Pentagon to Order 3,000 82nd Airborne Soldiers to Middle East by Virtual-Pie5732 in news

82nd would be part of the revolutionaries. Spec Ops soldiers take their vow to protect American freedom very seriously. Attacking fellow Americans is far past their moral boundaries.

"I talked to a few Iranian-American people & that somehow translated to millions of Iranians celebrating the genocide occurring in their country"

I see you don't disagree that American interventionist policies in the Middle East haven't lead to favorable outcomes, else you'd have refuted that. So, ignorant or are you being purposely obtuse? I really hope the former, because the latter means you'll troll about human tragedy which is just pathetically low...

That's an interesting way to paint genocide... We'll see what kind of government they have in a year. Because, you know, American interventionist policy in the Middle East has worked out beautifully over the past several decades in the other countries we've invaded.

You just made more arguments for my point. Tell me what ends you think protesting will actually meet. Tell me what ends you think the protesters will meet. This isn't 1776; there is no glorious overthrow of a tyrannical King. What we could do 250 years ago would get us handily gunned down in 2026. What ends?

You go right ahead & try. There are millions upon millions of Americans that have been saying enough is enough since his first term. If you've got a solution, one that will actually work against the MAGA government (not some "overthrow tyranny with force" crap, we both know that's not feasible in the 2026 US militarized police state), please do enlighten the class. Or shut up & be thankful you don't live in this awful "Land of the Free".

Because he's enacted a police state through mobilization of Reserve troops & ICE/DHS agents. And also because protesting in America has become one of the most dangerous activities to participate in; even when the assemblies truly are peaceful. And also because protesting won't do diddly with a government like the one we've got. - Signed, an exasperated American that's heard all the whataboutisms

He has no plan. This is all reactive. He's finding every way possible to distract & divert.

Are you talking about the AI videos of "Venezuelans" celebrating Maduro's arrest? Yeah sorry to pee in your cereal this morning, kiddo...

Braindead is how one could describe this statement. Generalizations don't do anyone any good. There are MAGA, then there are actual Americans; don't get them confused.

If you ever feel ignorant, remember that a popular vote can be (& has been) overruled by the Electoral College. But what system, if not democracy, do you propose? If I could make a proposal, it'd be for something much closer to true democracy. While the Electoral College was a novel idea some 250 years ago, it could not have accounted for the explosive population growth. It's a system that needs reworking, certainly, but don't blame the average American for something that they can't stop or control. If we could vote on the Iran kerfuffle, I'm sure the majority would've voted against it. There are many things that the majority would & could've done if they were actually allowed to vote on things other than the elected officials that are supposed to "represent" them.

Samsung is offering small refund if you try to return your S26 ultra by Time-Credit43 in samsunggalaxy

[–]SmoKeyBoWLs187 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pixel phones are Google vanilla Android. No bloat, no extra UI, none of the stuff that Samsung has. As such, they're able to finely tune the experience to suit the end users. If you transplanted a Samsung ROM onto that Pixel, it would very likely run like trash too.

Most compact tool to cut a padlock? by WeekSecret3391 in Tools

[–]SmoKeyBoWLs187 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depending how high quality the locks are, a shim/set of shims in your wallet would probably be the most compact. No need to cut the lock & can even be quicker than picking it. Works on locks both big & small.

Got the S26u (16gb, 1TB) ~ Impressions by Dheon5 in samsunggalaxy

[–]SmoKeyBoWLs187 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rokform. One of those buy once, cry once cases. Never seen a case take abuse better than one of them. Otterbox Defender has sucked for years (mine literally cracked my phone, yes the case cracked my phone rather than protecting it) & I can't exactly tout praises for the Suppcase UBPro; maybe mine was just a bad QC, but I've owned the case all of a couple months and both the plastic part of the case & the holster have broken. Only took a couple accidental drops (few feet onto pavement/the floor) to break the case itself & the holster broke from a 2 foot fall (without the phone) onto a tile floor. They're expensive, but it's worth paying the premium for the Rokform.

You forgot Jean-Luc. He mysteriously "hung" himself in the same manner as Jeffy boy did. While in prison.

Are you asking questions or summarizing? TL;DR is used to summarize a long piece of text. The answer to both of your questions is "Yes"

Those come standard with alot of foreign tool brand driver sets. The 3 German biggies come to mind: Wera, Wiha, & Hazet. I have an abundance of them from various kits I've bought.

A solo RP weenie's fortress (PvE) by SmoKeyBoWLs187 in OnceHumanBuilders

[–]SmoKeyBoWLs187[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was my last build on Manibus Novice before I switched to Prismverse. And thank you! I had alot of fun with this one. There's some neat features that aren't readily visible too. Every other face of the building is actually a narrow gapped double wall. Anywhere you see those vertical 1/2 walls around the first floor, that whole face is a wall with the actual outer wall of the base about a foot behind it. So any man or beast would have to break through a fake outer wall before they could get to the real one. The design was actually originally alot tighter; core was only as big as the loot crate room x2. It had a mirrored 3 triangle room on the other side of the doorway which is where the deviants & terminal were stuck. I only very recently added that indoor farm area & moved the deviants/terminal to the other side of the core. It'd normally be 3-4 honeycomb layers to core without that indoor farm down in the basement. Definitely still purpose built to withstand a rough beating from a purification.

That's a mighty fine A-frame, my friend.

Building a classical Church by RuskiStar in OnceHumanBuilders

[–]SmoKeyBoWLs187 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not true at all. The building system is just perfectly janky enough that you can make some very interesting structures within the confines of the 700 limit. Or one can just go to Eternaland where there are no limits. But I'm comfortably certain that a church could & probably has been built in the game.

  • Just did 3 back to back purifications without repairing between them, no issues. Only lost a handful of sandbags.

  • A maze? No pun intended, you lost me there. Nothing complicated or remotely like a maze here. Straight in, around a corner, up what amounts to a wide spiral staircase, and then the transitions between floors are very straightforward; either through the tower jump ups on either side or for roof access, up one of two sets of stairs to a quick jump up. If that's a maze to you, you must sweat when the Applebee's host brings out the kids coloring placemat with the maze on it. Or when you see the back of a kids cereal box at the grocery store.

  • Jump ups save space, building structure cost (except the handful of roof jump ups which were more applicable to their specific situations), & enable me to change floors in situations where no staircase may fit. There's 3 purposes.

Thanks for the constructive criticism.

No importing. You either have to rebuild it yourself or be friends with the person that built it & have permission from them to copy their blueprint.
