  • Harris has a comfortable lead in the electoral college right now.

    2016 DNC Campaign literally moments before disaster.

    I just came from the utterly brain dead “Harris cares about Gaza” meme post , so I can safely start labeling posts like these as hopium and accepting the status quo.

    People really out here thinking the money from the biggest PAC is gonna both allow the dems to win and somehow convince them to actually pass significant legislation to improve literally anything for the middle class beyond token handouts and continuing to repair what Trump destroyed in like only 3 months of hime being in office.

    Dunno how Republican turnout is gonna be, but Democrats are about to get a kick in the nuts from all the constituents they willingly chose to ignore. Might still win, but thinking it’s going to be easy is a false hope.




  • Pakistan proved AIM-120s are still king in the air for MRAAMs back in 2019 against India’s Su-30s.

    Obviously there’s a lot of skill and technique involved, but you get a pretty nice edge with the range. Apparently the IAF said that the pilots couldn’t get a shot off without first entering the no escape zone, or at the very least felt uncomfortable getting locked up before they could lock the F-16s.

    Although now that China has brought back LRAAMs, it’ll be cool to see what the USA makes as the successor to the AIM-54.




  • Those who never left and watched their fellow Gazans get shot and bombed in the “safe” corridors will probably not choose to move. And of course the IDF doesn’t accept surrenders considering they shot their own hostages.

    Imagine your final ethical dilemma in life is to choose whether to die of starvation or see how far you can run from a hailstorm of AGMs, Shelling, Missiles, and gunfire.

    Reminds me of the video of those 3 teenagers slowly walking amongst the rubble only for an entire guided rocket to be dropped on them. The one in the front miraculously survived the blast and kept walking for another few yards before he was bombed too.




  • Explorer has had so many dependencies attached to it that if even one of them sneezes, the entire desktop environment crashes and has to restart.

    Actually insane when you think about it. Why the hell is a file explorer the root process of the desktop???

    I’ve only ever forced stopped thunar once and it was because I was messing with some thumbnail settings. Naturally the rest of my system worked as normal, as well as the other thunar windows open lol.











  • Previous elections in the region have been marked by violence, boycotts and vote-rigging. The BJP was able to come to power in a coalition with a local party following the last election in 2014, but the government collapsed in 2018 before statehood was scrapped.

    Pro-independence militants have been fighting the central government since 1989. Many Muslim Kashmiris would favor an independent unified territory, or to join Pakistan.

    It was pretty bad in 2019, people were pissed that the local government was kneecapped by a nationalist already publicly known for causing a massacre.

    They also had a (failed) air skirmish with Pakistan and lost a pilot, which they also permanently nuked the media to cover up.
