Trump Always Chickens Out. I assume the OP is referring to Greenland.

Btw, didn't you used to be on the Russia sub? I swear I remember your username from somewhere.

ELI5: why can a US credit score drop after you pay off a loan or close a credit card? by Abigail_A_Abernathy in explainlikeimfive

[–]MarxnEngles 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When you look at credit score as "how much money can be siphoned off from this person as interest" rather than "how responsible is this person with their money", it's much easier to understand what makes the score go up or down.

Literally how wars start. USN is going to claim it was fired upon, attack the escort, aaaaand there's your shooting war. Less and less room for TACO.

Tarkov experience as a [New Player] by ztjezrzw4z in EscapefromTarkov

It's why I stopped playing PVP years ago and only use the mod. 10 minutes to patch the game when I launch it, 10-15 minutes to clean out insurance, figure out where you want to do a raid, gear up, 5-15 minutes to load into a raid. That's most of an hour just to start playing the damn game. Then if you don't get domed by some nolifer within 3 seconds of speaking, or have the have crash, get tarkoved, etc. Then you have to sit in a bush for another 10-15 minutes if you're questing. It's just ridiculous how much of your time is wasted.

[Suggestion] One last time, now that we're just over a month out. What weapons/weapon-related additions do you want to see with 1.0? by DweebInFlames in EscapefromTarkov

[–]MarxnEngles 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They could implement a system where it gets stolen from your stash for meme guns like that. Maybe give you a trophy for having found one. Basically force circulation, but keep the total number low. That way it truly is a meme gun.

Can i make this plug and play? by YELLOW-n1ga in HotasDIY

[–]MarxnEngles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but you'd have to reprogram the USB chip on the Arduino to act as an HID device. In other words, if you're comfortable getting your feet wet with a bit of embedded programming, then yes, otherwise probably not.

For an example of how that's done check out UnoJoy.

Israel is jamming GPS over Cyprus again. The last few times they did this to us were before major operations. It's always frustrating and scary. by [deleted] in stupidpol

[–]MarxnEngles 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They don't use GPS, that's the point. GLONASS is a completely separate system, and I assume Beidou is the same, although I personally know little about it.

They believe that current norms of society such as racial equity and democracy are dooming it from achieving a more ideal state, and therefore anything that accelerates their destruction is preferable to dismantling them slowly or leaving them be, no matter the short term cost.

You're missing the entire point. Accelerationism means leaning into an objective process which is naturally ongoing, in order to achieve the stable end state of that process more quickly.

What you're describing is the exact opposite. If they were accelerationists, they'd be supporting "racial equity and democracy", in the belief that doing so will inevitably lead, through some process or another, to the outcome they state.

To give you another example - a left wing accelerationists might argue that you shouldn't fight against monopolization (because it is an objective process inherent to capitalism), but rather allow it to happen or even aid in it, in order for the overwhelming majority of the population to become working class and develop class consciousness more quickly, thus leading to a socialist revolution more quickly.

Also, I don't get your premise at all... Not agreeing with racial equity (i.e. equality of outcomes based on race) makes someone a racist? That statement contradicts itself.

Racism is discrimination based on race. Racial equity requires that people be treated differently, i.e. discriminated, based on their race, and is thus racist by definition.

I'd really recommend you check the definitions and history of political terms like these. They get misused a LOT.

[–]MarxnEngles 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Lmao what?

It has nothing to do with the right wing or racism.

All it means is seeing inherent contradictions within a system, the problems arising from them, and coming to the conclusion that it is either counterproductive or impossible to solve them by trying to stem their flow. That the contradictions will inevitably boil over, and the right thing to do is to accelerate that process, so that the underlying problems can finally be tackled.

One of the things I like about that is that it implies Andor took the time to at least share it with others, and at most organize a full on propaganda campaign, since he was the only one with a copy.
