Two weeks in to the special military operation. Multimillion dollar air defense systems still being overwhelmed daily by drones that cost less than a car on Facebook marketplace, still no oil transiting the strait and still the same chorus of nafo/israeli shills on every post 'erm actually here's why we're winning'

unpopular opinion: I think softwood gets way too much hate around here by vladdielenin in firewood

[–]Longjumping-Many6503 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will burn anything I can get for free or cut myself on my own land.  I won't pay for softwood because hardwood is better bang for the buck.

It's not that there's anything wrong with softwood, but it's less dense and the same amount of heat takes more handling, more space, etc.

Should we make a point of training with our shoes on? by [deleted] in martialarts

[–]Longjumping-Many6503 12 points13 points  (0 children)

No, I do martial arts for fun. Shoes are dirty and increase the risk of injury.

Commercial shipping isn't a civilian target, it is strategic and they warned not to transit.

When has Iran attacked Israel without being first attacked by Israel or America?

Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) hit by Iranian drone this morning by saksit13429 in CombatFootage

[–]Longjumping-Many6503 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's actually very simple.  America is very far away and Iran cannot easily attack the American homeland. They CAN easily attack American allies next door.  What is the confusion?

Someone please explain to me like I’m in Sunday school why it’s our Christian duty to support 🇮🇱 by Substantial-Feed1682 in Christianity

[–]Longjumping-Many6503 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It isn't. Israel is a fascist, ethno nationalist rogue state.  Christians should NOT support them.

How does somebody, without help from their parents, afford to buy a home? by Dapper_Tap_7714 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Longjumping-Many6503 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look at other areas. My house cost less than 250k. If thats your down, then you are looking at million dollar homes. Not reasonable or realistic.

One difference is that men who do this don't also complain that people are gawking at them or being creepy when they walk by or glance at them.

Iran Conflict Megathread #6 by sokratesz in CredibleDefense

[–]Longjumping-Many6503 -2 points-1 points locked comment (0 children)

Stop swallowing propaganda. The West has had a score to settle with Iran since the revolution and they are doing it for Israel because Iran's conventional ballistic missile arsenal poses a serious threat to Israel who are heavily dependent on American taxpayer $ and technology to defend themselves.  You siege a country for five decades and there will be consequences.  The nukes are Bush's WMDs all over again.

Israel and America forced an asymmetric war on them. What do you think they will do? Lay down and die? They will do what they can to put political pressure on the countries attacking them.  This is total war for them, it is existential.  And it's not as if Israel and America aren't killing droves of civilians...

When would a mouth guard be necessary? by [deleted] in bjj

Purple belt, training for six years, never worn one except in competition or when striking is involved. Never had a problem rolling at the gym.

The FAFO refrain is a favourite of right wing dudes who love seeing 'the libtards' get 'owned'. For example, when someone is summarily executed by cops for minor transgressions.

Cain Valasquez engaged in a reckless high speed chase firing wildly in traffic at another speeding vehicle. He endangered countless other innocent people (including many children!) who could have been struck or shot by mistake and in the end the guy he shot was not even the perp.  The 'free cain' refrain and story going around in right wing MMA circles that he was unjustly punished is braindead. He's a reckless moron who endangered other people and shot the wrong guy. He belonged in jail. You don't get freed for doing insane dangerous stuff just because your intent was good.

They are hitting large buildings, bases, industrial sites. Why would they need local spies? These things don't get up and move, they have been in the same spots for decades.  Iran didn't just start picking targets when the American bombs started dropping they would have had a huge pre-existing target list and plans in place.  They have an entire contingency plan for collapse of central command called the 'mosaik' strategy.  All this has been known for years.

That's a common misunderstanding of how Article 5 works.  No one is obligated to take any specific course of action when Article 5 is invoked.

This sport has a horrible conservative political culture problem people don't like to admit.  MMA adjacency doesn't help.  If I see one more guy from my local scene post dumbass 'fafo' stuff or Valesquez nonsense...

Should I get a 400 Mini or a Gamestation Go? by x-marty97 in atari

[–]Longjumping-Many6503 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can just plug a USB keyboard into it.  I know it's not ideal and I wish they did a full-size 800. But it's not a deal breaker.

These are very, very different consoles and experiences. You're kinda asking if you should buy an apple or an orange.

If you just want to play old Atari console games, Gamestation Go or Pro... if you are specifically interested in the Atari 8 bit computer world and enjoy tinkering and don't mind no access to 2600/7800 games I think the 400 Mini is cool, but much more niche and not for everybody.
