    feddit.org's Zionist bar problem: community ban(s) vote

  • I forgot about that instance after they did their "compliance" requirement against free speech lol.

  • But bro please

  • Nothing, i'm just saying that most people don't understand this and don't know that their individual skills with a firearm just won't matter much if you don't organize into a proper group with modern vehicles at your disposable.

    Point is, if you wanna go down the route of “I need 2A for an oppressive government”, you’ll quickly find yourself getting into the same situation as everyone else. Unless you form a side via a civil war, you’re gonna suffer heavy losses in the initial stage just like everyone else, and commit to long term attrition just like everyone else.

    Not saying it's a bad idea in any way, but there's a significant portion of the American community that I could not imagine being able to walk 10k despite stockpiling a platoon's worth of ammo.

  • Gulf War 1 was literally the king of all curbstomps and the Taliban fell just as fast to a swarm of CAS, even though they had the NWA completly surrounded.

    Only Vietnam survived because surprise surprise they had a hefty mechanized supply line provided by the USSR via China.

    Gulf 2 and the aftermath in Afghanistan was still a ridiculously long occupation that all hinged on the idea that the US no longer had any meaningful interest to commit resources and would eventually leave.

  • IFVs exist for this exact purpose and they typically have minimum 1 per tank if not 2.

    You ain't gonna get very far when theres a 25mm auto cannon spraying and praying in your general direction.

    Plus the coaxial 7.62 MGs

    Plus the hull mounted M2 .50 cal MGs.

    Why do you think separatists and resistance movements have to rely on IEDs and forcing fights in urban environments with a metric ton of cover available?

    Why do you think they get steamrolled by mechanized armored units like almost every time that forces them into guerilla fighting tactics like digging tunnels and using mountainous terrain?

  • Let's take a moment to remember the time period when everyone had to adjust to using dual-joysticks on controllers.

  • I grew up on D-pad and mouse so any of my controll skills fly out the window when given a c-stick.

    Love gyro aim though lol. More akin to a mouse.

  • Real Nazis

  • Cuomo running as 3rd party because he lost his own primary, snd still getting within 10% of Mamdani

    Or I don't know, the thousands of local city officials that run as independents or bipartisan.

  • And the other one is the "We won't do anything to stop the Nazis party" ;)

  • Kiswa on Jeffrey Epstein’s floor? New image shows sex offender standing on sacred Islamic cloth of Kaaba, sparks outrage

    Jump

  • Oil shill states also had direct connections with Epstein?

    ...

    I think I ran out of shocked jokes to put in these type comments...

  • Ex-KGB official says 2 countries have copies of compromising Trump video

    Jump

  • Nah they'd say it doesn't matter as the primary reason and start actively supporting it like they already have with the redacted files.

  • Trump threatens to block opening of new bridge between Detroit and Windsor

    Jump

  • 25% of trade with Canada by the way lol. It would be flames if they closed Windsor to Detroit.

    Not that they will, but they could.

  • Trump threatens to bar the new US-Canada bridge from opening, demands talks with Ottawa

    Jump

  • One one hand, the owners of the Ambassador bridge are a now dead billionaire's family that wants to maintain its exclusive tolls on international traffic (and the highest traffic border crossing with Canada).

    On the other hand, CBP spent no time setting up shop on the the bridge to arrest people who made a wrong turn.

    I guess Detroit Windsor tunnel for the win lol.

  • I actually saw so many complaints about Greenday not using their full lyrics which I thought was funny because I didn't know they would be such easy pushovers.

  • Discord will restrict your account next month unless you scan ID or face

    Jump

  • Wow I guess I get to finally dump Discord as my last proprietary chat app.

    There are lots of self hosted alternatives like Mattermost, Mumble, and Matrix (decentralized).

    There's also the new Freenet River demo: https://freenet.org/quickstart/

    Maybe I'll make my own discord clone lol.

  • Western Digital details 14-platter 3.5-inch HAMR HDD designs with 140 TB and beyond

    Jump

  • No sweat, try mirroring a private tracker and you'll very quickly run out lol. You need a couple of petabytes worth.

    The real problem is the price of HDDs not going down due to lower production in light of SSDs.

    I fully expect WD to drop this as some stupidly expensive SAS drives that almost no consumer will buy. They should at least apply the dual heads for speed tech so we get faster HDDs for the same price.

  • NSA detected phone call between foreign intelligence and a person close to Trump

    Jump

  • After Snowden, I assume they beefed up security and scrutiny.

    And considering that their counter offer to Snowden requesting a public trial was that he won't be tortured if he returns, I doubt anyone would want to take the risk.

  • That one scene from Kingdom of Heaven where a random kid is announcing "To kill an infidel, the pope has said is not murder, it is the path to heaven!"

  • "We had sex in a Chinese hotel, then found we had been broadcast to thousands"

  • Not to disregard the issue, but the ISI does the same thing to generate blackmail.

    Although considering the epstein files, that almost seems tame in comparison.

    What's going on with the lemmy world and ML infighting

    Jump

  • World users are just mad that the lemmy devs use ML which means they can't verifiably call them uneducated morons, and ML users are mad that the World users are just smart enough to know the difference between socialism and communism that they won't just auto buy into it lol.
