  That’s where I am too. That’s why I’m confused. The Articles of Confederation failed horribly.

  If they ignore election results then they’re illegitimate and the country is free to descend into chaos.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does the US really have no instruments in case a newly elected president immediatelly and openly exposes he's a nazi?⁩ ⁨⁨15⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  It is though?

  And then he instead advocates that senators should be moved into the House of Representatives. The House thinks it’s great. So they never start an impeachment.

  Except most of the Anti Federalists weren’t arguing against the specifics of the model, they were arguing against a centralized government at all. Which had literally just failed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does the US really have no instruments in case a newly elected president immediatelly and openly exposes he's a nazi?⁩ ⁨⁨18⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  To be fair, that’s a piece of paper. If the President violates that and isn’t impeached then there’s nothing physical to stop him.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does the US really have no instruments in case a newly elected president immediatelly and openly exposes he's a nazi?⁩ ⁨⁨18⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Impeachment. That’s it.

  But you’re also forgetting that in the US states have a significant amount of power. For example the President cannot cancel elections. If a state cancels elections they just don’t get counted.

  There’s a lot in that particular area that shields people from federal government stupidity.

  And Meta, X, Alphabet, etc…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Yep, you did.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s also true though. We’ve seen people try. We’ve seen how authoritarians coop it and do horrible shit. But we’ve never actually seen communism.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The fact that this is a real image is infuriating⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Which is about how AI targeting goes these days.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The fact that this is a real image is infuriating⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Facial recognition is pretty easily tricked though. Just because it’s working on the Russians does not mean it will work everywhere.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The fact that this is a real image is infuriating⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m fully aware of what drones are capable of.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The fact that this is a real image is infuriating⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Unless it’s set to shoot at anything moving it’s going to be pretty shit. And once the targeting is that wide open you just get a tennis ball machine and waste it’s ammo.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Teen denies twice setting wire traps on bike path despite alleged video⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Unless he’s mentally disabled he’s more than old enough to know this will hurt people, and badly. It should be charged as attempted murder. And if you think that’s too much you should know putting a wire across the road or trail to disable gunners and other people standing out of a vehicle, is literally a military ambush tactic.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Unmatched Southern military genius⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Iirc the artillery dug into the muddy ground and ended up mostly over shooting the union lines. But the other reality they were dealing with was the advent of industrial warfare. As you point out rifles were suddenly as easy to use as smoothbores, making infantry a lot more accurate and giving them a lot more range. The Civil War sits at the very start of a period of very bad times for infantry assaults, that wouldn’t be solved until tanks were invented in World War 1. Even the generals of World War 1 who grew up watching this problem become worse over their career, could not figure out a good way to solve this problem with solely infantry and artillery. I don’t think Lee could be expected to come up with an answer that generals with 50 more years of experience in industrial warfare were unable to find.

  Lmao. GoW live service? Fucking hell it’s video games by committee.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do I realistically get out of the US?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Job visa or student visa

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon goes on a first date⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Anime is such an innocuous interest too though. It’s not like hunting, or veganism, where you may be asking someone to make a big change in their life. If she has a problem with something like that then she’s going to be looking for someone to be with a lot longer than green text guy.

  Oh I already heard a candidate! Nordlandia.

  Haha but that name came from history.

  Oh we’ll probably an ia ending on a few of those and throw some extra vowels in for no reason at all. (Looking at you Bible Belt)

  America is now called Greater Vinland.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trømp⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  English is considered one of the hardest languages to learn because we have rules. And then we don’t use them. It doesn’t help that it’s actually something like a 5 language mash up.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trømp⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Too late English already dragged Danish into the alley. We’re getting some new words! Woooooooo!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Vibes based cooking⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Onion is my favorite expression of these differences. It’s completely different between a stew, fresh, pan fried, grilled, or reduced with sugar.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Vibes based cooking⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  And now the rabbit is in the corner too, what animal are you?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Vibes based cooking⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  And the taste changes with salt, with heat, with boiling, with cold extraction (like an overnight marinade). You really just have to experiment.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Vibes based cooking⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m the rabbit. I also do a lot of tasting.

  You may scream now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are there any games like Starfield?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s always Star Citizen… :)

  Okay but really I agree that Starfield is a mess. The thing is, nobody else has really delivered on the whole package yet. Ground and space combat, trading, and a narrative.

  Mass effect and Freelancer gave two different sides of the coin and I think they’re the next closest.
