halfpipe [they/them]

It was deeply boring. One billionaire sucking off another for getting shot at for what felt like a full hour, then Trump rambling on with Musk going “uh huh” “yeah” every minute or so.

I keep thinking the situation can’t get any more vile , but it keeps happening

lol, the post-collapse Zoomer warlords would cook and eat him

There’s very little engagement to be had from the site anymore. There’s a narrow range of acceptable discourse, and anyone going off message is quickly censored.

The news subreddits got hit worst of all. It’s pure propaganda , and you can only read so many comments about the great Biden economy and the removed Russian orc before your eyes start to glaze over.

Look at the rates of birth defects and cancer in Falluja to see the answer to that one.

It sounds good, but then the Canadian program also sounded good, before they amended it to allow the state to coerce disabled and indigent people into execution.

Yeah , the big advantage of drones was that they were supposed to be cheap , but the defense companies fixed that a long time ago.

There’s also been bloat from only ever using them in the war on terror, against farmers and shepherds who could never shoot back, but mostly it was the profit margin. Which is why US drones now cost 30 million to 100+ million , so expensive that you can’t afford to lose them.

The weirdest part of all this is watching those daily casualty updates by the OSINT guys.

Every day they claim that another 500+ Russians were killed and one Ukrainian stubbed his toe, and they’ve kept on claiming that all summer, even as Ukraine was doing WW1 style assaults into minefields and trench lines, without air support, and with a severe disadvantage in artillery. Those guys must be getting fucking slaughtered.

Reminds me of the guy who tried to break into a secure building with a gun , became frustrated by the bullet proof glass, and then hid in a field in the middle of his shoot-out with the cops to post some updates about his shoot-out.

This kind of guy is just going to become a thing in American culture now, I guess.
