Think off-brand Michael Meyers mask.

Happy Pride!

I love the meme is based on the tarot art of 7 of swords carrying swords and the 9 of swords mounted on the wall, and is consistent with the number of items collected increasing from left to right :)

The mesh increases the ‘hit box’ of the interceptor. It’s conductive, so it is more likely to trigger the kamikaze than a normal in-air collision.

I don’t think the interceptor is expected to survive a successful interception. In the case of a miss, it will be reusable tho, unlike other defense munitions. If any parts of either drone survive, they’ll fall in defender controlled territory, and be available to be fed back into the drone manufacture supply chain.

It’s a trucking company that the CEO lied was going bankrupt, as an excuse not to pay a cancer-stricken trucker.

There are no records of ATG Truckload formally filing for bankruptcy.

Cheap kamikaze drones have loose wires on the front. When the wires touch, like when they collide with an object in front of them, it completes a circuit that detonates the payload.

A wide conductive screen mesh on the back of an interceptor drone seems like a cheap, simple countermeasure.

Did anyone else catch the detail of the French-coded resistance in Andor using their metal-tipped canes to break up the pavement in the square before the Ghorman Massacre?

This will remain the main one for serious discussion for April.

Good answer.

This comment requires at least a ‘Poser’ Tier.

Not that it matters, because I didn’t make a whataboutist argument in the first place.

I agree that you didn’t make an argument.

Where a ‘liberal’ is anyone a totalitarian disagrees with, and a ‘source’ is a half-hearted general link to a Wikipedia article.

Edit: Davel has now expanded his low-effort response to be more than a Wikipedia link to Five Eyes.

Yes, this would be an excellent [email protected] post. You can find all of the posts on Maja here, they are categorized as [DEU] because the arrest was due to the agency of the German police, and it is due to the injustice of German courts that they are now being tortured in Hungary. Maja’s voice is most loudly amplified by the Dresden ABC, and I’ve been unable to find an ABC in Hungary; those are also factors in its localization.

If you preface the post with [DEU] and highlight Maja in the title, the post will also be easily searchable. You can copy the [DEU] and Maja search links from any other Maja post text.

That’s some really low-effort whataboutism.

The tactic is an old favorite of the Soviet Union, and Marxists/the far left in general; the strategy was originally used in the form of “And at your place, they hang black people.” The term ‘whataboutery’ itself, however, only dates back to 1974 with its use in The Troubles in Northern Ireland, whereas the term ‘whataboutism’ dates back to 1978 with reference to the Soviet Union.

In recent years, whataboutism made a comeback in Russia under Vladimir Putin’s regime (since they seemingly learned all the wrong lessons from the Cold War), and has also seen a rise in usage by Donald Trump, his support base, and the rest of the far-right.

Now is not the time for the climate movement to say “yes you’re right, those kids really are too disruptive, shame on them.” I’m not suggesting that people publicly support tactics they don’t approve of, but perhaps just…shut up once in a while? Let a protest tactic you don’t agree with slide now and again? Skip the op-ed about how the fringe climate radicals are turning people off? Leave the armchair criticism for another day?

This needs to be a Solarpunk copypasta.

When Alfredo Cospito kneecapped Roberto Adinolfi, Adinolfi yelled “I know who sent you!” as if they were professionals and he was expecting a hit from a rival. It’s not impossible, but Hollywood has produced enough assassin movies that 1) people know how to pull off a hit and 2) when others see the hit, they think “just like the movies, this guy is a professional”

That sounds like a really nice neighborhood to live in.

Thanks! Fixed the link.
