  Sure, but they don’t have infinite resources either, so ther probable goal is to just make the usa go away.

  Remember, armchair generaling isn’t an exact science.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨People who grew up with Vietnam and the Cold War, is Iran going to be the new vietnam or just a semi cool war?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  IMO, most things point at usa will withdraw in under a month. “No boots on the ground”.

  That doesn’t mean trumpty dumpty won’t want to go waring again soon, but it might be harder to go back to Iran a third time as there is much less “reason” to do so.

  In a soc(k)?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Attention!⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Everything works perfectly fine, and on top of that all the robot spam calls stopped!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨oh fuck 😨⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I thought about that insanely long text file you opened in notepad, adjusted the page height and just hit and hold down “pgdown” and bam you had a handmade video running with IIRC a ski jump and someone hanging on the wall in the end as a hunt trophy. It was a long time ago 🖖🏻

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨£25 for a cookie? What the baffling luxury bakery boom tells us about Britain⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  The old classic: boss, we sold 10% less cookies last month!

  Boss: up the price 10% and lay off 10% of the workforce!

  Rince & repeat.

  Usually it’s the Tories that don’t like consent.

  Is an ASCII video okay?

  Anyone remember the startrek ASCII video?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨..?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  You have like 1/20 in rhetoric. What a lame thing to say lol.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨..?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Not at all, and you’re not the first that tries to denaturate or change the definition of the word tankie.

  A tankie is pro authoritarian, but instead of being pro fascism its being pro those who called themselves left like stalin lenin etc

  So it describes the “left” Maga if you want.

  I sure do understand why tankies would want to make believe the “tankie” is just like “woke” but it isn’t, it’s calling them out, showing that they are not leftists but authoritarians (so again, basically fascists).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨..?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s usually how the tankies try to convey it, but otherwise I haven’t seen that argument.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨..?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Are you in some way pro Putin, Stalin, Lenin, Mao, Kim ? Then you might be a tankie.

  If you think they are/were despicable mass-murderous dictators then you’re not.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Current events dictate that I post this.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Being called a smug liberal by a tankie who’s wrong: so recurrent.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Current events dictate that I post this.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Ok tankie

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's literally science⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  What about precision? When I select that specific text part, even a bad mouse makes me feel rage.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's literally science⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Make soft careful swings to 90° (like from bottom and up til it’s in front of you, not high up), just a couple the first day.

  I use a 16 kilo one, I only have that one, it’s heavy as fuck but very effective for me.

  Good luck, and please do tell how it went!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's literally science⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Makes sense! I strongly dislike trackballs/track-“nipples” though. Maybe it’s a configuration issue, a mouse is so quicker and precise no?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's literally science⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Then you stop using them and the back hurts even more.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's literally science⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I have a tkl to get some close mouse space, how do you deal with it using a split? Where do you put the mouse?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's literally science⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Fleeing into the woods.

  Curious about the chairs too though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's literally science⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I did planking for about a thousand years (or so it felt) and it didn’t really help at all. What did help massively was dumbbell swings! In just a couple of days my back pain was like 90% gone, totally gone today.

  I’m quite tall, so YMMV.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's literally science⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Time to up the resolution

  What’s this shit pot-le I hear so much about?

  Eyes perfectly in the middle.

  True, but I thought it be for lemons because of the tiny ‘pyramid’.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨challenge: impossible⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Saddamising is illegal in Kentucky.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨No you don't sit on it. In the olden days people used this to make orange juice⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Looks more like for lemon juice.

  Fantastic book, line a comics but in text.

  He also invented “the metaverse” that moron zuckerberg just stole, poured billions into just to get legs to the avatars.

  BTW The Diamond Age and Cryptonomicon are masterpieces too IMO.

  He’s the two.
