Incredibly based scientist

Sit’s docs are good. Trust them.

Yes I started running a Stay in Tarkov server last night for my friends. Pretty easy setup and while there are some minor bugs, it’s pretty good!

Bye bye BSG, I held off on SPT for a long time to support you… but no more.

Loving that the only dude who posted valid legal precedent in the same jurisdiction is getting down voted.

And then Lemmy users will complain how ass Reddit is for exactly this lmao.

Military aid packages are typically reported in USD (“10 billion in military aid”) but usually involve the direct transference of equipment (logistical or frontline) to the foreign country. Usually those countries are existing allies of the US (or at least friendly) and are probably already buying NATO/US gear.

I’m relatively confident that the US doesn’t typically give USD earmarked for US manufactured weapons systems.

Wut? The US government doesn’t pay other countries to buy US weapons. Those countries typically fund those purchases from their domestic defense budget. The US government just approves or denies the exports.

Exceptions are “military aid” which is case-dependent.

Are you under the impression that the US government pays those 100 countries to buy US made weapons? Or directly sells those weapons themselves?

Because when the average person hears “the government owes x Billion Dollars” the assumption is “they will be handing over X billion in cash”. It’s like the Ukraine military support - people hear “3 billion USD in military aid for Ukraine” and think the US is handing over 3 billion dollars, not handing over about 3 billion worth of old soon-to-be-retired equipment.

Which makes conversations about government debt really fun. It’s just a lack of understanding.

Zizek is based as fuck, even if you don’t agree with everything he says his books are really good

You’re batting 1 for 4 in sentences there bud.

How the fuck does cheating compare to violence?

Where did I say that?

If women incels talk shit and men incels shoot people, one is clearly worse than the other.

Yeah I agree, but that doesn’t mean that either are relevant to the conversation.

I have no stats to back this up because I’m not terribly interested in this topic

Your apathy is apparent.

However, I do defend my position that men are more likely to commit violence based on my own passive observations of news articles / headlines.

Correct, men are more likely to commit acts of violence. Would love to know where I disagreed with this.

Let me give you a quick recap of the thread so far:

1. “incel” was invented by a woman for herself
2. it’s safer to say negative things about men
3. men commit more acts of violence, so that’s fair
4. those two things (2 and 3) are unrelated, I can cherry pick some immoral statistic where women are worse than men, so using “immorality” as an argument is not material to the discussion
5. yeah but men commit more violence. Also, I don’t care about this at all which is why I instantly became disrespectful and started swearing.

You see the problem here? Black people in the US commit more acts of violence than white people in the US. That doesn’t mean we should use that as justification for being needlessly derogatory towards Black people. Also, you should probably reflect on that whole “I don’t care about this” thing. Have a good one, I’m muting replies.

That’s immaterial to the statement you’re replying to - Women are more likely to cheat in relationships, so I guess it’s fair game now?

As I mentioned, “from a store policies perspective”. The shrinkage isn’t worth the liability and risk for Walmart.

They can’t detain you even if they think you have stolen, though (from a store policy perspective). There’s a reason all these stores train employees “observe don’t interfere”.
