Trump loyalists plan to name and shame ‘blacklist’ of federal workers
  • Well get your guns and get your civil war over with please. The only way to fight fascists, who believe that "might makes right" and "the eternal struggle" against their enemies, is to meet them with overwhelming force.

  • SMOKE WEED!
  • Everyone's body reacts differently to substances, nothing to worry about. Because there's a history of bipolar disorder in my family I'm a bit wary of trying anything psychoactive like LSD, Acid, or DMT.

    Also, good on you for quitting tobacco! Nicotine is a really addictive sonofabitch, especially since it comes in more socially acceptable forms. I have tried many times before using all of the methods (reduction, cold turkey, patches, gum, inhaler) and none of them worked. Only vaping has managed to keep me off the cigarettes and I've now reduced the percentage from my starting point at 20% down to 5%. The next step is either 3% or 0% and then kicking the habit itself.

  • SMOKE WEED!
  • Seconded. I would but here it's illegal, my contacts have dried up, and I can't afford it :/

    I wish it was legal because I'd much rather have an end-of-week puff as I don't like to drink.

  • Five IS bombs found hidden in iconic Iraq mosque: UN agency
  • "We bomb the mosque, radicalise the moderates, bring it all on!"

    (Sarcastically) "Oh yeah I like it that, we take out a bunch of Muslims because they're the real enemy! Once we've done that why don't we truck-bomb a kebab shop, fly a jumbo jet into Wadge's mum, and staple a pig to our foreheads!"

  • Texas school district agrees to remove ‘Anne Frank’s Diary,’ ‘Maus’ and 670 other books after right-wing group’s complaint
  • From the article, talking about the complaints citing the Moms for Liberty rating system:

    “Anne Frank’s Diary” and “Maus” both rate a “2” on BookLooks, with the site’s objections to the latter described as “hate involving antisemitism and racism; violence; nonsexual nudity; and mild/infrequent profanity.”

    Would you look at that: non-sexual nudity, oh the shock and horror, children might learn that underneath clothes people are naked 😱

    As shown by the complaint quoted in the article they're removing these books because they discuss historical horrors, violence, and hate, therefore your argument holds no water at all.

  • Texas school district agrees to remove ‘Anne Frank’s Diary,’ ‘Maus’ and 670 other books after right-wing group’s complaint
  • the propaganda that is an attack on people that want to sensor books.

    How is this propaganda?

    Also you are completely incorrect. Those books are ABSOLUTELY are about history and learning.

    Anne Frank's Dairy is a first hand historical account of life an oppressed and genocided group under facism. Maus is another recollection of first-hand historical accounts of a polish Jew being interviewed by his son but shown visually in a cartoon graphic novel to make the context more visually palatable for a younger audience without avoiding the horrific events of history.

    What next? Are you going to claim the Horrible History books are neither educational or historical as well?

  • Most Americans plan to watch the Biden-Trump debate, and many see high stakes, an AP-NORC poll finds
  • Um I can think of a few differences but I think the major one is that one of the geriatric fucks actually promised to end democracy in the US.

    So, maybe don't back his team?

    Well if it ends up in civil war, can you at least launch the nukes and end the whole world as well, I'm kind of done being alive and going out with everyone else is probably the best excuse for not continuing on.

  • History is uncomfortable. Revising it to tell lovely stories is all well and good for building a national identity.

    However, sugar-coating, ignoring, or even flat-out erasing parts of history benefits no one. People started writing events down accurately because the orators of old never intended paint an accurate picture of the past. And therefore lessons learnt from the failures of humanity (lost causes, preventable catastrophies, perspectives of people on the wrong side, genocides, etc.) were also lost.

    History should be uncomfortable, so we can collectively learn and have a chance to do better the next time.

  • Pyongyang Says It Will Send Troops to Ukraine Within a Month
  • Here's my prediction:

    Russia send the NK troops forwards in human waves, mostly under armed with all of the rusty waves. The NK troops surrender when given the chance. Russia waits for the surrendering NK troops to get the Ukrainian troops out of cover and then opens up with artillery and FPV drones on both the Ukrainian troops and NK defectors.

  • Presenting the Bradley Air Defense System
  • You see the US DoD's funding of FPS games is a long term plan for when everything on the battlefield is a drone therefore, fitness levels not being a requirement, they'll have the best trained UGV, USV, UAV pilots.

    Also I'm pretty sure the foul voice chat practice is going to be such an effective electromagnetic-cyber-psychological cross-domain weapon, it's use will be banned as a warcrime under the Geneva Convention of 2052.
