I’m not familiar with this. Can you give a “for example?”

And this time IDF didn’t shoot them!

Btw, thank you for creating. It makes my world a little nicer experiencing new art.

Times change a few years later, but I wouldn’t bank on that non-escalation theory here.

Korean Air flight 007

I thought the exact same thing! At the time, I’d heard rumors that the entirety of USSR’s air defense was smoke and mirrors. This isn’t helping to refute those decades old rumors, if there is anything to refute.

Then again, with that same theory, he could just eliminate Congress altogether before the voting starts for impeachment. Or place specific justices on house arrest before they vote. Basically, the idiotic idea of a president not beholden to laws is mostly the same as a despotism if the “president” wishes it to be.

I love the autotldr bot, but I’m glad I clicked through on this one. This guy was the sort of hero I’ve hoped existed in the modern world, not just history books. The article does include a photo his wife took of his torture bruises, so be warned (I don’t consider it particularly graphic, but I am not you).

Same. Upvote if I think it’s important for others to see.

I mean, if they pull it off, I’ll be impressed, but it seems like the “why?” is something they should answer before this project is undertaken. Sure, it could be used to power a moon base or something else, but I would expect that need for a power source to be the lead, not the power source. And if they don’t really know why yet – it’s an extremely expensive solution looking for a problem.

A brave man. I wish more would be like him, or at least listen to him and consider what he’s saying.

You cannot have… my coveted… iiiice… creeeam… baaar!

Agreed. Narrator does sound like Ren.

Heh, I see what y’all did there…

But if it truly is superior, won’t I as a consumer favor those recordings with spatial whatever it is by listening to them more, thereby encouraging the producers with more money because of the increased streaming over the others? Surely making such recordings a favored class where payments are concerned is just a form of double dipping?

I love those. They’re underrated. Crackle is pretty nice, too.

I’m surprised nobody has mentioned Dropkick Murphys’ The Season’s Upon Us yet.

It looks like Snoo’s drunk uncle. What’s with the 5 o’clock shadow?

It isn’t so much the volume of typing, it’s the typing a thought-out answer to all those various articles and responses that seems curious. I type at a pretty fast rate, myself, but I don’t consider someone else’s comments and think up (and then type) fact based replies in that timeframe. My comment about typing speed was more me implying that a 3-day-old account that is responding that quickly to that many people on so many subjects in such a short amount of time – well, it walks and quacks like a bot.

Hmmm, how on earth is it possible for you to have replied to 26 different posts in the last 60 minutes, across multiple articles, many with multiple paragraphs. Fastest typer in the world?

That’s a great solution to win an election if it were easy to find a golden candidate that people like and can’t be portrayed as less than ideal by the other side. Right now, I’ll happily settle and vote for less than perfect if that candidate is the only one not courting fascism. And I certainly won’t go throwing my vote to someone else just because the only guy standing between democracy and tyranny isn’t checking all my boxes. No, sir. Democracy is too important to throw away just because “I don’t love one candidate and actively fear the other, so I just won’t bother.” Democracy is my single-issue this election. Get out and vote, because this time, democracy is cracking, and it is at risk of collapse to fascism.
