Rule #1 of humanity: “Nobody is that stupid” is always an incorrect statement.

Fucking brownshirts

It’s a law of nature, like how you can spot prey animals by their lateral eye-placement. You can spot a douche by the height of their axle.

I’ll punch a Nazi with you, but that .ml tag tells me you’re too far off the deep end to have a meaningful conversation about this.

They forfeited the right to be called my countrymen when they spat on the founding principles of the nation. They are foreign to the American ideal.

Sure Jan, I’m sure your fictionalized historical political power did everything morally upstanding and by the book.

I don’t disbelieve you, but I’d love to see where you’re getting that from. My understanding lacks such an optimistic view of the Pacific theater in WWII.

We, notably, did not extend this to Japanese PoWs nearly as much as we did for white Europeans. Now, to be sure, the Japanese did not really… do the whole PoW thing. They often remained as combatants after being captured due to Japanese propoganda about US PoW treatment. But just something to note. The “good guys” did nasty things to win the war. We had to.

They sold these and the strips next to one another at the dollar store when I was a kid. Born '95

Slammin’

One of those “pay what you want models” but backed by peer pressure when they pass the collections basket around. Also, supposedly, you miss features if you go free-to-play, but all those features are end-game anyways as part of the afterlife package and supposedly you can use the confession DLC hack just before you reach end-game so the rest doesn’t really matter.

They see no difference. Fox calls him a liberal and a communist. These are buzzwords with no meaning beyond emotional impact. They do not care about political theory.

Battery packs have a pretty fixed density-to-mAh ratio. I recommend looking for fold-out solar chargers with lower capacity. Less weight and can strap the solar cells on top of your kit so it charges while you’re out and about. It will charge slow but you walk slow, and it eliminates the need to stop into town to store up. Something around the 5-10k mAh should be plenty if you can charge it in the sun. Sucks when it rains but should charge even on cloudy days.

REI has a few options specifically chosen for their weight.

I cracked the code! The source of the polution >!is people!!<

“Papers. Now.”

There is a simple test to determine if you’re a tankie, specifically.

1. Did Tiananmen Square happen? Specifically, was it bloody, consented/orchestrated by the CCP leadership, and resulted in the deaths of unarmed civilian protesters?

2. Was it wrong that it happened?

If both answers are yes, you’re not a tankie. You believe that oppressive regimes are evil regardless of which side of the political spectrum it spawns from.

Bonus points if you think Stalin was anything but benevolent. If you think his methods were “tough, but firm,” then you’re a tankie.

It’s about psychology under fire. The doctors that treat gunshot wounds in a safe, secure ER don’t have to be trained to do so in life threatening situations when the patient can’t be moved to a secure location.

EMTs -do- sometimes experience this, and as someone who knows a former EMT, the experience is psychologically devistating when you’re there on-scene watching someone die.

I would never advocate for causing harm or distress in the name of training. That said, if you needed to desensitize an 18yo wannabe doctor, sticking him in a field with a bunch of pigs, where a drill instructor shoots one right next to them and they have to stabilize the wound right away… Yeah, that’s probably really good training for that specific role…

Let’s not make virtual CSAM please… Especially given how much of that slips into training data… Jailbreaking models gives legit children…

Iirc they’ll be using gell dummies again. Treating live animals was a way of desensitizing medics to trauma shock. Seeing a living thing in pain creates a startle effect that’s important to train out to save lives. I don’t like the idea, but it makes sense…

Just remake this exact ad with republicans and flood the internet with it. Literally build the same prompts until it’s hella obvious.
