I assume he means finely/precisely picked targets. Not randomly throw some bombs at a city kind of attacks

Didn’t the BBC article have footage? You could see a missile/drone fly in. But I’m not knowledgeable enough to recognize which is which in the few frames you saw it.

Oh my lord, the actual fuck is that. That’s so depressing to see. Who actually wants to go such a beach? I guess it’s a case of being to European to understand.

It’s as much a war as the 3 day special military operation is a war. Don’t down play the misery, people are getting bombed. Or did we already forget about the school children being murdered?

How come people with MBA studies are too dumb to see that easily cheated metrics, are easily cheated? What do they actually teach in those studies? Have 5 mission statements that are the exact opposite of how we actually act, and fire people do line go brrr? That’s it?

Did you guys just completely miss the joke or something? I mean it’s not subtle or anything…

The US sounds like such a hell hole with people like Ryan in it.

Wow that’s absolutely disgusting actually, thanks for the vid.

Too be fair, why would you even go to Starbucks in the first place? Kinda on yourself to get scammed there, that whole place is a scam. So they are just doing as people ought to expect from them.

I had sponsored stuff disabled too, and it still shows up. So it’s not ‘user-error’. Now don’t get me wrong. I’m excited for the world cup so I don’t mind the countdown. But only excited to see how big of a cluster fuck it’s going to be.

Is Intel rumored to drop it’s GPU line? Haven’t really kept up to date lately.

Ah ok you’re a troll. Got it.

Yet you posted this and didn’t stop to think about it?

Oh he’s also very ignorant of it. But that’s because he doesn’t considers those people to be people. So he doesn’t give it a thought

So, Water…?

Protests aren’t always about (actually pretty much never about) an immediate demand being met. They’re about getting people together and building a network of likeminded people. They’re about demonstrating to others around you that they might not be alone in thinking things aren’t OK. They’re a step in the process.

I’ve heard this repeated sooooo many times every time this comes up. So at what point are you actually going to do anything with that “network”. Or is it just to find friends to moan with?

Did a hell lot more than King’s days protest, at least it was a debate for way longer. But they suffered from too little numbers in the end. But of course you can ignore all other long-term peaceful protests, like the salt march, to dismiss the underlying point

As long as Americans think one day peaceful protests will do anything, I don’t see a anything happening. That concept is so mind boggling dumb imho. If you’re not willing to commit for weeks/months, and say from the start, ‘ah tomorrow we will be gone’. Then why wouldn’t the government just ignore it? No you put out your demands and sit down in Washington DC or NY or something until the demands are met. Giving it a deadline just doesn’t make any sense at all.

Now if this would actually happen, I don’t see it stay peaceful for very long, but probably a tiananmen square situation developing. With how little the gov cares about people’s well being.

But to be honest, the US probably needs vigilantes/rebels a la the Black Panthers for anything to happen.

The democracy route? Yeah it’s way past that point already. As long as people like Bernie Sanders (or anyone more left than Bush) keep getting marked as some kind of ‘communist’, nothing will happen there. That propaganda has been gobbled up too much already.

Hah no they don’t. My partner doesn’t even really know what a browser is, or where the distinction between phone/pc and ‘the internet’ lies. Sure she might have heard of the word ‘firefox’ but no way she can explain what it is or does.

I’ve worked in the Netherlands and Belgium, both gave me compensation for travelling to work. In the Netherlands they paid my gas. In Belgium it was a fixed stipulation depending on distance and mode of travel. Honestly I can’t see how anything else is not just a rip off.
