  • Ukraine to help US and its allies counter Iranian drones in Middle East, says Zelenskyy

    Jump

  • In exchange for support. He needs support more than drones. Trump is trying to abandon him again and pressure Ukraine to surrender. Zelensky tries to remind Trump what side he should be on. Doing that is worth a few drones.

  • Gen Z males twice as likely as baby boomers to believe wives should obey husbands

  • Note the words "in vain".

  • I'm a Christian, and I assure you that this is nonsense. I distinctly remember the name Yahweh being used in sermons. Maybe there are branches of Christianity where that's a thing, but it's definitely not universal.

    "Using God's name in vain" is generally taken to be about blasphemous cursing, not about using God's name at all.

  • Record number of Americans are making 401(k) withdrawals to cover immediate expenses — but it comes at a heavy price

    Jump

  • It's not just the thumbnail. The photo is in the article, captioned "More Americans than ever are turning to 401(k) withdrawals to make ends meet".

    I don't think Kasparov was ever naturalised to American, was he? It's a weirdly misplaced photo.

  • My parents are boomers and they're not like that at all.

    Even my grandfather wasn't, although my grandmother's sisters thought he was; it was my grandmother who insisted the kitchen was het domain, but apparently her much more feminist sisters (and this is a very Reformed protestant family) blamed him. Only after her death could he discover all the cool things he could cook.

  • I think it's Jews who can't say Yahweh. Christians certainly can.

  • why hard exit editor? Nano say at bottom.

  • I think it's more likely the opposite.

  • Yeah, this does not sound like it's going to make our children any safer.

  • 'No stupid rules of engagement': Hegseth is high on Iran bloodshed

    Jump

  • So just shoot the place up, see what comes out, and then declare that that was the goal all along.

  • 'No stupid rules of engagement': Hegseth is high on Iran bloodshed

    Jump

  • Those are the good examples, and they worked very well. But ever since, the US seems to think they can replicate the effect by going in, bombing the place, shooting some locals, and declaring mission accomplished.

  • 'No stupid rules of engagement': Hegseth is high on Iran bloodshed

    Jump

  • I thought the whole reason for this was the fact that Iran has killed and imprisoned record numbers of protesters. That sounds to me like regime change is the goal here, but perhaps I'm wrong.

    I certainly don't think they'll ever succeed in bringing democracy (US track record is atrocious there), but at least it'd be nice if they pretended to try.

  • 'No stupid rules of engagement': Hegseth is high on Iran bloodshed

    Jump

  • No stupid rules of engagement, no nation-building quagmire, no democracy-building exercise, no politically correct wars.

    No democracy, no nation building. So what is the actual goal here? Just to shoot stuff for its own sake?

    Khamenei's death brings Khomeini's grandson into focus

    Jump

  • Getting a reformist ayatollah sounds like the kind of compromise nobody will be happy with. Certainly better than an extremist ayatollah, though.

  • RFK Jr. Suggests People Eat Liver if They’re So Broke

    Jump

  • Chicken liver is the best. I don't understand why my wife and kids don't like it.

  • 'No to War': Iranian opposition abroad pushes back against US-Israeli strikes

    Jump

  • That doesn't change the fact that Iran has had many pro democracy protests over the past decades. It was democratic before the US and UK overthrew it in 1953. I don't doubt Iran could become a healthy democracy again.

    But I don't think this is the way to do it. The US has had a terrible track record with regime change over the past 25 years. There's a good chance that Trump will settle for an oil deal.

    I do hope this will result in democracy in Iran, but chances are slim.

  • The kernel can wait. Kernels are good at that.

  • US’ Iran campaign faces dwindling munitions stockpiles

    Jump

  • I thought the new budget increase was more than the Pentagon knew what to do with. How can you be out of ammo in a handful of days?

    Not that I want the US throwing more bombs, but what happened to all that money?
