I used to think that "not being transphobic" was a weird hack to find reasonable people, until I realised that Transphobia was just a Conspiracy Theory. It's not easy to reason with people who believe in Flat Earth either, but one of those ideas has traction with elites, so.
@Barnes_Joe@Telegraph 14/ As a result, Trump and Musk between them have effectively wrecked trust in US defence exports. They've shown how US military equipment can be weaponised in the most dramatic way possible, with complete disregard for the consequent loss of life.
@Barnes_Joe@Telegraph 9/ What Musk has demonstrated is that the Starlink kill switch is real, that he personally controls it, and that he's willing to use it for purely personal reasons, against the interests of his own company and country. This is utterly disastrous for SpaceX's credibility.
Every few years Elon unveils a new Mechanical Turk and I have to listen to the stupidest marks on planet earth incredulously demand that other people be suckers too lest they kill the fun
Most people roughly around 40 or younger have seen living standards get worse for their entire adult lives. Now the ruling class that inflicted that on them is badgering them to take part in World War III and wondering why there's no enthusiasm https://t.co/F2keUDhNWh
@Chloepaige2011 Even if this were true (c'mon, you can go prove it!), still doesn't change that putting someone in C3 instead of D4 doesn't change much. Shame you can't even stay on-topic, but oh well.
@Chloepaige2011@hellspatisserie Started on the wine early today, eh? Prostate is Urology and yes, women "do be pissing." And I think you'll find a lot of maternity wards have a bunch of able-bodied men walking about them doing husbandy, fathery stuff. Wonder what they get up to.
Latest: Zelenskyy tells reporters over WhatsApp that restrictions on Ukraine's Starlink systems remain. Interceptor drones can't function, logistics and operations hobbled. The maximum speed is 161 kph; "exceeding this limit causes the Starlink connection to cut out completely, resulting in the loss of the drone."
He says Ukraine has done tests to determine whether SpaceX is truly facing technical issues, as has been told Kyiv by the US side, or if this is a "deliberate operation... to restrict us, cut us off, and prevent us from defending ourselves and protecting our people, both at the front and among the civilian population."
He says Ukraine "sent a couple of vehicles equipped with Starlink terminals into European Union territory."
"They moved at speeds exceeding 180kph, and the Starlink systems worked perfectly. We have the relevant logs and evidence to prove this."
He adds: "The conclusion is clear: the restrictions are in effect within Ukraine but do not apply within the European Union. In other words, this is a planned operation."
@SunnivaGunn "Linguistics"? No, logistics. You think "guys" are cutting off their cocks to rape women, and that they'll be stopped by a piece of sani-tarp or a sign on the door. I really hope that this was a recent turn, because i dread to think of the harm you've caused through this brainrot
We’ve truly crossed the rubicon.
Here a Labour MP is seemingly advocating for trans people to be barred from accessing “mixed sex” emergency wards because it might provoke her bigoted mother to abuse them.
It’s not normal to be this brazenly and unapologetically bigoted.
Getting blown up by a Russian drone to protect my beautiful nation of privatised water companies, boarded up shops, cracked paving, and political-media class who think I’m a racist because I oppose a genocide.
No thanks mate.
@MitsuK4tt4 Oh yeah, absolutely, but even for the people who are new and don't *get* the etiquette, I think they should be able to get that it's not something to just blurt out from context, they just... Are more nosey than curious?
@EliaStellaria Ah i wouldn't worry too much about it at that scale. Same plan as for when the nukes fly for me - drink the nice booze we saved and call mum.
For smaller quakes though, that doesn't sound too bad, on/around bedding at least gives you some protection. Add an emergency bag?
