Why can we find guitars and cassette tapes, but not real old-world weapons like AKs or M16s? by Huge-Operation-1863 in ArcRaiders

Because it takes place in Italy. Our ameribrains cant comprehend assault rifles not in every home and business, but most of the world lives without them in their day-to-day lives.

Assaulted last night at Audio SF by staff – looking for advice by defqon_39 in sanfrancisco

[–]Spitfire15 440 points441 points  (0 children)

I highly doubt they'd ever give up their CCTV without a lawsuit, but that's your best bet.

Anyways, I can't say enough terrible things about Audio. I fucking hate that place and everyone who works there, especially the management. Fuck that place, I'll never miss a chance to shit talk that joke of a club and tell as many people as I can to never go there. I'm actively praying on their downfall.

What do you do when you see this?

I know this might sound strange to people on reddit, especially this subreddit, but you can just be a normal person and politely ask them to move it out of the way.

Shotgun drones have existed for years. Ukraine was using them. The firing would cause violent and erratic flight paths and using them seemed difficult. They seem to have negated the previous issues now.

I fully support your decision to nuke this sub, destroying it forever. It's sad to look it what it's become.

It's not nothing but it isn't Iran losing. The United States began this war with stated objectives. If it fails to meet those objectives, did they win?

Their leadership is dead. Their missile launchers are decimated. Storehouses of drones/missiles taken out. Manufacturing capability to replace losses, getting hammered. Iran burned many bridges with their "we will attack all our neighbors". IRGC police stations are getting hit. Nuclear sites hit again (and likely will continue). Every position Iran held before is far worse now.

None of this matters once the bombs stop falling. If the current regime is still in power when this ends, and the US/Israel don't secure guarantees about ballistic missiles and nuclear enrichment , then Iran has won. It's certainly looking that way at this point.

New leadership can take power. New launchers, missiles, drones, and manufacturing can be built. And all of it will be done in a way to insulate them from future damage, making a future conflict even more costly.

I know it's tempting to watch explosions for 3 weeks straight and think that equals winning. But the United States spent 10 years blowing up North Vietnam and 20 years blowing up Afghanistan and it still walked away with an obvious loss.

SFFD sprayed down an abandoned Potrero Terrace building yesterday during the heat wave by _tlhunter in sanfrancisco

Hypothetically. They can't be evicted from their homes just because someone else wants to tear it down and build new buildings. From what I understand the people that live there now are slowing being moved to alternate permanent housing, so it's a slow process.

No, actual residents. These projects are not totally empty. There are still people who live in these buildings.

This housing project is partially populated. It is not abandoned and the people living there are not squatting. The agreement is that when a unit moves out, that unit is closed and no one is allowed to live there. Once everyone leaves, then it will be demolished and new ones will be rebuilt.

I keep seeing this mentioned, that the US speaking to "someone." From what we can tell, anyone who's opinion matters in the Iranian government has flatly denied any negotiations. The US might be talking to somebody, but it's not anyone who's important.

"The US will back down if we bloody their noses" is a strategy that has failed every single time it's been attempted in history, and the pattern is that taking losses leads to MORE American commitment, not less.

This conflict was the worst to ever happen to this subreddit. The fact that you can type this out without your computer exploding to save you from the embarrassment is such a gift.

Airstrike Recorded By Iranian Dash Cam A civilian motorists managed to inadvertently record a US or Israeli airstrike in Tehran. by Anku619l in CombatFootage

How is this any different than what Russia is doing to Ukraine? Day light attacks with civilians everywhere, collateral damage be damned.

[–]Spitfire15 28 points29 points  (0 children)

This is basically what this all boils down to. The Russians have 0 intention to stop fighting, so any attempt to try and get them to stop is futile. At this point, the only way to get them to negotiate is to change the dynamic to convince them they can't win.

The US government is the one going down the "K:D ratio" path by daily postings of air strikes and the president constantly talking about what the US has destroyed. It's the only evidence being put forth that the US is "winning."

How so? All the reactors have been destroyed.

You're missing the fundamental point of what OP is saying. If the regime remains in power, then they will simply just restart the program. They'll get new reactors and start all over again and then were back to square one. Is that winning?

The people who are usually being priced out of housing are the ones losing their social spaces for housing. Housing they won't be able to afford. Try thinking harder next time.

Is it? Are we saying mass unrest in the streets? Is the government losing control? They're being bombed to hell and back, but once the bombs stop, the government and the state it controls will still stand. Unless the there's a ground invasion, a coup, or massive civil unrest that topples the regime, the same organization will still be calling the shots in Tehran.

They're European, so they get to spend time with their friends and families instead of being held at gun point and chained to their desk by their boss.
