If Al Qassam Brigades have been holding back from this, good.

If Al Qassam Brigades have determined that now is the time to do this, GOOD.

Idk, I’ve been in a “save your life now” situation, but I still took my pet.

That is wild, I'm truly sorry you have had first hand experience of this, if I had to guess I'd say the would-be victims were either viewing this remotely through the trail cam or just didn't have the context to think of this.

No, it truly did not occur to me. Even though I was looking up the dates for the autumnal equinox for the northern hemisphere! Thank you for reminding me.

North Atlantic Fellas Organization, a play on NATO/OTAN. Vocal online supporters of Ukraine in the Russo-Ukraine war. They were a big meme online circa the 2022 Russian invasion. Used a lot of doge memes. I recall they did a lot of glorifying of Javelin missile launchers for anti-armor, then the Switchblade drones (remember those? yeah, no one does), HIMARS (which were effective, but wonder weapons don't win wars) and memes like that. Calling Russians orcs and such. Basically too-online dudes who thought they were going to march off into glory before reality met them in the face. Probably very astroturfed, possibly psy-oped.

I'm just going to pull from Street Fighter 6, and first off say that the summer outfits they got on some of these ladies are straight-up distracting.

For the fellas, Jamie is a bisexual icon and I doubt that is canon and do not care. Zangief in his three piece suit alt costume with reading glasses. Dee Jay is a beefcake if you're into that, also a successful music producer and club owner. Guile's alt costume with boot cut jeans and vest over tight shirt and his ponytail is a look.

On the ladies side, I'm glad Cammy has traded her classic thong leotard for some workout tights because now I can talk about her without sounding like I'm . Chun-Li has been near the top of this list for three decades. Catsuit Juri is wild and she has definitely awoken in people feelings about toes. Marissa is canonically bi and has a slick Italian suit as an alt costume.

What even is the last time Western troops faced off against a peer adversary, Vietnam? Look at the Reddit brigade's experience in Ukraine. NAFO bros fold real freakin' quick when they realize they will get sent out as cannon fodder, if they can stay off they phones long enough to avoid being located for a Russian missile strike. Our society is zero prepared to absorb the casualties of a real war IMO.

Thank you for adding context. Yeah I was a little surprised they didn't call in a SWAT team if they believed the guy was in there and there was no immediate danger of a hostage. This was a depressing incident all around and I won't break out the officer-down balloons because like, well if it weren't these cops it woulda been the young woman and her mom.

I've got a (D) relative who worked their whole life for the MIC - who gets along just fine with (R)s, curious - who dropped the "I don't hate the people I just hate their government" line about China and it got me thinking.

What happened after the dissolution of the Soviet Union? Massive collapse in life expectancy and standard of living, explosion in drug abuse and alcoholism, prostitution, child abuse, well-positioned capitalists and underworld figures snapping up the people's assets for pennies on the ruble, just complete disaster. What the hell do they think is going to happen to one billion Chinese if the CPC is replaced with a capitalist ruling class?

And for that matter, how would your average USAian react to a Chinese saying, I don't hate the American people I just want to liberate them from their capitalist government and institute a dictatorship of the proletariat? Truly a lack of awareness and aptitude for projection that continues to stagger me.

I want someone fired right the fuck now for a staged self victimization or else I'm going to January 6 this Starbucks.

This happened on the 18th of September, it was posted here when it happened before details were known so I wanted to share it a little. No spoiler but CW for stalking and description of the shooting.

Deadly York County shootout that left three officers and suspect dead | Motive, how it happened

Authorities release names of 3 police officers killed in Pennsylvania shooting: Updates

The shooter was stalking a young woman who he briefly dated, went to the farm where her and her mother lived, and was waiting in ambush. They had put up a trail cam because the daughter's truck had been set on fire last month and they suspected the man, who had never been to the farm or invited there previously. They spotted him on the trail cam so they left and called the police.

The cops got there and swept the area and the surrounding fields with a drone, saw the house was unlocked so four of them went in and were immediately ambushed, leaving 3 dead and 1 wounded. The shooter fired at two sheriff's deputies in the street from the house, wounding one, then it sounds like he advanced on them and died in a shootout.

Guy definitely would've killed the woman and her mom if they'd been home or returned first. Guy killed dog in the basement.

This was all pretty depressing IMO. The district attorney correctly said this was caused by the scourge of domestic violence. Attorney general Pam Bondi called it an attack on our law enforcement, which whatever, fash is gonna fash. At the press conference Gov. Josh Shapiro said something about doing better for mental health for people who think picking up a gun is the answer - that bit really stuck in my craw. This is a typical line from politicians who don't want to grapple with gun violence, it is weasely in general but applying it to a DV situation was upsetting to me.

Also, spoiler because this sounds like
