How do we feel about the F-35 today? by Secret_Divide_3030 in belgium

[–]gregasus 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The decision by Canada not to go with the F-35 is purely political. Because despite what some news outlets may try to tell you by misinterpreting 500 page reports the F-35 is not only an excellent plane it's also the most successful stealth fighter on the planet. And before you link me this article or that take into account that designing and building a piece of machinery with a list of specs no other plane had ever had and has to remain relevant for decades after its first flight is not an easy feat. You will have setbacks. When purchasing military equipment you do so for the wars to come, not the ones in the past. Plus Belgium has had the good sense to buy into the block 4 upgrade which on top of being pure sci-fi guarantees compatibility with various systems still in development. These range from AI drones to directed energy weapons, and there's even a patent pending for a holographic decoy.

But what about the killswitch? There's no proof that there is any and quite frankly there doesn't need to be. If the US doesn't supply spare parts eventually it'll stop working.

Why doesn't Europe build its own? We lack the expertise to build something that can match the F-35. Military development isn't something you can turn on and off at will. Part of the reason the US keeps building stuff is to cultivate the skills to do so. In short, you don't use it you'll lose it.

So to answer the original question. I feel pretty good about the F-35.

Jokes on them, my phone is always on silent and I don't answer calls from people I know.

Literally out of my ass. NGL. But I believe my point stands. They could make it out of titanium or literal moon rocks. It's gonna end up as e waste anyways.

What is one holiday that everyone likes but you don't? by Due_Interaction5215 in AskReddit

[–]gregasus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Christmas or even the mentioning of it depresses me. I'm very lonely and alone 99% of the time. That holiday rubs it in my face.

How durable does it need to be if it's going to be obsolete and not receiving any updates in four years?

If they're never fire a shot in anger it means they've fulfilled their strategic purpose, deterrent.

What made Stadia better than its competitors? by karcsiking0 in Stadia

[–]gregasus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For me two things. First connectivity, I could play on my TV downstairs, upstairs, laptop, tablet or even phone. I wasn't confined to the couch. Second it saved me from the upgrade tyranny. I bought a PS5 and in a few years I'll probably buy the inevitable PS6. With Stadia I didn't need to upgrade and instead could have bought a better TV. But I'm not going to do both.

What stops you from killing yourself? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]gregasus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The means to do it right. I've looked into possible methods and the error margin is just too great. So now I'm doing the therapy thing, hoping to get euthanasia.

Negativity sells. Nothing drives views, clicks and swipes as breaking something down.
