He didn't play, has been injured. Only attended practice for about a week, and didn't look good then either per reports.

God forbid you have to make an additional account that takes 2mins so you can do your pirating! Only people complaining probably aren't worth listening to, and don't really understand how the fediverse is meant to work.

Because they believe what they are doing is right and just (even if you or I disagree). There are shit ton of Zionist fundamentalists in Israel, and the demographics are only getting worse, as the fundamentalists are having more children then the more liberal and progressive Israelites.

Just because you have a frothing hatred of China doesn't mean everyone does. It seems totally reasonable to compare the US (the world superpower) to the up and coming main competitor.

Don't worry, votes don't mean anything here. Feel free to speak your mind :)

Subaru drivers, especially the SUVs almost follow the rules of the road TOO well, and also take 6 seconds to accelerate at a light for some reason.

Their devs have been having a hard time upgrading to the latest versions of lemmy as well, and as you probably know it's incredibly easy to sign up for an account on lemmy.world so the quality of comments and people is probably gonna be lower. I have an account on each instance, but yaknow it will take a while for everyone to figure out where they prefer to be.

You know it's objectively bad design when people have to make third party software to make your website not suck. Especially a shame for a company so large they have entire teams of engineers for each little component in the application.

You're projecting. Just because you've been hurt by systemic racism doesn't give you an excuse to be racist on an interpersonal level. Your rhetoric that those white people were always going to be radicalized to be racist or members of the far right is INSANE. You can pull up any example of ex-klan members who got help and reformed themselves and are even advocates against hate, to prove this isn't true. A lot of people fall into toxic worldviews because of the conditions they've been surrounded by. You're doing the same conflation of environmental factors as a means of inherent essentialism thought does, when you hear someone say "Black people are inherently more violent because they commit more crime per capita in the US". The sooner we treat everyone as real human beings, the better, and the sooner everyone can get past the racist and ignorant crimes of the past.

Also I'm not sure why you're calling me a settler. Would your opinions of what I'm saying be different if I was Black? Latino? Asian? What if I'm actually White? Would you think less of my opinion because I'm White? That's by definition what Racism is, my friend.

You should really self reflect on what you're saying.

Hey guys look, another person who doesn't understand the difference between racism and systemic racism and conflates the two into one idea.

If you honestly don't think it's not possible to be racist towards white people, you're delusional, and probably racist yourself.

Honestly this type of ignorant rhetoric is half the reason you see white people being radicalized to the right, because they're being gaslit. It's incredibly destructive and you should educate yourself before saying stuff like this.

It's also a factor of Russia not competently executing the initial invasion and got themselves bogged down. Similar to the Germans in WW1 on the western front, they got bogged down before they could take their key objectives, but the eastern front remained mostly mobile during the war because of the vast size of the front, and they eventually won on that front. Because you either win by our maneuvering your enemy an encircling them, or attriting the hell out of them till they have nothing left, and I think the pendulum has swung again towards a defensive advantage, especially with UAVs and remote mine laying systems, and precision artillery munitions.

It's a big part of why US doctrine is so focused on quick fast and overwhelming assaults and a strike first mentality. Even in Desert Storm they were severely worried about being bogged down by the Iraqi Army and starting a prolonged conflict with massive American losses. So it was imperative to flank the Iraqi Army from the western desert by the French Armored Corps.

I really don't think it's just in the probing stage. Ukraine has had a lot of losses trying to punch through Russian lines and have even publicly stated they have called for an operational pause to re-evaluate their tactics.

The tactical/strategic reserves just haven't been deployed because a breakthrough hasn't happened yet.
