In other news, just like the post office, the US military continues losing billions per day. They just spend it on salaries and equipment! What idiots!

ALL HANDS ABANDON MEME! REPEAT, ALL HANDS ABANDON MEME!

Are you just trying to bait me or are you actually interested in a conversation? I’m happy to discuss further, but right now I feel like your goal is just to rile me up for internet points.

Literally almost every technological advancement we have today is because someone was trying to figure out how to kill someone more efficiently. From the slingshot and bronze sword all the way up to nuclear weapons and stealth planes. It’s not a boomer concept at all (nor am I one), and it surely will not be limited to that generation. See also: drone warfare, using aviation tactics very similar to WW1. What is old is new again.

You say “we live in modern times” like that somehow precludes our primitive tendencies, but that’s just ignorance, in my opinion. It’s like a beauty pageant contestant wanting world peace. It is a wonderful aspirational goal, but it’s not exactly realistic, either.

Cars are like onions; they make you cry.

Sadly, war fuels a lot of innovation, and it’s been that way for thousands of years. While I don’t like war and wish people could just live and let live, yes, we will need people to run the manufacturing lines, companies to mine and refine the raw materials, etc. Many of those lines were running minimally, if at all, because we already had the warehouse of old stuff. Now that we don’t (or at least have less), there’s room for more. And that in turn will provide the money for those companies to develop better weapons. Again, nothing really new. It’s a tale as old as time.

He’s is gonna go right to the front!

I’m on the Williams/Sainz/Albon hype train and I don’t want to leave. I’m honestly really excited at the turnaround Williams is having under Vowles and how it could shake up the grid. They seem to be making all the right moves lately, and with a new title sponsor, they’ll have money to develop and ideally not spend it on car repairs.

“Completely humiliate Russia by giving Ukraine our old stuff sitting on shelves that costs us basically nothing but the shipping to Europe; not risking any of our soldiers; restarting munitions production lines to refill our stock with new, even better weapons that fuels US job growth and innovation” should be enough already. The amount we’ve given Ukraine is less than just a few days cost of the Iraq and Afghanistan campaigns. It’s like the deal of the millennium. We should be sending Ukraine everything we can.

I bet she lives in Canada, too. Eh?

It’s Steam Deck verified. Install Steam and Proton and go for it.

Yep. Treebeard is taking them to the western edge of the forest. Pippin tells him to turn around and go south. “The closer we are to danger, the further we are from harm.”

Original borders, NATO membership, and the return of nuclear weapons. Fuck Russia and their agent Trump. Get out of Ukraine.

I think you only need the controller or phone app for setup or config changes. Though it is easier, in my opinion, to just run a controller. You can (at least last time I checked) still self host one if you like. If you’re just doing network config and monitoring, you don’t need much in terms of performance.

Yep. This is the way. G4 Pro is pretty good, too.

Duuuuuh. (This wasn’t meant as a dig at you just … yeah)

“States Rights” is a dog whistle. It’s the solution when it suits them and the enemy when it does not.

Yes, the Nazi has nothing better to do than play video games. I fucking wish that was all that asshole was enthralled by.

Might as well squander any potential leads we may have had on the next generation of technology because everyone knows only next quarter matters.

/s for the fucking smooth brains reading this

Not even close. It’s better than launch, but not by much. Still some infuriating workflows.

The cruelty is the point. It’s ridiculous. How can people be so driven by hate and greed to do such a thing?
