This is also how I feel launching the equivalent of the entire Soviet Northern Fleet Aviation's stockpile conventional AShM at a naval task force.

How it feels to launch a "middling NATO member's entire inventory"'s worth of AMRAAMs at one enemy strike package.

It is time for the Ace Combat. Let us see if the mute psychopath with 500 missiles can defeat the loathsome forces of Bad Country.

It's not even about scorn! It's the incredulousness if some people at others who haven't heard it. I'm sure the song is perfectly fine but it should also be understandable that people haven't heard it.

This is mystifying to me because after looking at the various metrics - YouTube views, Spotify plays - this song appears to be the equivalent of an second-quartile Taylor Swift song in overall popularity, and I assure you I don't know all of those either.

Sorry, but this is outmoded. You can be entirely plugged into politics, tv, music and never hear this song. Charts are based on radio airtime in a world where everyone has a digital music subscription they curate.

If you're not actively seeking out new music how is it finding you? I literally never go anywhere that is playing music from honest-to-god radio. I still have not heard this song.

Whatever you do, don't smoke an entire brisket at a job interview, it's a lot of equipment to bring in, it takes a really long time to do it right and those conference rooms have notoriously poor ventilation

Strelkov perpetually lives in a world where 2026 is somehow the direct same as 1919. Next he'll be warning about NATO and Japan occupying Vladivostok.

Honestly I think France and others haven't gone far enough. At some point you have to defend yourself and not simply fold to nuclear blackmail. Ukraine has shown that you can strike Russia in myriad ways without sparking nuclear war.

I think we should strive for AI conversations that mirror greek mythologies. Maybe the AIs are super horny and also hate each other despite being related. Maybe instead of Roko's Basilisk, there's a number of basilisk who are cultivating their own worshipers to attack the worshipers of other AI!

Breathtaking how people are locked into using AI to create images like this rather than spending 30 seconds on Google Maps and the print screen key. They can now spend that 30 seconds they saved responding to people dunking on them in the replies I guess.

when I tried to explain she just kept laughing. I
told her just to try it so she did but it declined

god it's so funny that their takeaway from Afghanistan was "ground forces don't work" instead of 'you can't do much until you adjust the geopolitical actors backing them'
