@hans_w Run linux, you will live longer :)
@verita84 I dont want him to intervene either... Pulling out, in and of itself, was a good decision. He just did a horrific job at pulling out effectively.
If anyone wants to watch Biden make excuses as to how he could so poorly botch the situation in Afghanistan he will be going live here shortly:
@verita84 As @SmartFella just pointed out, and is spot on... it only applies to mild cheeses. The ones with strong flavors like sharp cheeses or aged cheese, then cubed or stick form is the way to go.
@SmartFella didnt realize that, but thats actually kinda true... like aged provolone is way better as cubes, but american cheese sliced all the way, thinner the better.
Fuck cubed cheese. Eating cheese in sliced form straight up just hits different!

lawful good: he/him, she/her
neutral: they/them
chaotic neutral: she/them
chaotic evil: quinn/quinnself

I dont mind pronouns if its he/she even if they happen to be trans... They is kinda pushing it, anything beyond that is a shit show IMO.
I'm laughing my ass off mostly at the fact that **that** made you abort and not the line right above it where she says she is 16... that parts cool :)
@trinsec I'm the same... sometimes to such excess that when i finally attack it takes me just a few minutes to win.
Except that gulf doesnt actually exist here as you imply. In the event of a civil war is really no different. The people with guns raid villages and other attainable targets ont he other side, not large military bases. Its called a "war of attrition". Over time you weaken the spirit and will to fight of the other side and eventually win by having them give up or defect.
There is no reason to think that the same tactic used by the taliban in an american civil war lasting a decade or more wouldnt have the same effect, an inability to defeat the side with just guns and no F-15s and eventually needing to surrender or go on fighting forever.
Weve seen sides with no or little air superiority or missiles win wars (or stalemate them) so many times it amazes me people still use that old debunk trope that you need f-15s. The american revolutionary war, Vietnam, pretty much every USA backed conflict in africa.. in all cases our F-15s made little to no difference vs a few gorilla fighters with guns.

@freemo @swiley Well it was his peace talks that set up the problem, right?
> Washington under then-president Donald Trump signed a deal with the Taliban in February 2020 that limited direct military action against the insurgents. That allowed the fighters to gather strength and move quickly to seize key areas when President Joe Biden announced his plans to withdraw all American forces by the end of this month.[[1]](https://cbc.ca/1.6141568)
> If the Taliban meet their commitments, all U.S. troops would leave in 14 months [from February 2020]. U.S. troops are to be withdrawn to 8,600 from about 13,000 in the weeks following Saturday's signing.[[2]](https://cbc.ca/1.5481070)
If the government agrees not to engage in direct action against you and to withdraw its military, you no longer need to take it on at all, with or without F-15s or nukes.
The Democrats criticised Trump for reneging on the nuclear deal with Iran that Obama entered into, so now that Biden was faced with a deal with the Taliban that Trump entered into, they had backed themselves into a corner politically. Had they not made such a big deal that Trump was setting a *bad* precedent, Biden could have followed the precedent without coming off as overtly hypocritical.
I think the broader point, that a force comprising solely small arms is almost certainly incapable of defeating the US military, still stands. If the Taliban had retaken the country while the US forces were still actively trying to hold it, you'd have a much better counterexample.
My computator has a HDD light. I much prefer it. Most people I dont think even hook theirs up though

twitter is polite enough to tell you when you've been banned for thought crimes.
fedi just stops letting you talk to your frens one day because some admin somewhere put you on a shadowban list because some other fedi admin handed them a copy of some blacklist they got from someone else one day and it just looks like your friend fucked off but neither of you know anything happened.

So today I started taking liquid vitamins I make myself. The main reason is there doesnt seem to be a truly complete multivitamin and I just wont stick to it if i I have to take 5 different horse pills every day. The added bioavailibility and the fact I can customize it are nice bonuses.
The liquid vitamin i came up with has all the bells and whistles in one, calcium, magnesium, zinc, all your common vitamins like your B's and your A's and your K's, then I threw in some fluoride.
The end result is a 30 ml shot of not too horrible tasting liquid with every vitamin I could possibly want.
@torresjrjr yea GDP was a typo on my part :)
@torresjrjr Sorry, saw GDP and brain didnt register it as a price :)
