I am a boomer on Social Security, and I approve this message.

[ChristianReactionaryDad @C_R_Dad]

Welfare recipients should not vote. This includes boomers on social security.

I see you

[The British Patriot @TheBritLad]

I think my account is withheld in USA.

Each time I attempt to reply to a post about US politics it says “Please try again”.

Americans if you can see me from the US please comment 👋

Name a Vietam War movie where the US are unironically, seriously portrayed as the good guys.

I'll wait.

No. ToT refers to firing multiple salvos on different trajectories timed so that all the salvoes hit at the same time. It is NOT about skipping ranging shots; it is about having multiple salvos in the air at the same time. It is a force multiplier that allows a single battery to have the instantaneous impact of multiple batteries.

[Clint Warren-Davey @Clint_Davey1]

The ToT (Time on Target) barrage is one of those underrated American innovations.

Usually the battery needs to fire a few ranging shots, have the observer report back to adjust, taking some time. This gives the target time to displace.

American artillery would instead do exact calculations to ensure that the barrage hit almost without warning, not waiting for multiple ranging shots.

Too little; too late. Massive remigration and immigration bans are the only way.

The biggest mistake Britain has ever done is allowing foreigners in.

There, an American fixed it for you.

@TheLastCockney The biggest mistake Britain has ever done is allowing foreigners in positions of power

The biggest mistake by far

If you could change one thing about medieval history, what would it be?

[Tired of Lies @TomSchaub6]

Literacy tests would be a better idea. Freeze out the bottom quintile and sweep up the dementia indirectly at the same time.

@RealMarkKennedy @Cernovich Someone needs to call this out. Auschwitz was in Poland, liberated by Soviet Red Army. No US soldiers involved, or even within hundreds of miles. This narrative is impossible.

[Hard Pass @HardPass4]

Very confused as to how he thought he wouldn’t get caught.

[Tired of Lies @TomSchaub6]

No expert here, but I don’t believe Poland-Lithuania ever included ALL of that (even in their own minds). EG, Crimea was part of an semi-independent Khanate under Ottomans until Russian conquest. Also, the Ukraine Steppe wasn’t under their direct control, only indirect via ‘registered’ Cossacks. And the independent-minded Cossacks were playing Pol-Lith off against Russia, with eastern Cossacks more affiliated with Tsar.

[Clint Warren-Davey @Clint_Davey1]

That's not a hypothetical country.

That's the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.

[Tired of Lies @TomSchaub6]

I believe Anselm was the first to articulate this notion, based upon medieval notions of retributive justice. It was an innovation in doctrine unknown until then. The ancient fathers and the eastern Orthodox churches reject this notion.

[Corey J. Mahler @CoreyJMahler]

Da die Sündenschuld unendlich ist und die Menschen endlich sind, so hätte die Zeit, welche zur Tilgung dieser Schuld vonnöten gewesen wäre, notwendigerweise unendlich sein müssen; darum bedurfte es eines unendlichen Gottes in die Waagschale zu werfen, auf daß getilgt werde, was wir schuldig waren.

What to be even more amazed? Consider the bulk of books being read by the few readers. No better than watching TV

[Humble Flow @HumbleFlow]

I refuse to believe that fewer than half of Americans read a book last year

Are you kidding me

[Tired of Lies @TomSchaub6]

We banned rigorous intellectual standards 1) to make the “educated” easier to manipulate via propaganda & evil word magic; 2) to allow anti-racism and, later, DEI quotas to break the connections between educational achievement and (genetic, unalterable) cognitive ability.

It’s why almost all the schools suck and almost all the credentials of “the experts” are meaningless fraud.

[Humble Flow @HumbleFlow]

Every time I read these posts about what students were studying 100 years ago, I feel a little dumb.

What happened to our education system?

[Tired of Lies @TomSchaub6]

How about rigorous objective testing of both how much they know and how insightful they are at using that knowledge effectively.

Erase there DEI-contaminated, dumbed down credentials and replace with tough, competitive testing — certainly with HIGH failure rates for test takers.

(Back in the day, the Society of Actuaries used to do this.)

[William M Briggs - Statistician to the Stars! @FamedCelebrity]

Yes. We suffer from a hideous plague of insufferable Experts.

Something needs to be done about them.

[Tired of Lies @TomSchaub6]

This is completely correct. As a boomer I traveled from marxist to “classical liberal = conservative”. We have moved far past the days when that was an acceptable response to reality.

[John Carter @martianwyrdlord]

Conservatives will tell you openly that they consider themselves "classical liberals", and try to gatekeep the right by claiming that the true right is Locke and Mill. When in positions of power they punish the right far more strictly than the left, because they correctly understand that they are ideologically more similar to leftists than to rightists.
