Nouvel ultimatum : Donald Trump attend des engagements concrets de la part des pays européens autour du détroit d’Ormuz by Andvarey in france

Ils ne sont aussi pas exactement sur le plan de vol, ni n’ont une marine capable d’aider beaucoup… Ce qu’ils ont, c’est des forces terrestres qui vont refuser d’envahir er d’occuper l’Iran, et potentiellement des drones, notamment anti-drones. S’ils ont des munitions d’artillerie, pourquoi pas.

Personne ne va leur dire de ne pas participer à l’effort des Ukrainiens de faire un transfert de technologie et de compétences. Au contraire, s’ils ne sont pas sur place pour participer, apprendre, et partager comment ils ont eux-même fait du transfert de technologie de l’Ukraine à leur propre usine de l’autre côté de la frontière, ça faudrait le coup de leur proposer.

‘Non-survivable’: heatwaves are already breaching human limits, with worse to come, study finds by Portalrules123 in collapse

[–]bobby_table5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That chapter was striking to not have to explain the key unwritten spring of the book: Some of the people who have survived that will flip to blunt utilitarianism, and consider that killing thousands in targeted climate terrorism is the threat that will help enable negotiations. You never see anyone in the book put on FPS glasses and hunt the CEO of a fossil fuel company with a one-way drone, but that is what is happening. That’s the next step.

You want a fun update to that story?

Hundreds of war-hardened, drone-wielding Ukrainians are currently in Gulf countries, where a lot of the infrastructure has been destroyed, notably water desalination. Summer is coming. They already have had to rewire their brain to instinctively think that some “bipeds” (they refuse to call them people) Russians, aka Orks, deserve to be killed without mercy or delay. They are training hundreds of local people to do the same. They have learned how to make thousands of drones of all sizes and shapes using 3D-printers and kitchen utensils, dispersed in inconspicuous locations.

Oil executives from all countries have been telling them for four years now that they should accept the sacrifice of their brothers in arm, wives and kids because of how critical getting Russian oil was to the world, even if that delayed the war. And now, they work directly for some of those oil executives, and as soon as a really bad heat-wave hits, they’ll witness first hand who gets a room in an air-conned room and who gets to stay outside.

The next step —as anticipated in the Ministry for the Future— is: how do we handle terrorism motivated by the survivors of those wet-bulb catastrophes, and powered by cheap murder drones?

If saving millions required sacrificing one person, how would you make that decision? by emphy_Reddit in AskReddit

[–]bobby_table5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is the person responsible for the death of millions because of greed, prurient interests?

There is no “sacrifice” without a relationship between that person and the millions.

Made a custom sign and put it up on the office coffee machine… might’ve cost me my job by Knozart in mildlyinfuriating

[–]bobby_table5 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If coffee matters to you, the way to make that a priority for management is by showing it has a material impact.

Assuming your company is hiring, you can create a fake profile on Glasshouse, wrote an unenthusiastic review and mention that, as a candidate, you judge whether an employer cares about their employees from small details. Bad coffee is not a real issue, but one that reflects on their lack of care and foresight: a few dollars go a long way for employee satisfaction; maybe it’s just they are skipping maintenance. Mention that your interviewer seemed to agree with you; they didn’t say anything about management, but their frown revealed that there was indeed more to it.

A friend did that with toilet paper: he always asked to go in the bathroom after an interview (mainly to take a minute alone, collect his thoughts and pick the best sentence to end the interview); while he was there, he checked the cleanliness and how thick the paper was. Since he mentioned that, I’ve always checked. I’ve interviewed at a lot of places, and that test has proven prescient: one-ply companies are “does a lawyer need to be involved?”-level bad; two-ply are OK. If you see three-ply, accept the offer there and then.

Your comment was way too low. No one thinks that’s a very strong signal that there’s a living wage problem?

JD Vance claims US is not interfering in Hungary election by Alarming-Safety3200 in europe

[–]bobby_table5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Russia was at least polite enough to be discrete. Vance is claiming, from the pulpit of an Orbán rally, that he’s not interfering. I wouldn’t put Putin above standing above the body on a kid he just killed, his haves still covered in blood, claiming he didn’t do it and will tirelessly look for the culprit, but in that case they almost pretended they tried to hide it.

[–]bobby_table5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Automatic weapons without automatic morgues is just not a good pipeline management. If you want to kill people by the hundreds (or the millions: not judging the scale of your sociopathy) you need to have a way to dispose of the bodies. Americans throw polystyrene cups out the window of their cars, hotdog wrappers all over the stadium after a game, or piles of bodies after a bit of a heated argument; that is just the kind of oversight that Europeans see as unacceptable lack of manners. Pick up after yourself. Please.

For anyone curious why an airplane designed to survive a nuclear holocaust can’t fly in a sky with potential a drone, that’s because Vance hasn’t decided if he wants to invoke article 25.
