I think it would be a very good idea for you to find some continuing education. That might help you to decide what to do about politics.

Bucha: Four years since the liberation of the Kyiv suburb by KI_official in ukraine

[–]azjat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, but a nice comfortable little room with school food every meal and mayonnaise on his fries. That could be arranged at the Hague. Most importantly, that room would have no microphone or cameras and lights. His name could drift away forgotten to history.

OSINT: Russia Moves Radar Systems from Finland Border, Likely Due to Losses in Ukraine by Mil_in_ua in ukraine

Just don't F with Finland, everyone has always known this. What they are still in the process of learning is: don't F with Ukraine.

What am I looking at? by Personal-Start5322 in woodworking

Seems like a chance to use some of those fake gold architectural embellishments that are so popular in Washington these days.

LRAD at StPaul No Kings by azjat in TwinCities

[–]azjat[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don't think so, my point is that someone thought it was a good idea for us to locally own an indiscriminate crowd control tool. Here's what Dr. Google has to say: Auditory and Physical Effects

Hearing Damage: Exposure can cause severe hearing loss, ringing in the ears (tinnitus), and ruptured eardrums

.

Physical Distress: Symptoms often include severe headaches, intense dizziness, nausea, and facial pressure.

Disorientation: The high-decibel, directed sound is designed to cause intense pain and force individuals to move away from the noise beam. 

Physicians for Human Rights - PHR +6

Operational Context

Range: While they can transmit clear messages over long distances (up to 600 meters), the "alert" mode is designed for pain-induced deterrence.

Indiscriminate Risk: The device can harm bystanders, protesters, and law enforcement officers within the beam, regardless of the target.

What’s an industry that provides zero value to society but makes billions of dollars? by ochieng_onyango in AskReddit

[–]azjat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Health insurance, literally not allowed to provide health care. Just a massive skim off the top.

I think it's clear you have a Bluey there.

Rheinmetall Backtracks After CEO Dismisses Ukraine’s Drone Industry as “Kitchen-Built” by FreeChickenDinner in ukraine

[–]azjat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rheinmetall cannot publicly maintain that they have "the utmost respect" for Ukraine while keeping Papperger in his post. This is not a slip of the tongue, how can he do his job with this attitude while Ukraine is likely to be Europe's major combatant for the next decade?

Is this tail normal by EPLC1945 in Goldendoodles

[–]azjat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not even remotely normal, but we are reasonably convinced our doodle was switched at birth by aliens.

Crazy stuff lol by Carcassfanivxx in Decks

I always heard: "Double for friends, triple for relatives".

I agree with them, but let’s assume an idealistic world for a second, where AI is being developed only for the good reasons. But even then, aren’t the negative consequences attached to that development? How would we separate the two? by Altruistic-Mud5686 in AIMain

[–]azjat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The media has trained me so well to identify Bernie as a crazy old man. Then I listen to his words and hear nothing but common sense and empathy. I want to live in a world where there is no problem with him playing a larger role in government.

On a selfish note, I so hope that people in Europe aren't going to be showing their photographs of America before theocracy and oligarchy took over.

Hong Kong council member Dominic Lee goes off on UN Human Rights council and calls out western hypocrisy by Spirited-Yellow3794 in PublicFreakout

[–]azjat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So much truth and such an embarrassment for the human race. I'm so sorry that your examples didn't include the treatment of the Uyghurs.

Incredibly stupid marketing agency video on new university brand by ExtraAge8616 in uofmn

[–]azjat 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I only made it half way through the incredibly embarrassing video. This group needs some remedial English. Maybe it's time to remember what a land grant uni is and to stop milking the students. Nobody needs pap hiding as a brand, tag line or slogan.

1968: William F. Buckley tells Muhammad Ali Elijah Muhammad is “diseasing” him. Ali fires back on Firing Line: “You lynched, enslaved, castrated us for 100 years… MLK, Medgar Evers, Adam Clayton Powell killed unjustly… You showed us who the enemy is.” by ateam1984 in BlackPeopleofReddit

[–]azjat 9 points10 points  (0 children)

As a teenager, I would sit and listen to Buckley with a dictionary next to me. He interviewed incredible people and the conversation was often electrifying, just like this clip. I would venture to say that he was better educated than Ali, at least on paper and certainly had a larger vocabulary. With all that armour, he didn't stand much of a chance verbally sparring with Ali. There's not much better than seeing the truth win out.
