in the 20th century having some british jets then getting soviet ones was a vibe. having a bunch of soviet jets and then getting french ones is a totally different type of vibe.

Butlerian Jihad now.
Sure sure you might say that my client's knife "caused" the victim to stop being able to pump blood to their brain, but Hume's 𝘌𝘯𝘲𝘶𝘪𝘳𝘺 𝘊𝘰𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘳𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘏𝘶𝘮𝘢𝘯 𝘜𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 really makes it clear that we should all have some reasonable doubt about the concept of "causation"

something which doesn't get enough attention: as anyone who deals with elderly people knows, *any* upgrade - software or forced hardware - is like a nuclear bomb on their existence and is enraging
yah even 'better camera' which was the selling point for higher price/newer models has plateaued. at some point my decision will be 'replace battery or replace phone' but i won't actually need a hardware improvement

A hard thing about living away from New York City is missing these exciting exhibitions. Can someone please stop by City Hall and buy me a t-shirt or print of the Jabba-rat(-ghostbusters?) art, which I have to assume they are selling. Why would you make something like that and not sell merch of it

it's like late 2001 when every small town in America full of ignorant narcissists considered themselves a top Al-Qaeda priority

if no one else is willing to say it, i will: i don’t think russia is going to attack ireland
When it comes to modern war, Ireland is a high-value target: its waters on the western fringe of Europe contain three-quarters of all undersea cables in the northern hemisphere. Despite this, is unprotected and unprepared.

the Irish army saying Ireland is Russia's No. 1 target is not dissimilar from people in small towns in 2001 saying Al Qaeda is coming for their high school next
