worldnews@sh.itjust.works•Russia's Invasion Of Ukraine Now Longer Than Soviet War Against HitlerEnglish
5·8 days agoLike it or not, hitler makes a good base for comparative evil. It makes it easy for simpletons to compare to. And it makes it impressive that Ukraine has held out as well as they have.

7·8 days agoIt actually helps put it in perspective. Especially to those people who give the Russians so much credit for the end of WW2.
That’s not true. It was an exaggeration by a shark attack expert some years ago trying to downplay the dangers of sharks.
Dude, I’ve been so confused and bored with nothing to do that Ive considered some kind of electro-magnetic anomaly. My electrical system is old as shit. But I have it rigged to high powered modern electronics. Eventually I gave up on it and figured it’s probably something mundane and gave up on figuring it out or honestly caring. It’s one fork. Big deal. Honestly at this point if it’s kids in the matrix trying to communicate with me, that’d be great lol. But I probably just didn’t notice I smashed it in the drawer.
Just atlantic cod. They’ve been watching me but I’m onto them!
I get my kid on the weekend but that was a week night. Haven’t had guests over in a few weeks. Nothing else missing or messed with. No,no, and no.
I’m leaning into the drawer one, that it just got smashed in there somehow and I didn’t notice, but they’re significant forks, not cheap crap or anything.
I don’t, but also I would imagine that would leave marks on the tines.
Don’t have a dishwasher.
Hmm possibly? But I haven’t had the drawer be tough to open recently.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Ever bring up the wrong subject around the wrong people?
2·1 month agoTalked shit about cops to a guy I went to Iraq with who became a cop. I still give him shit for drinking his own piss. I treat him with contempt and he still thinks we’re friends.

3·1 month agoI’m as leftist as it gets. I was called baby killer by someone at a mall when I was 19. I get their stance now, though at 19 I hadn’t killed any babys, still haven’t. But I thought I joined for the right purposes. 9/11 just happened and I was impressionable as a kid. It hurt. I thought I was doing the right thing at the time.
Impressionable kids were brought into a system that fucked them over. I thought I was doing the right thing by saving Americans that I thought were vulnerable. I’m not proud of where I’ve been or what I’ve done. I am proud that it helped me understand the world, and my subsequent choices. It disgusts me to know how many people I served with, that came away with a different understanding.
I felt we were there to help. We did some stuff that looked that way. Sometimes it even felt that way.
“Hey go feed the hungry and hand out school supplies”
And then on your way back “btw you’re passing by such and such on your way back, eliminate everyone who offers resistance.”
And you think of the kids “hey thanks for the crayons, but I really wish you didn’t kill my dad and 2 of my uncles in the process”.
My son idolizes me and my time in Iraq. I keep telling him that’s not something to look up to, and the job is full of pain. I honestly don’t know where I’m getting at with this, other than there’s no excuse for wars that didn’t need to happen. The military industrial complex decides we dont have enough information for the next war, so we start a new one with a smaller adversary and make up excuses.
It doesn’t have to be that way if you just leave John wick the fuck alone.

4·1 month agoI’ve been playing jet moto with my kid. Just like I did with my dad, back in 1996.
You don’t have to be violent to encourage alcoholism or smoking.

World News@lemmy.ml•Giant sunspot on par with the one that birthed the Carrington Event has appeared on the sun — and it's pointed right at Earth
2·2 months agoYup, that’s the point. The grid fails, nobody has any communication, most digital records are gone. Good times.

4·2 months agoSun spots produce solar flares if the magnetic lines break. Big enough solar flares have enough ionizing radiation to work like an EMP. Knocking out satellites, phones, computers, modern cars, basically anything electronic that isn’t shielded. The chances of that happening are fairly low tho.
Ugh. I agree with this. But I don’t, at the same time. I’m of the opinion that people need to expire. There was a time where we could make the world a better place by working with people, but some just shouldn’t exist. Some people just can’t be reasoned with.



I’m officially nominating you to find out.
