McDonnell Douglas is actually the reason why Boeing sucks now. After Boeing took over McDonnell Douglas, the MD execs (who were skilled at office politics, but not building airplanes) wound up rising through the ranks and now Boeing is essentially run by the MD execs now.

Since Boeing became more like McDonnell Douglas after the takeover, I think it’s fair to call it a Boeing plane. It’s the McDonnell Douglas execs running Boeing now, so it’s fair to hold them responsible.

Of course not! You just need to be willing to allow Microsoft to record you while doing some full penetration.

This guy is making a meme about not everything not being a meme LOL

It’s almost like an entire generation isn’t just one person. Maybe “generations” is just another made up thing used to divide people?

I prefer it that way.

Iran invested a hell of a lot more into air defenses and really it was Israel (which has significantly less military power than the US) that cleared the way for the one US air strike there. The effectiveness of that air campaign remains to be seen, but it certainly weakened the Ayatollah, and set back their nuclear weapons program. How much damage it did to their nuke program would be something that would be kept secret by all parties, so there’s no way to know. Doesn’t stop people with a political agenda from speculating of course.

Of course whether or not the strikes were effective doesn’t change the fact that Israel was able to establish air superiority over Iran rather quickly. The US has the same weapon systems Israel has, and more of it. A lot more of it.

The US doing air strikes on Venezuela would be stupid for all kinds of geopolitical reasons, but the capability of Venezuela to inflict significant losses on the US military isn’t one of them. Venezuela has older versions of the same weapon systems Iran had since Iran and Russia are their main suppliers.

Yup. No one is going to buy his shitty robots, but he suckered the government into paying for his shitty Starship, so he figures he can get the government to buy his shitty robots too.

I did not choose to be part of the stove kettle tribe, I was born into it.

Why else did they have four hobbits in the fellowship?

You need a few spare mules in case you gotta put the first one down.

Toast is a weird thing where you take bread, which is baked, and you say “no, this needs to be baked even more! In fact I’ll buy a machine specifically for doing this!”

The safe word is “Tiberium.”

Now if you want to flatten out everything, even the floor under the sea that is then also filled with what has been land before, then we do not even need to know how much the land is. The water will be above it, regardless the height of the land.

But wouldn’t moving the land from the high points increase the circumference of the solid part of the Earth and stretch the water around it a little bit, making the height of the water a little bit less?

Yeah I keep an analog clock on the wall because it’s a more intuitive way to keep track of how long I’ve got to get ready to go out. I know where the angle of the minute hand will be when I have to be out the door, so it’s quicker to glance it it and know if I gotta pick up the pace or I got plenty of time or whatever.

Yeah the Yankees are always focusing on the big name superstars, and not putting enough effort into the fundamentals. They make too many errors, and they have unsuccessful results. It’s all about the money with them, there’s no real heart to them, and that’s why they lose.

Wait, we’re talking about baseball, right?

Well the cereal is baked which is a form of cooking. But yeah, it’s not cooked in the milk, so a bowl of cereal is not soup.

It has something to do with some popular Argentinian cowboy that was governor of the Falklands for a while a long time ago

What the people that actually live in the Falklands want is obviously ignored by the “historical sentiment is more important than what living people want” crowd.

Yeah we just called it the sound effect it made when you got it… it’s just hard to type out the exact sound.

Sure but the Palestinian flag appears on the usernames of people spouting a lot of antisemitism. And there’s a lot of people claiming the confederate flag isn’t about white supremicism. So there’s a high probability of an AI scanning conversations and coming to the conclusion that these flags have the same meaning.

Maybe instead of looking the other way on antisemitism in the Free Palestine movement, people that are a part of that movement should be calling it out? But as always it’s easier to look the other way and make rationalizations about how it’s ok for your allies in a movement to be racists assholes.

No I’m saying we’re preparing for every possible contingency no matter how unlikely. You’re talking like this is a certainty and we’re unprepared for it.

You’re not quite understanding the probability of an economic collapse of the US, the probability of the politcal collapse of the US, the probability of that leading to a civil war. These are far more likely scenarios than Trump convincing the US military to invade and ally without that resulting in the military turning on Trump, combined with the probability of our NATO (two of whom are nuclear powers) allies also abandoning Canada, countries like the UK which would’ve been fucked in WWII without Canada, along with a bunch of countries Canada liberated. I know as an American you think you single-handedly defeated the Nazis and all countries are beholden to you forever about it, but Canadians were flying over Britain in their darkest hour and Americans weren’t. Whose side do you think Europe will take? This scenario is 99.9% an internet fantasy, but we’ll be ready for that 0.1% anyway only because we have to plan for all possible contingencies. But you’re going on like it’s a certainty and it’s very very far from that.

Perhaps you should do meaningful boycott and sell your US based financial assets as a country

You think a guy like Carney doesn’t have financial plans for the US? It’s not in our interest to be the cause of a US financial collapse it’s better for us if that happens on it’s own, so Americans blame Trump for it.

dk why you’re mad at me I’ve been boycotting these fuckers for over half a decade, welcome to the club, you could do so much more, and be less hateful to people who have no controls over the levers.

Because you’re exhibiting the American superiority that’s the root cause of all of this mess. You think everything in the world has to revolve around the US, and can’t accept the US not being the bestest most greatest nation in history. You are not the rulers of the world, if your country collapses we’ll have a tough go of it for a few years, but we’ll be fine. Probably won’t even be as bad as the pandemic, and we got through that.

BOTH SIDES!

So are you leftist or MAGA? Y’all say the exact same things these days.
