If the turn was hard enough that an aircraft fell off the side, then potentially several aircraft were effectively destroyed by just sliding along the deck into each other.
Lashing the aircraft to the deck is woke and we’re not doing that anymore.
The future is unpredictable.
Western liberal democracy, once touted as the pinnacle of governance, is starting to swing towards reactionary thinking and economic stagnancy as the realization that the easy looting of the past 40 years is coming to an end. - The world has entered a state of flux - Out of that, however, I’ve seen a change in peoples attitudes as they realize that politics is not something they can ignore. Consider this: our enemies are making it increasingly obvious just how evil they are. Every time the chuds get the warm fuzzies from the latest truly heinous world event, somewhere, people are starting to realize that their liberal understanding of the world is very very flawed. Previously, I thought we’d just barely carry the torch through an age of stability, remaining fringe weirdos clasping the stale arguments of last century’s class-conflict.
Now I think that actually, people will find their way to aligning with us as they scramble to higher ground trying to avoid drowning in fascism.
Modern life can be extremely isolating, and that isolation will become dangerous in a world that keeps going the way it is going. Make friends. Build support networks. As the tide rises we will find new comrades. Be ready to find islands of safety. Be ready to help pull people to safety.
Feddit has no obligation to submit to a supreme court ruling. The Feddit admins simply have no intention of preventing transphobia on their instance. Either they agree with it, or they’re too weak to stop it.
On Hexbear we have a fantastic melange of people who would be banned on sight in other instances purely because of their country of origin. I value that global scale bubble.
Unfortunately when the varying opinion is whether or not our trans users should be harassed, there’s no room for open mindedness. We just can’t take the risk with instances who’s admins are lax on protections we enjoy here. If you find things that are posted here interesting, I’d suggest making an account.
Many people have recently.
This was my thought too. Very well done.
I haven’t read your whole post, but you’re probably right. Please note though, that folk are emotional creatures rather than strictly logical. Some people have been hurt by Christianity and they’re going to be rightfully distrustful or outright hostile.
But if we focus on what we have in common rather than our differences, we’re still comrades. People dunk on the new atheism movement as much as they do the Catholic church around here. We’re here for some same reason with different journeys and stories.
Love thy fellow posters.
UK Supreme Court has ruled that the concept of sex is strictly binary, and based on sex at birth.
Trans women are now excluded from women’s spaces and services, even if they have a gender recognition certificate. Discrimination is now codified.
Once again, the traditional news media reporting I’ve been unintentionally exposed to on this strike mentioned nothing about the military personnel - but that level of propaganda is normal in the west. I’ve lost count of the number of times the BBC reports a strike on a hotel or a cafe only for their own videos to show injured military personnel and foreign mercenaries in the rubble.
This strike however seems uncharacteristic in it’s callousness, and seems unusually mean spirited from the Russians. Civilian casualties from the strikes have been pretty minimal so far in the war, other than the occasional Ukrainian anti-aircraft missile intercepting the side of an apartment.
Perhaps the terror drone raids the Ukrainians having been sending deep into Russia to target random civilian buildings have rekalibrated their tolerance for collateral.
Such a dirty strike by the Russians. They’ve had such a good record of avoiding civilian casualties so far, but this strike was unusually and callously bloodthirsty.
It’s evil behaviour more comparable to NATO and IDF tactics where the civilian casualties are the point.
What makes it seem extra insidious is that basically all of this seems to feed back into supporting USAdian warmongering and imperialism. Like, what is a “tankie”? When you ask people they’ll say “Authoritarian Communists” but it really just seems that they call anyone who isn’t deepthroating the boot of the AmeriKKKan Empire a “tankie”.
Ah yes, dronies.
Allow the Americans to only talk with one mouth. More mouths just mean more ways to lie.
If the US has something to say, they should say it publicly. No more sweets lies in back channels while serving circus to the public.
Let them just be the circus and treat them as such.
Hopefully the stress finishes him off.
I used to assume that, surely, it’s impossible for people to have beef with ace people. But, no, after making friends with a couple of ace people, I realized they get a world of shit not just from the usual suspects, but also catching intentional and unintentional flak from queer people on top of that.
And it seems to me that a lot of ace people just awkwardly put up with the abuse because queer people simply do not like being checked on the idea that they aren’t as accepting as they think they are.
You know what’s really vile? Kidnapping people off the street so they can be killed within a month.
Yeah? What’s your opinion on Gaza, colonizer?
I wonder if the west actually will be able to reindustrialize if factory automation is getting this efficient. Maybe, we could end up with a semi-deglobalized world where each trade block has their own efficient automated manufacturing spheres, and more localized mining/heavy industry.
Phrenologically, it seems like caucoids lack the capability for term planning though.
It’s an anti-communist propaganda piece, not an actual historical analysis.
To lie like they do, you must know the truth and dance around it, for blood money.
No rehabilitation for stenographic mercenaries.
The US is already disappearing political dissidents, that’s the situation.
I condemn the USSR for liberating the occupied Polish colonies purely out of practicality rather than because it was the right thing to do.
