  • Pakistan has a great airforce but their COAS would sign a surrender so fast it’s not even funny.

    It is hilarious seeing the difference in Pakistani public reaction online compared to 2019 when they shot down and captured an IAF pilot. Went from national patriotism to no one caring anymore and making memes about the possible outcomes.

    IWT has also been pretty rocky in implementation and has a history of being abused. India can’t permanently cut off the water because it would cause flooding on their side, and notably the Indus River also runs through China first which could make it tricky.

    I’m all for another PAF v IAF skirmish, but Pakistan really needs its democratically elected civilian government back.

    Big grants and research money connections are typically only accessible because your paper got published in a “reputable” journal, which of course you only have a chance of getting if you publish with a “reputable” system.

    Reputable my ass






  • Ubuntu, and the experience was crap lol.

    Then I got to try Debian on a server and it was much nicer.

    Then I saw Torvalds uses Fedora, and given that he also disliked Debian and Ubuntu for their lack of end user ease, I switched and have been happy ever since.

    Seriously though, GNOME 40 really should not be the default DE. It made me think Linux UI was years behind Windows when it was actually the opposite with proven DEs like XFCE, KDE, and GNOME 3/2 etc.



  • Criticism of one of the worst democratic party campaigns is clearly the mark of a tankie.

    There’s just no way telling your constituency and voter base to “fuck off” would have any kind of negative consequence on the election.

    It’s just simply impossible. We clearly lost because the tankies from .ml ran a nationwide psyop that lead to losing every single swing state.








  • Actually I did use to watch it quite often.

    My point was not that it dropped in quality, it’s just that it became slow to keep up with ongoing events with details and information readily available via basic OSINT on primary sources or even regular quality news outlets.

    Ex: https://youtu.be/dRRJmOTCqqQ

    Pretty much everything presented in this report was already well known and available for months, making the the rest essentially a PR moneyshot for the US Navy.

    I still watch it occasionally for its direct interviews with select people, but it’s still a legacy production that struggles to keep up with info you can get even from AP or Reuters.

    Mind you it’s still miles better than flaming trash like Washington Post or NYT, but I could easily see CBS axeing it years ago.



  • Yeah man I’m sure Winston Churchill, the drunken failure who lost his own easiest possible post WW2 election to Clement Attlee, is totally not blaming his loss to the voters and not his failure to run a proper public campaign.

    Harris was a good candidate

    Which is why she willingly chose to ignore millions of constituent demands, and banned an entire Democratic party ethnic base from partaking in the DNC because “fuck you, kiss Israel’s ass lol”.

    And that defnitley didn’t backfire at all because voters love being told to eat shit and vote for the lesser evil, especially after not being able to participate in a primary where a candidate people actually wanted could at least be voted on.

    spoiler

    Seriously the actual stupidity to run a Churchill quote in response to voter demands is astounding, especailly because he got shrekt in 1945.
