True and say what you want about American wars, they don’t take territory for themselves. Russia on the other hand
- Comment on [deleted] 22 hours ago:
Ukraine was invaded, twice, with Russia as the aggressor. That isn’t Ukraine’s fault and they have every right to kick Russian ass as long as it takes for Russia to pull out or negotiate. Both will be politically painful so the war goes on.
And if you’re in a shooting war with Russia, who better to ask for weapons than the US? Even old outdated US equipment was designed to take on Soviet equipment so yeah you want them as friends to give your nation a fighting chance and prove to Russia and the international community that they won’t be pushovers.
And look at NATO. They are bumping defense GDP to 5%. Finland, Poland, Estonia and others are withdrawing from agreements that forbid the placement of anti-personnel mines. Even if this war ends tomorrow, nobody seems to think Russia will be satisfied for long

Many people I know agree with deporting illegal immigrants and see it as a problem that had been simply ignored for far too long. I found an article talking about deportation flights as early as 2023 (I’ll try to find and link it here) so it’s not new for the Trump admin. He just upped the scale and publicity.
There are disagreements though, mostly with how it’s being carried out. If the agents are unidentifiable as feds some day someone is going to fight back, or a third party will intervene thinking they are getting mugged.
And there is a big lack of due process to make sure those arrested actually require deportation. No way they are all 100% legit with no mistakes. If everything is above board more due process and transparency shouldn’t be an issue if your case is solid.

- Comment on If no government shall bare arms against its own citizens. Then what is happening in LA? 3 weeks ago:
State govts can mobilize their national guard. The guard is the only military component that can be “deployed” on American soil for combat or civil support like riot control or disaster relief
Active duty and reserve bases exist in the US of course but are generally forbidden from being used for combat operations or enforcing domestic policies on US soil. It’s called Posse Comitatus

Idk why but when I see deleted by creator I think it’s funny to imagine God personally zapping it from existence but they still leave that so everyone knows it was them

- Comment on Besides money/capitalism, why are tech companies trying to push AI text generators over search engines? 1 month ago:
It seems like everyone wants to get on board and try it in case it takes off.
If it works they want to be the first to get really good at it and if it doesn’t the normal search engines are still there to fall back on.
At the moment it feels like the 3D tv hype. A lot of cool technologies that were expensive and ultimately not worth it. Maybe that will change as time goes on.

- Comment on Is Catholic dating culture often mistaken for incel-style pessimistic desperation? 1 month ago:
High risk high reward I guess
In theory you’re not supposed to have pre-marital sex (it happens all the time) and dating would tend to be more serious than casual. Going steady vs hooking up. So yeah I imagine having a relationship not work out carries more weight
But once you get past that you get a long lasting marriage, a family and all the positives that come with that

Personally I get more of a reaction from smelling diesel exhaust and smoke at the same time
I’ve never associated dead people smells with food though.

Most cell towers have generators but only about 48 hours of fuel. So you might have ways to charge your phone but it might not have a network to connect to
You don’t need a cell signal for GPS signal to work so having some offline maps like OrganicMaps or OSMand can still be useful

Nope. Watching a movie about Thor or something is different. It only doesn’t work when you begin to worship Thor over God, which breaks the first commandment

Yep, and all US Citizens have the same rights
Like anything else you can’t expect your political opponents to do the heavy lifting for you.
You want to protest a thing, you go protest. You want 2A you go buy a rifle and get good. From there choose the path you’re willing to follow. Nothing is stopping you but you.

New neighbors: Wow being in the country is so scenic and beautiful we can’t wait to be done with city life and build a house here
Also new neighbors: Put in asphalt driveway, fences, and a yard with more exterior lighting than a stadium

The US mil will certainly be negatively effected in the short term if China were to cut/be cut from manufacturing. This substack article is by a retired navy officer who explains it better than I can
