We’re fast approaching the point at which there are no more bad ideas. But yeah for now, it’s best to try and prevent any major incident while not letting the authoritarians win. Countries do not come out the same way when either of those things happens. And the chance that it’s a change for the better is remote.

Okay, and I’m telling you that’s not something you can do quickly. There’s a reason new dictators usually stand up a separate force.

Eh, not exactly. That would be telegraphed literal years in advance as they would have to entirely rebuild the officer corps to be loyalists to them specifically. Right now the military leadership puts a lot of stock in the Constitution, so much so that the last time Trump tried to order them to go after BLM protestors, they not only refused the order, they then sent a memo to the entire force reminding them of the exact wording of their oath.

Tell me what year exactly the Soviets or Chinese practiced the workers owning the means of production?

It’s a cold calculus but letting them kill someone first means the army has the moral and narrative high ground when the Army Rangers black bag these guys at 3 in the morning.

It’s also true. It’s a great way to bring home the reality to people who still think climate science is about preserving some wetlands while we continue as normal.

It’s still funny.

The handle. It’s a satire account

I’m not even a boomer and that hurts.

Jokes on you I zoomed in and out on the original and now the can appears white no matter what.

Americans would shrug it off as a foreign problem. We’re idiots like that.

They do tell their anxiety patients to just not worry about it. And people wonder why marijuana is so popular…

Nice try Big Data you’ll never find out I’m from Maryland!

This is just perfect because the Maryland flag was already a Unity flag post civil war. Now it’s a Pride Unity Flag.

I am, and I endorse this message.

It can be both. I think it really depends on the specific cat and person. My cat “barks” for needs, “whines” when he loses us, and meows for attention or to get vocalization back. I think attentive cat owners probably know their cat and because it’s adaptive behavior it’s not the same across the board.

Or, they could do 6x8 with one obviously extra at the end. But this is a funny not a rational thing.

Because Still Lasers aren’t lethal, duh!

I’m not so sure. There’s plenty of accounts of ancient warriors using ridden horses as transportation. It probably has more to do with a chariot being more compatible with horse/soldier training and soldier gear at the time. Riding a horse into battle takes a lot of unique training and gear, and camels were the better option for a lot of the latitude around North Africa/Middle East, where you had ancient empires with the ability to research technology.

The idea that horses had to embiggen, I think, comes from the Persians. They wanted the world’s first heavy cavalry and they certainly needed bigger horses for a fully armored rider. But light cavalry has evidence dating back to at least 5,000 B.C. thanks to the proto mongols. (Central Asian tribes before they were united)
