  • At least Musk is so loud and obnoxious that it's easy to avoid him. Lex Luthor sits over there at Amazon quietly taking over the world and almost nobody gives him a second thought.

  • I wish this place was more like Reddit

  • This guy has never used Powerpoint on a Mac.

  • Counterpoint: The UK isn't allowed to leave the EU. There's no mechanism.

  • Calgary put the games to a plebiscite, and the IOC was shown the door. Nobody believes the cost projections anymore after Tokyo.

  • Like not plugged to power, or not plugged to a display?

  • Nobody:

    Pennywise: hits detonator

  • Far less than on the other site. I've been trying to commit in order to grow the Fediverse, even if I've got a few garbage hot takes. I will say, my shit comments seem to get way more responses than my good ones.

  • Michael Bay movies need more explosions.

  • An armchair war commentaror? ON THE INTERNET?!?!?!?!?1one

  • I'm not sure where you think I argued that the civilians would win. My argument is that there would be a civil war because there would be a ton of armed people on both sides of the conflict. You bring up Gaza City like they're all finished clearing it out. It doesn't matter how well an army is trained or equipped, urban warfare is absolutely brutal and it would be in America too. You think that the US military could take a city like New York without heavy civilian resistance? Don't make me laugh.

    To answer your question: Me and my buddies would likely be the first to die.

  • Your entire post ignores the reality of what urban small arms warfare looks like. Look at the hellish time militaries have in urban settings: Fallujah, Kabul, Aleppo, Gaza City. Yes, militaries are way better than regular civilians, but there's something like 400 million guns in the US. This isn't just a few people we're talking about here. If 1% of the population puts up a half decent resistance there's going to be a hell of a fight.

  • I disagree. That's all well and good when it's a common enemy, but when you're ordered to attack your family and friends who live in NY, that's a different ball game.

  • What makes you think the armed forces won't split in a civil war?

  • There's huge numbers of armed Americans who would be on both sides.

    ITT: people who think the armed forces wouldn't split in a civil war, and that hundreds of millions of civvy owned guns wouldn't be a factor.

  • Your Q love?

  • Building it first is far more important than building it right.

  • I've seen an uptick in Openshift adoption
