Wish it was AI datacenters tbh but hopefully those will at least fail on their own as energy prices climb.

I'm surprised that what's left of the rudder seems to still be attached. It seems like a surprisingly clean cut.

For those wondering, this is what an undamaged KC-135 looks like:

/u/la_tasalana_intissari_mata is correct that they are radomes, but they're not radars in the shape of a dome. They are a protective dome that covers the actual radar antenna array. The antennas tend to be sensitive so these exist primarily to protect against the elements. With the radomes destroyed so severely, I'm certain that the radar antennae inside are destroyed as well.

Iran is doing CSAR to presumably capture the pilots? Or is the US really trying to fly in a rescue helicopter???

Not gay enough. They must've left out the theater crew.

It is much easier to agree to disagree when your uncle isn't voting to strip you of your civil rights

Sighs this apathy for other people's suffering is so tiring. "It doesn't affect me negatively so it's not worth shunning the imperialism-enabler" is not the moral victory this person seems to imply.

I'm so tired of this, how do we change it? Does anybody have advise that has worked on helping people find a sense of solidarity?

Extremely critical support to AWS replacing their coders with chatbots.

In the run up to the 2021 parliamentary election, the BCS characterised itself as supporting traditional family values and the rival PAS as pro-LGBT in contrast. It proposed amending the Moldovan constitution to explicitly ban same-sex marriages and define parents as one man and one woman.

The BCS was also pro-Russian and anti-NATO.[20][21] Dodon accused Western diplomats of interfering in the 2021 parliamentary election, while Voronin claimed "dusky children [would] be born in Moldova" if NATO stationed troops in the country, an apparent reference to African American soldiers.

With "communists and socialists" like these, who needs fascists? Seriously though I'm begging for some anti-NATO parties in europe to be decent and not just pander to conspiracy-brained reactionaries. Especially if they're gonna connect themselves to communism and socialism.

Modern American gun control was started by Regan in California to combat the panthers (and probably other groups, it's been a long since I did a deep dive on this) protecting their communities against police violence. This isn't new in the slightest.

For those who didn't know like me, this is a quote from a video game. Not an actual U.N. commissioner.
