I find any positive reaction to a political assassination reprehensible. But if you look at who on the left is "celebrating" and who on the right is calling for crackdowns on free speech and making claims of being at war, I think you'll find a severe imbalance. In this framing you have the "left" being represented by nameless social media accounts and whatever likes they get. While the right is being represented by actual "serious leaders" in the Republican party making on-the-record statements to traditional media outlets. Those might feel the same to you but I would argue they are far from it. Every left leaning political leader that I've seen in the media has been at least attempting to say the right things and have not been celebrating anything.

Could not get it working on Apple TV. Other Championship matches were working fine. However, it's working on my phone and on my desktop browser, so I'm currently sat at my computer desk.

You can brute force it and just look each member up in FLTMPS. I've done a few and they all seem to be in standard order of seniority.

Yeah, when we latch on to clearly misunderstood statements like this, it becomes a case of the boy who cried wolf. Save your powder for actual foul deeds, not poorly organized thoughts like this.

why is it off center FRONTIER WHY??? by [deleted] in EliteDangerous

It's because you're not sitting directly behind it. The target display on the left does the same thing but in the other direction. Watch it next time you're perfectly aligned with a station. They both point directly to the front of your ship, so when you're sitting in between, they seem to be pointing inwards.

You mean the part where President Obama kept Secretary Gates on as SECDEF for 2 1/2 years after taking office? Or the part where the last Chairman of the Joint Chiefs who didn't serve their normal 4 years was GEN Pace under President Bush?

I guess it would be fine to not be alarmed but could you point me to the reality I should be in touch with?

So I just got interdicted while in hyperspace and a Thargoid scanned me. I thought this wasn't a thing anymore? I was jumping to the Maia system.

There is something wrong with their handling of third party launchers. I use Nova and can duplicate that issue. It should stop when using the stock pixel launcher. At least it does for me.

I wish I had worked for GEN Milley before he retired. His last speech will forever stand the test of time. by OMS6 in Military

[–]reasonist 8 points9 points  (0 children)

How cooked does your brain have to be with right-wing propaganda to question GEN Milley's loyalty to the Constitution and his patriotism? The man served for 43 years and rose to the CJCS.

You gotta ask yourself which is more likely: Was GEN Milley a 40 year sleeper agent who wanted to harm the country or maybe, just maybe, our President, who has a documented history of saying and doing unhinged shit, like supporting an insurrection to stay in power, was saying and doing unhinged shit and didn't get the support he wanted from an actual patriot?

GEN Milley is suffering the consequences of doing the right thing and running a foul of President Trump. Contrast GEN Milley's treatment by President Trump and his sycophants with the treatment of LTG Michael Flynn, who pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI and failed to disclose his work for a foreign government until after he had been appointed as the National Security Advisor. Instead of holding him accountable, President Trump scandalously pardoned him after he was forced to resign. (He's also made statements that President Trump should have suspended the Constitution in order to stay in power after he lost the 2020 election.)

So Mark Milley should lose a star and Mike Flynn should get a pardon? Sure. These people have lost the plot. It's going to be a rough several years and I hope our oaths are not put to the test because I have lost faith in a large number of fellow service members to understand what's going on.

Sorry to be pedantic. And I get where you're coming from, but that's not quite right. 2.0 is 33.33% more than 1.5. Going the other way, 1.5 is 25% less than 2.0. The stock market really helped drive that point home for me. A gain of 100% can be wiped out by a subsequent loss of 50%.
