@TripleAJade That plane is amazing but what most pilots miss is that firing the forward cannon reduces airspeed by 4kts per second. Unless it is already at attack speed, it can risk stalling before they run out of bullets.

@stephmase22 Now I’m kind of curious as to what kind of porn they were watching? Given the history of Wall Street bets, it’s entirely possible it was loss porn.

If you’re old enough, you’ll remember in the 1980’s there was a campaign about abducted and missing children that claimed 300,000 kids annually were being criminally abducted.

It’s why we have pictures of kids on milk cartons.

Later it was discovered that the actual number was closer to 3000. The entire thing was a statistical lie that was set up by people who were fundraising off it; the real numbers were 354k custody abductions (parent doesn’t return kid), 451,000 runaways (left as a minor with a known person), 127k ‘throwaways’ - kids ejected from homes prior to 18 and 438k cases of short term missing persons, which typically was a kid that got lost in the woods and recovered in 48 hours.

My point is that the presentation of these 3000 criminal cases as the statistical norm resulted in a massive misdirection of attention away from the real tragedy – the sheer size of kids abandoned or running away from bad parenting.

Do I believe Kennedy? No the man is a serial liar who is lied many times over. Do I believe that there are a lot of migrant kids who are separated and processed wrongly? If the number truly was 127,000, this is an extraordinary claim that requires extraordinary proof beyond Sec. Chucklenuts garbling it to the media.

@boazbaraktcs @martin_casado You are correct in your three views, but to expect the economic equivalent of a nuclear weapon wouldn’t face a high risk of regulation as a category of goods is a bit naive.
