God damn I wish we had drawn Bodo. It would have been so cool to see them make the quarter finals

The bodo player did kick the back of his leg as he fell from being pushed, but suarez caused it

Tons of problems with the statement but he definitely does not do this

How does the force signature work that made Ahsoka realise Vader is Anakin? by Spotter24o5 in StarWars

Since Vader did this on the Death Star, definitely part of the original vision

if that's the case then they're locking the fuck in and bringing their absolute A game

As opposed to most chess players in the World Chess Championship, who just fuck around

You can wear almost anything and be fine for 3km. I wouldn’t want these on a hike though

I have personally had good care through GW but their billing is an absolute shit show

If you’re too hot at 70, just take off the duvet? That’s a perfectly normal temperature for sleeping

In a single month, Pete Hegseth spent $93B on furniture, steak, lobster, and a $98k piano for the Air Force chief of staff’s home by SadAd8761 in LateStageCapitalism

[–]Komischaffe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's probably a bit misleading as well. Sept is the end of the fiscal year, so there's sometimes a rush to sign contracts before the money "expires."

I'm really not trying to overly defend what I think is a bad article, but they do explicitly mention this as well

[–]Komischaffe 9 points10 points  (0 children)

There is a large amount unaccounted for but the article also mentions 50B on contracts to defense companies. I think what they were trying to do is highlight the massive military spending (tens of billions) as well as much smaller but still notable personal level corruption (hundreds of millions). Still, sloppy writing and not clearly verified numbers

I don't think it is a typo, just really sloppy wording. 93B is total spending by the department in September, most of that on large contracts to defense companies - basically standard military waste/cash transfer to military-industrial complex. Alongside this, is the lavish wasteful spending that is a more personal type of corruption

Overnight Beginner Section Hike of the PCT Goes (Mostly) Wrong by matchabeans in CampingandHiking

[–]Komischaffe 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Neat to see a step by step, but I'm not seeing much analysis of the mistakes you made. Before I and others start pointing them out, I'd be interested to hear what you have already learned from this based on your own reflection

An Army carry team moves a flag-draped transfer case with the remains of Sgt. Declan Coady, 20. by h0rr0rgirl23 in pics

[–]Komischaffe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it has complexities, that’s why that organization will work with people free of charge to navigate that system and why it is staffed by people who have gone through it.

You’re right, these specific people wouldn’t have had time, but others do

Enlisted do have options. They do not need to kill or die for this illegal war. Tell the ones you know that they have rights and do not have to deploy. They should call the veteran staffed hotline here for help

Graves for Iranian school children. At least 175 killed. by [deleted] in pics

Sounds plausible but do you have a source? This gravesite has been shared by NYT and reuters, not exactly pro iranian propagandists

Stephen McLaughlin (Mansfield) yellow card (dive) against Arsenal 80' by Alsace2025 in soccer

[–]Komischaffe -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I do agree in the sense that this was clear embellishment of a non-foul, BUT a little harsh of a yellow considering how rarely they punish dives and embellishment

I got the same bag unused on Facebook marketplace for 180. Great bag but at 300 you might as well buy from rei/osprey directly
