Yeah no. That’s antisemitic bullshit you see literal Nazis spout off about.

This recent “story” was only posted in a shitty tabloid, picked up by a couple other shitty tabloids, and gullible people spread it all over social media.

Well I’m convinced! /s

Idk, pretty sure TinTin is Belgian

My favourite is “absolute free speech!!” combined with “if you say something someone doesn’t like, they are entitled to punch you”

Anyone who says that is forgetting that punching falls under assault.

Hate speech is far beyond merely “something I don’t like”. It is advocating for the oppression and even eradication of people based on their very identity.

Hate speech should not be tolerated if we want to live in a society that tolerates the existence of others. (So called “paradox of tolerance” which is really not a paradox when you frame it as I have). We can tolerate the existence of bigoted assholes but prohibit them spreading their bigotry. Otherwise we live in a society that supports intolerance.

Well, we sure as shit better not get “involved” on the ground in Iran.

The real obstacles are anti-intellectualism and extremist right wing propaganda.

USGS research geologist Jeff Pigati and his colleagues (including Bennett and other co-authors of the 2021 paper) recently radiocarbon-dated conifer pollen—mostly from fir, spruce, and pine—from the same ancient ground surface as the tracks and the ditchgrass seeds. They also used another type of dating, called optically stimulated luminescence (a type of dating that measures when a grain of quartz was last exposed to sunlight) on sediment samples from between the oldest two layers of tracks. The results lined up very well with Bennett and his colleagues’ original radiocarbon dates; the tracks couldn’t be any younger than about 21,500 years old.

I had never heard of this other method with the quartz. Interesting.

Ditchgrass, as its name suggests, is an aquatic plant, exactly the kind of thing you’d expect to find along the shore of a lake. But aquatic plants tend to soak up groundwater, which can contain older carbon than the rain that waters more landlubberly plants. Seeds from aquatic plants like ditchgrass can (but don’t always) look older than they really are when radiocarbon-dated—sort of like the radiocarbon version of carrying a fake ID.

The other two methods don’t suffer such problems. So now that they have similar results from these methods the evidence is much stronger.

Er… North America. :)

Yes it’s a law. If we get drunk and silly our cops come find us and shoot us. Usually doesn’t happen because we’re trained to be angry drunks from birth.

Oh shut yer fuckin borscht hole already, сука блять

Coincidentally I just started to do so last night. Looking forward to these episodes.

I mean this is an old article (2015) but up until 7 mo ago when he entered hospice care he was continuing to do good left and right it seems like.

I feel like he is one of the few politicians that wasn’t a corrupt asshole. We need more like that at all levels of government to walk back all the corruption. Hard to get a critical mass of non corrupt jerks though. The greedy sociopaths are drawn to political office like moths to flame.

PS: happy bday JC

This is me. I see you

Interesting. I know that Ukraine was given a bunch of handheld anti tank weapons to great effect. And I guess the Bradleys are supposed to be adept as tank killers?

I’m not sure what Russia has in the way of similar besides drones.

Why do they even need the M1 tanks?

More like eating the escape pill to GTFO of that hellhole for a little while (or eternally)

Uh have they tried using anti mine systems to clear a path? I’m pretty sure western military doesn’t just go charging forward crossing their fingers…

Yes true if they lack appropriate air support and logistics support. Which is the case for Ukraine.

Modern western strategy is very different from that of WW2. The key is integration of air support, artillery, armor, infantry, etc. If Ukraine had superior fighter jets, to gain air superiority and anti tank and anti personnel platforms like A10 and Apache, all platforms working in sync and all backed by logistics support to keep everything operating, it would be a different story I guess.

Related, I wonder if they’re suggesting the old Russian tanks would somehow perform better than the western ones? Because as far as I know, western tanks have the best armor systems, the highest accuracy, and the ability to fire while moving. Maybe they need to adapt their tactics to make better use of their platforms?

From an evolutionary standpoint, yeah, we’re donuts or tubes. It was either that or cups. Those creatures, like sea anemones eat and expel, erm, waste out of the same hole.

An example of a fellow tube is a sea cucumber

I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit
