Not a Bannon fan, but he did nail how we got sold out here.

@skells A lot of the research that goes into this stuff is because I'm either going to write a book, or a game, to tell this story.

Navies really are a State game. And if anyone will compete with States on that front, it would be logistics or insurance corporations that need their own defensive navies to insure their cargo ships. As far as force multipliers go, navies take the most bodies to begin benefitting from those force multipliers, and every possible decision comes with either another limitation, a naval treaty, or a special interest group.

It was really interesting trying to work out what a naval defense treaty would look like in a coastal anarcho-capitalist region. Force-multipliers of air and land are one thing, but fucking _no one_ is in the business of making consumer-grade naval craft, and the consumer-grade ships out there require a crew complement -- a far cry from the drones and stationary/mobile defense systems the average person could have access to. But in the world of navies, undersea operations are the guerilla field -- whether it be mining or sabotage or coastal defense batteries done up in the most tasteful of historical styles, the propertyholders would not leave themselves vulnerable in that way.

With no radio authority in the area, signals intelligence and signals counteroperations becomes a lot more viable, as you are taking the risk upon yourself. Jamming, spoofing, outright sabotage to red force infrastructure would likely be commonplace to assert land, airspace, and radiospace sovereignty.

Just some thoughts.

If you identify as on the left, and aren’t always trying to become more “inclusive”, then you are called a bigot by gullible morons, and you lose social status among your fellow liberals.

The realization people need to have is that people that can’t recognize we’re at the point where straight men are shaming lesbians into having sex with them, and people are endorsing it.

Gay people do not need to apologize for being gay. Anyone that tells you, directly or indirectly, that a gay person should apologize for being gay, is someone that you should recognize is, at best, a moron, and at worst is actively predatory.

I eat oats 🤷

We taught losers how not to be losers. It taught them to grow up. Bullying, like most things, is extremely purposeful in moderation.

We need to bring it back. I’m doing my part as a cyberbully. Are you doing yours?

Freedom of speech and expression has always been curtailed to serve the masters of society.

What makes you think that this is in any way different in this day and age?

seeing a lot more people on fedi doing bad lately

- you will get a girlfriend
- you will get over your old girlfriend
- the world is not hopeless
- things just take too long to fall into place sometimes

I hope things get better for everyone the only advice I have for today is: don’t be a bystander in your life!

In the grand scheme of things, chopping things up by political party or by president or whatever is a great way of making sure nobody is responsible for anything.

I was watching a video about whether Biden was responsible for the inflation, and it made me realize how narrow a view you'd need to blame it all or not at all on him. It's a story going back at least to 1971 when Nixon ended gold convertibility and very much about the past 15 years since the great recession, and undoubtedly about the past 2 and a half years since the beginning of the pandemic, and it's about both political parties (and their counterparts around the world doing the same damn thing) because they've had basically the same policies in a lot of important ways.

But then you can just cut it off and go "Nope, new president last year, he's solely to blame" and move on to what you'll blame the next guy for...

Extreme helicopter skills! @adam

@skells we gotta pump those numbers up, those are rookie numbers
