@BenZeisloft@pika_nekopanda Yes indeed. We used to have reverence and pause regarding the weight of that decision. We just kinda rattle off a soundbite about why we dropped the bomb today, but I really don't think the existential struggle we went through registers anymore. And that is very dangerous.
@pika_nekopanda What I remember of the reels was the shock and fury regarding Pearl Harbor, the grudging respect for the Japanese tenacity and courage, and the bafflement and nihilism of the Kamikaze. The American mind could not comprehend. Pacific theater offensive was the more interesting imo
@pika_nekopanda I used to watch PBS WWII reels when I was a kid when I didn't like the cartoons on. Probably watched these from 5 years of age to 15yo, when PBS stopped showing them, which is a real shame. I'm sure more fewer people would call "NAZI" if they knew what it really meant
@oelma__ Whatever, doesn't matter. You can be an ass and charge for it, or call it what it is, wear and tear. If they do it again or have had a history of this, just reconsider renewing the lease. See? Simple.
@ankoromochuu We feel this way about you and with the Russians as well. We'll leave the light on for them. I know for a fact, everyone in the south would love to share a vodka and bbq with them. Hopefully it will be possible soon.
@TheInsiderPaper Let's game this out. We don't get support, and the straight remains in Iranian hands. Every ship will pay a toll and help rebuild their weapons and nuclear program and we'll have to mow the lawn again in 5 years. Or The US liberates, rebuilds and keeps all the oil. Choose wisely
@JenniferJJacobs@JimLaPorta There is already a sunk cost in these drones, whether they are blown up or not. The good news is highly effective and cheaper options are on the way. It will take time and won't have much of an impact in our current military "adventures", but they're coming.
Jonathan Brown, a Professor at @Georgetown, responded to a post calling out Islamic rape gangs in the UK, saying, "Get over it."
He deleted the comment, but then DOUBLED DOWN using the SAME disgusting response when another user called him out.
Do you support this @Georgetown?
