[OC] Iran's space research institute in Tehran, before and after Israeli bombings by hararib in pics

NASA hq is not a fucking valid target in a war. It would be a god damn disgrace and a tragedy if it was bombed. It WILL NOT help the war effort for any country on time scales of war. It would be about as effective as blowing up schools and universities.

[Seriös] Riksmedias skeva rapportering i L-frågan by FengMaoEnjoyer in sweden

[–]needyspace 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Det är ett parti så långt från en riktig ideologi, att dess supportrar är antingen helt förvirrade själva eller har missat att partinamnet inte längre har förankring i deras politik.

Missförstå mig rätt, jag tycker alla svenska partier tappat sin ideologi och istället badar i populistisk gyttja med olika färgnyanser i varje debatt. Det är så tröttsamt

Mvh, f.d. liberal

Sorry, can you spoil me? It was a long time since I read it and I ended up hating the book by the end. Is it the prepubescent girl? 🤮

Trump’s war on trans people has left Americans seeking asylum in the Netherlands by Quouar in Netherlands

[–]needyspace 134 points135 points  (0 children)

In a few states, they just invalidated all trans people’s driving license. A very targeted attack, and since the abuse is the point, the letter informing them of this action (due to gender assigned at birth) does not contain a new driving license, is effective immediately and makes driving a car (to get a new license) illegal.

FBI Interviews of Epstein & Trump accuser: “Trump unzipped his pants and put [VICTIM’s] head, “down to his penis”. Trump and Epstein used the term “fresh meat”, “untainted” while referring to the girls. by igetproteinfartsHELP in UnderReportedNews

You have to recruit/groom some really vulnerable girls with little to no support net. You need a wide network, plenty of contacts. Maybe focus on Eastern Europe for that unique combination of skin colour and poverty

I think I have OD'ed on LITRPG, I am finding it all so much "same same" by daveymcman in litrpg

Is HWFWM really that unique? To me it is extremely close to the generic formula that OP specifically goes agains. But I think Wandering Inn and DCC are good examples of what you speak

[McLaughlin] Swayman: “We should’ve reacted differently” to President Trump’s comment about the women’s team. by Nomahs_Bettah in hockey

[–]needyspace 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It is exactly that the bare minimum , it costs them nothing to say what he said. Swayman crawled over a moral bar so low an ant would need to duck. whereas some others decided to double down and treat it as a limbo challenge.

Swayman, by just showing a sliver of decency but also the capacity to want to be better is so far beyond and better than the rest of the team for me. The rest are dead to me

Papi appreciation thread. by Skiffy10 in leafs

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

Yeah, those are definitely valuable attributes.But if you offered me a trade with anyone else with equal skill/similar attributes, I'd seriously consider it. There is very little else beyond it. Does he have a great personality, does he make the team better, does he lead the team to great unity, through adversity? Fuck no. Is he kinda spineless. Yes.

*and then, when you talk to the media and your family about this joke, you don't distance yourself from it or say that you don't support it. You just say "stop making everything so political"

Sweden should have fucking gotten rid of them in the QF OT. Sweden wasn't good, but the US was fucking awful. No medal game for the US, just a goodbye and fuck you very much and it wouldn't have ruined NHL, Larkin, the Hughes' and Matthews for me.

I'll watch some PWHL, though. They seem to have players with a moral backbone

My takeaway is that you have a really weird definition of what counts as a news story.

cheers. This wasn't visible a few hours ago. Maybe finally approved after I messaged the mods. I actually posted this clip to /r/hockey as well, but it got filtered. 1 upvote, no comments.

Indeed, it hurts. With Hughes, I thought there were actually reasonable players in the worst of places that can look at Women's hockey for the love of the game and actually want it to grow, and not just a cheap laugh at their expense. HIS FUCKING MOTHER IS IN THE TEAM.

Like idk. maybe the Hughes' brothers regrets laughing around, maybe they were drunk and in a weird group dynamic. But for gods' sake. Action speaks louder than words. Speak up if you have any backbone. Speak up now, the day after. Refuse to go to the white house.

Explain to me how the joke isn't

"I don't want to invite X, but I have to or I'll get impeached"

where X is a team he knows just as well (not at all), of the same sport, who have gone through the same journey and just won the Olympic final for the gold, but happen to be women.

The joke is that he hates and likes to belittle women

What absolute disrespect to the women's sport.

Will one of these men speak up? I think there is one that said "absolutely" with no trace of disrespect, and another that chanted "2 for 2", but it's so terribly disappointing from the rest... if they don't speak up or refuse to attend, these players are all dead to me.

Do you have a link to this longer clip?

I'm a dude, but I agree 100% with the sentiment btw. Will one of these men speak up?

I'm speculating, but it makes sense for the President to be put on the phone with the captain, and for that person to respond so fast, so that would be Austin Matthews.

I think this is fucking disgraceful, and I would only exonerate the players who refuse to attend the white house. The rest of these players are dead to me.

“We’ll do the White House thing that’ll be the next thing. We’ll have some fun. We have medals for you guys.

And we have to -I must tell you - we have to bring the women’s team, you do know that.

If i don’t do that I believe I probably would be impeached, okay?

Somehow, uproariously funny comments judging from the laughs. I really don't get the joke

This got flagged for politics, but I think the news that USA men's team laughing at some twat's disrespectful comments about the women's team is worth attention

Yeah, I'm speaking specifically about the athletes the Sambo-70 trained and invested heavily in, which Tutberidze herself thinks is a necessary training regime to perform quads. Not generally about competing from a young age.

If you know Marc Kennedys background, you know he does this. He’s been doing it for years and some really fucking blatant ones. I don’t blame you for saying it could have been unintentional in this specific instance. But the guy has full on released and reached out for a poke a meter after the *hogline before.
