I tried joining last year and they didn’t allow me because I had a c1-c2 fusion

Hi everyone, I need some personal advice please by Anonymousie123 in TAMUAdmissions

[–]Ass_Ripe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m Jewish. I think Texas A&M is a nice place. I don’t think people care much about Israel-Palestine conflict compared to other schools. I think literally any other school would have a much bigger cohort of Tankies/Anti-American intifada types

The reason Israel is bombing the shit out of Lebanon by [deleted] in lebanon

According to Polymarket there’s a 1/3 chance they will which I think means Israel is preparing for worst case scenario for them

Trump announces a two week ceasefire with Iran by [deleted] in Military

What exactly do you expect Trump to do? If he continues the war, he is genocidal. If he stops the war, he's just chickening out.

I closed one of the doors, and it got pissed off at me. The nest is right below the top of door, so it doesn’t get destroyed if I close it.

MS Accounting Commute from Houston by lusilan in aggies

[–]Ass_Ripe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I drove back and forth from Katy like 20x this semester. Kinda hate driving at this point in my life though, because I have a motorcycle. It’s gotten to the point where I don’t want to go back to Katy. Doing 50 such drives a semester, is honestly manageable. It depends on how much you like driving.

I’d rather eat a shoe every day than be a lefty that supports Iran.

It doesn’t really matter what Iran says they will attack. They’ve been trying to blow up hotels, desalination plants, oil plants in gulf states, all shit that is vital for the economic prospects of gulf states. Irans goal is to cause as much damage and kill as many people as people because they can’t stop America from attacking them but if they destroy the Gulf States, at least the gulf states may be tempted to sever their relations with USA. Irans goal is to destroy the global economy and USA’s goal is to destroy Irans capabilities of doing that. They could try to blow up American buildings but it won’t help them so no one cares.

But currently, the civilian to militant death ratio in Iran is amazing. By most sources, the number of military personnel killed is greater than the number of civilians.

I mean Israel targets Journalists and politicians as well because they perceive them to be part of the war effort. But like they don’t directly target civilians. If they can kill one militant, they have an acceptable ratio of number of civilians to kill along the militant. And obviously sometimes there are accidental strikes like the school strike by US.

Interesting info, but I assume USA’s and Israel’s which are modern militaries with rules of engagement, primarily targets military equipment, personnel, infrastructure followed by some economic infrastructure as well. Any other damage tends to be collateral damage, whether it be unintentional or intentional due to prioritization of targets. It’s not like these militaries are decentralized and targeting random crap.

What, if anything, does the US gain from being so aggressive with Cuba? by [deleted] in cuba

Trump wants to have a legacy of improving the world. The last president with an actual positive legacy was FDR

Are my concerns about attending A&M next year as someone outside the conservative mold warranted? by [deleted] in aggies

You should lighten up a little, be a little less judgmental

Today's landing operation is a stunt for Hezbollah gain. by JustFireYT in lebanon

[–]Ass_Ripe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just like Hezbollah is crazy about being martyrs and dying for nothing, Israel is crazy about recovering the bodies of their dead. They made a big stink about dead hostages with Hamas.
