    Imo if they go after any marginalized group it's our duty to stand up no matter what

    Afterall:
    First they came for the communists...

    They won't even escape trumps presidency unless the whole boat is a no internet/cable news zone. They'll still be watching MSNBC/CNN & checking Twitter, and seeing trump-moist constantly in the news would be one of their bigger complaints and reason to "escape" in the first place

    the other group this is aimed at are those who figure an endless cruise is better than a retirement home and I don't really blame them. Maybe not this specific one because who'd want to be stuck on a boat with not-listening maybe-later-honey maybe-later-kiddo but I can see the appeal of just being shipped around on a floating hotel to see different tourist trap ports.

    so long as you aren't concerned with the horrendous working conditions of the crew, the environmental impact of the ship, the impact of cruises on the communities they visit, etc...






  • The fucking orb drove me insane. It looks like it's right out of the worst fever nightmares of the infowars qanon conspiracy dipshits yet they were fine with it because it's fucking trump. Could you imagine what would have gone down if Obama or Biden posed for that pic?

    The Halloween one was just hilarious, just balancing the candy on top of the minions head was chefs-kiss




  • Drones in modern warfare are akin to machine guns in the late 1800s/early 1900s. First they're used by imperial powers against their victims (and helps justify imperial "superiority" due to lopsided casualties) for decades, long enough for said powers to develop the mindset that it isn't the machinegun/drone that makes them "special", the imperial troops are just "built different" and don't have to worry about going up against them.

    Then you have some smaller conflicts with portents of things to come, the second nagorno-karabahk war and the Ukraine war/the russo-japanese war, that show how much of a game changer these techs are. Some militaries might take note, some won't. Russia will clearly be prepared for this due to their experience in Ukraine but I'm not sure how much of a lesson America will take from this.

    Because there is another layer, and that's the profitability. The US MIC has gone with the low volume high margin approach to weaponry which is the opposite of what you need for mass suicide drones. And you just can't understand something that your salary depends of not understanding.
