I don’t get the argument here… Countries should just be nuking each other all the time because it’s not that bad? The US should have just dropped some nukes on Iraq and it would have been better?

Nukes kill children. Nukes destroy hospitals. Nukes give whole body third degree burns to everyone who isn’t immediately obliterated. Nukes irradiate the land and sky so much that we can date paintings based on the presence of isotopes spread by nukes in the ink. Nuclear warfare is a war against humanity.

You can’t convince other countries to form a military alliance with your country unless it has a half decent military. France isn’t going to agree to protect our country unless we can convince them we can protect theirs. In an ideal word, nobody would spend on defence but we don’t live in that world. Some amount of defence spending is unfortunately required. At least it sometimes does lead to societal improvements like GPS.

I also don’t believe the idea that the US can just instantly win a war. Vietnam, Afghanistan, and Iraq held their own. Russia thought they’d take over Ukraine in 3 days and it’s been 3 years and counting. These super powers like to claim they could take on the entire planet and win but then get embarrassed by a bunch of farmers.

Absolutely not. Nuclear weapons are an existential threat to humanity itself. I’m fine with more defence spending but building a bomb that can destroy the planet is to defence as building a coal plant is to energy. It’s destroying the future to protect the present.

Off the top of my head:

• Jailing/deporting people without trial
• Taking command of a state’s national guard
• Using the military to enforce domestic laws
• Controlling tarrifs
• Ending birthright citizenship

News articles are saying Medialab, imgur’s parent company, is using AI to moderate posts and it upset people.

The tomatoes growing in that apartment is great level design. I had the same reaction of “how could these plants survive without people?” and then you get jumped and it’s like “oh, should have known.” The apartment also has a door you can’t open that’s opened after you get jumped which explains where the people came from. I remember appreciating the details (after struggling to not die).

Everytime I use ffmpeg…

Yeah they’ve always taken a hard stance on using mods. It’s still crazy to me that they went after a mod that was used heavily by their massive RP community. When I played FFXIV for a few months, I learned most of their players do their grinding outside of dungeons.

Just wait until you hear what Stalin did to his critics!

“Give me a ten word poem”, they said.
Fuck that!

Oh they meant CUbic Meter. 1 cubic meter = 1,000 liters. So they should have put 1250 kL or 1,250,000 L

HECK YEAH MFER I GOT ALL THREE AROOOOOO!

“Have you noticed gum has gotten mintier lately?”

I’d also add that if someone is putting a lot of time pressure on the deal or you’re told to not discuss the deal with other people, it’s probably a scam.

You also don’t have armor, a sword, or a horse but there are crates you can use to get them! It’s important that the standard library not contain tools 90% of knights will require because writing and mainting tools is difficult so we should stick to the tried and true method of relying on some random guy in Nebraska to do it for us!

Man Carrying Thing has a sketch on male loneliness epidemic. Someone tries explaining social issues to a guy who doesn’t care about anyone but himself but starts to listen when he hears the word “male” added to them. Male lonliness, male climate change, male war. The guy now cares deeply about these social issues (because they affect him) except he thinks all the problems are caused by women not sleeping with him.

I had the opposite TIL when I learned other cultures only apologize for wrong doings and not as a sign of sympathy.

Lemmy has a lot of downvoters now. I try not to let it bother me! Thanks for contributing.

For those who wish to steer clear of all kinds of Gooners until the situation cools down, there are plenty of other Arsenal fan sites without any misleading connotations, like Arseblog.

I would have already assumed a site called “Arseblog” would be full of gooners.

Right, but that’s like saying you can fix a broken space heater by wearing a sweater.
