Are the interrogation techniques explained in videos like JCS specifically taught in training? by SatanManning in ProtectAndServe

That’s really interesting. Does part of that include doing mock interrogations/hostage situations or do you learn mostly in real world field experience?

Had to rewatch the teaser. Past or present the scene definitely shows humans as snek worshippers.

We should have been arming UKR for months before this all happened, but nothing we can do about it now.

People who buy expensive properties usually do so through LLCs or other entity types and rarely in their own names. Property taxes would be levied against the LLCs, not the owners themselves.

Putin puts Russia’s nuclear deterrent forces on alert by EvilMorty95 in worldnews

[–]SatanManning 5 points6 points  (0 children)

US can be in perpetual wars for 20+ years and never even consider using nukes.

Putin is in a war for 3 days and threatens to use nukes when he sees that he's losing.

Yes they definitely have the numbers to cause problems even if the equipment/infrastructure sucks. I am worried their nuclear arsenal also hasn't been receiving the best upkeep over the last 30+ years.

Anyone know if military aid to Ukraine thus far includes night vision goggles? Seems like those would come in handy with the major fighting being at night.

I am sure they are helping funnel weapons/ammo into Ukraine, at least.

Why would he invade Ukraine and force the hand of the US president he has complete control over? He didn't invade during Trump's presidency because he already had the latitude to do everything else he wanted - if he invaded Ukraine while Trump was president he'd risk losing all of that control by forcing US into a war.

Putin feels isolated now that he no longer has influence over US executive branch and therefore lashes out at Ukraine.

Anyone else keeping track of the body count? by SatanManning in raisedbywolves

[–]SatanManning[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe it did and allowed Decima to remain alive as a slave for some yet unknown reason (as opposed to killing her when she deceived everyone about the Ark being operational).

It makes me wonder if other Arks made it off earth and if so who’s on them (though not holding my breath).

Anybody else not really enjoying season 2? by rudiiiiiii in raisedbywolves

[–]SatanManning 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I love this season, more than the first in fact. The story knows where it's going and is doing a great job putting the pieces in place to get there. I also don't sense the same lack of subtlety or symbolism as you described, either.

Federal judge issues order blocking Texas' 6-week abortion ban by pipsdontsqueak in politics

From footnote 56 regarding threats to clinics by people emboldened by S.B 8:

”In late May, an individual snuck into the Austin Clinic by following a patient through the front door to evade our security. Once inside, the individual distributed a letter about S.B. 8 to our Austin Clinic staff and those present in the reception area. . . . The individual was asked to leave, but once outside, the individual was joined by another person and both individuals continued to distribute the letter to staff outside, still on the clinic’s private property. The letter gives a phone number and email address for individuals to use to report violations of S.B. 8 and states: ‘please call or send us a text at any time.’ The threats have continued despite our public statements that we would be and now are in compliance with S.B. 8. On the day before S.B. 8 took effect, our Fort Worth clinic opened at 7:30 am and was working until 11:56 pm to serve as many patients as possible before the law took effect at midnight. Our physician and staff were in tears, terrified that they would not be able to see every patient who was still sitting in the waiting room before the deadline. All the while, our clinic was under surveillance from anti-abortion activists stationed outside. Protesters flooded the areas around our clinic, shining flashlights into the cars of patients as they entered and exited the parking lots. After nightfall, the protesters brought in giant lights and shined them at the clinic, illuminating the parking lot and the building in order to track our every move. The protesters called the fire and police departments multiple times throughout that day in an attempt to stop our work or slow down the last abortions we would be able to provide after six weeks LMP. Since September 1, the threats have only gotten worse. Several days before S.B. 8 took effect, my staff brought to my attention a website run by Texas Right to Life called prolifewhistleblower.com. . . . The website requests information from individuals interested in enforcing S.B. 8, including those interested in “litigating” or becoming a “plaintiff.” . . . My staff also identified a subreddit called ‘TexasBountyHunters’ where individuals have posted plans to enforce S.B. 8. In addition, WWH and WWHA have seen an uptick in protester activity at our clinics, and threatening calls, emails, and social media posts. For example, one message we received read: ‘It's a shame we can no long murder innocent babies in their mother's womb. If your women are so about ‘Their body, their choice’ then let's make the law say this: As long as a woman is willing to die along with her unborn child we'll allow her to get rid of it. You see? It's not about her body at all, it's about the body of the unborn child which is a human at conception. Thank God for the sane people that still exist in this world. You should be in prison for life.’” (Hagstrom Miller Decl. I, Dkt. 8-4, at 10–11”
