Folx pls read the damn article. The territory being claimed is underwater. It is not frozen land that is thawing out. Still sucks because it’s the devil trying to extract more resources but it’s NOT land

Okay yeah you’re right. I was getting tripped up by the quote before it saying this would allow them to counter the PLA’s numbers advantage because to me it implies that they think the PLA wouldn’t use autonomous killing.

Does anyone have any recent stats as far as Jewish American support of Israel? I keep seeing on here and some other spots that Israel is extremely controversial among American Jews and a large proportion don’t support it, but that doesn’t track with my own anecdotal experience. Every Jewish person that I know is ardently supportive of Israel and the Zionist project, talk about wanting to move there, etc. I am not Jewish so apologies if this comes off as disrespectful, not the intent.

“I don’t think people we would be up against would do that, and it would give them a huge advantage if we put that limitation on ourselves.”

This article is terribly written so I’m not sure how to interpret this statement, which is not given much context. Are they admitting that China wouldn’t use autonomous murder bots? So they’re basically saying “those Chinese won’t let computers kill with reckless abandon but we sure as shit will!”

I absolutely hate this

Most of these are in my mega playlist lmao

When I was 6, my alcoholic aunt made this pudding spiked with rum. Think pudding shots, but a big bowl of it.

Thanksgiving in my family was always self serve, as in they’d put all the food on a folding table and everyone loads up their plates with what they want, buffet style. I’ve been told that this is a strange way of doing it, let me know if you think so. Anyway, this big bowl of delicious looking homemade chocolate pudding was not marked as alcoholic, and I had no idea. No one told me about it or said not to eat the pudding. So I ate some. A lot. Like a big fucken bowl of it and then some more.

It was delicious! I didn’t recognize the taste of rum, but the astringency of it and my small range of taste experience made me think it was some strange variety of mint, and I loved it.

Soon enough I started to feel a little weird, and thought I ate too much (I did) and went and tearfully told my mom how I ate too much and got a tummy ache. She could smell the alcohol on my breath, and immediately went to check the pudding.

Turns out my aunt didn’t tell anyone about the alcohol in the pudding! So that made my mom very angry at my aunt, but I was preoccupied with how I felt. Despite the upset stomach, I was vibing and having a good time, and feeling a lot more social than normal and was living it up with the rest of the kids when before I was eating pudding alone in the corner.

TLDR, I ate a ton of unmarked pudding shots and got wasted for the first time at the age of 6, and enjoyed it.

I think there’s probably a lot more human experimentation going on than any of us would like to think.

This guy I worked with, who seemed to be of solid mind and not prone to psychological weirdness from what I knew of him, told a story that stuck with me. He said that he and his wife were having a beer in their backyard around dusk, just chatting and enjoying the nice weather, when they noticed an orange orb in the sky. They looked at it for a minute, when suddenly it launched right towards them and came to an immediate dead stop a few hundred feet above them, and just hovered there for a few seconds. Before either of them had the chance to snap out of the shock and try to take a pic, it had zipped off below the horizon. He said it made no noise and was absolutely not a plane/drone/helicopter/etc. At first I thought he had taken meth or some kind of psych, because that’s a fucking weird ass thing to claim to have seen. But I know he’s not that type of guy, and I know beer isn’t gonna make you see things like that. Plus, according to him his wife saw it too and can back him up. He seemed to be really unsettled when he recounted it, and the more I think about it the more creeped out I get. The way he described it, it basically just showed up, got extremely close extremely fast, looked at them for a minute, and then left as quick as it came. A brief and harmless encounter, but enough to totally shatter your worldview and understanding of what’s possible. It might be a tall tale or a pipe dream, but I still think of it whenever I’m just hanging around outside around dusk.

My mom has a similar story from when she was around 16. She got home late from a friend’s house and once she got in her bedroom, she saw a man standing right outside her window and jerking off. She said her dad had to point a shotgun at his face before he finally took off. It took about an hour for the cops to get there because (rural area in the 70s) and of course by then they were no help. After that, they installed metal bars in all the windows in the house, and got blackout drapes. And my grandpa always kept a loaded shotgun on top of a cabinet in the living room afterwards.

Time after time, “I’m anti-LGBT” ends up actually meaning “I’m a pedophile”, yet they insist on gaslighting everyone that we’re the actual predators. How does anyone keep falling for it???
