:(

What the fuck?

Hell no it’s way fun.

Or was way fun. I remember it being fun. I don’t want to have memories

Ok so I’m absolutely confused. I hate deli Ham but the kind of Ham and you cook for feasts is amazing

Are you telling me that’s not the same Ham? And I’m NOT insane that deli ham IS disgusting?

Are we talking like actual porn on tiktok or just women dancing in bikinis? Because one of those used to be called the MTV channel, and the other was always being accessed by teens with a few clicks.

Hehehehe

You absolutely won’t be disappointed by explosing your database to SQL directly from the API.

Abject resistance is important. Connections are important. Communication is important. Logistics are important. Leave the fighting to the fighters. We’re not fremen. We didn’t live our whole lives to become death commandos.

Alright, I encourage you to lead by example and tell me how it goes.

Arguably the morale was because we were fighting enemies we didn’t know how to fight, nor did we have a way to respond to tactics they used.

We went into all those wars with overwhelming firepower, which caused the opposition to resort to pure guerrilla tactics. In Vietnam, they faced Chinese and USSR pilots in the air - which did not go as planned. We stomped the shit out of the Iraq army, but Saddam was holding the 3 opposing factions in check. When they splintered and became guerrillas they fought with suicide bombers. Same in Afghanistan. They waged a psychological war where the enemy was everywhere and nowhere.

I have specific story about the Korean war too. At the time in Korea, the US war machine couldn’t break through the Chinese supplied artillery and forces. They actually had forward air bases (extremely well guarded) have several occurrences where they got Intel they were targets of a North Korean force, and the air force servicemen, most of who were various technicians, mechanics, and logistics get fully prepared to meet infantry head on. (My grandpa explained that they weren’t even that close to North Korean territory, and when they scrambled all available jets at their base, he recalls him and even his superiors being shook.). They got helmets, a choice of an M1911A1 or an M1, and a few clips of ammo. Most of them took the handgun since it was the only one they remembered how to operate. He doesn’t remember how long they were in that defensive position, but apparently the North Koreans changed targets a few miles out and went elsewhere. He said back then, at 6’4" him and all the other tall guys were always at the forward bases, probably to make the south Koreans feel safer and scare the North Koreans abit.

Toward Vietnam, at the end of his contract, they approached him and a group of 8 others for air commando training. He said fuck no, 5 said sure. 1 came back, and the last time my granpa talked with him they still hadn’t recovered their bodies (who knows when that was).

There’s a reason they’re trying their damndest to provoke people into a shooting match but:

Yes.

However, the idea was created in mind so that everyone could be armed in case this very thing happened to occur BUT did not take into consideration advancement in technology, and the ability of the federal government to restrict arms.

Based on the photos I’ve seen, the feds are wearing plate carriers - level IV body armor, designed to stop a .30-06 round. If it’s level 3, it’s gonna stop .223 (Ar-15).

Very few citizens have automatic weapons. You can’t own an RPG without the the right documents. Explosive manufacturing is dangerous, and difficult.

You can’t match federal firepower with the second amendment.

The feds are currently using coward tactics. They are kidnapping people who can’t afford decent housing, let alone smartphones. They go in fast, kidnap everyone, and get out. Even with armed people, they wouldn’t be able to respond fast enough.

That’s why all of us Americans can quickly tell when someone is just trying to start shit when they get angry online…

There are ways to fight back. But they require patience, communication, planning, subterfuge, and more importantly OPSEC. Otherwise the regime just slaughters everyone like they want to.

So is our fascist government granting wishes yet? I feel like the moment they start changing people’s speech they also have the ability to grant wishes within certain bounds, and so far I haven’t seen any offers of granting wishes.

These government genies are the worst

Man, I don’t get it. Infantry has pretty much been a “hold this heavy ass shit, walk long distances, kill enemies before they kill you.”

And somehow militaries for thousands of years have been able to convince huge groups of young men to either sign up for this or because they were told “or else.”

And I guess “or else” is usually starvation, conscription, or execution. At any point a group being trained could say “yo guys this is stupid” everyone else would probably agree, and then the entire army thing would … Stop. wouldn’t it?

If they come for you, your only obligation is to not make it easy.

I don’t know how far back I’m going then I guess.

Maybe modern history. Like 1700s- present

That’s way more than I was expecting.

But now you have me thinking all sorts of other questions.

But it really can be summed up with: goddamn what don’t soldiers carry? Like you got a have less cartilage in those knees after a deployment to an active battlefield than anyone older than 70?

Man I’ll be honest, I haven’t looked at it in a while.

If I had to guess, the exact opposite of what he says.

This is how all modern wars have been and will be won.

You can send as many troops with 90 rounds of ammo and a rifle (I don’t fucking know how much ammo they carry) tanks, artillery, jets, etc.

But if you cut off the enemies ability to utilize oil, them you nueter their war machine.

Everything in modern warfare requires refined oil. And every war in last few centuries has been won by halting supplies to the front lines.

Ah yes, the ever old reliable RCI.

Reverse Cramer Index.

“No Duh,” say senior developers everywhere.

I’m so glad this was your first line in the post

My therapist has talked to me a lot about acceptance. I accept that it’s terrifying and we should fight back.

That’s still easier to live with than accepting what happened in my previous marriage.

We can individually contribute to resisting the regime. For LGBTQ, minorities, and people with disabilities simply surviving is active resistance.

I can’t do anything to make my ex unfuck the other dude.

Right, the ones in power get to define it.

The ones in power also define all of those things as any legal or illegal attempts to remove the ones in power from power.

They also think they’re clever
