People are dumb. I once saw a kid on a field trip shit his pants out of spite because we had to leave a petting zoo. It wasn’t an accident. He looked the teacher in the eye and letterrip

I thought there was report of a breach

Damn that post pizza clarity must be crazy

How’s that relevant to the bald thing?

Not defending it, but what’s it have to do with Dave liking the gesture or not

No one is disputing the danger mines pose.

From the article:

The U.S. official said late Tuesday the United States sought commitments from Ukraine on how it will use the antipersonnel mines, with the expectation they will be deployed only on Ukrainian territory in areas where Ukrainian civilians are not living.

The official also pointed to the function of the mines, which they said require a battery for operation and will not detonate once the battery runs out after a period of a few hours to a few weeks.

That does not completely remove the risk, as there is still a blob of explosive in the ground. But this is overall an improvement on the improvised mines they are currently building.

Reading this, it’s pretty clear that until landmines can be fully removed from warfare, (which isn’t happening in the foreseeable future), that the emphasis is on how they are used.

Namely:

Rule 81. When landmines are used, particular care must be taken to minimize their indiscriminate effects.

Also of interest is that Russia (and the US) are not signed on to the anti personnel section , making things complicated. That’s no excuse to use them carte blanche but it complicates things.

But I’m just one dude, I’m not a pro on this. I’m happy to see them used defensively, with modern tracking and disarmament techniques, rather than old school or home built devices that have no such precautions.

What did Dave think of it? None of us matter if Dave actually appreciated the (albeit minimal, noncommittal) gesture

Ez logic. Bully them at another time!

(This is for school, and a joke. Not war )

I was told this is not an issue in China. /S

But actually this is a serious issue and as far as western readers are concerned, this perception issue speaks to the filtered way media / news makes it out of the region

To deploy in your own country?

Federation speed is a serious backbone concern. It aligns with perceived reliability. If it seems like comments votes or posts aren’t “going where they’re supposed to” then people can lose faith in the platform

I don’t think Biden would want to be the one to start that habit

Contemplate how close to total collapse we are every day

I just witnessed a murder lol

Haha love it. It must be the ass pennies guy

Once a pants is associated with a bad ass you might struggle to separate the art from the artist.

This is funny because an “elder statesperson” is valuable because they’ve been in the room for allllll the dirt, over decades. They are a walking blackmail bomb and are tolerated because they can call in “favors” when compromise is really really needed.

Edit whoever downvoted this, care to comment? If you think this was a “yay pelosi” comment you’re wrong.

Damn next up the vaporeon copypasta

“this is now a seminar on how the emperor of mankind brought humanity together in the unification wars, and how the techno barbarian cultures influenced the following astartes legions, and other central establishments of the imperium. A primer.”

“Tune in next week where Steve will be giving a lecture titled 'the Horus heresy: how the emperor is a bad dad”

Not voting also means they didn’t contribute to down ticket races and ballot initiatives which are often more competitive, and very consequential.
