They’re upset that a political party convinced them to support genocide and feel the need to lash out.

I just couldn’t let the original commentor get away with saying the most ridiculous shit in this thread, I had to top them.

Actually, tetris is really a commentary about the brief and fragile ethnostate in Constantinople as the Byzantine empire fell to the Ottoman empire.

Very true, however I was merely drawing a distinction between those drafted and tossed aside, and those who the original commenter said had committed horrors abroad. This guy is more likely to have been complicit.

To be fair, given his job, this guy probably didn’t commit wild atrocities. He probably stared at a screen, waiting for the Viet Cong to deploy submarines.

Which is true, the US should not have gone. However, many people were drafted for war in Vietnam, and going may not have been their choice.

I still don’t think thanking them for their service is the right thing to say, maybe something along the lines of “I’m sorry you were forced into a horrible war.”

The guy in the picture, though, is a senior chief petty officer, which pretty much means he did 20 years at least. This guy retired and is still collecting a check from the government. A far cry from the draftees who were forced into combat and forgotten about as soon as they got home, lucky to have survived at all.

Dude saluted a foreign military officer, to the confusion of all.

Putting the word genocide in quotes like that seems dismissive of the plight of Palestinians.

Hand tight, then torque wrench, 7-inch pounds.

If you suck it out of the carpet before the 5 seconds, you’re fine. Just make sure you put the car in park first.

Everyone needs a hobby, I suppose.

Seems like a bigger waste of time to just end up engaging with people who can vault over pictures, but can’t handle nuance.

Start the discussion on an intellectual level, and those who can’t grasp it can go read until they’re ready to talk.

Or they can go find someone else who will argue with cartoons or whatever, I’m sure they’ll be happier there.

Makes sense. As a grown adult, I also require overly simplistic illustrations in order to grasp concepts.

That’s a very difficult concept for them to understand. The mental gymnastics I’ve seen them use to excuse or defend genocide has been wild.

By just saying, “I don’t want to endorse a genocide.” sends them into a frothing rage, with arguments immediately fired against the right. They see it as ‘us vs. them’, but fail to see that people don’t want to endorse a genocide no matter the color of the party.

Hhhwhat the fuuuuck

True, I’m excited to see the flavor next month.

I’m sure it would hit other things, but prioritizing fusing on decoys would be pretty funny.

Depends, did you engineer the decoy or the missile?

It’ll be interesting when the pendulum swings towards EVs in america. Car companies will have to convince those coal and gas chuds to go back on all the rhetoric they’ve been fed in order to stay relevent in an evolving market.

At a quick glance, I didn’t notice the hyphen amd assumed it was a comma, and I thought these ambitious people were trying to resurge both narhwal and buffalo populations.

Taxation doesn’t take into account the fact that wages are stagnant, but corporations have posted record profits. Small businesses are impacted as well, due to the nature of supply chains, most people cannot create something from nothing.

I’d like to address something you said that is unrelated to economics. You said you address secondary or tertiary consequences of arguements. That doesn’t seem like a non-sequitor or people arguing past eachother like some kind of verbal 4-D chess match, typed in this case. It seems to me that you’re saying you assume what the other person might say, then you reply to that assumtion. Can you clarify?
