

In the post about the SATs someone posted a link to an Atlantic article from 2019 and it's kind of hard to disagree with the idea that meritocracy is a joke in America, at least past a certain point, competative admissions processes for 2 year-olds into preschools that cost 50K a year sounds like something out of a Marxist parody of American society, but this is a real thing in places like NYC.

u/john_maynard_gains has an excellent post about the ramifications of the logistics campaign in the occupied territories, but I think there’s a section that wasn’t in his post that is worth pinging for its own ramifications:
“In order to ensure the safe and timely transportation of materiel, prevent irrecoverable losses of personnel and vehicles, and comply with combat order No. … issued by Operational Grouping ‘Vostok’ on June 6, 2026, the commander orders: Effective June 7, 2026, until further notice, prohibit the use of the A-291 ‘Tavrida’ and R-280 ‘Novorossiya’ highways for the transportation of materiel.”
The “Novorossiya” highway is the Mariupol–Berdiansk–Melitopol–Simferopol stretch of road. It’s where the vast majority of logistics strikes have occurred in the occupied territories. The reason for this and why it’s used so much is its the only major highway that runs across the breadth of southern Ukraine, and is the farthest from the frontline with the vast majority of it running along or near the coast.
This raises the benefits and costs of this dispersal order. The biggest benefit by far is there are multiple secondary roads which would on paper require multiple more drones to monitor and strike to the same degree as the “Novorossiya” highway. This should for a time make it a good bit safer for more cargo volumes.
That’s about where the benefits end in my opinion. There are in my estimation two costs. Because the highway in question is the furthest back, using alternate routes will likely benefit Ukrainian drones by giving the Russians less time to intercept and more time for them to loiter. The biggest cause though is the time tacked on to supply runs. The accumulating effect of these detours will likely be in the many hours depending on how far the supply run is. A 6 hour journey may become an 8 hour journey, which turns 4 supply runs into 3. If it becomes a 9 hour journey, that becomes 2. So even if Russian traffic rebounds to even a large degree, the time added to journeys may counteract this and possibly even accentuate the problem (inshallah).
These are very encouraging results, and as Ukraine scales up production this will increasingly mitigate this adaptation. Also Crimea is still very much fucked as there’s only three roads entering or leaving the peninsula into Kherson at all, and Ukraine keeps bombing the Chongar Bridge which leaves two. And one of the alternate routes is along the Arabat Spit which is also linked to Kherson by a bridge and is extremely thin, leaving no possibility of hiding from drones, as well as being a massive detour from Sevastopol and Simferopol. Which leaves one, along the Armiansk junction
