I dunno I prefer not being murdered for practicing (or even converting from) the wrong religion, dying of plague or famine, or being enslaved for economic convenience. But maybe that’s just me.
Nyoka@lemm.eeto News•Salvadoran president says he won’t return wrongly deported man to U.S.5·4 months agoOn that, we are in complete agreement. We will do whatever it takes if it’s feasible and the admin actually wants the person back.
Pretending any nuclear nation couldn’t get one man (or his corpse) back from a Central American prison is a farce.
Nyoka@lemm.eeto News•Salvadoran president says he won’t return wrongly deported man to U.S.221·4 months agoThere are literally photos of delta guys in skate helmets doing this during Operation Acid Gambit.
Let’s fucking go, then.
Nyoka@lemm.eeto World News•The world reacts to Trump's sweeping tariffs: 'No basis in logic'English2·4 months agoAnd the United States won in Vietnam.
Clearly drawn is hard to prosecute (and one might argue shouldn’t be prosecuted, since obscenity laws are just… weird). However, the stuff that is photorealistic can be treated, legally, like the real thing.
Fun fact it’s already illegal. If it’s indistinguishable from the real thing it’s a crime.
Nyoka@lemm.eeto /r/50501 Mirror@50501.chat•Why Millennials aren't protesting, from a MillennialEnglish6·4 months agoThey never do seem to wise up to the con, though. That’s where some of the feelings of helplessness come from.
One extra note I would like to chime in to add: It’s a lot easier to fit tons of coverage (side armors, esp. soft ones) into bigger carriers. You can get LBT-6094s and Eagle MMACs used on eBay for about the same cost as a newer carrier that will be harder to armor up. Nylon doesn’t really go bad.
Nyoka@lemm.eeto politics •Trump’s trash defense secretary is ready to go to war with U.S. allies5·6 months agoThis is the way.
Nyoka@lemm.eeto Europe@feddit.org•Donald Trump ridicules Denmark and insists US will take GreenlandEnglish2·7 months agoIntra-alliance fighting has always been a concern because of Greece and Turkey. Article 5 is probably the only reason they haven’t already gone to war. But yeah the US would fight all of European NATO that answers the call, win a pyrrhic victory, and destabilize Europe for the next 100 years.
Nyoka@lemm.eeto Lemmy Shitpost•Why do Americans always presume that everyone speaks English3·8 months agoI wonder if there was a time in which a similar sign was written in Latin.
Nyoka@lemm.eeto NonCredibleDefense@sh.itjust.works•If you weren't prepared for this moment then you haven't been paying attentionEnglish5·9 months agoI know they specifically mentioned temperament in the selection section of one of the sniper manuals. Not sure about special operations.
Honestly, most special operations selection processes seem to have very little to do with the actual what most Tier 1 units actually do. CAG, for example, has a 40 mile solo nav course as part of their selection.
Nyoka@lemm.eeto politics •Kamala Harris suddenly becomes favorite to win in top election forecast5·9 months agoThere have been a few articles on “herding” which I didn’t even know about before this election. I am no pollster, but it sounds like there’s a huge incentive to protect the reputation of the polling firm (“it’s a draw, so we can’t be wrong”) vs reporting numbers they think might make news.
Nyoka@lemm.eeto NonCredibleDefense@sh.itjust.works•If you weren't prepared for this moment then you haven't been paying attentionEnglish9·9 months agoYeah, they are sort of just the worst in JSOC (although one wonders about the CIA direct action groups). But between this shit, the Nazis in the KSK, and Australian helicopter musical-chairs, it really does seem like there’s something about special operations that attracts the worst a country has to offer.
Nyoka@lemm.eeto NonCredibleDefense@sh.itjust.works•If you weren't prepared for this moment then you haven't been paying attentionEnglish17·9 months agoIn their defense, it turns out that a lot of the insanity and violent mood swings are related to brain damage from firing 10.3s indoors constantly.
But on the other hand what the fuck.
Nyoka@lemm.eeto Pleasant Politics@slrpnk.net•“They stole an election”: Former Florida senator found guilty in “ghost candidates” scandal8·10 months agoSocialist, green, and marijuana legalization parties make sense on paper. Of course that’s only as long as you ignore how votes are counted, where the money comes from, and their actual listed accomplishments.
Nyoka@lemm.eeto Math Memes@lemmy.blahaj.zone•if this post gets 2187 upvotes i will post again with 3 times as many trianglesEnglish6·11 months agoLet the fractal be without end.
Looks like the Minneapolis police department was wrestled into a consent decree with the state too, so they won’t get to go back to choking people to death without any pushback.
And I heard some people complain binding them up in duplicate was a waste of tax dollars.
