  • Russian tank -> Ukrainian scrap metal

    Married Russian woman -> Widowed Lada owner

  • We’re supposed to be evolving into a more free society… this is just going backwards.

    You have discovered the great fallacy, the presumption that democracy and freedom are the natural course of things: they are not. Every single inch of it we have was taken by force from kings and dictators, and they're always waiting in the shadows for their opportunity to take it back.

    The peace dividend created by the end of the cold war has unfortunately made an entire generation of people who believe this fallacy, this is one of the glaring reminders that it's not true. Democracy and freedom are things that must be actively maintained in perpetuity by everyone who wants them, we must be ready and willing to use all four boxes of democracy (soap, ballot, jury, AND ammo) to defend it for the rest of our lives. We must educate, we must vote, we must nullify unjust laws, and we must arm ourselves, because at the end of the day, violence is the one enforcement method that everyone is forced to listen to. It doesn't matter how right you are if the other side has more people willing to kill and die for their cause than yours does, so we better damn well make sure that's not the case.

  • The ruling more or less explicitly states that Biden could go on national television, say "Won't someone rid me of these troublesome justices?", have them assassinated, and face no legal repercussions because using the bully pulpit is covered by presidential immunity

  • Yeah but I don't think the average smash and grab thief is going to be smart enough to recognize the potential value of the data on the laptop, they're just going to pawn the thing off as quickly as possible

    Anyone smart enough to want the data probably doesn't need to smash a window, they'll just access the data remotely when the computer is on and the drive is unencrypted

    So even then, it only protects you from the very narrow overlap of thieves who are dumb enough to need to break into cars for a living, but smart enough to harvest data off of stolen laptops

  • I still stand by full disk encryption accomplishing almost nothing for the average user but separating them from their own files

    If you don't have data on your PC that someone might be willing to kill you for, you probably don't need it, and Microsoft enabling it by default for Win11 installs is crazy

  • Correct, the entire concept of physically backed digital lending is being threatened, and many physical libraries contracted with IA to digitize their books and then facilitate digitally lending their physical copies to their patrons

  • I appreciate skibidi toilet, it's good to know that even across generations, children still yearn for stupid gmod videos

  • Why would NATO have any say in if they accept or not? What would the threat be if they do, they stop providing them with arms and ammunition? Surely, if Russia is indeed so benevolent, Ukraine wouldn't need them going forward in this hypothetical peace?

  • "But you see, hohol, if you just let me win the war, then there will be peace!"

  • Being "anti-gun" is almost universally actually just being "pro-gun-but-only-for-the-state" when you sit down and analyze it

    When the police and army disarm themselves, then we'll talk

  • In order to participate in the vast majority of active r/conservative threads (any tagged "Flaired Users Only", which 9 of the top 10 posts right now are), you need to first pass a mod purity test to prove you're "conservative enough", it's not a serious place and is mostly just dumb Facebook-tier memes and poor quality screenshots of news headlines or random tweets

  • Hexbear suffers from the nazi bar problem, they're not ALL tankies, but they sure do hang out with a lot of them

    I just don't have the time to sus out who's who and it's much easier (and less massive-shock-image-spamming) to use an instance that's defederated with them

  • As a real American of color red blood born into the Ohio oblast of the American Union, I agree!

  • It's okay, I forgive you, we all make mistakes sometimes, I'm sure you'll have better luck next time you try to engage

  • If you're going to struggle this hard to follow along with expansions of your own analogies it would probably be best if you stopped using them, it's just making it harder on everyone else

  • Man this is your own analogy, do I really gotta explain it

    If everyone is suddenly playing at the nuclear poker table, the chances of SOMEONE going all in each hand drastically increases, and if any one singular player goes bust, we ALL lose because the damn table explodes

    Appeasement just kicks the can down the road (and makes things much worse in the future), it's vital that we not make playing nuclear poker appealing by letting countries get away with shit even if they do have nukes

  • It's okay if you don't understand the analogy

    When everyone has nukes, all it takes is one country busting for us all to lose
