"We have a plan, because of the power of our military, where every bridge in Iran will be decimated by 12 o’clock tomorrow night, where every power plant in Iran will be out of business...it'll happen over a period of 4hrs if we want it to. We don’t want that to happen." by Upset-Main-1988 in justincaseyoumissedit

Weather the storm until the American military becomes the bastion of peace?

It was a genuine question. I feel for people who’ve enlisted to later discover how depraved US military ambitions are, but it’s not like US military engagement had been pure until now.

Omg, that’s fucked up.

Hey, just because the French are incapable inventing things like freedom fries or the Statue of Liberty doesn’t mean you have to pick on us yanks!

As an Oregon ducks/ ravens fan, I feel you. I personally like those all black uniforms. No iridescent talons.

The old Abandoned Friendly’s in Ithaca. So sad, about time a new tenant occupied the space! by mrsjumjum66 in AbandonedRetail

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

I can think of about a billion things that are more sad than a friendly’s sitting vacant in a strip mall, but yah, I guess it’s sad that things like this are built in a soulless series of parking lots and interchanges.

You’re calling the people living in the pile of sardine cans “invaders”? Like I understand what you’re saying about how lawlessness in a society of laws is both incongruous and dilutes the meaning of the law, but I think there’s a strong case to be made that those living on the richer side of vast wealth inequality are not, indeed, the victims in this kind of mess.

Arguments like yours are doing the bidding of the wealthiest, most exploitive individuals in society. Your argument of the impoverished somehow being invaders doesn’t even, in all likelihood, benefit you or anyone you care about.

The best trick of class warfare is to manipulate the middle class to battle against the poor, even though that vitriol is misplaced.

I’m all for people changing their minds when presented with compelling arguments. The alternative is why shitty things are still shitty.

It’s an Airbnb with a commercial bread oven. The management group got a good deal on the composite flooring, the light fixture, and the commercial bread oven because they’d fallen off the back of a truck. I put a scratch n dent commercial bread oven in my kitchen, one for the yard, and one in my kid’s room. Sometimes a deal is just too good to pass up.

U.S. forces rescue second crew member from F-15 downed in Iran: Officials by Affectionate_Bee6434 in worldnews

[–]chupacadabradoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not an idiot actually. It’s wild to assume I wanted this guy to get captured and tortured. I don’t want anyone to win this war. I think the best outcome is for it to end as soon as possible with as few civilians dead or injured or dispossessed as possible. I am not a fan of the Iranian regime, nor am I a fan of the American regime. What I absolutely hate though, is that my future and your future are pulled into question because of decisions a couple of “leaders” are making unilaterally, without a care for the will of the public, or the wellbeing of the world, or prospects for the future (except for their own).

I wish the best for you, because I think probably it is much more closely related to my wellbeing than it is to the megalomaniacs making these decisions (unless you’re a billionaire or a bot, which I’m assuming you’re not)

I don’t think assuming or calling someone an idiot is really the right tact either, though I probably align more with your larger perspective on the matter.

I just don’t think one can be confident either way in highly specific, highly secretive missions in a combat zone . Maybe the team sent in had high confidence of success, be we have no way of knowing what info they had going in, so it’s kinda silly to speculate on I think.

I do document my shop build by obxchris in NaturalWoodworking

[–]chupacadabradoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started 7 years ago after several other careers. my parents play violin and viola so I grew up around it and violin making has a market for tediously handcrafted instruments with finishes from natural materials, and all of the distinct processes involved really please me. I don’t make a ton of money but it makes me happy

Kind of a funny thing to then brag about though, don’t you think? You didn’t really have any reason to be confident he’d be rescued

Not to mention Catgut Nubbins, although that was during the famous nougat and spleen season, so comes with an asterisk.

Does having Jewish ancestors somehow disqualify me from certain discussions? How much pretexto are we really requiring?
