The knife missile is a major advancement in the reduction of collateral damage. And drone strikes already have far less collateral damage than traditional warfare.

Drone strikes are the worst type of warfare, except all the others that have been tried

How recent is semi modern? I have a early 90s Datejust with zero visibility at night whatsoever

DYE💪

When the crowd booed him he could’ve said “no no the vaccine is good trust me” but instead he said “but you still have your freedoms”

Yeah. That part was crazy to me. His ego couldn’t handle getting booed, so even if it’s something in his interest and theirs, he’ll still back off

Interesting. France and South Korea are looking at the events of the past week and are saying, “Ah. Well done.”

Granted, it’s probably within the margin of error

Bro… are you agendaposting on /r/WatchesCirclejerk ?

Trump talked up the vaccine on the campaign trail, and made it seem like it would be widely available before the election. Then he was very quiet about it for a while, even getting vaccinated in secret (remember Mike Pence got vaccinated on live TV, but he doesn’t hold sway with the MAGA base anymore). Then, once it became clear conservatives weren’t taking the vaccine and dying because of it, Trump recommended it at a rally and got booed

😠

The death of liberty?

The people chose Joe Biden, and Joe Biden is the Constitutionally elected president. The violent mob trying to violently overturn that and enforce their will over the voters of the American people are enemies of democracy and enemies of freedom.

"A feisty event."

Like Andrew Clyde, the Republican Congressman who said the rioters were basically regular tourists, until a photo of him surfaced where he was barricading a door to the House Chamber with heavy furniture

And there was a mob of people alongside her, who just got back from a rally where they chanted "Hang Mike Pence" and erected a gallows. She and the rest of the mob were trying to unsuccessfully get past a locked door, past which were Congressmen that the mob was trying to get to. She had been the first to breach the glass windows on the side of the locked door. If she had gotten through, others could have as well and even opened the door. After she was shot, the mob backed down, realizing that they were facing a single choke point that couldn't be exited.

I've said it here before.

This sub reminds me of Andrew Clyde, the Congressman who said the rioters were basically regular tourists, until a photo of him surfaced where he was barricading a door to the House Chamber with heavy furniture

Also, there's a weird disconnect here. "She was innocent! She was unarmed, and posed no threat! Also, I wish they were successful in their attempt to overthrow the government!"

He was the only one in the place where the mob was physically close to the people they were trying to get at. Everywhere else, the mob was pretty far away.

But hey, there was chance that that particular crowd with that particular woman leader would actually got in and started executing people they dont like... but its extremely unlikely..

They were chanting "Hang Mike Pence" and erected a gallows. I don't think there's a lot of ambiguity in their intentions.

They were a fan of government, just not yours. They weren't anarchists trying to overthrow the government, they were Trump simps who wanted to keep Trump in office.

The entire pandemic has shown me that the lifelong battle has always been between those that want to be left alone v those that refuse to leave others alone.

That's a very self serving way to frame it. I'd describe it as a struggle between people who realize their actions affect others vs those who either can't or won't see it.

If you're in an area where they have no ICU beds available, where there's a massive shortage of doctors and nurses, where ambulances are working nonstop to transfer patients hundreds of miles away where there are hospital beds, then you owe it to everyone in your community to keep transmission rates as low as possible. And not just for people who refuse the vaccine (as angry as I am at them, I still want them to live), but for the people who couldn't get vaccinated, for the immunocompromised who did get vaccinated but couldn't mount a defense, and for everyone in the hospital for other problems, like heart attacks, strokes and car crashes.

Coronavirus was invented by the media so people will visit their websites

Pizza cutter. All edge, no point

Ron Desantis: this looks like a great time to add even more restrictions on mask mandates. I’m gonna write an EO banning mask mandates in hospitals

In the US you’d run afoul of first amendment protections, elsewhere in the world it would still be an authoritarian move because if a state had that much power, it could cut off access to protesters sharing vital information and important news media

This is an idea that a has been devastating to the concept of affordable housing- the idea that a home should be an investment. For a long time, we've held home ownership up as a goal for the middle class, and we've told people you should expect to buy a home and have it increase in price.

That is an absolute tragedy, because it usually entails restricting the housing supply so demand will go up. Homeowners who expect their house price to go up, and politicians who want to have that as a focus will choose policies that make it harder to build houses. So now, the amount of housing hasn't risen with the population, and we're seeing rents skyrocket all over.

Imagine if cars worked like housing, and people bought cars made in 1970, then tried to restrict how many cars can be made so that they could sell their car at a profit 40 years later. That would be utter insanity, but somehow people believe it with housing.

I'll say it again- the idea that housing should be an investment vehicle is absolutely incompatible with having enough affordable housing for all

If your expectation is that everyone in America can own a single family home in the suburbs with a lawn and picket fence, that would be a disastrous goal. The energy and water use emits way more carbon than a comparable city apartment, and commuting half an hour to work 5 days a week in heavy traffic is terrible for roads, terrible for city planning, and obviously disastrous for the environment.

If you mean "home ownership" as in owning individual apartments in a building, then yeah, that's fine, that's a good goal, but right now, we're in a major shortage for every type of housing, and any new construction at all is good policy. New housing eases up the supply, and will make rents at every price point drop.

I can't stress this enough. We need new housing constructed wherever we can.

No, the only one I have is a stainless steel datejust on a jubilee (as god intended).

And yeah, I’m also curious to see if this trend will last. Dive watches used to be seen as unglamorous tool watches, and wearing a sub with a suit was the 60’s version of sneakers with a suit. Rebellious and deliberately rule breaking. But in the last couple decades, there’s been a glamorization of divers, to the point where they make 30k subs out of white gold that will probably never even see a swimming pool.

And this trend seems like it’ll last. So there’s no real reason rose gold on rubber won’t last either.

I’ll still think it’s a bit ridiculous though

It’s true. Like we’re not seeing a surge of people going to get vaccinated after FDA approval. The “it’s not approved!” was only an excuse, not a serious consideration

It can’t beat my brilliant counter play to that technique- being way too slow to punish and hitting them after they spot dodge
